A local coffee business is reaching new heights as it opens its first coffee shop in Emsworth.

Roxie Tricker from Horndean, is known for My Little Coffee Co, which became an instant success after starting out at South Lane Meadow, Clanfield in 2023.

Fast forward to now, South Street Coffee Co is the newest adventure, demonstrating the success and popularity of the business.

“I can't thank enough the people who support me because otherwise we wouldn't be growing as we are,” Roxie told the Petersfield Post.

“It is a big step going from the van to a coffee shop, but I just wanted to take that next step to bring my coffee into Emsworth.

“A lot of the locals are quite pleased and my customers from the meadow have told me they will come over.”

Prior to opening, Roxie held a series of sneak peak events and the feedback was positive, with many locals glad to see the space brought back to life.

The past few years, the former barber was empty and run down, but it has now been given the ultimate revamp thanks to the work of Roxie’s husband Scott.

There are also touches that pay tribute to the town, Roxie explained: “There is an old paper that was found in the depths of layers of walls, it is 1919, so it goes right back.

“We've tried to keep some of the heritage in it, and local artist Trevor Smith has painted a couple of the pictures in here that you can also buy from him.”

Roxie hopes that the shop will help promote and support local businesses, with coffee beans from Winchester Coffee Roasters that supplies the van and seasonal cakes from Cakesmiths.
