Hugely popular Sutton Coldfield café announces move in expansion plans
Silver Tree Bakery tentatively opened in Sutton's Gracechurch Centre in the former Ernest Jones jewellers premises around a year ago. in August 2024.
It was an expansion from the businesses' first shop in in a Scandi-style hut next to their homes in Water Orton Lane in Minworth, but a 'pop-up' which was initially due to stay until Christmas.

It first opened from Friday to Sunday to test the water, but was an immediate success and quickly expanded its opening times to a six-day-a-week operation from Tuesday to Sunday. The business also extended its lease beyond Christmas.
Now the Silver Tree's owners have confirmed they are moving their town centre site.
They will head just a few doors up to the former Office show shop premises which faces Bishops Court, opposite WH Smith's.
The new shop will be a bigger unit than the current site and allow the business to offer a lot more.
The owners say it is 'more than just an upgrade' and will be an 'extended version of everything you already love about Silver Tree'.
The new shop will have an 'extended menu' and not be 'just grab and go'.
It will have indoor and outdoor seating – but more of it. And 'real crockery & cutlery' is also being added.
A new element will be a brand new private co-working area upstairs and a 'multi-use event space for the community'.
In a post on Facebook, Silver Tree Bakery's owners, Kirsty Cosgrave and he brother, Kirk Bick, said: 'We've been a little quiet lately… but that's only because we've been working on something very exciting behind the scenes.
'As we approach our 1-year anniversary at Gracechurch, we're thrilled to finally (and officially) announce that Silver Tree Bakery is expanding — and yes, it's probably the worst kept secret in Sutton Coldfield.
'We've just picked up the keys to our brand new home at Unit 194 in the Gracechurch Shopping Centre, and we're getting to work straight away."

The post continued: 'We've listened to your feedback, and we're building something special, not just for us, but for you, our local neighbourhood hub.
'Massive thanks to Gracechurch, SAV Group, and BPG Holdings. They have big plans for the centre, and it's only right we have big plans too!'
The new look Silver Tree Bakery will take a little while to put together with the opening expected in 'several months'.
Elsewhere in the Gracechurch Centre, another café, Roma, has reopened after being closed for more than six months.
The venue in the former Patisserie Valerie premises (version two, within the inner centre) had closed around Christmas-time.
But its not back open with a staff member saying it is 'under new ownership and management'. It has retained the same menu.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool have sent message to Alexander Isak
Liverpool have FAILED in their first official bid for Alexander Isak. A bid - reported to be in the region of £120m - was sent to Newcastle for the Swedish striker but was quickly knocked back. Isak is under contract at St. James' Park until 2028 but it would be surprising if he remains there beyond this summer. 🔴 Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! his future is being sorted out. Liverpool are well aware that Isak wants the move - although it was reported on Friday that the club would indeed take Newcastle's first 'No' for an answer. Fabrizio Romano: Rejected bid is part of the game That stance contradicts what Fabrizio Romano has heard however. The Italian transfer supremo FULLY expects Liverpool to be back with another bid. There is ample time - both for Liverpool to complete a deal for Isak and Newcastle to sign a replacement. 'Liverpool know that this is part of the game,' Romano told his YouTube audience. 'It's still beginning of August. There's still plenty of time to go before the end of the transfer window.' Liverpool's bid a MESSAGE to Isak The bid was confirmation if it were needed that Liverpool consider Isak a priority target. It was, according to Romano, conceived as a MESSAGE to Isak. Liverpool wanted to show the Newcastle No14 that their interest was genuine - and that they were going to do whatever it takes to deliver this signing. 'Liverpool wanted to show to the player: 'Okay, we are really ready.' That's not just an informal conversation. That's not just a verbal proposal. It's an official bid,' Romano states.

'Oldest' pasty maker in the world donates more than £10k to good causes
A bakery has given more than £10,000 to good causes over the past two years. Warrens Bakery, believed to be the oldest pasty maker in the world, has supported charities, community groups and sports clubs through donations and fundraising. The Cornish bakery, which has more than 47 shops across the South West, said the contributions reflect its long-standing commitment to the communities it serves. Louise Batty, marketing manager at Warrens Bakery, said: "As a business that's very much rooted in the West Country, Warrens Bakery is committed to supporting local fundraising, charities and sporting initiatives in the region, and look forward to continuing to help these inspirational people and organisations where we can."

Similarly, during UK Coffee Week, 5p from each coffee sold goes to Project Waterfall, a charity bringing clean water and sanitation to coffee-growing communities. These two campaigns have raised more than £4,000 in the past two years. Festive giving also features in the bakery's efforts, with sales of its Christmas pasty raising more than £2,000 for Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of rugby. Warrens Bakery's support extends beyond financial donations. The company regularly donates pasties to Dive Project Cornwall for students on its marine education programme, and to Children's Hospice South West for fundraising events. Other donations have included scones to hedgehog charity Prickles and Paws and doughnuts to the Plymouth Blood Donor Centre. The bakery has also raised more than £600 for Purple Angel, a dementia support charity. Through this partnership, all Warrens Bakery shops have become dementia-aware. Warrens has also supported regional rugby, football and cricket clubs, as well as events including the Dart Music Festival and the St Just Lafrowda Festival.
