The Shop, Cafe & Bakery

The Lantern Café and Shop are housed within the Lantern Centre, an award winning, beautiful building.

The shop is the main outlet for selling the beautiful, high quality products made in our onsite craft workshops. They also sell fair trade gifts, local crafts , organic food, organic toiletries, and environmentally friendly cleaning products.

Dear Valued Customers,

We have some exciting news to share with you about our café! As part of our commitment to serving our community in the best possible way, we’re making a few changes that we think you’ll love.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be transforming our café into a cozy coffee shop where you can enjoy top-notch coffee and scrumptious cakes. This change allows us to focus on creating a space where our wonderful companions (adults with learning disabilities) can shine. They will be at the heart of our café, gaining valuable experience and bringing joy to all our customers.

Why the Change?

1. Community-Centered: We’re dedicated to providing our companions with meaningful training and interaction opportunities, helping them to grow and thrive in our community.

2. Enhanced Quality: By offering a simpler menu of delicious coffee and cakes, we can ensure every item we serve is of the highest quality and taste.

3. Future Delights: This transition period will allow us to carefully craft a seasonal menu that we can’t wait to share with you, filled with fresh and exciting flavours.

What to Expect:

Delicious Coffee and Cake: Savor a variety of expertly brewed coffees and delightful cakes.
Warm and Welcoming Service: Our team, including our amazing companions, is here to provide you with a friendly and inclusive experience.
Seasonal Surprises Ahead: Look forward to a new, delicious seasonal menu coming soon, made with love and care.

We’re thrilled about this new direction and believe it will create an even more special place for our community to gather. Thank you for your understanding, support, and for being a part of our café family. We can’t wait to embark on this new journey with you!

Kind regards,

Alice Rankin - Lantern Café
