A coffee shop serving waffles and pancakes is getting ready to open its doors to customers this week. 

The grand opening of Wafflechino is set to take place on Thursday, September 5, at 3 Butter Market in Bury St Edmunds. 

It is located inside the former premises of The Art of Men's Grooming barbers and Toppers sandwich shop which closed down in 2018.

The new waffle shop will be one of the first to open in the town since national chain Kaspa's Desserts closed its restaurant in Cornhill.

Announcing the news on social media, the owners said: "We are very excited to announce the opening of our new waffle and coffee shop."

In celebration of the opening the cafe is offering a half price discount on waffles for the first five days.
