Birthday celebration at Chesterfield cafe where customers can claim a free brownie in return for dancing on the big day
A cafe in Chesterfield has double cause for celebration with its second birthday fast approaching and its manager shortlisted for a major UK award.
The Savvy Baker on St Mary’s Gate turns two on Friday, August 7 when customers can claim a free brownie in return for dancing!
Exclusive birthday drinks and bakes will be available together with a full display of brownies, blondies and cookies.
Great music and great vibes are guaranteed during the birthday celebration which runs from 9.30am until 4.30pm.
Kelsey Ashby, manager at The Savvy Baker, said: “It’s going to be a day filled with community and laughter.
"We are also raising money for Weston Park Cancer charity, one charity extremely close to our hearts here at Savvy Baker.”
A film crew will capture the birthday celebration and also shoot footage of Kelsey who is representing England in La Marzocco’s Barista Hero 2026. Kelsey is one of four finalists for the award and up against contenders from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Kelsey, 24, who lives in Chesterfield, said: “I’m incredibly proud to represent England and to be recognised for something I genuinely care so deeply about.
"For me being a barista has always been about so much more than making coffee. It’s about people. From the incredible teams I’m lucky enough to work alongside, to the customers who become familiar faces, friends and part of our everyday lives, the connections we build are what makes this job so special.
"Being named a finalist is genuinely surreal. After dropping out of university and feeling completely lost, I never imagined that I would find a career that I love so much. Let alone be recognised in a national competition for the work I do within my community.”
