A new coffee shop is opening in Cwmbran on Monday 6 June 2016.

H and El’s Coffee Shop is in Cwmbran Christian Centre, on Grange Industrial Estate off Llanfrechfa Way.

Lisa Phillips-White has named the shop in memory of her late parents who opened Cwmbran Christian Centre 20 years ago and moved to this building 13 years ago.


She said: “Cwmbran Christian Centre was a church, coffee shop and registered charity. The coffee shop closed as my mother needed nursing after a ten year battle with cancer. Sadly she passed away five years ago and the charity was reorganised.
“After losing my father last January to a major heart attack I took over his role as the charity’s director. The building was on the market for three years with no success of selling so my husband and myself decided the building should be reopened and become a thriving meeting place once again and raise much-needed funding for local community projects and humanitarian aid which my parents had a heart for.”

“I’ve used the money they left me to refurbish the old coffee shop and kitchen to reopen and use the building for community-based projects.
“It’s a non profit organisation. Everyone who works here is a volunteer. All the money raised will be put to good use. We have also joined forces with other local organisations to make use of the building space.  We are also looking into a food bank, soup kitchen and hamper help (food, toiletries and toy hampers for families in need). There is a lot going on to keep us busy.
“We are doing cooked breakfasts, rolls and the like until 11.30am and then we will have a home-cooked meal, sandwiches and cakes. We also do teas, coffees and soft drinks.”
