ABOUT US

At Woodchats, we provide a warm and friendly welcome, a great atmosphere, together with fabulous coffee and delicious homemade cakes, treats and freshly made sandwiches/toasties.

We opened our doors in June 2012 and have built up a really loyal customer base. Our customers have literally made friends within the shop!

Our location is perfect for those using public transport. We are also buggy and wheelchair friendly with two level entrances and plenty of space inside to manoeuvre.

Tea & Coffee


Our coffee is roasted and supplied by Exchange Coffee in Blackburn. We use their GTA Award winning Espresso Creama to brew our espressos, cappuccinos, lattes and americanos. We also have great filter coffee for those in a rush.

Our coffee is made to your taste, if you prefer it strong just ask for an extra shot at no cost. If you prefer it weaker, ask for half a shot. You can also personalise your coffee with one of our range of Monin syrups.

Our tea is freshly brewed in a pot and served with vintage china cups and saucers.

Cakes & Sweets


All our cakes, cookies, tray bakes and cheesecakes are made daily on the premises in our little kitchen. All of these are available to eat in the shop or to take away. Cakes and cookies can also be ordered for special occasions.
