We first discovered No 9 last September (when we were two) and since then the three of us (as we now are) have called in whenever we can to bathe in the friendly atmosphere, enjoy a bit of banter possibly, and certainly sample the delicious coffee, cakes (oh, the Tiffin! – but actually you can’t go wrong with any of them) and sarnies. No 9 feels a true community hub with its cast of regulars, occasional callers and staff. We love your Fairtrade philosophy, the newspapers, colouring pens & WiFi are all lovely touches, and Evie always gets a fuss made of her (and a cuddle when it’s quiet). Thank you for all the effort you put in to make it look so effortless!
