A new coffee shop in a former mill building on the banks of the River Waveney has been "overwhelmed" by customers since it opened.

The Etude Coffee shop at The Silo, near Bungay, opened its doors on Friday, July 7.

"On the first weekend there was a queue of people outside as we opened", said Amir Montazer, founder of Etude Coffee.

Co-owner Alex Hammond, said: "We've been overwhelmed with the support we've had, with people coming from far and wide to try out Etude's specialty coffee by the riverside.

"In particular, lots of cyclists have stopped off for refreshments and cakes during their weekend rides, which is great because we are really keen to encourage car-free travel."

On sunny and fine days the coffee shop plans to set out extra seating beside the river. 

A local DJ, Soundwax, positioned himself next to the coffee roaster to entertain visitors with some chilled beats on the first Sunday.

The historic mill, where the business operates, took just 10 days to build back in 1958.
