UK, US Cafés Open, Expand Services

New cafés are opening in several communities, bringing food, drink and gathering spaces to local streets and railway stations. In Reading, KADŌ Cafe has opened near Palmer Park, serving coffee, matcha, pastries and other treats, though the building faces unresolved planning issues over past exterior alterations. Market Harborough railway station has welcomed the Flying Bean Café after its café unit sat vacant for more than a year; the business is also planning a mobile coffee bar at the station. At Appleby railway station, a monthly community pop-up café will offer refreshments, locally made cakes and a book stall, aiming to give residents a welcoming place to meet during winter.
