Niamh Shannon, a Saltford local, saw potential in a derelict public toilet and, with hard work and determination, transformed it into The Little Coffee Shop. Situated in a prime location just off the main road, adjacent to the memorial garden and community fruit garden, the cafe has become a beloved gathering spot for Saltford residents and visitors alike since it first opened its doors in June 2015.
The cafe, operating seven days a week, offers limited indoor seating and additional tables on the grass outside. It is a bustling spot on sunny days, attracting not only locals but also cyclists and walkers looking for refreshment.
Sourcing supplies from local wholesalers and bakeries, the menu features a concise yet satisfying selection of options, including porridge, toast, bacon sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes, pastries, and a range of hot and cold beverages.
