coffee shop<\/a> in Bristol, which has only been open for a few months, have described their shock and frustration after thieves caused ‘significant damage’ to the glass front of the building, during a break-in.<\/p>\nSpeaking to BristolLive, Walter and Seda from Two Ways Coffee on Bond Street, said: “We were alerted by our intruder alarm and arrived on-site to find our shop had been broken into. While the police have completed their initial investigation, seeing the extent of the damage was a shock.<\/p>\n
“The intruders only left with a few soft drinks, however they caused significant damage to the main glass and a major mess in the process. It is deeply frustrating to face such a setback, especially as we have only been open for a few months and have already had to report multiple incidents to the police.<\/p>\n
“While we are hesitant about the idea of shutters, the recurring issue of break-ins and vandalism in the city centre has left us feeling on edge, and it is a security measure we are now seriously considering. To clarify, we do not wish to promote a cashless society, but the high risk of our location necessitated this policy for safety.<\/p>\n
“Incidents like this are incredibly disheartening for us as we work incredibly hard to build a business. The support from customers and other local businesses is a reminder that it’s worth continuing to build upon.<\/p>\n
“Moving forward we hope it’s just good news from us.”<\/p>\n

The Two Ways Coffee team shared a post to Instagram on Monday (May 11) with some photos of the damage, and said: “What a way to start the week! 24 Bond Street Bristol city centre. Two months of trading and this happens.<\/p>\n
“People have been asking why we chose this location, and our answers remains the same, we have a vision for this space and we will continue to build upon it. If you want to show your support then come by for a coffee, biscuits or both. We would love to see you!”<\/p>\n
