Well, what a start to the month! The Lionesses brought it home—again—with a nail-biting penalty shootout win over Spain in the Euros final last Sunday. 🏆 Chloe Kelly kept her cool, converted the decider, and made history. First England team to win a major tournament on foreign soil. First to retain the trophy. First to make us all cry into our tea (again).
Was there a bank holiday?
No.
Should there have been?
Absolutely.
But we’re not bitter. We’re just eating cake. A lot of it.
Meanwhile, it’s August, which means:
🕶️ Half your friends are in Ibiza (hello, Radio 1), pretending they love techno.
🎭 The rest are at the Edinburgh Fringe, watching a man juggle traffic cones while quoting Shakespeare.
☕ And you? You’re doing it right: you’re at St John’s Coffee Shop, plotting your next move over a brew and a slice.
Here’s what’s waiting for you this week:
🍫 Bee’s chocolate cake – Deep, rich, and dependable. Basically the Lucy Bronze of cakes.
🍋 Jackie’s lemon drizzle – Bright and zippy. As refreshing as that first cold drink after walking through a heatwave in jeans.
☕️ Jackie’s coffee & walnut cake – For when you need caffeine, cake, and comfort—ideally all at once.
🥕 Nicki’s carrot cake – Lightly spiced and seriously good. A reliable all-rounder with star power.
🍒 Nicki’s bakewell loaf – Like a Bakewell tart, but loafier. Cherry on top. Vibes immaculate.
🍪 Sarah’s almond cookies – Crunchy, nutty, and perfect for covert pocket-snacking. Take two. No one’s looking.
🍫 Sarah’s black forest loaf – Deep, dark, and dramatic. Fringe-theatre levels of intensity.
🍰 Sue’s Victoria sponge – Classic. Reliable. Shows up every week and never lets us down. The Mary Berry of the menu.
So whether you’re celebrating England’s big win, plotting a late escape to the Med, or just trying to survive August with your dignity intact—come join us for a slice of something spectacular.
No suncream required. Just bring your appetite.
