Booming shopping centre welcomes new boujee cafe bar

A new boujee cafe bar is set to open at a booming Stoke-on-Trent shopping Centre today. Kiln at Number 12 is the latest tenant to take on an empty unit at the Longton Exchange.

It boasts a trendy industrial interior with wood and metal fixtures to create a ‘vibrant, relaxing space’. The name Kiln is also a nod to Stoke-on-Trent’s ceramics industry.

Shoppers will be able to enjoy a range of artisan coffees, cakes and meals served on Denby crockery from 10am today (July 11).

The venue is also set to be open in the evenings with music nights and quiz evenings. There is also a creative pottery workshop upstairs.

“Their unique offering and community focus perfectly align with our vision of creating a vibrant and engaging shopping experience. We look forward to seeing Kiln thrive and contribute to the dynamic environment here at Longton Exchange.”
