Space Coffee offers fast, free wifi and meeting space is available for freelancers looking for a base to work from. Additional uniquely designed spaces can be privately hired for informal get togethers, as well as celebration events like christenings, birthday parties and baby showers.

Speaking about the opening a spokesperson for Space Coffee commented:“We saw a need in the area for a new quality cafe proposition, one that’s modern and multi-functional, where you could meet friends and enjoy some lunch, use as a working hub away from the hustle of the city or simply grab an easy bite to eat whilst you’re on the go. We’re looking forward to welcoming our first customers.”
