Flo & Joe

Flo & Joe sits quietly on Staithe Street in Wells-next-the-Sea, offering a calm, coffee-centred retreat that's well-loved by locals and visitors who appreciate a slower pace. This cafe fits neatly into the rhythm of the town, welcoming people who want to recharge with a good cup of coffee alongside thoughtfully made cakes like chocolate brownie, carrot cake, and coffee & walnut cake.

While the interior is cozy and modest, the real appeal often lies in its unhurried vibe and the casual banter that drifts between tables, making it the kind of spot where regulars drop in at different times throughout the day. The menu’s sweet selection pairs effortlessly with a smooth coffee, encouraging visitors to linger. Afternoon is a particularly pleasant time here, when light spills gently through the windows, and the atmosphere softens into a relaxed, easy company of customers ranging from solo readers to small groups catching up.

Flo & Joe also features an interesting, albeit subtle, nod to Portugal and France through its wine offerings—if you fancy a glass, you can find several white wines from regions like Alentejo and Douro in Portugal, and a few reserve choices from Fernand Engel in France. Though primarily a cafe, this detail adds a welcome touch for those lingering into the early evening or seeking something a little different alongside their coffee break.

For anyone in Wells looking to settle down with a quiet drink or sweet treat in an unpretentious environment, Flo & Joe quietly anchors itself as a steady stop. It’s best suited for those who prefer relaxed, everyday comfort over a bustling coffee shop scene, making it a practical and low-key hub in the town’s social fabric.
