A Wednesbury couple have opened a Harry Potter inspired café in the heart of Wednesbury in the West Midlands.
Harry Potter fans Jennie Bentley and Ashley Hodgkins opened Junction 9 ¾ on April 2 for takeaways and are now welcoming customers inside.
The design of the exterior and interior of the café is inspired by J.K. Rowling’s books and the Harry Potter Warner Bros. films with floating candles, wizarding artwork and other touches designed to give mere muggles a magical treat.
Since opening for takeaway and collections, the couple have been inundated with orders for their cake boxes. Alongside coffees, teas and milkshakes, customers can enjoy the likes of a Jammie Dodger Blondie and white chocolate and raspberry slices!
The owners of the wizarding-themed coffee shop are planning their grand opening event on 22 May, featuring a live magician and a Ford Anglia that looks just like Arthur Weasley’s flying car.
Tickets for the opening event are sold out with half of the proceeds going to local charity, Owl Experience Rescue Sanctuary, though they’ll be plenty of other opportunities to sit inside and sample the cakes!
Junction 9 ¾ is located just by Junction 9 of the M6 at 3 Spring Head, Wednesbury, WS10 9AD. Booking a table is highly recommended.
