Discover Chelston Ella’s Café Lounge & Boutique
Nestled in Walnut Road in the heart of Chelston, Ella’s Café Lounge & Boutique is so much more than a café – it’s a vibrant, welcoming space where community spirit and on-trend sustainable fashion go hand-in-hand.
Step through the doors and you’ll discover a lovingly curated selection of quality preloved items – from stylish fashion pieces to chic homewares, all at prices that won’t break the bank. Of course, you can still take a moment to relax with a cup of tea and a slice of cake – the perfect way to make a leisurely afternoon of it! And with new stock arriving all the time, there’s always something fresh, funky and exciting to discover!
Supporting local lives through every sale
“The space is a treasure trove of gorgeous pieces,” says Caroline Wannell, Rowcroft’s Director of Retail. “But what makes the store truly special is its purpose – because every purchase helps to support Rowcroft Hospice, funding vital care for people living with life-limiting illnesses right here in South Devon. So whether you want to browse designer clothing, pick up a statement piece, or catch up with friends over lunch, you’re making a real difference in your local community.”
Sustainable style
And the impact doesn’t stop there – your sustainable choices are also helping to protect the planet. By choosing preloved, you’re reducing waste, cutting carbon emissions, and saving the energy and water used in producing new clothes. It’s a simple, meaningful way to embrace sustainable living.
A warm welcome awaits
If you’re having a clear-out, Ella’s would be delighted to receive your quality donations – please limit these to two large bags or boxes at a time, and remember to ask about Gift Aid. It adds 25p to every £1 raised, helping your preloved items go even further.
So why not pop in and say hello to Rowcroft’s friendly team, browse the rails, and see what gems you can find? Ella’s Café Lounge & Boutique proves that a few small, everyday choices can create something truly extraordinary.
Open Monday – Saturday, 9am – 4.30pm. Tel: 01803 605174.
