🤍 At VV, we are one big community, and everyone who passes through our doors is welcomed with a smile. Some people come and go, while others stay and become family. We become part of their daily routine, and we take great pride in making people feel welcome and getting to know them.
Our family grows every day, and customers become friends—not only with us, but with one another.
It’s moments like these that make it especially hard when we lose someone. It doesn’t just affect us; it affects the friendships that have been born over a coffee and croissant every morning for the last two years.
It is with a very heavy heart that I let everyone know of the sudden passing of Jeff.
Jeff was our regular-as-clockwork 8:30am gentleman, always stopping to pass the time of day with everyone. He delivered flowers to another customer on the arrival of their daughter, chatted each morning with a young local hairdresser on her way to grab a matcha, gave birthday chocolates to the team, and sat with his coffee and croissant while watching Newmarket come to life.
Jeff, you will be terribly missed by all of us, and our mornings will feel very different for quite some time.
Jeff’s family has asked that we let everyone know that his funeral will take place at Bury St Edmunds Crematorium on Thursday 2nd July at midday. They would warmly welcome anyone who would like to pay their respects.
Forever your coffee shop, Jeff 🤍
