SmallTown has opened a new café at Canmoor’s Accelerator Park in Sawston, South Cambridgeshire.
Local occupier SmallTown, which has their bakery business located within Accelerator Park, has this week opened the doors to their second café, located in Ashwell Point at the front of the established business park.
The business, founded by lifelong friends Ben and Ed, started in Clare - the ‘smallest town in Suffolk’. Quickly outgrowing their two previous units, SmallTown moved their commercial bakery to Accelerator Park in 2023 and are delighted to be opening their second café bringing their quality bakes and coffees to the Sawston community.
Ed says: “We are absolutely thrilled to be able to open at Accelerator Park, catering for both those who work on site, and those who live in the Sawston area and beyond. We think the community here is very special and we look forward to being a place to gather and grab a coffee or lunch.”
“The SmallTown Café at Ashwell Point, we hope, will be a place to gather with friends, family and colleagues. We will be serving freshly made pastries, sourdough and coffee everyday as well as breakfast and lunch offerings freshly made in the cafe kitchen.”
The business’s future plans are to bring a few more SmallTown cafes/bakeries to small towns and business parks around the local area. Ed adds: “Serving simple, high-quality produce day in day out to the local community is what makes us happy, and we hope it makes our customers happy too.”
Sam Walker, Director of Canmoor, says: “Having acquired the wider site in 2023, we have been working closely with existing and new occupiers to bring this park to life, and are delighted to have teamed up with SmallTown to bring their exceptional products to the occupiers on the park as well as a community hub for workers and local residents.
“The surrounding area is under-going significant rejuvenation - we are well underway with Phase 2 of development at Accelerator Park which will provide three new R&D/ life science building which will be completed in Q2’25, South Cambridge Science Centre is being built next door and the new Cambridge City Football Club ground is shortly to become operational.”
