Wadhams cafe counter with exposed brick walls, wooden bar top, bar stools, potted plants and decorative rope coil

More than a café.

Coffee. Food. Cocktails. Creativity. Community.

We'll be us, and you be you.

A community space, built around the day.

Wadhams is a community space built around good coffee, great food, drinks, creativity and connection. Come for breakfast, stay for lunch, meet friends, grab a coffee, settle in for the afternoon or stay into the evening.

We noticed a craving for somewhere that wasn’t just a place to drink, but somewhere to belong — a community, a testament to quality and craft.

One space, many experiences.

At Wadhams, we don’t just serve coffee and food; we curate an experience. We partner with local roasters, makers and creatives who share our commitment to quality. From morning espresso to evening cocktails, the space changes pace with the day.

And upstairs, a fashion degree runs alongside the rest of the building — Wadhams is part café, part creative community.

What Customers Are Saying

“Had a lovely lunch here today. It’s a regular coffee stop for us but never eaten there. We sat in the recreate garden accessed through the cafe. Very quiet, lots of flowers and very relaxed. Ciabattas were fresh, tasty and plentiful. Good value.”

— Ali H

“Highly recommend giving Wadhams a visit. I regularly go there for their chicken caesar wrap which is absolutely gorgeous. The milkshakes are absolutely heaven too, especially the biscoff one! Staff are so lovely with a fantastic sense of humour and go above and beyond.”

— Samantha Sheridan

“Really nice atmosphere and helpful staff. The cakes are absolutely delicious. I had the best poppy seed cake I've ever tasted. I was also very happy that they have vegan options, so I was able to have a cappuccino with oat milk to accompany my cake.”

— Nina C
