Like cake? Like coffee or tea that's so good you sigh with happiness and then close your eyes when you're drinking it?

Date for your diary - Sunday 2nd March 2025 3.30-5.30pm, The Haven Cafe.

When I was going through treatment, waiting for results, surgeries and everything that came along with my breast cancer, there were days when it just wasn't going well. On those days in particular, I would head along to The Haven Cafe.

Its familiar vibe and the breathing space it gave me was just what I needed. My usual wee seat at the window always seemed to be free as if it knew I needed to forget things for a while. The staff banter, delicious home-made cakes and incredible coffee kept me going. Thank you Nat and all the staff for looking after me.

I am delighted to share that I've teamed up with the incredible folk at The Haven Cafe for a fund raising afternoon filled with tea, coffee and cake, to raise funds for Breast Friends and Family.

I wanted to show my appreciation for all the help, support and advice they provide. Everything for those with/who've had breast cancer from fitness advice to dietary information to relaxation techniques and much more, their speakers, staff and volunteers are incredible.

FYI - The Haven Cafe, 9 Anchorfield, Newhaven, Edinburgh, EH6 4JG is opposite the Newhaven tram stop and on bus routes too. It is painted pale green and has a colourful mural on one outside wall.

Suggested donation of £10 per person 🙂.

For those coming along I'll be there to greet you and check you off the list of awesome attendees. You'll then receive a voucher that entitles you to one hot/cold drink and one slice of cake. Hand these over to the Haven staff, select your drink and cake of choice and grab a seat or ask for the takeaway option.

They're not on Facebook so here's The Haven's Instagram link to see their baked creations! https://www.instagram.com/thehavencafe?igsh=MWZua2xqemE3ZXE4cQ==
