Follow Your Bliss Café opens at its much larger premises on Bangor High Street today (Thursday, 21st June). Established in 2015, ‘Follow Your Bliss’ provides tasty food that is free from gluten and with the minimal use of processed oils and refined sugar.

The café strives to create a menu and environment that supports health and sustainability for both the local community and the planet, and also tries to use local food providers, promoting them and using local produce in their prepared food.

Follow Your Bliss proprietor Lesley Wills said: “It’s more than 3 years ago that Follow Your Bliss Café was born in its tiny home here in sunny Bangor.

“Our desire for Health and wellbeing has always and always will be the main driver and so the next chapter starts as we move over to the much bigger FYBliss Café mark 2.

“The new Follow Your Bliss will be amazing, a much larger café space with lots more seating, with the same yummy menu, all gluten free and more takeaways veggie and vegan.

“We’ve come a long way and I dare say much more adventures to come but I must remark FYBliss 2 is a dream for me from 10-15 covers max in old Bliss to 30-40 covers a bigger team and yes hallelujah a bigger kitchen!”

Wellness Centre

There are also plans to create a wellness centre for Bangor, on the floors above the new café, which will include yoga studios and several therapy rooms that will focus on health and wellbeing, including herbalism, sound therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Lesley added: “We open at 9am last orders 4pm shut at 5.30pm Lots to add as the weeks go by menu changes, workshops, and now working towards the second phase. Thank-you for being patient as we smooth out the snags and settle into our new space let the next phase of FYBliss Cafe begin.”

The new café is located at 307-309 High Street, Bangor LL57 1UL.
