A Huge Thank You ❤️

Over the past couple of weeks, we Niche have faced some unexpected challenges that, at first, seemed quite daunting. However, what could have been a difficult time has instead become a truly rewarding and positive experience, thanks to the incredible people around us.

To my amazing team – thank you for your hard work, dedication, positivity, and unwavering support. You have shown resilience, kindness, flexibility, and professionalism every single day, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved together.

To our wonderful customers and community – thank you for your patience, encouragement, understanding, and countless acts of kindness. Many of you started as customers but have become friends for life. Time and time again, you have stepped up and stepped in wherever you could to help keep things running smoothly, whether that was offering practical help, words of encouragement, or simply being there when we needed you most.

The support you have shown us has been overwhelming in the very best way. It is easy to say that we have wonderful customers, but what we have at Niche feels like so much more than that. We have a community of genuinely caring people who look out for one another, and that is something very special.

Running a small independent cafe is never just about serving food and drinks; it’s about people, relationships, and community. The way our community has rallied around us (me and our team) over the past few weeks has been truly humbling and a reminder of just how fortunate we are.

I am incredibly grateful to each and every one of you and immensely proud of our team. What seemed like a daunting challenge on the surface has shown us just how strong, supportive, and special our Niche family really is.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for standing beside us, believing in us, and helping us move forward with positivity, confidence, and a smile.

With love and gratitude,

Sue & The Niche Team ❤️

I am really sorry but we will no longer be able to launch the evening small plates offering that we had planned.

Due to some unexpected changes within the business, I have had to make the difficult decision to focus all of my time and resources on our daytime cafe service. As a result, I simply don’t have the capacity to deliver the evening experience to the standard that our customers deserve.

I know many of you were looking forward to it, and I am genuinely sorry for any disappointment this may cause.

Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and loyalty. Right now, my priority is ensuring that Niche continues to provide the great food, drinks, and service that you know and love during our regular opening hours. We will stay open later some evening during the summer months for drinks.

Thank you for sticking with us.

Love Sue ❤️

A little note from us at Niche 💚

We’re so grateful for the lovely community that fills our cafe every day — it really means the world to us.

We just wanted to gently explain one of our important house rules, as it comes from a place of care.

We are a nut-free cafe, created to be a safe space for those living with severe anaphylaxis allergies. For some, even the tiniest trace of nut protein can cause a life-threatening reaction.

Because of this, we kindly ask that only food and drinks purchased from Niche are consumed at our tables. This helps us keep the environment as safe as possible for everyone — our customers, our team, and our families.

We completely understand that this might not always be obvious, and we never want anyone to feel uncomfortable. But if we do need to remind you of this, please know it’s coming from a place of genuine care and responsibility.

Thank you for helping us look after one another and for being part of such a kind, supportive community

NEW BAKE TODAY 🍏✨

Our latest creation fresh out of the oven…

A beautifully spiced gluten-free & dairy-free apple cake, packed with soft, tender apples and topped with a warm cinnamon brown butter-style glaze 🤎

It’s rich, comforting, and full of flavour — the kind of cake that feels like a hug with your coffee ☕️

As always, made fresh in-house with love.

Pop in and grab a slice while it lasts… this one won’t hang around long 😉

We get asked a lot why all of our cakes are gluten free… and honestly, it’s simple.

Anyone can eat gluten free. Not everyone can eat regular bakes.

When we first opened, we sold mostly traditional cakes with the odd gluten free option—but cakes were the hardest thing to get right. So I got to work. It took months of testing, tweaking, and a lot of honest taste testing.

Nothing made it onto our counter unless people genuinely couldn’t tell the difference between gluten free and regular.

Now? We know they’re just as good—if not better.

For us, it’s about making sure everyone can walk in and choose something without feeling left out. And we’ll never compromise on taste to do that.

Pictures are our actual gf cakes! And we will have our gf millionaire shortbread tomorrow!
