This popular city centre caf\u00e9 beat the competition as the judges’ cup of tea<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as independent caf\u00e9s go, Milk & Sugar<\/a> has been voted the cream of the crop in the recent Good Food Awards 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located on Windsor Place in the city centre, the small business sits just a short walk from big name brands like Starbucks, Costa and Caff\u00e9 Nero, but still manages to hold its own. <\/span><\/p>\n

Its success is due in no small part to owner Tim Corrigan, 47, whose passion shows through aspects of his business. \u201cWe stick to what we believe in and always try and go above and beyond,\u201d he says, \u201cBut we\u2019re all just trying to survive, even some of these global companies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

It is undoubtedly Tim\u2019s dedication to detail, quality and customer service that has earned the caf\u00e9 its five star rating on TripAdvisor<\/a>. As of 2015, the company has\u00a0spread across\u00a0three locations and is quickly becoming a must-visit destination for food lovers far and wide. <\/span><\/p>\n

One customer on the popular travel site<\/a> wrote: \u201c<\/span>The food is amazing quality and the staff are so friendly and welcoming, would recommend to anyone,<\/span>\u201d while another says: \u201c<\/span>Definitely better than spending your money in a chain shop.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite this, Tim says that winning the Good Food Award<\/a> came out of nowhere for the business: \u201cIt was a really nice surprise, because it means that someone has taken the time to look around and thinks that you are worthy of an award.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

The owner, originally from Singapore, certainly has a shrewd business head on his shoulders and knows that such an award can pile on the pressure to perform \u2013 but he doesn\u2019t seem to be too worried about the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I come into the shop, I just spend the day talking and laughing with customers,\u201d he explains. \u201cIf you\u2019re doing whatever it is you enjoy, the success will come from that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
