On Monday, 12th April 2021, government guidelines change meaning hospitality venues can reopen their outdoor seating areas to the public. For me, you can keep your pints and your beer gardens but sitting in a coffee shop with a hot drink watching the world goes by is one of the things I’ve really, really missed.
Below, are a few of my favourite coffee shops who are preparing to welcome us back soon.
