A coffee shop that opened in Nottingham just over a year ago has closed its doors and is now up for let. Barista Lab was one of the new businesses to open up on Bridlesmith Gate last year in a bid to give the pedestrianised street a new lease of life after a string of closures.
Soon after opening in the former Dune shoe shop in May 2022, those who ventured there were impressed. The cafe was described as a "coffee-lover's paradise" by one visitor who added: "The coffee was superb. And a little less pricey than some other high-end coffee places in town." Another customer thought: "Very underrated. Absolutely great prices and coffees."
As well as coffee and milkshakes, food including croissants, paninis, and cakes was served to customers, who had two floors of seating to chose from. Upstairs had a cosy 'living room' with a Chesterfield sofa and armchairs to sink into, a fireplace and wooden crates crafted into coffee tables.
