A NEW independent coffee shop has opened its doors in the Bradford Interchange.

Java Joe, which opened its first outlet three years ago at the top of Wakefield Road, Dudley Hill, has branched out into the hustle and bustle of the transport hub.

Director Ryan Gallagher said: “It’s a proud moment for us.

“It’s nice to try and spread the our brand across Bradford - we are passionate about making Bradford a better place.

“We want to help improve the town centre.”

The ethos of the business is offering friendly customer service, while serving up high-quality coffee which stands out.

The new spot, next to the WH Smith unit, has been created from an empty concrete shell.

And Ryan’s verdict on the transformation?

“It looks spot on,” he told the Telegraph & Argus.

To mark the occasion, anyone who downloads the Java Joe app will get a free drink.

As well as coffee, the new Java Joe serves up sandwiches and sweet treats like cakes and doughnuts.
