Public votes Ruthin garden centre cafe as best in Wales

Seven Oaks Garden Centre at Ruthin has been named Garden Centre Café of the Year in the 2019 Welsh Café Awards.

 

An elegant ceremony at the Exchange Hotel Cardiff saw top baristas, coffee specialists and representatives of local cafes gather to honour the art of making good coffee.

 

The awards were run by by Creative Oceanic but voted for by the Welsh public.

 

A spokesperson for the Welsh Café Awards 2019 said: “Coffee is the most popular drink worldwide and the trade values billions of pounds. According to Roast and Post, £1bn was spent on coffee only in Britain last year.

 

“As a result, the Welsh Café industry has seen a massive growth over the past few years with many new coffee shops entering the sector, increasing the competition.

 

Seven Oaks Garden Centre was purchased by Ian Forsyth in 2001 and has since grown steadily in size and popularity. The café was built in 2014 and is famed for its blueberry and lemon scones.
