Who we are
We are part of the charity Embrace Wigan and Leigh. Therefore, every time you dine with us, you will help our work with local disabled people.
Our aim is to bring people together by offering warm comforting food, delicious cake and high quality coffee.
It is not just our food that sets us apart, we pride ourselves on having the friendliest team in the borough. We are always available to chat, laugh and offer some company if you need it. Many of our staff are local disabled people who are spending time with us to develop their own skills, before embarking on a career in hospitality.
We are more than just a café, every day we have activities and sessions you can get involved in. Why not pop down on a Wednesday afternoon and show-off your artistic side or join us Tuesday to develop your passion for cooking! Or simply take a seat, grab a drink and enjoy a book from our well-stocked book-exchange.
Take some time to look through our Embrace website and learn more about us. Better still pop in and join us for a coffee and we can tell you ourselves!
What we do
Barista Coffee & Teas
Our barista coffee is pure 100% Arabica coffee is entirely picked by hand.
This blend contains only the finest grade 1 arabica coffee beans from Brazil, Nicaragua, Mexico, Guatemala and Ethiopia, for an intense flavour with body and fruity notes.
Arabica beans are grown more than 1,600 metres above sea level, with the higher altitude and lower oxygen levels resulting in slower growth and more concentrated flavours.
Community Hub
Or café is a hub for people in our community, we have lots of things happening each day so why not pop down and connect with others?
Lunch
We offer a selection of cakes, sandwiches and breakfast throughout the day. Veggie or vegan options also available.
