New coffee and clothes shop set to open its doors

The unit is well-known for its time as Aphrodite.

Last month, the Echo revealed how AutismAble had bought the former Aphrodite building in Vine Place, with its offices being created upstairs and a new coffee shop, bottle bar and pre-loved clothes shop on the ground floor.

Menswear specialist Aphrodite was one of the city's most popular independent retailers, bringing top-name brands to the city centre for 30 years before closing its store in Vine Place last summer after Mike Ashley's company, Frasers Group, bought the retail business.
