A popular coffee shop in the city centre has announced its intention to close from Monday, November 7. The Specialty Coffee Shop on Maid Marian Way was known for its unique Italian food and coffee.
The cafe owners cited the years spent in the pandemic, the crashing economy and the rising cost of living as the reasonswhy they had been forced to close. They shared that the factors had affected the business but it had been 'an honour' to serve the Nottingham scene.
The coffee shop was owned and run by Lucy Giacone and her partner Michelangelo Franco who set up the shop after they visited a coffee plantation in Costa Rica and decided to apply their knowledge to selecting and serving excellent coffee. The cafe won awards including the Nottingham Independent Business of the Year 2019.
