From Derelict to Delight: The Transformation of a Public Toilet into a Thriving Coffee Shop

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.

The cafe exudes a friendly sense of community, with customers often engaging in lively chatter with each other and the staff. Its presence has added to the charm of Saltford, providing a top-notch gathering spot aside from the local pubs.

It’s no wonder that regulars and first-time visitors alike appreciate having such a charming hub right on their doorstep.
