Bentley’s Coffee Shop was created due to a desire to provide a listening ear, a comfy spot and tasty food.

Bentley’s coffee is great, its tea is comforting and its suppliers are local, and that will never change.

Catch up with friends, read a book, do some work or simply grab a brew.

The chain also has cafes across the North East and Yorkshire – and says it has a “desire to provide a listening ear, a comfy spot and tasty food”.
