A New Neighbourhood Coffee Spot
We’re delighted to announce that Coffee#1 will be joining Botanical Place, bringing their much-loved coffee shop experience to our new, purpose-built retirement village. Known for their welcoming atmosphere and hand-crafted coffee, Coffee#1 is the perfect fit for Botanical Place’s vision of creating a vibrant, connected community.
Founded in Cardiff in 2001, Coffee#1 started with a simple mission: to create warm, inviting spaces where people could relax over excellent coffee. From humble beginnings, they’ve grown to 129 stores across the UK, while keeping that same independent, neighbourhood feel at the heart of everything they do.
The Coffee#1 Experience
What makes Coffee#1 so special? It starts with premium, hand-crafted coffee made by skilled baristas who add a personal touch to every cup. Add to that a menu brimming with tempting treats such as breakfast pastries, hearty baps and paninis, cakes, and even legendary giant tea cakes, and you have the perfect recipe for a welcoming spot to unwind. Seasonal creations, like their pistachio caramel chouxnut or a comforting maple pecan hot chocolate, mean there’s always something new to enjoy.
Botanical Place is all about creating a vibrant, welcoming hub where people can gather, relax and enjoy the community
Why Botanical Place?
Community is at the heart of both Coffee#1 and Botanical Place. As Coffee#1 explains:
“Botanical Place is all about creating a vibrant, welcoming hub where people can gather, relax and enjoy the community. That philosophy matches our own perfectly, and we’re excited to bring our neighbourhood coffee shop atmosphere to this unique destination.”
Residents and visitors can look forward to a relaxed environment, whether you’re catching up with friends, working on your laptop, reading a good book, or popping in with your dog (yes, there’s space for them too!).
Looking Ahead
With careful, steady growth, Coffee#1 continues to open in new communities where they can embed themselves and add real value. They’re also investing in enhancing seasonal menus and developing fresh flavours. Visitors to Botanical Place will be among the first to try their festive favourites as the doors open.
More Than Coffee: A Community Hub
For Coffee#1, being part of the community goes beyond serving drinks. Their coffee shops are places where local groups can gather, neighbours can connect, and everyone can feel at home. This aligns perfectly with Botanical Place’s goal of creating spaces that nurture wellbeing, connection, and a sense of belonging.
