Hello from T&T!

So here we are. The decorations are down, the leftover chocolates are finally finished, and Monday morning arrived with its usual lack of fanfare. Welcome back to reality – or at least, January's version of it.

We know this week feels like a bit of a shock to the system. The gentle drift of the holidays has been replaced by alarm clocks, packed lunches, and the sudden remembering of what day the bins go out. The world expects you to simply resume normal service as though the past two weeks didn't happen.

But here's the thing: you don't have to tackle it all at once.

This week, we're thinking about easy wins. The small things that make the return to routine feel less like a forced march and more like settling back into a rhythm that actually works. A proper coffee on the school run. Ten minutes with the newspaper before the day properly begins. A midweek pause that isn't rushed or guilty, just... there.

January doesn't need to be about dramatic overhauls or punishing resolutions. Sometimes it's just about remembering what helps, what works, and what makes the everyday feel a bit more manageable.

We're here for it all – the early morning takeaway orders, the mid-morning breathers, the "I've earned this" Wednesday afternoon visits. Whatever your version of easing back in looks like, we've got you.

Welcome back. Take it easy.

P.S. Our retail coffee range has been flying lately – if you've been meaning to upgrade your at-home setup, now's the time. Square Mile, Volcano, and lots of exciting brewing options are in stock. Plus we can grind your beans!

Happy New Year, Hello Gentle Routines ☕✨

Happy New Year! 🎉 As routines gently return, we’re here to make weekdays feel brighter. School runs are back, workdays are filling up, and mornings matter more than ever. Swing by for a coffee before work ☕, linger after drop-off for relaxed coffee mornings, or pop in between meetings. T&T is your midweek reset - friendly faces, comforting brews, and space to breathe. Ease back softly, one cup at a time. Plan a weekday visit, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet moment. New year, same great coffee, happier routines ahead. 😊 Start January smiling, sipping slowly, and letting small daily rituals lift you gently today.

FROM ROOKERY FARM

We’re starting January with something we really love 🥚✨ We’ve been using Rookery Farm’s organic eggs in our kitchen for years 💛 They're laid by happy free-range hens, full of rich flavour and golden yolks. Perfect for easy breakfasts, cosy brunches, or simple weekday meals as routines settle back in. We’re excited to have them on our menu and on our shelves, fresh and ready to take home. When you pop in, have a look and grab a box. A small, lovely way to begin the new year with good food, local farming, and feel-good starts. 🌱🍳
