We still can’t quite believe it… 🥹

You may have heard the news - we came home with FOUR awards last night at the Orkney Food & Drink Awards!

Archive Coffee
🏆 Best Café
🏆 Best Kids Meal
Twenty One
🏆Best À la carte
🏆Best Bar Meal

We’re honestly still very much lost for words. Just being finalists in every single category we were nominated for was a huge acomplisment but walking away with four trophies still feels completely surreal.

This one feels extra special too - these are the very first ever awards for Twenty One. 🥹 We’ve dreamt of bringing those two trophies home for such a long time, so to actually do it… it’s just huge for all of us. ❤️

To our amazing staff - thank you doesn't really feel like enough. Every single one of you pours so much heart and dedication into what you do, and this is all down to you. We are so incredibly proud of every one of you - out front & behind the scenes.

Also..Congratulations to every single nominee and winner last night. Orkney is full of such talented, hardworking folk - it was an honour just to be nominated alongside you all.

And to our suppliers, our customers, and all the folk in-between - thank you for being part of our day to day, for your continued support and for playing your own part in helping us get to where we are today. We’re so grateful for you all. These achievements are as much about the community behind us as they are about the teams beside us. ❤️

We really do appreciate every single one of you

- Team Archive & 21 🖤🥂

We have a little change happening at Archive Coffee ☕️

After an awesome few years with us, we’re saying a huge thank you to Callum who has moved on to a new job. We wish him all the very best in his new role and are extremely grateful for all of his hard work!

At the same time, we’re very excited to share that Katie is stepping up into our general manager position at Archive! We are very excited for the future and are looking forward to Katie putting her own stamp on the role and continuing to help push us forward.

A big thank you to both Katie and Callum - one for everything they’ve given us, and one for everything still to come ⭐️

We were so grateful to have been contacted by The Press and Journal to share a few words about what makes our wonderful town of Kirkwall so special, as it celebrates making the shortlist for Scotland’s Town of the Year.

As owners of both Archive Coffee and Twenty One, we’re incredibly proud to be part of Kirkwall’s community, its food scene, its history and its ever-evolving story.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support local businesses and help make Kirkwall the place it is. 💙

Good luck Kirkwall 🥂
