Based on the reviews from TripAdvisor, customers give the café, run by Aron and Clare Sharma, a rating of 5/5, receiving 203 excellent ratings of its 245 overall reviews.

The couple, who opened Espresso Lounge in 2011, have plans to expand their business.

Clare said: "We have been doing this for 10 years and we really care about what we do and it is nice for that to be recognised.

"We really appreciate the good reviews and to be in the top 20 is great, our hard work is paying off!

"We are relocating to a bigger site and will also keep this one, we will have a bigger shop and a roastery, so we will be able to roast and process the coffee on-site."

Aurimas Vainauskas, CEO of Coffee Friend, said: “The UK is now a nation of coffee lovers and with the country returning to more normal times, we’re helping the people of Britain find the best cafes in the best places.

“Our research has looked at the highest rated cafes across the country and found some of the better known, and lesser known, joints to grab a favourite drink and a bite to eat.”
