In today’s episode, we continue our St Stephen Street Series with Lovecrumbs, or Mini Lovecrumbs as their shop at number 22 is known. Mini Lovecrumbs offers a cosy nook on the street to escape into a large slice of cake and a cracking cup of coffee.
We chat to founder Hollie, about their story so far, the importance of coffee shops in a community, and about how resilient she’s been in overcoming the many challenges that 2020 continues to throw at small business.
