Bean Loved, Skipton’s first independent speciality coffee shop, has been crowned Yorkshire’s ‘Coffee Shop of the Year’ by The Corporate Livewire Prestige Awards 2022.
Located in the heart of North Yorkshire’s market town for the last 15 years, Bean Loved is a family run business with a ‘passion for beautiful coffee’, as well as serving locally sourced, expertly crafted food.
The awards, which recognise small and medium-sized businesses across the UK, chose Bean Loved as a worthy winner based on its service excellence, quality of food and drinks, innovative practices, as well as its ethical and sustainable methods of working.
Taking into consideration reviews from social media, Google and Trip Advisor, as well as passing a ‘mystery shop’ visit from the judging panel, the Bean Loved team impressed judges with its consistency in performance.
Wes Bond, owner of Bean Loved, said: “We are all absolutely delighted to be given this award. It is a real pat on the back for all the team – from the kitchen staff to front of house. It gives them the recognition they truly deserve for all their hard work and dedication.
“Everything we were judged on for this award is something we strive to achieve, every single day. I firmly believe we are consistently good at what we do, and to be recognised for that is an honour. It is a worrying time for many small businesses as the cost-of-living crisis continues, so we are extremely grateful to all our lovely customers who come in and continue to enjoy visiting Bean Loved.”
Andrew White, a judge for The Corporate Livewire Prestige Awards, commented: “Winners demonstrated a strong presence in showing motivation and drive within their industry. We are keen to see how they will continue to succeed in the future.”
