Nottingham indie coffee chain reveals 16th venue
Nottingham indie coffee roasting firm, 200 Degrees Coffee, is set to open another venue in Barnsley’s The Glass Works.
The new 101-seat coffee shop is the latest in an aggressive expansion plan by the firm, which was co-founded by East Midlands Leader of the Year, Rob Darby.
The coffee shop will create 15 new jobs and open its doors to the public on Monday 25th April.
200 Degrees Coffee, named after the unique roasting temperature chosen by the company to achieve the perfect blend, was set up by Tom Vincent and his business partner Rob Darby in 2012.
The new Barnsley venue will become their 16th coffee shop, in addition to their original Roast House near Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
200 Degrees Director, Tom Vincent, said: “We are thrilled to be coming to Barnsley and can’t wait to become ingrained in the community. We have already been blown away by the welcome we’ve had.
“We will of course be bringing our signature roast to Barnsley along with a wide selection of freshly prepared breakfast and lunch options. Accompanied by cakes and pastries that we’re sure will be popular with the locals.
“I am personally quite excited at the thought of being able to sit down in a cosy corner of our shop, gazing out at the Kes statue through the window. What better way to enjoy a coffee than taking some time to reminisce on childhood memories?”
Councillor Sir Stephen Houghton, leader of Barnsley Council, said: “We’re delighted to welcome 200 Degrees Coffee to Barnsley. It’s a brand with a strong reputation and will provide another great space for our residents and visitors to catch up with friends, and to take a break from working and shopping.
“With the likes of Coffee Boy, Falco Lounge, Caffé Botanico and more, the town centre’s café culture continues to evolve and I’m sure 200 Degrees will be another hugely popular addition.”
