Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Everything about Dukes makes me want to smile - actually everything about Dukes does make me smile…classic period building, decorative metal signage, green frontage, incredible fit out, menu board, and as for those decorative floor tiles. Oh and did I mention the coffee? In a city that prides itself on good coffee, it's at the top of its game, with early morning punters prepared to queue down the street for a possible 15 minutes just to get their hands on some.
As if a gorgeous space made from reclaimed timber and recycled tiles, and fabulous coffee isn't enough, At Duke's the coffee is organic where possible, ethically traded and sourced, and traceable down to farm level. They participate in the 1% For The Planet, whereby they pledge 1% of annual sales to the preservation of our natural environment. And they are committed to minimising waste, using a commercial food dehydrator to turn leftover food waste and coffee grounds into soil.
Dukes. The complete package. Ahhhhh yes Dukes brings joy.
