This activity is good for wellbeing because

- it is a great place to meet friends, or have a moment to yourself.
“This café is a real gem! My first time visiting and it was an absolute delight. On a sunny day it was lovely to sit in the large back garden – there are also seats inside and on the front terrace. I will definitely be back, keep up the good work!” Trip Advisor Review

What to expect
Cara Coffee is a social enterprise that provides good coffee whilst doing good too. All profits go to local youth & family charity, Romsey Mill. It is mostly staffed by a team of volunteers and young people on work placement learning about the hospitality industry, however the service you will receive is caring and efficient.
There’s a daily menu of food, drinks and snacks including gluten and dairy-free options, freshly made coffee and sweet treats. Everything at Cara Coffee is reasonably priced, and they do their best to source local and ethical produce.
You can sit in the cosy café or there is covered seating outside, front and back.
Cara Coffee is open Tuesday to Saturday, but check the Facebook link for details of times.
