Laura Tarburton mailed me over the last couple of days to tell me that she was starting a new venture right in the heart of Brownhills with baker extraordinare Tina Williams: Bean and Baked in the Community Centre on the Miner Island, open to the public every day of the week except Sunday and Monday.

This terrific looking coffee and cake stop opened on Thursday to a great reception, and I for one will be over there as soon as I can to sample the goodies on offer. People visiting so far have sent in great reviews which bode well for a great social and food space that will really become a focus for the community.

Bean and Baked is due to open in Brownhills on Thursday 8th August 2019. The Microbakery and coffee house will be located inside Brownhills Community Centre (the annex).

Local girls, Tina Williams and Laura Tarburton are eager to bring a new experience to the people of Brownhills and surrounding areas. Not only will baking take place daily from the premises, supplying fresh homemade cakes, bakes, brownies and savouries but a wide range of events will be hosted over the coming months, including pop up restaurants, jazz nights, gin tasting nights, board game clubs, acoustic nights and much more!

The coffee house will be serving outstanding coffee hand roasted in Shrewsbury and pulled using a beautiful vintage two lever coffee machine. The deli counter is freshly stocked daily with a wide range of homemade sausage rolls, quiches and salads. Other items on the menu include toasties, filled croissants and a brunch menu including smashed avocado on toast and buttery scrambled eggs on toast.

We are so excited to bring something special to Brownhills and can’t wait to welcome you!

Our opening times are;

Sunday and Monday – Closed for Baking
Tuesday – 9:30 to 7:30
Wednesday – 9:30 to 3:30
Thursday – 9:30 to 7:30
Friday – 9:30 to 3:30
Saturday – 10 to 3
