THE Coffee House will open its new ‘bespoke and cosy’ store in Barons Quay on Friday.

With seating for 100 people inside and 50 outside, the new independent coffee shop and café will serve a wide range of homemade breakfast, lunches and confectionery, made at the business’ central kitchen.

It also boasts an extensive drinks menu, including a top quality, three bean coffee blend.

And as well as providing a good range of products, all of the 13 members of staff employed at the Barons Quay store are from the Northwich area.

The Coffee House owners Chris and Stephen Shelmerdine opened their first store in 2011 in Lymm, and have since successfully opened a chain of coffee shops located in Partington, Sale, Huyton and Widnes.

As well as receiving the best customer service, customers will be able to enjoy a clean and contemporary décor including a stunning, artificial tree which lights up as the evenings draw-in.

Instead of generic art on the walls, the new store will also feature a unique wall typography laden with local facts and quotes about Northwich, providing an interesting backdrop for customers.

“There’s a great community spirit here in Northwich and we are looking forward to being part of it in the coming months,” said Chris.

Northwich Guardian:

“Although we have other coffee houses, we wanted to make the Barons Quay shop bespoke to the local area, celebrating its history but also the exciting plans for the future.

“What sets us apart from the well-known coffee shop chains is our commitment to working with local producers, our home-made food and our excellent customer service.

“We hope that people will realise that we are not just another coffee shop.”

Barons Quay centre manager Lina Higuita said: “We are delighted to welcome The Coffee House to Barons Quay; a local, independent business with an established reputation in the North West.

“The Northwich shop is completely different in terms of fit-out compared to the other coffee houses and brings an exciting new offering to the scheme.”

Dean Davies, manager of the new Northwich store, added: “We have a great team here in Northwich that is excited to welcome shoppers, workers and local residents to try The Coffee House experience.

“The sparkly tree certainly creates a cosy environment perfect for those wanting to escape the wet weather for a while”

The Coffee House at Barons Quay is open Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm, and on Sundays between 9am and 4pm.
