Coffesmiths opens cafe in Attleborough's former post office

After starting in a converted horsebox, Coffeesmiths has officially opened its second permanent shop in the old post office in Attleborough.

Arron Smith, 33, started the business in 2021 serving hot drinks out of a trailer to local markets around his hometown of Wymondham.
