our STORY
SmallTown is a friends-owned cafe and bakery, brought about in 2021 by childhood buddy’s, Ben and Ed, who share a love of good coffee and good bread. Living close by to their childhood homes in lockdown led to the joint realisation that small towns often seemed to be deprived of great places to grab a coffee, a loaf of bread and somewhere to gather.
Fast forward to 2025, and our original cafe in Clare (Suffolk’s smallest town), is a key part of the community. Locals and visitors alike gather knowing they can get exceptionally brewed coffee, freshly baked sourdough and pastries on a daily basis. And this is our aim, pure and simple. To provide you with a few of life’s simplest pleasures - very, very well.
