Café Bembe Brings New Life to Alexandra Park Pavilion

The much-loved café in the Pavilion has reopened. It is now run by Café Bembe, a small local business as a warm, welcoming space for people to meet, relax and connect.

Our three Councillors, Angeliki Stogia, Aftab Razaq and Muqaddasah Bano have all visited. They said: “Alexandra Park is such a special place, and the reopening of the café makes it even better. It’s great to see people coming back to the café, enjoying the space, and making new memories. Many people have told us how happy they are to see the café open again. It’s a warm, friendly space where families, friends, and neighbours can come together and enjoy great food, pastries and good coffee.” 

The café is open every day except Monday, from 11:00 to 16:00. They plan to start baking their own bread and cakes soon. Pop in soon to experience this fantastic new addition to our community!
