Summer is best with the perfect iced coffee in hand. ☀️🧊

At Lounges, we use exceptional coffee from Clifton as the base for every iced coffee we make, and then it's over to you. Choose your favourite milk, add a syrup if you're feeling sweet, and create your perfect brew—just the way you like it.

Pop in, make it yours, and enjoy. ☕️✨️

💙 30 DAYS. 1 INCREDIBLE CAUSE. 💙

Wow, what a month it has been! Over the past 30 days, our team has been pushed to the absolute limit for our 30-Day Challenge, and it’s safe to say we’ve made some unforgettable (and hilarious) memories—all to raise vital funds for the amazing Francis House Children’s Hospice.

Here is just a taste of the madness we’ve put ourselves through:
👨‍🍳 The Great Wax: Our Chef bravely got waxed.
🪒 The Big Shave: Our Assistant Manager bid farewell to their hair.
🥶 The Ice Bucket: We dumped freezing ice water all over our GM and Head Chef.
🔥 The Spice Test: The team braved the world’s hottest crisp (tears were shed!).
🍋 The Lemon Challenge: Our incredible guests tried their luck balancing a 20p on a lemon.

WE NEED YOUR HELP FOR THE FINAL PUSH! 🌟

We cannot thank you all enough for your immense kindness, laughs, and donations so far. We are so close to hitting our £2,000 target!

If you are able to donate anything at all to help us cross the finish line, we would be incredibly grateful. No amount is too small

Can’t donate? You can still help!

Please share this post to your stories to help us reach a wider community and smash this goal for Francis House

🔗 Link to donate is in our bio!
