🎉today is The Courtyard Cafe’s 3rd birthday 🎉🥳
3 years of coffee, chaos, and somehow reaching the 3 year mark.
What started as a bit of a gamble has turned into a place full of familiar faces that continue to support us week in week out.
To everyone who’s queued, chatted, brought their dogs, spilled things, broken things, stayed too long, ordered extra hot coffee, made us repeat “do you want that on white or brown bread?” for the whole order,
held up the till when we are busy,
asked for “just a coffee”, asked for a takeaway then sat down to have it, said your order before we log in to the till,
ordered decaf (we forgive you), asked when we close then stay 15 minutes after we close, just know we love it all and we are so glad you keep coming back — you’ve made this what it is.
Still learning, still grafting, running on fumes and caffeine but still going!
To the team YOU ARE THE BEST EVER and I can’t say this enough. All of you work so hard, I’m lucky you’re all here!
Please continue to support small businesses 💚 and thank you for supporting mine 💚
