Community

A warm welcome on the High Street.

At the heart of Boldmere High Street, Communitea Café is a place where people come together over good food, friendly conversation and a shared sense of community. Opened in 2017, the cafe was created with a simple but powerful aim: to provide healthy, affordable meals in a welcoming space where everyone feels they belong.

Over the years, it has grown into much more than a cafe - it's a familiar, comforting hub for local residents of all ages.

A community space full of life

Communitea Boldmere is alive with activity and connection. Alongside our food and drink, we offer a wide range of free, inclusive social activities designed to reduce loneliness, improve wellbeing, and encourage friendship and confidence.

Just some of our activities and groups:

  • Advice cafés
  • Social workers drop-in sessions
  • Digital support sessions
  • Dementia cafés
  • Veterans' groups
  • Sewing and knitting groups
  • Games clubs
  • A range of support groups

There truly is something for everyone whether you're looking for conversation, creativity, gentle movement, or simply a place to feel at home.

Accessible, relaxed and dog friendly

Communitea Boldmere is fully accessible, ensuring everyone can enjoy the space comfortably. We're also proudly dog friendly, welcoming four-legged companions with the same warmth as their owners - a small touch that makes a big difference to those who rely on pets for companionship.

Whether you pop in for a coffee, a meal, a takeaway or a group session, you'll always find a friendly face and a calm, inclusive atmosphere.
