A coffee shop and ice cream parlour has opened its second site – just six weeks after the concept was launched in south London.

Affogato has now opened in The Broadway, Crawley selling Italian-style ice cream as well as hot drinks and pastries.  

It follows the opening of the first Affogato in Norbury.

The shop gets its name from an Italian dessert which usually takes the form of a scoop of ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso.

The company hopes to create a children’s play area at the Crawley site and also extend upstairs.
