A short stroll behind Bristol Temple Meads Railway Station and you’re surrounded by new developments. The new buildings in the city centre are growing upwards, with glass-fronted buildings containing glitzy new flats and offices.
Temple Quay has become a small community for many office workers to enjoy a brief respite from the daily grind. I deliberately made my way to Small Goods in Glass Wharf outside of the morning and lunchtime rush to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee.
But it’s not just coffee that calls people to Small Goods. The coffee connoisseurs behind Small St Espresso and Little Victories launched their third site in 2021, an idea dreamt up from a mutual love of doughnuts from owners. It's just a few steps away from it’s also a few yards away from Oxford Street, which has become a strip for indie traders under the arches, home to Little Martha’s, the Pasty Emporium and The Ding’s Del to name a few.
