Brewing Community Connections: Our Favourite Charnwood Villages' Coffee and Cakes
At Reed & Baum Estate Agents, we believe in not only helping people buy and sell their homes but also in supporting our local fellow business owners.
One way we do this is by celebrating our shared love for coffee, cake and a little lunch by indulging at least once a week and using this as our weekly meeting time!!
Throughout the Charnwood villages, we are fortunate to be surrounded by charming cafes that offer a delightful variety of breakfasts fit for royalty, afternoon teas perfect for queens, and quick coffee fixes for those on the go. In the spirit of supporting local businesses, we're excited to share some of our favourite spots with you…

Pretzels Deli; Our recommendation, a ploughman’s lunch…super yummy and a cappuccino to wash it down.
