NG Chartered Surveyors brings specialty coffee operator to Mapperley

NG Chartered Surveyors has completed a letting on Woodborough Road in Mapperley to an expanding independent specialty coffee operator.

Commune Coffee has opened in the Nottingham suburb, serving specialty coffee and freshly baked goods, with plans to introduce a simple brunch menu as the business becomes established.

The letting was handled by Alicia Lewis of NG Chartered Surveyors.

Luke from Commune Coffee said: “We believe there’s a real gap on Woodborough Road that Commune Coffee can help fill. We’re excited to bring our experience and passion for specialty coffee, community and hospitality to the area, creating a space for coffee lovers while also being somewhere that feels welcoming and familiar, a place people can genuinely call home.

“For us, hospitality goes beyond serving a good coffee or a great pastry. It’s ultimately about people, and we want Commune to be a place where people feel welcomed, connected and part of the community.

“We already have experience across both catering and coffee businesses, with two successful shops currently open, so we’re really excited to bring what we do to a new area and become part of the Mapperley community.”

Luke also praised Alicia for helping guide the business through the letting process.

He added: “Alicia was responsive, helpful and clear throughout the whole process. She was kind enough to meet with us at the shop multiple times, which gave us the opportunity to look around properly and get a much better understanding of the property and the leasing process.

“She was helpful and concise with all of our questions, always responding in a timely manner, and it was clear that she was on top of everything throughout the process. A big thank you to Alicia for making the whole experience feel smooth and straightforward for us.”

Alicia said: “Commune Coffee is a fantastic addition to Woodborough Road and it’s always particularly rewarding to help an independent business secure the right premises for the next stage of its growth.

“Mapperley has a strong local community and a busy mix of independent and established businesses, so Commune’s focus on quality coffee, hospitality and creating a welcoming neighbourhood venue should be a great fit.

“It was a pleasure working with Luke and the Commune team, and we’re looking forward to seeing the business become part of the Mapperley community.
