Booooooooom! Another week, another month and another year is done and dusted! And what an incredible journey this has been!

We feel very honored to have our lovely happy little place in this side of the world, to live in an amazing village, to be part of it, to feel very welcomed by all, to have the trust of our customers for all their celebrations special treats or just a simple chat! The friendship, love and concern towards us both leave us speechless.

The journey was definitely challenging but definitely worth it. Once again thank you so much for everything!

So time to put our feet up for a little while. Between the 6th and the 16th of September we will have our Summer break just to gain strength and to start preparing Christ… oh no, forget it!

See you all on the 17th of September again!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the CycSpresso-martini evening! 😊

£150 was raised for Afghan refugees.

Thank you 🙏☕️
