ON AIR NOW:

A peek inside the new rustic-chic coffee shop Patty’s Pastries

A cosy and charming coffee shop offering an array of homemade sweet treats that the owner bakes to perfection without following a single recipe has set up shop in Barrow upon Humber.

Situated on High Street, Patty’s Pastries officially opened to the public on Tuesday. In its first day alone, the coffee shop was inundated with customers from Barrow and beyond, all of whom were delighted with the fresh addition to the North Lincolnshire village.

Offering a range of hot drink options, sandwiches, bagels, scones and homemade baked goods – most notably the pistachio and Biscoff croissants – the shop has taken around a month to refurbish and decorate into its rustic and chic style, complete with a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

Patty’s Pastries is the brainchild of Patrycja Osiadly, 32, who developed a love of cooking and baking after she graduated from university and met her husband, Piotr.

Speaking to Scunthorpe Live, Patty said: “At university I did completely different things but when I met my husband I realised I loved cooking for him, and after that I started baking. When I’m baking I don’t use a strict recipe, I use my brain to measure out the ingredients and add more of what I think needs adding. It’s hard to explain.

“Because I love baking and cooking for others, my friends told me I should open a café. I said I wasn’t ready, but they kept persuading me. My husband built a coffee trailer for me, so we started operating from that. But sometimes it was rainy and windy so I realised I’d prefer a small café, so we just decided to open one. It’s my dream café.

“It’s taken nearly a month to refurbish and decorate. My husband asked me how I wanted it to look and I came up with the idea, and he built everything himself. On opening day, I felt like I was preparing for a big university exam because I was so nervous.”

Patty said the response from residents in the area has been incredibly positive, so much so that she sold out of many items on the menu on her first day of opening.

“It’s been so busy, and I’m so pleased by the response. Nearly every single person has told me it’s a good idea, that Barrow needed a tearoom or café,” she said.

“I think there was definitely a gap in Barrow for somewhere like this. It’s a good base for customers to meet, because people from different villages have been popping into the café, too. It seems I’ve got a really big support network, and I’m so pleased that people are happy with it.”

Patty said she has tried to keep her prices as low as possible to help customers who may be struggling. Almost all items on the menu cost less than £5.

“I’m trying to keep my prices quite low because I want to keep my customers coming back. I’d rather be busy all the time and have people returning,” she said.

Patty’s Pastries is open from 8.30am to 3pm from Monday to Friday, and from 8.30am to 4pm on weekends. You can follow the coffee shop on Facebook here.
