What can I call my cafe?

Great minds cafe

How about ‘My Old China’ (rhyming slang for friend: china plate = mate) and also refers to crockery used in tea room.

Not keen on Sweet Charity ( sounds like a charity shop)
But others suggested Market Tearoom, which sounds nicely old fashioned, or something flowery like Poppies Tearoom,
Or again already suggested The Currant Bun.

Pensionpat, what a lovely idea you and your friend have had. Wishing you all success with the launch.
I liked the name “Sweet Charity” very much.

It is a charity shop lemongrove but I know what you mean. I found that name a bit twee though. My personal favourite was Give and Cake or Tea for Two. Can't think of anything better off the top of my head.

Such a lovely thing to do pensionpat I wish you every success. We live many miles away but if I tell my DH I'm pretty sure he will move to Rugeley asap! He is a tea and cake addict

Cakes Galore

How about Aunteas and cake?

Best of luck!! Fabulous idea to raise money for 2 deserving causes'

By the way how do you get to start a new thread?

Charitea sounds perfect, good luck, and please let us know what name you choose

The pretty tea room ?

How about Myosotis which is the 'real' name for forget-me-not.

Breeze yes, I know, the proceeds after overheads I presume are going to two charities, but not a great idea having charity in the actual name ( as cold as charity?)
Names that seem to appeal to people now about tearooms are something old fashioned, as the very name Tearoom is old fashioned in itself, The Copper Kettle, or something nostalgic could be good.

Mmmm, just fancy some tea and cake right now

Cup of Kindness

Polly's ( as in 'put the kettle on')

But 'Tea for Two' was my first thought..as it seems it was for others too!

Popular local tea-rooms are called Natters, Eliza's & Eden. They are always busy!

I'm torn between Tea for Two and Sweet Charity

I like Sweet Charity, but wonder if people will think it sells sweets? I agree it shouldn't mention the charity aspect, although you could have a board inside telling people where the profits go. You could sell vouchers for a special Afternoon Tea, as a present idea. (nice treat and supporting local charity)

You want visions of cream teas, big chunks of home made cake and piping hot tea and coffee.

I think a lot of people do like an old fashioned name, perhaps with the name Tearoom. Or - Polly put the kettle on, or Pollys' Tearoom.

Good luck with your venture, how exciting. Wish I lived near, I'd support you regularly!

You are making me feel hungry- what a lovely idea.

I don't have any better suggestions - but I think Sweet Charity or Tea for Two are good (as are the others too).

However, I hope all goes well with you; I have been to that market in years gone by - last time was a trip down memory lane as, when I bought something, the stallholder called me 'duck' .

I like Tea 4 Two also.

My idea would be Two-Gether (as there are 2 of you in this together)!

I wish you every success in this venture. If I am ever near Rugeley (my son lives near Lichfield) I will certainly pop in to sample your cakes!

ps if I'm up that way again I will come in for some and

Sweet Charity gets my vote!

There was, or is? a lovely tea shop in Marlborough. Just saying.
But do please come back and tell us the chosen name.
