Welcome to Café Mosaic!

We are so excited to see you! 

~ ~ ~

The Church Café was renovated in the summer of 2018 in preparation for the opening of the newly built Peach Place right outside our doors.

Café Mosaic has been named after the beautiful mosaic fish sculpture on the side of the Bradbury Centre.  Mosaics also represent what our Church and the Café mean to many people.  A collection of people gathered to make a fantastic 'whole' and volunteers from many different backgrounds help us to provide a warm, friendly welcome.

Nancy and the team would love to welcome you.

Wherever you're from
Wherever you're going
You're welcome here

We are supporting some national campaigns where the charities are able to provide publicity. There will be no stalls, but we will have regular opportunities to support these campaigns by buying coffee and cake – what could be better!  Nancy will be looking for support during these Charity Mornings, and we hope, with your support, to raise significant sums to donate to these good causes.

Report - Macmillan Coffee Morning

We are delighted to share that £400 was raised at the Macmillan Coffee Morning on Wednesday 3rd September.  This donation will be sent to Macmillan.  A heartfelt thank you to the kitchen volunteers who baked such delicious cakes and helped make the event such a success.

Thank you, Nancy

I was promoted to Cafe Manager in October 2024 and joined by Emily Manning as Kitchen Assistant. 

We aim to make the Cafe more cost effective and value for money by:

• purchasing supplies in bulk and using local produce, ensuring quality of food remains our priority. This has been successful which is shown in last quarter’s figures. 
• cooking in a more economical manner, using the air fryer where possible. 
• making home-made soup, home baking goods as much as possible. These two changes have proven to be very popular.
• reducing food waste by monitoring customer choices.
• the introduction of a lunch special menu which is changed weekly. 

In March we revised the menu with a slight price increase due to cost of food prices. 

We provide refreshments for a variety of groups who hire centre rooms, which include Link, Parkinson’s, Age UK and WI. 

We work closely with Clasp Group, which has increased in size, to cater for their individual dietary requirements. 

Recently a new group called Knit & Natter started on a Friday which was set-up by Sue Jones which has proven to be successful. 

I met with the Editor of Wokingham Word who kindly offered to do a feature on the Mosaic Cafe in the May edition. 

Lunchtime proves to be the busiest time of day providing lunches and light meals, with baked potatoes being one of the most favourites of customers. 

We welcome charities to hold their coffee mornings in the Cafe, so far this year we have held the Mayor’s Charity Share, Chilterns Academy and this week Rose Street Theatre Club coffee morning, in April we have The Arts Society. 

I find running the Cafe enjoyable, along with its challenges, and would like to take this opportunity to thank Emily who has brought her youthful inspiration and ideas into the cafe, customer feedback states that she makes the best bacon rolls in Wokingham!

I would also like to thank all volunteers who give up their valuable time to help, it is sincerely appreciated. 

We strive to create a welcoming environment catering for all who visit the Cafe Mosaic and make everyone feel that they are part of a community.
