How on earth is it already February?! It's true what they say - time goes sooo much quicker the older you get (especially when you decide to work for yourselves and your role is all-consuming! How do people do this and have a social life?! This is our social life!)
We are the cooks, the bakers, the accountants, the (questionable) social media strategists, the (also questionable) organisers, the receptionists, the payrollers, the HR team... You get what we're saying right? The list is never-ending!
BUT, we are absolutely not complaining, we are still properly loving it.
As we've both worked in hospo for years, we're very aware that Jan & Feb can be quiet months which can feel a little disheartening, especially after such a wicked festive period. The beginning of the year is always the time to tighten the purse strings, so a massive thank you to everyone who's popped in for some grub or a drink - it's kept us feeling pretty perky and looking forward to the year ahead!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Since we've added focaccia to our freshly baked in-house bread arsenal (alongside our epic bagels), we've been getting some wicked feedback. We've also had lots of requests to buy loaves to take home, so we thought... why not?!
Â
We trialled it last weekend and we sold out pretty quickly as we have a small kitchen we can only manage a limited amount, so don't hang about if you fancy some! We'll be starting with Saturday mornings for now, but we'll keep you posted if we add more baking days.
You can join us and the wonderful Sarah of Pop Print Studio next Tuesday for an evening of screen printing! You'll be learning all you need to know to design & print your very own tote bag. We'll also be rustling up some delicious sharing plates for you all to enjoy with a glass of wine, whilst you create.
The workshop will run from 6pm-9pm, Tuesday 20th February, and all materials will be provided - really looking forward to it!
SUNDAY SESSIONS
SUN 7TH APRIL, 3-8PM
We're getting together with Hex Records in April to bring you our first Wax & Snax.
The guys at Hex will be bringing you a carefully curated pop-up vinyl shop, whilst setting the mood and spinning some groovy tunes.
Â
We'll be dishing up our filled bagels & focaccia with lots of bevs so you can chow down and enjoy a few drinks - the perfect end to your weekend...
BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH
LAST SUNDAY MONTHLY, 10-3
Why not, hey?! It's the perfect excuse to catch up with your mates at the end of the month and put the world to rights over some good food & a few bloody Mary's!
Â
Check out our instagram to see what we're cooking up each week, then head to our website to book your table.
We're always nattering to each other as well as other people about ideas and collaberations we could try, which is very exciting and such a great way of connecting the wonderful community of Ipswich, and surrounding Suffolk.
We're currently in cahoots about a food and coffee pairing event with our lovely coffee suppliers, Christopher Montrose, some more collabs with Hex Records at St Stephen's Church, Ipswich, and wine tastings with our guys at Majestic... all exciting stuff!

Here's a reminder of our food service times at the cafe. Last orders for supper are 9pm but we're more than happy for you to stay as long as you like for a few after dinner drinks!

Anyway, that's about it from us for now. Thanks once again for all of the support you've given us since we opened just over 4 months ago, and thanks for signing up to our news letter to hear from us once in a while - we're living the dream!
Big love, Surrey & Gabrielle x
