Coffee Trial ☕️

We're going to be running a trial of a new coffee over the next 2 weekends ☕️. Ferrario is hand-roasted locally by husband & wife team, Adrian & Erika. Erika is a midwife and the couple set up their business as a way of helping to improve outcomes during births in remote communities. A donation is made to The Beautiful Births Foundation with every sale, to deliver training to Traditional Birth Attendants to support safer births.

We will be trialling Ferrario's 'Beautiful Blend', a mix of beans from Uganda and Honduras. Tasting notes : From the lush highlands of Honduras comes a smooth base: creamy caramel, gentle milk-chocolate sweetness, and soft citrus brightness. The Uganda beans bring boldness and depth: rich dark-berry fruit, a hint of black tea, and a clean, lingering cocoa finish. Together, this blend is both comforting and vibrant.

If you have a coffee during the trial, please let us know what you think as we are considering switching to Ferrario for our regular supply.

[The trial will only cover caffeinated coffee, but if we go ahead with Ferrario as a regular supplier, we will be able to source decaffeinated coffee from them as well. ]

So Carole from Idlewild Café is open today at Maple Maple Strawberry… I popped in and grabbed myself a bowl of the mango salad on my way to see a postnatal family…

I wish I could show you the salad but it was too good!!

If you’re in the area pop in today and try it!!! 🥗🥭😋

It's been a busy weekend so far at Idlewild 😁🌞. I've had to restock most things, including making another Rasmalai Tres Leches cake, as it completely sold out yesterday. As you can see, I've already sold a piece this morning before I even managed to take a photo 😆. This is an almond sponge soaked with saffron- and cardamom-infused coconut & nut milk and topped with coconut cream and pistachios 😋😋😋.

Did you know that our whole menu is available for takeaway as well as eating in? This means that you can get all the benefits of home-cooked food made with fresh ingredients, without any of the hassle …. why not take a portion of something tasty home with you to eat the following day? - a salad box to have for lunch, or something to heat up for dinner, perhaps. And, whilst I do make use of the freezer from time-to-time, most of our food has not been frozen, so you can also freeze it at home to save it for a later date (just check in first to make sure). 🍽️🌱
