Hej!

I'm René Fay, the owner and creator of Johansson's Café. I'm originally from the small town of Orsa in Dalarna, Sweden. I always had an urge to travel and having lived in various places around the world I first arrived in Horsham around year 2000. I spent years as Cabin Crew flying out of Gatwick and Heathrow but moved to Austria and started a Bed & Breakfast, Landhaus Fay, with my husband Mark in 2008. After 8 years, 2 daughters and a dog (!) we decided to move back to the UK. I always dreamt of opening a café so I did! We first opened our doors in September 2020 and it's been a rollercoaster of lockdowns, tier systems and all. But all in all, worth every second, I'm living my dream!
