In the heart of Northampton, two enterprising mums, Anna Bajda and Anita Kaminsa, have turned their maternity leave into a delightful dream come true. Amica Cafe, nestled on Latchet Lane, is the result of their shared passion for hospitality and culinary excellence.
Anna and Anita, the dynamic duo behind Amica Cafe, opened their doors at the end of November last year, seizing the opportunity when a unit became available. With Anna’s extensive hospitality experience and Anita’s expertise as a professional pastry chef, they have crafted a warm and welcoming space for locals to enjoy.
Amica Cafe offers a delectable menu featuring everything from hearty breakfasts to indulgent desserts and speciality coffees. Their crushed avocado and classic English breakfast have quickly become crowd favourites. And for those craving a comforting Sunday roast, Amica Cafe has you covered.
The cafe is not just about food; it’s a community hub. Anna and Anita host children’s birthday parties, private celebrations, and business meetings, even offering catering services. Their commitment to creating a place “built with heart” is evident in every detail.
The support from the Foxfields management team and Latchet Lane residents has been overwhelming. The positive feedback and returning customers have been a testament to the cafe’s warm reception. Balancing motherhood and business ownership has been a challenge, but the support from their partners and families has made it possible.
Looking ahead, Anna and Anita plan to introduce seasonal menus and expand their offerings. Their journey is a testament to the power of community support and following one’s dreams. At James Anthony, we celebrate such inspiring local stories that make Northampton a vibrant place to live.
