Our team
Su-Ling
A Francophile, passionate about good food & Ipswich, Su-Ling came across this shop by happy accident. She develops the food menu and runs the Social Enterprise aspect of the café, The Green Room presents... She hopes to encourage other local residents to start new ventures by offering the café space as a trial venue.
Hayley
Having managed Nobu Restaurants in London and set up the Learning and Development department for Orient-Express Trains and Cruises, Hayley knows a thing or two about excellence in customer service. She keeps us all in line behind the scenes and ensures we keep up our 5* Food Safety rating
Naomi
An excellent barista with a passion for vegan and gluten free baking, Naomi is our master baker, developing new seasonal recipes as well as producing timeless classics. She is also known as Wayward Bakes with her own market stall at the monthly Old Jet market
Marcus
As our Head of Coffee, Marcus loves everything about it; from brewing and roasting techniques to competing in latte art 'throwdowns'. With a remit to develop our coffee offering and expertise, watch this space!
Mandy
When the doors close, we're still here preparing for the next day.... Critical to this process is our former 60's fashion model, foundry worker, civil servant and head chef, Mandy Mops. She brings us smiles, stories and sparkly floors.
Abby
We are delighted to announce the arrival of our newest team member! Certainly no newcomer to the world of coffee... I'm sure many of you will recognise Abby as the founder of the much missed Snobs Café in town. Need we say more?!
Our team - Events
Anna
Anna, who needs no introduction, was the tour de force behind La Tour Cycle and community café on the waterfront, now sadly closed. Anna has been at the heart of the Ipswich community since starting La Tour Cycle café , initially in Tower House, over four years ago and we are delighted to have her on the team. She joins us in the capacity of Events Organiser Extraordinaire, so look out for an exciting and varied programme of evening & week-end events.
If you have an event in mind: corporate, interest group or private, Anna will be delighted to help.
