10. The Loft Cafe & Lounge Bar
The Loft Cafe & Lounge Bar, in High Street, Moulton, first opened to the public in December last year. It was set up by a mother and son duo, who took a chance on this new venture and have not looked back since. They serve breakfast, light lunches, afternoon tea and a selection of homemade cakes, alongside a variety of drinks. Photo: The Loft Cafe & Lounge Bar

11. No. 68 Coffee House
No. 68 Coffee House, in King Edward Road, has now been open for more than a year – with the aim of selling great coffee and cakes. The venue has spent time getting to know the needs of the Abington community and has continued to grow in popularity after introducing a food menu earlier this year. Photo: No. 68 Coffee House
