New opening of the Coffee-Shop „No1“ in Baie Ste Anne on Praslin

Peter and Shirley talk about their food and drink menu and say that they want to keep it relatively simple, like a traditional coffee house with a few local delicacies. They explain that "the most important ingredient of any coffeehouse is coffee, and that's why we like to think that we have chosen a renowned and high-quality brand, Nespresso". The outlet also offers a range of other coffees, iced coffee, vegetable dairy products as a non-dairy equivalent and the possibility of adding various syrups to your coffee.

A selection of other drinks such as smoothies, milkshakes and ice citronelle is also available.
Every day we have a fresh juice of the day and papaya seems to be a favourite. Shirley has also introduced a detoxification water consisting of lemon, cucumber, ginger and mint. The local ladies love it," says Peter.
For dinner, the café typically serves sandwiches, paninis, burgers and cakes. For the health-conscious market there are also salads such as quinoa and bulgur wheat, as well as the more traditional salads such as tuna niçoise, chicken and the local favourite, smoked fish and mango. For those with a sweet tooth, No1 Baie Ste Anne offers a selection of local specialties such as Lapatsek ", Mafelisi" and coconut cake, but also shortbreads, brownies and flapjacks.

When asked what inspired her to open a café, Peter says that "much of the inspiration behind it is that my mother, Jenny Pomeroy, owns a well-known bakery called 'Jenny's Bakery' which she has run for over 30 years. The bakery is in the same premises as the café and before that she had a small and simple pastry shop in the same complex where she would sell her products. The pastry shop was already well known and well attended, but it was far from being a coffee house. My wife and I decided that we would go a step further and do it on a much larger scale, now that my mother was retiring or so I hope!
