A shop in Easton that has sat empty for five years has been given a new lease of life. New cafe Radical Roasters has opened up serving coffee cakes and light bites.
Cat Manson began roasting coffee in her shed a year ago but has taken the leap to expand the wholesale business into a café, serving coffee, cakes and light bites. It is open on Fridays and weekends while the space is used for roasting coffee during the rest of the week. Cat plans to expand the opening hours slowly alongside opening up the space to community groups, offering coffee roasting training and tasting sessions.
She said she wants Radical Roasters to be an inclusive space where everyone can feel welcome. Sustainability and social responsibility are at the heart of her business model, which means minimum waste and a fair price for coffee farmers.
