Welcome to BenaBerry's

Craftea Café

Home of BenaBerry Products, Crafts, Coffee and Great Cakes!

 A one-of-a-kind Café, where creativity meets laser precision

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we all deserve a moment to pause, unwind, and do something just for ourselves. That’s where our Craftea café comes in — it’s not just a place to craft, but a sanctuary for creativity, relaxation, and self-expression.


Here, you can escape the noise, recharge your mind, and reconnect with the joy of making. Crafting isn’t just about creating something beautiful—it’s a proven way to boost mindfulness and well-being. Our workshops are designed to be warm, welcoming and stress-free, giving you the perfect space to explore your creativity at your own pace.


Whether you join us for some peaceful "me time" or bring along friends to share the experience,

you’ll leave feeling refreshed, accomplished and truly inspired.


Not into crafting? No problem! You’re still more than welcome to come in, relax, and enjoy our cosy atmosphere.

Treat yourself to one of our many refreshments, sweet treats, or toasted delights—whether it’s a tea cake, toast, crumpets, or a bagel. Settle in with a good book, catch up on the latest news, or challenge yourself (or a friend!) to a game from our selection of board games, card games, and our unique Art Deco Scrabble set.


Whether you're here to unwind solo or spend quality time with a friend, our space is yours to enjoy!

Where we started

Based in Derby, BenaBerry Products has been creating beautiful handmade gifts for customers across the UK since 2012. Each piece is crafted with care using traditional wood-burning techniques, making every item truly unique and perfect for any occasion.


In 2020, we took a creative leap forward with the arrival of our CO₂ laser, opening up a world of new possibilities. During lockdown, we began making hand-drawn pocket hugs and personalised keepsakes featuring family pictures — thoughtful little tokens to help people feel close, even when they couldn’t be together. That same year, following redundancy, I took the plunge and became a full-time crafter — and what an incredible journey it’s been!


Fast forward to 2024, and the next exciting chapter began with the opening of BenaBerry’s Craftea Café — a welcoming space to meet friends, craft, drink coffee, and enjoy locally made cake. The café offers a range of creative activities for all ages, including weekly mindful art sessions to support positive mental health, as well as in-house and visiting artist workshops covering everything from fused glass and needle punch to air clay and rustic woodworking.


We’re also proud to showcase and support local artisans, giving them a platform to share and sell their amazing creations. It’s all about community, creativity, and connection — celebrating the joy of making, together.
