I started Zip over a year ago but never really had a plan of what it was going to be or what it could become, just that it was going to be a place to drink some delicious coffee and hopefully be a positive addition to the neighbourhood.
In all honesty, I only took the risk of starting my own business because the guys at Franks had an opportunity for me to do so and it allowed me to open something for myself with a bit of a lower risk.
I’ve loved every minute of Zip and looking back on what I’ve achieved in a short space of time is something I can be proud of. From creating a space for great coffee to hosting a run club, bike rides, Christmas pop up, Supper club with Marrow, pop up coffee for Body Therapy, working with coffee roasters and baking countless loaves of banana bread!
So, some of you may be aware of Franks closing and we’ve all decided it’s time to change things up a bit…. But don’t worry, the coffee isn’t going anywhere! We’ve decided to join forces to bring you an all day cafe bar dining experience and with the addition of Eat Marrow curating the menu.
What this means - so I’ve decided to close Zip in its current form, our last day will be Sunday 18th October as we need to do some refurb work for a few weeks. So come grab a coffee, cake, bag of beans or just have a chat and keep your eyes out for the new opening!
I’d also like to thank everyone that supported Zip and helped make it what it is! It means a lot and it’s been amazing seeing everyone who came through the doors and who knows, maybe Zip will be back in the future…
So let’s just say goodbye for now…
Much Love x
