More than Coffee
More Than Coffee & Chocolate Shop was established in 1999. We initially opened the shop with the intention of selling chocolate, coffee, tea and fine confectionery but gradually, demand for hot drinks grew and so we opened the Coffee Bar in the rear of the shop. More Than Coffee & Chocolate Shop partners, Sarah & John, started to create a successful business that catered for the people of Fleet in Hampshire and surrounding areas.
