The Workhouse is an independent coffee shop and bakery, known for our famous cake counter.

Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee, meeting friends, or stopping by for a bite to eat, everything we do is centred around quality and care.

We’re passionate about what we serve. Our menu is intentionally simple, with a focus on doing things well—quality ingredients, locally sourced where possible, and thoughtful preparation in everything we make.

But what really matters to us is the atmosphere. The Workhouse is a place where everyone is welcome—a hub for the local community and a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again.

Housed in a historic village workhouse, we celebrate its original charm and character, blending heritage features with contemporary style.
