Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Heat Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback Heather - 👋"Hello. We spent the day at your lovely gardens on Saturday. As well as truly enjoying the wonderful woodland and gardens, we also enjoyed a coffee in your cafe. we forgot to make a note of the coffee brand and only thought afterwards that it was about the 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗲'𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀. Are you able to tell me what brand you use? Many thanks. Heather". ☕ Well, we tend to agree our barista coffee is something special and we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional experiences. @caffiacoffeegroup is the coffee brand we use and the blend we normally use is Creama. Let us know if you think we should sell take-home bags?
