🍂 A little Tuesday update from Heather’s Café! 🍰☕

Well, it’s shaping up to be a rather lovely (and busy!) week here at Heather’s, so I thought I’d give you all a little update on what’s happening!

First things first… THE CAKES! 🤤
I’ve been busy baking away, and we’ve got an absolutely gorgeous selection for you this week, including:
🍪 Biscoff Cookie Bars
🍋 Lemon Brownies
🍫 Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Brownies
💕 Jammy Dodger Blondies
🍋 Lemon Drizzle
🍯 Daim Bar Millionaire’s Shortbread
🍫 Honeycomb Tiffin
🍰 Our beautiful Toffee Loaf (which has been absolutely flying out!)
🍒 And, because apparently we’re doing fruit cake now… FRUIT CAKE! 😂
Plus plenty more little treats making their way into the cabinet throughout the week!

Tomorrow, Wednesday 23rd September, we’ll be welcoming the lovely Tracy from Blended Wellbeing for a meet and greet. 💚
If you’ve been curious about what Blended Wellbeing is all about, fancy meeting Tracy, or simply want to pop in for a cuppa and a chat, do come along! There’ll be plenty of cake and a warm welcome waiting for you.

Then on Sunday 27th September, we have our September Grief Circle. 🕊️
I think it’s fair to say that life has felt rather heavy for a lot of people lately. Between the chaos of the summer holidays, settling back into routines, and all the personal challenges that so many in our little community have been navigating, sometimes we just need somewhere to sit, take a moment and be amongst familiar faces.
Whether you’re navigating bereavement, struggling with a difficult chapter of life, or simply feeling the weight of everything at the moment, you’re very welcome to join us.
There’ll be cake, cuppas, conversation and absolutely no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

I’m a little late announcing it, but on 16th September, Heather’s Café officially celebrated its second birthday!
Two whole years of coffee, cake, chaos, laughter, community and an extraordinary amount of washing up. 😂

Thank you to every single one of you who has supported us, popped in for a coffee, bought a slice of cake, shared a post, or simply made this little café feel like the wonderful place it is.
Here’s to year three, to more cake, more lovely people and whatever adventures lie ahead! 🥂

Lots of love,
Alice 💚

🍂 A little reminder that this Sunday, 27th September, we're welcoming Goodness Gracious Grief back to Heather's Café. 💚

Amisha creates such a lovely, welcoming space for anyone navigating grief, loss or life's many changes. Whether you fancy a chat, need a listening ear, or simply want to sit amongst people who understand, you're very welcome.

As the seasons change and the evenings draw in, it's a lovely opportunity to come together, connect and know you're not alone.

🕚 Sunday 27th September, 11am–1pm
📍 Heather's Café, Cholsey

Please do share with anyone who might benefit from a little company and a safe space to talk. 💚

Quick little lunchtime closure! ❤️

I’ve just had to collect Flo from school as she is, apparently, terribly unwell… so terribly unwell, in fact, that since arriving at the café she’s managed three bowls of ice cream, a jacket potato, some brownie and two Fruit Shoots. 😂

She’s absolutely fine, but she hasn’t been quite herself since yesterday and it feels a bit unfair making her hang around here until 4:30 when she could have a proper break at home.

So we’re going to close for lunch, head home for a little reset, and reopen at 2pm.

So sorry for the faff and thank you, as always, for bearing with the realities of running a café around small people! 💚

Back open at 2pm ☕️🍰

🎈 A very happy 12th birthday to Alfie! 🎈

A little while ago, Alfie came into Heather’s and tried a slice of our Cherry Bakewell Cookie Pie… and apparently it was a BIG hit. 😂❤️

So when his mum got in touch and asked if I could make him a whole one as a surprise for his 12th birthday, of course the answer was yes.

And here she is — one enormous Cherry Bakewell Cookie Pie, made especially for the birthday boy. 🥰🍒

It’s always lovely making cakes and treats for people, but there’s something particularly special about knowing exactly who it’s going to and why.

Happy birthday, Alfie. I hope you have the loveliest day and absolutely demolish your cookie pie. 😂❤️

12 looks good on you! 🎂🍒

💜 ☕️ Blended Wellbeing ladies are already familiar faces around Heather’s, and I’m so pleased that we’re going to be a bit more of a regular haunt for them over the coming months. 🥰

Tracy will be here next Wednesday 23rd September, 11–12:30, for a really relaxed little meet & greet.

So if you’ve seen me sharing Blended Wellbeing recently, or you’ve spotted the ladies having one of their catch-ups here and wondered what it’s all about, this is the perfect chance to pop in, grab a coffee and have a chat with Tracy.

Absolutely no pressure and nothing formal — just a warm welcome, a cuppa and a chance to find out more about a genuinely lovely group doing a really lovely thing. 💜

And apparently if nobody turns up Tracy has threatened to sit and do admin for an hour and a half, which frankly sounds awful, so please come and save her. 😂

Really happy for Heather’s to be a little hub for this wonderful bunch. 💚☕️

🧇 RIGHT. I’VE BEEN PLOTTING AGAIN… 🧇

The old waffles are out. The pancakes are gone. And in their place…

FRESH BELGIAN WAFFLES — COOKED TO ORDER 🤤

Hot, fresh, ridiculously loadable and arriving at Heather’s just in time for autumn. 🍂

1 freshly cooked waffle — £6.50
2 freshly cooked waffles — £8.50

And because choosing is half the fun, ANY 3 toppings are included in the price.

We’re talking strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, chocolate, white chocolate, salted caramel, Biscoff, honeycomb, M&Ms, Biscoff crumb, sprinkles… basically, make good choices or make absolutely appalling ones. I support both.

And if sweet isn't your thing, bacon & maple syrup has entered the chat. 🥓

Available now at Heather’s Café! 🧇

🚨 DIME BAR COOKIE PIE 🚨

Because apparently a normal amount of chocolate simply wasn’t enough.

🍪 Thick, gooey cookie pie
🤍🤎 Swirled white & milk chocolate filling
🍫 Loaded with chunks of Dime Bar
🧂 Finished with a salted caramel buttercream swirl

Crunchy. Caramelly. Chocolatey. Completely unnecessary.

Exactly as cake should be. 😂

Available at Heather’s Café while it lasts — and I’m not making any promises about how long that’ll be 👀

As the evenings start drawing in, this feels like a lovely one to share 💚

We always absolutely love having the Blended Wellbeing ladies at Heather’s — there’s never a shortage of chatting, laughing and putting the world to rights! 😂

It’s such a warm, welcoming group, and if you’ve been thinking you’d like to meet some new people, get out of the house a little more or just find a lovely bunch of women to connect with, have a read of Tracy’s post below.

Definitely worth reaching out if it sounds like your kind of thing 🥰

We’re always very happy to host this wonderful bunch 💚

Hello, I’m Tracy 👋

I am the founder of Blended Wellbeing. A social and wellbeing community for women who want to meet new people, make friends, try new things and simply get more out of life.

Blended Wellbeing started because I kept hearing the same thing from women: life had changed, friendship circles had shifted, children had grown up, work looked different, relationships had changed and suddenly it wasn’t always easy to meet new people.

Not because they were lonely.

Not because anything was “wrong”.

They just wanted more connection, more fun and more people to do things with.

So that’s what we have built.

Coffee mornings, walks, socials, workshops, lunches, evenings out, talks, book clubs, crafts, special events and plenty of laughter along the way. And challenges and adventures ... more on that soon😉

You can come on your own. In fact, lots of women do.

And if you’re thinking, “I’d quite like a bit more of that in my life”… you’d be very welcome. So why not get in touch.

💜 Tracy
Founder, Blended Wellbeing

📣 A little heads-up — Heather’s Café will be closed this Wednesday.

In an impressive feat of appointment Tetris, I’ve managed to get a couple of unavoidable appointments booked on the same day. Attempting to open the café around them would be slightly bonkers, so I’m making the rare sensible decision to close for the day. 😂

Apologies for any inconvenience — I’ll be back open as usual on Thursday. 💚
