We started roasting and retailing coffee in 1978. From the start we roasted in the basement of our shop on Monmouth Street, Covent Garden. Our aim was to
source interesting coffees, roast them daily and encourage our customers to taste our
coffees before they bought them. Almost thirty years later, having opened another shop
in Borough Market, we found that we had outgrown our basement in Covent Garden
and it was time to find a bigger space from which to roast. Late in 2007 we moved into
our premises on Maltby Street, Bermondsey. We have converted three railway arches
into a roasting site and wholesale offices and have a dedicated arch in which to train
our staff and our wholesale customers.
