Alcohol could soon be served at the new coffee shop at Warwick Parkway Station, if plans are signed off by Warwick District Council.

Caffe Ideas has applied for an alcohol licence for its latest venture Espresso Station, which opened for the first time at the start of July.

If approved, the licence will allow the coffee shop to sell alcohol or consumption on and off the premises from 6am to 5pm Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm on Saturdays and from 9am to 5pm on Sundays.

Locals have until October 16 to comment on the application.

Run by husband and wife team Susan and Simon Knight, Caffe Ideas already has well established bases at Birmingham Moor Street and Dorridge Stations.

As well as running the three station outlets, Caffe Ideas also has two destination coffee shops - Espresso Barn in Long Marston and Espresso Farm in Tanworth in Arden.

This as well as having three very successful kiosks at Aston Villa Football Club.

"Our selling point is our coffee, we love our coffee," Susan said to Nub News earlier this year.

"We lived in Sydney for a while and our love of coffee started there really. 

"When we came back to the UK we couldn't find a decent cup, which is when Simon and I went to a local supplier in Birmingham who helped us design our own mobile coffee cart which we started running in Solihull. 

"Simon stood there for six months, selling our coffee until we got a lucky break with Aston Villa Football Club, who asked us to come along on match days and events! 

"It took off from there and we are still at Villa Park, inside, selling our artisan coffee and supporters love it."
