We’re never short of cafés here in the East Midlands, especially in our city centres, but this new coffee shop opening up in Derby is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Café Blanc, who specialise in Brazilian coffee, will open its doors for the first time next Monday (January 26) in the former Century 21 office on St James’s Street. A wide range of food options will also be available to its caffeinated customers.
The new venue will specialise in expertly brewed coffee, including quality espresso-based drinks and carefully selected blends, alongside a diverse menu of breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes.
Guests can enjoy freshly prepared sandwiches, light bites and indulgent desserts, all served in a relaxed and comfortable setting ideal for casual meals, social catch-ups or solo visits.
Owners say the new café’s atmosphere and food offerings will ‘reflect a growing trend in Derby for independent and speciality coffee houses that cater to both everyday routines and leisurely visits’.
“The wait is almost over and we can’t wait to welcome you”
