A new family-run cafe serving homemade food will open in a Northumberland town centre this weekend.

Sophie and Ricky Hubber will open Little Hubbs on Priestpopple, in the former Coffee Cup premises next to the old bus station in Hexham town centre.

The premises had been vacant since the Coffee Cup owners retired in 2023.

Sophie said she wanted to take it on because she 'loves a project'.

She added that opening a cafe was something her family had discussed for a while, and they jumped at the chance to take over the premises.

Little Hubbs will bring 'good homemade food' to town, and Sophie added that she has seen a need for a cafe which serves quick lunch meals for people working in the centre of Hexham.

The cafe will be serving fresh breakfasts, deli options, daily specials, and homemade bakes.

"The top end of Hexham needs something for everyone, from kids, adults, the elderly, families and groups to others," she said.

Little Hubbs will offer outside seating.

"At first, we will be open Monday to Saturday from 7am-2pm and eventually open on Sundays. We will be offering roast dinners for takeaway and delivery.

"We will then choose one day to close during the week," she added.

People have been excited to see the cafe once it opens, she said, which will be on Saturday, April 11 from 7am.
