Two coffee shops in Wrexham city centre have been featured in the first all Wales edition of the Indy Coffee Guide.

Guide publishers, Salt Media, are assisted by a group of leading coffee experts across the country to seek out the best places to service your caffeine needs and all of the hidden gems.

The Indy Coffee Guide is first in the Indy Coffee Guide series to exclusively feature independent Welsh coffee shops, cafes, roasteries and trainers.

It showcases 60 outstanding indie businesses across Wales – including popular Wrexham venues, Bank Street Social and Tabernacl.

Bank Street Social, run by brothers Andy and Phil Gallanders has previously featured in previous interactions of the guide whilst Tabernacl, situated in the former Burtons building are making their first appearance in the guide.

Speaking on behalf of Bank Street Social, Phil Gallanders said, “It’s an honour to be included again in the Indy Coffee Guide and it’s incredible that the publishers have decided to do an all Wales guide.

“It’s no secret that Wrexham has well and truly been put on the map with everything that is happening at the football club and from being in past guides we know that people will visit the shop purely because it is in the guide.

“It’s nice to think that we are doing our bit to promote Wrexham to the ever growing specialty coffee community.

“It’s also a pleasure to have the company of Tabernacl who only opened their doors just over a year ago.

“The growing number of really good coffee shops in Wrexham is really exciting.”

There is also a highly recommended mention for Wrexham Bean Company in the “Other good Roastaries section” of the guide which was launched at Hardlines Coffee in Cardiff on Friday 13 October.

Both Bank Street Social and Tabernacl are hoping to team up in order to celebrate the inclusion in the guide with a Wrexham launch event early in November – so keep an eye on both their social media feeds for news of that event!
