Sharon

Owner

A big hello to Sharon

Sharon is the definition of a busy bee. Whether she’s behind the scenes, front of house, helping with the washing up or next door at Tisdalls, she is always on the go. Her passion and knowledge for wellness and lifestyle have been a real driving force behind Green Dot and what we stand for

How do you like your eggs in the morning, Sharon?

Fried and sunny side up

If you are in charge of the tunes, what will you hear?

It’s got to be ABC – The look of love.

I’m Sharon, I’m a partner in Green Dot!

My background is hairdressing. I’ve owned my own hair and beauty salon for since 2002, It’s right next door to the cafe, Tisdalls Hair & Beauty! I’ve also taught fitness and recently completed my yoga teacher training. I am also a qualified counsellor. I love hairdressing, but in later years I’ve had a real passion for health and wellness and had a dream of running my own healthy and tasty café. So, back in late 2022 the dream became reality.

Stuart

Owner

Heyyyyy Stuart!

Stuart has thrown himself into all things Green Dot and always brings his smile and humour to the day. We love his passion for all things natural and he’s always looking to create space for a lil bitta’ peace in our fast paced world. He even runs weekly meditation classes every Monday evening from the café!
Thanks for always being you, Stu!

I like mine scrambled on our delicious toasted sourdough!

If you are in charge of the tunes, what will we hear?

Always the Sun by The Stranglers.
Opening a place like Green Dot Café has been a dream for my wife Sharon and myself. We wanted somewhere that could provide tasty, healthy food and drink options, and we wanted it to be even more than that. We wanted a place that could host interesting events and bring people together in the community. It’s been great to add my Yoga classes (Thursday evenings) to the mix and also the two separate Soulful Warrior Women’s and Men’s groups  (Tuesday evenings) which I facilitate in the café. Watch this space for other new offerings!
Green DOT Café really is “Doing Our Thing” with love

Ché

Front of House/Manager

Say hello to Ché - pronounced Shay!

Lucky day for our Green Dot Cafe team when our gorgeous, over qualified, and star barista Ché came and asked for a job. On top of great coffee, quality service, and a talent for baking, Ché has joined as our in-house nutritionist!

A 1:1 can be booked with her for any of your nutritional needs or questions. Please enquire within, drop us a DM or call on 01279 898818

How do you like your eggs in the morning, Ché?

Perfectly poached and oozing over sourdough toast

If you are in charge of the tunes what will we hear?

Soft acoustic beachy vibes, or anything ambient that I can flow to

I’ve worked as a nutritionist for the last few years, but this year took a break from that to pursue my other passion – yoga. After returning from travels around India, Australia and Bali a couple of months ago, I was ready to put my barista skills back to work! I find there’s something just so therapeutic about making the perfect cup of coffee

As a qualified Nutrition Advisor and Yoga Teacher its no secret that I’m a sucker for all things health & wellness. The Green Dot ethos of using high quality, organic and locally sourced ingredients, cooking everything from scratch with no nasties aligns so perfectly with my own values. As soon as I walked through the door for the first time I just knew I had to work here. I love helping our customers make educated food choices based on their personal dietary and health requirements

Catarina (Cat)

Chef/Manager

Catarina (Cat)

Since I arrived in the UK in 2020, I started cooking on a daily basis in my job. From there I progressed onto becoming a chef.

I took the suggestion, because I love to cook healthy nutritious food from scratch and I also love the kitchen environment.

When I can, I dedicate my spare time to my other passion of art. Sometimes in different expressions, from painting, drawing and photography to poetry.

Whilst working at Green Dot, I have had an amazing opportunity to explore my passion for healthy and nutritious food. Here I am able to express my artistic side with the colours, textures & visual compositions that reminds us how beautiful nature can be!

Combined with the amazing coffee, cosy place, welcoming and lovely team and costumers ( especially the ones with pets ), Green Dot Café makes me feel that I am home.
How do you like your eggs? I like my eggs scrambled and creamy
If you are in charge of the tunes, what would you hear? Nothing is more energising than starting the day with Metal Core.

Bruno

Chef

Say hello to Bruno

Bruno moved to the UK 7 years ago from Brazil. Bruno has a passion for cooking he has the most amazing ideas from travelling the world and trying all different dishes.. So watch this space

Thanks for being you Bruno!

How do you like your eggs in the morning Bruno?

Eggs in cocotte

If you are in charge of the tunes what will we hear?

When I was younger it would of been heavy metal

In my older taste it would be Sufjan Stevens or Ben Harper

I moved to the UK from Brazil, after studying as an architect for 7 years. I was not able to transfer my architect qualification to the UK at that time, where then I fell into cooking whilst new to living in London.

The Green Dot is a breath of fresh air, with creative, colourful cooking and fresh, local ingredients, each dish is made with thought and care. A very different environment for me and a chance to enjoy producing exciting, healthy dishes with a fantastic team. The Green Dot ethos runs through both the team and clientele, creating a little haven in Bishops Stortford that I love being part of.
