The cafe opened last week, offering a wide selection of coffees, teas, and fruit smoothies, and tasty sandwiches, quiches, and pastries to suit any palette.
The Coffee Cart was established in 1999 as a takeaway pop up in High Town, before opening up a cafe base at the Old Market Shopping Centre in 2017.
The company already caters for events, and is looking to expand into the business hospitality sector, offering a sit in business coffee lounge, takeaway service and support for events and conferences.

It wants to become a 'one stop shop' for all local businesses in the area, and is hoping to offer rentable workspace and an online and app based takeaway order service from July.
As part of a phased plan of opening, by October the Munitions will also look to offer private venue hire, breakfast and coffee clubs plus an accredited coffee school offering barista training on the premises.
It is also looking to open a coffee garden in the grounds of the Shell Store to attract passing customers in the better weather.

"The Shell Store is expanding all the time with new businesses, and we hope to grow with them.
"With the new university and the Enterprise Zone expanding, this is an exciting time for Rotherwas and we hope to become the go to place for people to meet and network in the city."
