Former Biddenham Upper School student Faisal Choudury is now enjoying the sweet taste of success with his business Koko Black at the Castle Quay area of Bedford.
A cafe and delivery service, Koko offers a fantastic range of patisseries and savouries, from 12 noon until 11 pm - so claims to be the only late night café in town.
Faisal opened the beautifully decorated venue at the turn of the year and has already built up a following with those stopping by for coffee, light lunches and those yummy puddings.
Now 40, Faisal attended university before setting up his well-established catering business Sweet Treat which supports wedding and other events.
“Some of our customers who come from London say we are bringing some of that choice to town,” said Faisal.
