Bristol coffee shop owner praises customers for 'amazing kindness' after tip jar stolen

A Bristol business has praised the "amazing kindness" from customers after a tip jar was stolen from one of their coffee bars. The owner of Can't Dance Coffee said: "I can’t describe how uplifting it’s been to see the community support us."

The Bristol-based independent coffee chain has locations in Victoria Square, Clifton and Weston-super-Mare. It posted on Instagram reporting that after a tip jar was stolen from the Clifton site on Monday, customers who witnessed the incident all chipped in to offer up whatever change they had in their pockets to make up the pot.

The coffee shop's founder Lucy Grantham told Bristol Live: "The other customers realised what happened, and they jumped to help, and each donated to the tip jar. We had around £50 stolen, and in the five minutes directly afterwards, we had £30 again donated from generous regulars.
