The team behind a Clifton bakery that closed down due to the cost of living crisis is opening a cafe on the same site. Called Mercy Mercy Mercy, the new venue on Boyces Avenue by the former Sunday General owners promises brunch, booze and great cups of coffee.
Sunday General was an independent bakery and grocery store that closed in January citing the impact of the cost of living crisis. Owned by Studio B - a design studio above the store - it opened during the second Covid lockdown in the autumn of 2020 with the aim to encourage more people to shop locally.
Now, the site is being reopened by the studio as a neighbourhood cafe with Kate Rummery, manager of the former bakery and store, returning to oversee the new venue. Studio B is also behind the eye-catching branding of Mercy Mercy Mercy and is the creative vision of Wiper & True's huge headquarters in Old Market.
