1650 COFFEE CO TO OPEN NEW ARTISAN COFFEE HOUSE AT STATION HILL

Station Hill is delighted to announce the opening of 1650 Coffee Co — an independent artisan coffee house founded by the former owner of Café Yolk — joining Reading’s trendy and exciting new destination.

Located on the ground floor of Ebb& Flow, with access from the public realm on Friars Walk, 1650 Coffee Co will offer an exceptional hand-crafted coffee experience, complemented by a selection of freshly baked pastries and artisan sandwiches.

The new café will sit alongside local favourites such as Siren Craft Brew and Angelo’s amongst others, establishing Station Hill as the vibrant community destination where visitors can relax, connect, and enjoy high-quality independent offerings.

It’s another exciting step in shaping Station Hill into a thriving destination for work, life and leisure.”

“I’m incredibly excited to introduce 1650 Coffee Co to Station Hill and to become part of this growing community. Having spent the last decade perfecting great coffee and food, I’ve always believed that coffee has the power to bring people together. At 1650 Coffee Co, we’ll also be showcasing locally produced artisan products, supporting the talented creators and makers within our community.”
