YouTube sensation Specs Gonzalez has set up shop in Doncaster
A YouTube and TikTok star famed for his comic clips has opened his very own coffee shop in the heart of Doncaster.
London entertainer Specs Gonzalez has opened the store near to Doncaster railway station - and the new outlet is already attracting fans from across the country.
Situated in the former West Street Coffee in West Street, the new cafe features the internet star in its branding - with a huge mural of Specs painted on the side of the coffee shop.
Talking about the venture, he said: “I woke up one day and decided to open up a coffee shop because there’s no rules.
In another message he told fans: “I just opened up a coffee shop because I love smoothies.
Content creator Specs, whose real name is Ferdinand Umeh, transitioned from working as a London PE teacher into a mainstream online entertainer and is known for the No Rules show, a popular podcast where he interviews guests and shares bizarre personal stories with zero filters.
He also presents Scenes for Sky Sports, a digital match-day docu-series and was a breakout star on the Sidemen's massive reality show Inside. He has also hosted BBC Sounds' If Blackburn Signed Zidane and Channel 4.0's Hear Me Out.
His appearances earned him a double MOBO Award nomination for Best Media Personality and before social media, he was part of the UK grime collective Aftershock, working alongside major artists like Tinie Tempah.
The coffee shop is part of his expanding brand.
