About C & S Coffee & Sandwiches – A Community Café in Bury St Edmunds
Where Craftsmanship Meets Coffee, and Community Comes First

At C & S Coffee & Sandwiches, we blend a love of local flavours with deep-rooted community values. Located in Bury St Edmunds on historic Risbygate Street, our café is more than just a place to grab a bite—it’s a space created with care, heart, and hands-on experience. Founded by brothers Stephen and Calvin Watson, who brought their building expertise into every corner of the café, we’ve turned a former motorbike shop into a welcoming hub for families, friends, and coffee lovers alike.

Background of the Business

Stephen and Calvin Watson grew up understanding the value of hard work, detail, and meaningful spaces. Their careers in construction gave them the tools to build something special—this café. With a vision to create not just a business, but a home for the local community, C & S Coffee & Sandwiches was born from both nostalgia and forward-thinking.

Mission & Core Values

We exist to create everyday moments that matter—whether it’s a builder popping in for a morning brew, a parent letting their child explore the digger sandbox, or a group of friends catching up over fresh sandwiches. That’s our mission. And our values guide every step: keep it local, keep it real, and always serve with heart.

Community Involvement

From partnering with local farms and bakeries to hosting neighbourhood events, we actively invest in our community. We support charity drives, sponsor local initiatives, and offer our space for small-scale gatherings. This café isn’t just in Bury St Edmunds—it’s for Bury St Edmunds.

Coffee Shop with a Nod to Construction & Craftsmanship

The Watson brothers’ building expertise shines through the café’s bespoke design, including a digger-themed sandbox that makes our place a hit with families and anyone who appreciates thoughtful, hand-crafted spaces.
