The Mocha House is a café run by young people, for young people. It happens in the St Mary's Pavilion each Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30pm-5:30pm during term time. The food and drink Mocha House sells are all Fairtrade, and it uses ecologically friendly cleaning products. There are 13 young people on The Mocha House team, and they work a two-hour session every other week.
But…instead of me telling you what's great about The Mocha House I thought I'd ask the young people themselves why they love it! Here's what they said:
"You can meet all your friends there and have good food and drink. Also, all the stuff is Fairtrade which is cool." Jonathan, 15
"It is a fun social place to stay and meet your mates. It's good to have fair-trade stuff" Hannah, 13
"You can socialise with your friends. The food and drink is nice and Fairtrade and it has a nice atmosphere." Rebecca, 14
"The food and drink is Fairtrade which is great. It is really good value and I can meet with my friends." Andy, 15
"The hot chocolate is insanely good. Highly recommended. It's funny and a good time" Catherine, 14
"It's relaxed and informal, a good chill out time after school. I like that it's Fairtrade." Jess, 16
"Great company; and it's nice and warm! : Tasty stuff! All Fairtrade and is a lot better than sitting at home by yourself." Sophie, 14
"Because I rarely go to a café I love the food and drink." Will, 13
"It's a fun place to go after school, to get a drink and basically chill out." Matt, 14
