"I've put so much work into this and been here day and night for the last four weeks. 

"This has been a year in the making, as I flew to Thailand a year ago at the start of November, where I was first inspired to open my own cafe.

"I feel very ready to be open and serving people."

ORA was inspired by a cafe Milly visited in Thailand (Image: Emily-Rose Thompson) The cafe sells a range of acai bowls, with a build-your-own option for those who want to pick and choose their toppings. 

There is also a range of protein shakes, teas and coffees - including matcha - and toasties. 

The acai comes directly from Brazil.

"I've spent the past year travelling around the UK trying to source the best products.
