The United Kingdom is witnessing a new wave of cafes run as social enterprises. Cafes-with-a-conscience or a cause. A Bristol café is promoting multiculturalism post-Brexit. You can drink an artisan coffee in east or south London at Brewbird, which trains ex-offenders in barista and baking skills, or at the Square Peg in Swansea, where profits are given to charities, or buy a “suspended coffee” to be given for free to a homeless person, at The Lodge Cafe in Chester. These cafes are breaking down barriers, a must in society, not just in the U.K.
