Yesterday, Bru opened their fifth cafe in Oadby in Leicestershire’s town of Oadby and have assured FtLion that all food and beverages served are Halal. Renovating an old HSBC branch, the cafe offers freshly prepared foods, desserts, iced refreshers, milkshakes and homemade gelato in addition to its famed coffee. Though caffeine wasn’t mentioned specifically as being forbidden by scripture it can give some people an artificial high; although honey may provide similar feelings but is considered acceptable by Islam compared with caffeine’s brief high.

People sometimes claim that coffee contains 10% cockroach bits; however, this figure is highly unreliable; in reality 0.1% would likely be closer. At Bru’s Foods & Beverages we use delicious ingredients sourced halal-friendly.
