After 4 incredible years, it’s time to say goodbye to No9 🤍
What started as just a café became so much more than I ever imagined. It became a ritual and daily routine for so many of you, a space where people can connect, share energy, and be part of a community I’m so proud of. We started with just one VIP loyalty card on the wall, and I’m walking away with hundreds, something I will always be proud of.
To my amazing chefs, thank you for your loyalty and the incredible food you created day in and day out. To all my staff, thank you for always showing up for our customers with care and consistency. To our amazing baristas, and especially my head barista Kelvin, thank you for your support and for delivering the kind of coffee that kept people coming back. I know you will continue to do me proud.
To every single person who walked through our doors, supported us, shared a coffee, or simply followed along the journey, thank you. You were the heart and soul of No9, and I’ll forever be grateful for the love you showed us.
I’m so proud of what I created and what I leave behind for the new owner. No9, meet David. David, meet No9. 🤝 I know this place will continue to thrive and remain one of the best, and I can’t wait to see all the exciting new things to come.
A special thank you to my mentor, my father, for always pushing me through the challenges of running my own business. To my biggest supporter, my mum, for never allowing me to give up. And to my angel El, for stepping in and taking the lead when I couldn’t. My partner Billy, thank you for being my constant support, and for always pushing me to take No9 to the next level and grow it into what it became.
This chapter has been one of the most special of my life. Whilst this goodbye is emotional, I am so deeply grateful for every moment, every lesson, and every person who was part of this journey. It marks the end of an era, one I will forever cherish, and the beginning of an exciting new chapter for my little family.
No9 will always hold a special place in my heart 🤍 I know she’ll spread her wings and continue to grow into something amazing. ☕️ 🍝 ♥️
