Miss Savage's business has gone from strength to strength since the first cafe was opened in May 2016, in King Street.

Miss Savage, who had previously worked in the tech industry in London, opened Cafe Club after pining for a career change.

Six years later, in May 2022, a second shop at the top of St Andrews Hill was opened up.
