Rainbowls is opening its second Cheltenham cafe in the town's thriving Montpellier area, this spring.

Rainbowls is opening its second Cheltenham cafe, with the business replacing its sister brand, Loaf & Co, in Montpellier.

Since launching in 2023, the company has seen huge success not only in Gloucestershire but with its ambitious expansions outside of the county, with venues located just across the border in both Bristol and Worcester. 

Now adding to the thriving Montpellier area — and similar to its original Fairview branch — the menu is expected to focus on acai bowls and the many health benefits they offer.

Expect smoothie bowls topped with granola, coconut flakes, chia seeds, fresh fruit; a variety of wellness drinks including juices and shots; coffee; healthy cakes; as well as seasonal specials.

In a post on Instagram, co-owner Jess Peters said: 'Seeing how popular Rainbowls has become in Bristol, Worcester and Fairview Cheltenham, it made perfect sense to bring the brand to Montpellier. The energy, colour and creativity of Rainbowls is something we know will thrive here too.

'This next step allows us to grow the brand in a meaningful way, and bring even more vibrant, nourishing food to a space you already know and love. Think smoothie bowls, brunches, superfood lattes and the signature Rainbowls feel-good vibe coming very soon…'

The Montpellier venue is due to open towards the end of April 2025, with SoGlos revealing the opening date as soon as it's announced.
