Laynes Espresso launches 'click and collect' coffees with grocery delivery service

The much-loved coffee shop on New Station Street had closed its doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But following "a lot of thinking and decision making" from the team, the espresso bar has relaunched as a 'click and collect' and delivery grocery store service.

Customers can order bakery items, cupboard essentials, coffee beans, flowers, soft drinks and vegan goods from the online store, for collection or delivery.

Coffee-lovers will be thrilled to learn that Laynes' famous coffees are also available for collection-only, with customers being handed their order outside the store where they are expected to stick to social distancing rules.

From 9am to 3pm on Wednesday to Saturday, you can now order an Americano, espresso, cappuccino, flat white, latte, iced latte or mocha by ordering online or just turning up.

A message from owner Dave Olejnik the site's website reads: "To say these are some challenging times is no understatement and we are all feeling it in some way.

"Laynes has been around nearly a decade and I now find myself working out how to completely flip the business model to ensure that it/we survive.

"A lot of thinking and decision making has been going on since March 16...it’s been exhausting.

"I’ve arrived at the decision to utilise Laynes’ location and supplier list to offer a ‘click and collect’ and delivery grocery store service.

"Right now, Laynes is a fancy warehouse with a posh coffee machine in it. One day we'll hopefully fill it back up with hungry folk again, I'm sure."

Laynes Espresso's online store is available at www.laynesespresso.co.uk.
