Work has started on building a Costa Coffee shop on Stevenage Leisure Park.
Complete with a drive-thru, the new outlet on the Kings Way leisure park will be sited where the Eastern Corner restaurant used to be, before it was demolished in 2020.
Stevenage Borough Council approved plans for the new Costa Coffee in May, and construction work is now under way.
The planning application says the development will "contribute towards the overall vitality and viability of Stevenage and represent sustainable economic development".
The council's planning officer said: "It is considered the proposal demonstrates high standards of design in keeping with the commercial character of the leisure park."
Costa Coffee already has outlets in Stevenage High Street, Queensway, 9Yards retail park - formerly the Roaring Meg - and Stevenage Railway Station.
