THE former co-owner of a popular Ipswich café has returned to the world of coffee, this time embarking on a project of her own.
Having had plenty of experience tranforming venues into successful cafes, Jolie Beckett has proven to coffee enthusiasts she is more than capable of reinventing a venue with atmosphere and good-quality food and coffee.
