Cafe Expects Siele Of Approval
Michelle Douglas Allison opened what will be Trimdon Station's only coffee shop on Monday, December 22, 2008.
Michelle, 30, opened Café Siele in
“When my grandmother, Elsie, was alive we couldn’t go anywhere without stopping by a coffee shop, she loved them. We’d go shopping together and often spend more time sitting in cafes than we would in the shops,” explained Michelle. “She was my inspiration for starting up a coffee shop of my own.”
The opening of Café Siele- an anagram of Elsie- will seat around twelve people and will provide a takeaway service. Customers will be able to enjoy a range of different coffees, tea, hot chocolate and hot and cold meals and snacks- all of which will be made fresh in the shop.
Michelle grew up with Elsie’s home cooking and will be making sure her grandmother’s favourites, tiffin cake and apple and blackberry pie, are available in Café Siele.

She added: “I’ve already got plans to offer services that go that extra mile once Café Siele is up and running.
“I’m planning to offer a web-based ordering service so that people can place their order online in advance of their visit. I’m also looking into a meal delivery service which would be a huge benefit to those people that might not be able to get out to the café.”
