Marks & Spencer (M&S) has opened its first standalone café at its headquarters in London’s Paddington.
The 70-cover Merchant Square café is designed to serve both M&S employees as well as the general public and is the first standalone site across the retailer’s 150-strong café estate.
The menu includes made-to-order hot breakfast rolls, muffins, cakes and in-house baked pastries. Its main food line showcases the “best of the M&S food hall ingredients”, including hot and cold sandwiches, freshly-made meals, soups and salads.
Jason Danciger, head of hospitality at M&S, said: “Our cafés are achieving industry leading growth and design has been fundamental to this success. They provide inspiration and food credentials for our customers and practical and operational ease for our teams.”
