Chantal Charles-Smith took out a £25,000 loan in April 2021 to launch Laughing Llama Coffee and Bistro, a family-friendly destination in York.
As a parent of two young children, I knew firsthand the difficulty of finding somewhere to take kids that is family friendly and serves good quality coffee. As such, I wanted my coffee shop to be a haven that both kids and adults would love, with a designated children’s area on the first floor with toys to keep children entertained and busy whilst parents get a welcomed break - Chantal Charles-Smith Founder of Laughing Llama Coffee and Bistro
