Following its soft launch period, Italian-style coffee shop, Monte Bianco, on Surbiton's Brighton Road swung open its doors this morning, 23 October, at its earlier opening time of 7.30am.

On the pastry front, Monte Bianco will be continuing to mix things up each day but it will always be well stocked of its most popular items, including cinnamon buns.

The coffee shop will still have one or two offers up its sleeve, which it will be rolling out in the coming weeks.

Run by Alaistair Roberts of Kingston, Monte Bianco sells its own branded coffees along with pastries and soft drinks.
