Atria Watford has a new café, offering customers another spot to take a break during their shopping trips.

Black Sheep Coffee finally opened at 8am yesterday (November 12) after “coming soon” hoarding first appeared in the shopping centre near the beginning of the year.

A busy opening day attracted lots of customers, with a £1 coffee offer available on its speciality 100 per cent robusta blend for that day only.

Black Sheep Coffee Company was founded by Gabriel Shohet and Eirik Holth in 2013 and now operates more than 80 branches across the UK.

It will be open from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 5.30pm on Sunday.
