Bonne Esperance "Pop-up" Coffee Shop was born out of a hope to keep all staff employed despite the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the hospitality business. We started with coffee, cake, pastries and quiches but soon the demand grew for our famous hot breakfasts. Come and enjoy a delicious Eggs Benedict in front of a cosy fire during colder days and the best omelet in town on the wrap-around veranda on a sunny day. We look forward to hosting you!
