SmallTown, Clare

SmallTown is a friends-owned cafe and bakery, brought about in 2021 by childhood buddy’s, Ben and Ed, who share a love of good coffee and good bread. Living close by to their childhood homes in lockdown led to the joint realisation that small towns often seemed to be deprived of great places to grab a coffee, a loaf of bread and somewhere to gather.

Fast forward to 2025, and our original cafe in Clare (Suffolk’s smallest town), is a key part of the community. Locals and visitors alike gather knowing they can get exceptionally brewed coffee, freshly baked sourdough and pastries on a daily basis. And this is our aim, pure and simple. To provide you with a few of life’s simplest pleasures - very, very well.

Lavenham Blue Vintage Tea Rooms is a much loved business owned by Amanda Mortimer. Back in 2016 after experiencing a life changing illness, enough was enough, it was time to live life to the full and so the story began!   

You will find us in the heart of Lavenham with views across the market square onto the magnificent Guildhall. 

Be taken back in time as you enjoy the Ink Spots or maybe Glenn Miller being played on the gramophone. Four generations of original family photographs hang on the walls! Enjoy your tea or coffee from bone china tea cups, with pretty tea cosies to keep your tea warm.

Blend Coffee & Wine Bar, Bury St Edmunds

Blend Coffee and Wine Bar was born out of a simple idea: we wanted somewhere where you could enjoy great coffee and a decent glass of wine, without having to choose between a café or a pub. 

In 2024, we opened our doors on Abbeygate Street and set out to create a relaxed, welcoming space where coffee lovers and wine fans could feel at home, any time of day. The renovation took longer than we’d hoped but we couldn’t be happier with the result. It’s a calm, comfortable spot that works just as well for a morning flat white as it does for an evening glass of wine.
