Is that a little or a lot for a cafe in the market? We seem to have no lack of cafes around the place.

The Coffee Hut (formerly the Dough Hut) in Douglas Community Park is closing.

They always seem to have rotton luck with weather, often having to close early or not even open at all. I don't know how it was ever viable as a business model, there can't have been any money in it.

Happy memories of going there when I lived in the area.

Regarding the question above about the English Market, I really don't know. I'd always just assumed that the council owns all the stalls and leases them out? I was surprised to see one coming up for sale, and I can't remember it happening before

They rented a unit in the shopping centre for a while.. I think it was a way to try and get around that pesky weather.
Sadly, didn't last too long though.

Sad to see the hut itself about to close.

The writing was on the wall when Bean & Leaf opened across the road.

Surprised it lasted this long tbh

I'd say even Bean and Leaf must be a bit worried to be operating in such close proximity to Douglas's top cafe, the South County, which serves hot drinks, breakfast, and scones - seven days a week

Don't steal the business idea but I've plans to open a Pink Shorts and Boat Shoes Pop-Up next door come spring.

Asking for a friend.
