Kin + Ilk has come to town with a fourth caf\u00e9 bar and it\u2019s opened on St. Mary Street just in time for Christmas<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kin + Ilk’s St. David’s pop-up is in a busy spot right opposite Shake Shack<\/p><\/div>\n

Kin + Ilk has moved into the heart of the city this November as St. Mary Street welcomes the caf\u00e9 bar group to High Street Arcade. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since 5 November, the space\u00a0is the fourth for the company and has taken over from the previous establishment, Corner Coffee<\/a>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kin + Ilk currently has a pop-up in St. David\u2019s shopping centre and will be offering speciality coffee from both of these new Cardiff centre sites until 3 January when the pop-up is due to end. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking further into 2019, Kin + Ilk will have three locations across the city but is not ruling out the possibility of a permanent branch within St. David\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking to potentially open one in St. Davids depending on how this [pop-up] goes,\u201d said commercial director Haydn Darke.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for St. Mary Street, he said that towards the castle end the street is becoming a hub for independent business.<\/span><\/p>\n

The match days have a \u201chuge effect\u201d\u00a0on the street and there are offices in the area, he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThere\u2019s tonnes going on in the town centre and we wanted to be part of that.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the next few months Kin + Ilk will be maintaining the Corner Coffee brand on St. Mary Street and are keeping on all of former owner Chris Corner\u2019s staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working very closely with its Bristol Clifton roasters, specialty coffee is central to Kin + Ilk and was influential in the company\u2019s decision to take over Corner. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of their branding, the general vibe, the guys that work there and the coffees they offer, they\u2019re very in line with what we already do,\u201d said Haydn. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a really exciting opportunity to work with them, he said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Former owner Chris, 38, made the decision to sell for family reasons. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSeventy to eighty hour weeks aren\u2019t really a good idea when you\u2019ve got a little baby,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n
