Hugely popular Sutton Coldfield café announces move in expansion plans
Silver Tree Bakery tentatively opened in Sutton's Gracechurch Centre in the former Ernest Jones jewellers premises around a year ago. in August 2024.
It was an expansion from the businesses' first shop in in a Scandi-style hut next to their homes in Water Orton Lane in Minworth, but a 'pop-up' which was initially due to stay until Christmas.

It first opened from Friday to Sunday to test the water, but was an immediate success and quickly expanded its opening times to a six-day-a-week operation from Tuesday to Sunday. The business also extended its lease beyond Christmas.
Now the Silver Tree's owners have confirmed they are moving their town centre site.
They will head just a few doors up to the former Office show shop premises which faces Bishops Court, opposite WH Smith's.
The new shop will be a bigger unit than the current site and allow the business to offer a lot more.
The owners say it is 'more than just an upgrade' and will be an 'extended version of everything you already love about Silver Tree'.
The new shop will have an 'extended menu' and not be 'just grab and go'.
It will have indoor and outdoor seating – but more of it. And 'real crockery & cutlery' is also being added.
A new element will be a brand new private co-working area upstairs and a 'multi-use event space for the community'.
In a post on Facebook, Silver Tree Bakery's owners, Kirsty Cosgrave and he brother, Kirk Bick, said: 'We've been a little quiet lately… but that's only because we've been working on something very exciting behind the scenes.
'As we approach our 1-year anniversary at Gracechurch, we're thrilled to finally (and officially) announce that Silver Tree Bakery is expanding — and yes, it's probably the worst kept secret in Sutton Coldfield.
'We've just picked up the keys to our brand new home at Unit 194 in the Gracechurch Shopping Centre, and we're getting to work straight away."

The post continued: 'We've listened to your feedback, and we're building something special, not just for us, but for you, our local neighbourhood hub.
'Massive thanks to Gracechurch, SAV Group, and BPG Holdings. They have big plans for the centre, and it's only right we have big plans too!'
The new look Silver Tree Bakery will take a little while to put together with the opening expected in 'several months'.
Elsewhere in the Gracechurch Centre, another café, Roma, has reopened after being closed for more than six months.
The venue in the former Patisserie Valerie premises (version two, within the inner centre) had closed around Christmas-time.
But its not back open with a staff member saying it is 'under new ownership and management'. It has retained the same menu.

FCA Head Says Car Loan Claims to Be Lower Than PPI: Sunday Times
Banks will pay out 'substantially less' compensation for hidden commission in car finance loans than they did during the Payment Protection Insurance scandal, according to Nikhil Rathi, chief executive officer of Britain's Financial Conduct Authority. 'We would expect any outcome — if we are to move forward with an industrywide compensation scheme — to be substantially less than the PPI episode,' Rathi said in an interview with the Sunday Times. Compensation for PPI claims, where lenders sold insurance borrowers didn't need, cost the banks at least £35 billion ($46.5 billion).

Fabrizio Romano confirms Liverpool striker talks as deal moves closer
Liverpool's first official bid for Alexander Isak was swiftly rejected by Newcastle United. It's no secret that the Swede is top of Liverpool's striker wishlist - with Richard Hughes prepared to pay ANOTHER British transfer record fee. 🔴 Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Having paid £116m for Florian Wirtz earlier this summer, Liverpool's sporting director will have to top that fee for Isak. And while reports have been suggesting that Liverpool WON'T be back - the signs are there that the opposite in fact is true. Firstly, the Geordies are pressing on with plans to sign Benjamin Sesko. Why else would they be adding an €80m first-choice striker to their squad? Liverpool UNLOCK Isak funding And, secondly, Liverpool are keen to sell Darwin Nunez. It would be negligent if the Reds left themselves short in the centre-forward position through the sale of the Uruguayan. Liverpool need the money. Having sold Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, the Anfield club are building a transfer bundle for the Isak deal - and Darwin's exit will be key to unlocking more funds. Hughes is hopeful of gaining around £70m or so for the 26-year-old - which can then be channelled into a bid for Isak. Liverpool remain open to Nunez deal And it has now been claimed by Fabrizio Romano that Liverpool are still OPEN to selling Nunez with Al-Hilal now emerging a frontrunners. Liverpool declined to sell Nunez to the Saudi Pro League club back in January owing to a lack of alternative but Isak is being primed to come to Anfield this summer. Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi is reportedly a big fan of Nunez - with Romano confirming talks between the player's entourage and the Riyadh club.
