It might feel like only yesterday that the uber-cool Espresso Library opened its doors on East Road, but it’s actually been five years this month. In that time, along with selling more than half a million cups of its speciality coffee, it’s earned a special place in the hearts of many Cambridge folk for its love of cycling, caffeinated treats, art exhibitions and delicious, nourishing food.
“The past five years have been rather eventful,” comments John William Gull, founder and managing director. “Who knows what the world has in store for us in the next five? Espresso Library has definitely caused some sleepless nights, but it’s all worth it every time somebody says something lovely about it – it fills me with pride. I look forward to taking EL into the future. Who knows, maybe one day there will be an EL2!” To celebrate its fifth anniversary, the cafe is running a special giveaway on 9 February – follow @espressolibrary on Instagram for details.
