Coffee & Cake Department

Good coffee matters but people matter more!

For us here at the Coffee & Cake dept our mission has always been about the people - from Jute coffee our local coffee producer to our lovely milk man Ashley; from barista training people to our amazing bakers and all the volunteers that make it all happen. Today we mark 7 years of the Coffee and Cake Dept. We are currently shut as the world battles against Covid 19 but will be back running soon!

Coffee & cake dept is a non profit, volunteer run coffee shop. We feel privileged to be raising money to provide for fresh-clean water for people in Malawi. Click the button below to see how we are helping in Malawi. We love working as a team with a diversity of people. We try to help volunteer by gaining ‘back to work’ confidence, from learning new skills to making new friends, mentoring youth on a Saturday & helping them to achieve DofE awards. When new volunteers with spare time just need a bit of encouragement or a smiley face to conquer fears and anxiety, to finding new jobs and careers, we like to meet people where they are at!

Why coffee & cake? We are pretty sure that some of the greatest lessons in life can be learnt behind the counter!

- The power of attention to detail

- The path of precision

- The flow of a clean work space

- The humility in serving

- The strength to keep cool when things go wrong 

- And how to really enjoy a morning coffee with a smile

Working with people, loving people, engaging with youth, praying for people, and our outreach efforts all point towards Jesus! Whilst most people don’t expect a cup of coffee to change their life, here at Harborough community church we do. It takes a group of passionate people to build a good cup of coffee and we know that’s the secret to an amazing chance to reach out to our community!
