Visited “Coffee” - next door to Holgates (Men’s clothing). Nice ambience to the place; friendly staff. Ordered a Mocha (I am so adventurous!), and there were three tempting cakes on display. One looked as though it could be a Fruit Cake (about two inches deep and topped with brown sugar). Turned out to be a Blueberry and Lemon Drizzle Cake - which sounded interesting - and I weakened, of course! You get yourself seated and your order is brought to your table. The cake was quite delish! Would think it’s homemade - rather than commercially made. The “lemon drizzle” is very lemony - but not too sharp.
Well worth a visit and do try that cake - highly recommended. And, yes, I shall be returning - soon!

Re: Coffee - next door to Holgates
Good question, Meryl! Holgates (with "Coffee" next door) is in the north end of London Road north - between Milton Road East and Artillery Way. If you work down from Artillery Way - on the West side - is Cooks Furnishing, and walk south a few shops - and you'll come to Holgates - Men's Clothing - next door to that is "Coffee" at Number 179 - I only know 'cos you can see that in the photo!
My apologies for not mentioning where it is - I always think because I know where somewhere is - everyone else knows!!

Re: Coffee - next door to Holgates
Surely the Mr Holgate who I purchased my first Beatle polo neck shirt during the Rock and Roll days must be dead. Always smartly dressed with bow tie,a real character. A coffee shop next to Holgates - oh dear what is Lowestoft coming to.

Re: Coffee - next door to Holgates
Blimey, is Harry Holgates still there? Is the army surplus still there too?
It's grim up North...

Re: Coffee - next door to Holgates
Very unlikely! I would think that it’s the name that has been retained - and the shop still sells menswear. The Army Surplus shop has closed.
