New independent coffee shop Triple Two opens in Swindon
Swindon’s coffee connoisseurs are celebrating at the news of the opening of a new generation of coffee shop.
Triple Two opened their doors in Swindon town centre last week and have already received a thumbs up from customers.
The contemporary coffee shop, which is situated in The Brunel shopping centre near to Havelock Square, specialises in serving top quality coffee and food freshly made by their own chef on the premises.
David Hodgetts, one of the co-founders of Triple Two, said he was delighted with the reaction of customers already. David said: “It’s going really well; those that have tried our coffee are telling us it’s the best they have ever had and we’re getting some great reviews on social media, so hopefully the word of our arrival and what we stand for will spread quickly.
David set up Triple Two because he believes that Swindon needs a good quality coffee shop. “As a regular coffee drinker I was increasingly tired of drinking an average cup of coffee from the likes of the big high street coffee chains and then having to deal with their lack of quality food on offer” said David.
“The UK coffee market has become flooded, but flooded with brands providing an interpretation of what a real experience should be. We are independent, there’s just a few of us running the business, but we have done our research thoroughly and we know that the people of Swindon will welcome our different approach. Not only is our coffee excellent quality but we make sure it’s always extremely well made. Our food is first class too. We have our own chef who is based on the premises. Our bacon comes from Butts Farm just down the road in South Cerney and Butts farm are also supplying our very own brand of sausages made just for us. We open at 7am and serve all of our food throughout the day.”
Railway heritage
“The name ‘Triple Two Coffee’ was chosen because of Swindon’s railway heritage”, said David. “Isambard Kingdom Brunel purchased 16 of the first 17 steam engines and they were named 222 so we decided to adopt it to connect our new brand with the town in which it was founded”.
