We're very grateful to work with great people, because behind great suppliers and companies are always humans. It's really quite important to us that we work with good people who care very much about what they do.

No better example of this comes in the form of and of the inimitable Koppi Roasters

I will touch on that more but let's just say the guys at Koppi are people people.

Thanks to them we have enjoyed many years of delicious coffee from Finca El Porvenir in Colombia. The hard work of Sandra Milena Mora and Hector doesn't go unnoticed as we have absolutely loved their fantastic lots of Caturra as much as their more experimental Tabi and Pink Bourbon varieties.

To celebrate how good these coffees are we will be offering a tasting flight of coffee from Porvenir. Consisting of a double shot of Caturra on espresso, tasting like sweet Maple and Milk Chocolate with a beautiful mouthful and juicy berry acidity, a 4ish ounce Milk drink that really let's the comforting sweetness shine through and a cup of Pink Bourbon filter tasting delicate and tropical with satisfying floral aromatics.

Some more fun stuff on the way but we hope you'll love this lil tasting experience. (albeit you might need a b**r after to handle the caffeine - more on that later too).

What a beautiful day!

As the Summer Holidays start to wind down, we are excited for some Bright September days where the light is beautiful and there's an even slower pace, especially through the week - we love a buzz but it's also a pleasure to enjoy the sound of the sea and some calm.

But for now; it's still August, the sun is out and it's such a beautiful temperature. Open 7 days a week for brunch, bakes and brews. Let's make the most of it!!

We still have some space this evening(Thursday) and tomorrow for small plates and natural w**es (plus cocktails, b**rs and more). Saturday is busy but we have a few early slots available.

Whatever you get up to; Have a great weekend!!

Hola Mon Petit Angelitas,

Being multilingual in some strange way (maybe less so conventionally linguistically gifted) we wish to reflect on things and indeed stuff.

We closed for a lil break.
We will return.
We will return theoretically better rested.
We had a nice time.
We are very grateful for your support.
We have enjoyed serving you warm juice as well as cold juice and fun juice and all the juices in between.
We have also enjoyed sharing delicious solids with you too.

Honestly though, thanks again. Hospo is difficult as you may have read somewhere. (It is actually true and not just a wee jape). You guys make it worthwhile. You guys make it work. (As do our great team).

Lots more delicious solids and liquids in the post, possibly accompanied by other things and stuff.

Anyway, before I get vaguely sentimental.

See ye in a few weeks.

Took a bit of wrangling sorting the old nights...

I won't bore you with the details but it took about 5 plus years to put into motion. And I really love it!

Playing with amazing produce, working more closely with producers like to share more delicious bread and to bring good people together over some conscious food and drinks to enjoy flavour, friendship and shared experience.

With that all in we are proud to work directly with and more to bring you w**es produced with as much thought and care as the coffee, bakes and food we've always celebrated.

More on that later, but for now, if you'd like to get amongst it, we're slinging plates every Thursday- Sat now til Christmas (brunch everyday) and some more dates after (check out earlier post).

Dm to book or hit the email button in our bio.

Some dates are filling fast so don't nap too long if yer hankering.

Hanx.

Delighted to share all the lovely traders that will be joining us on Wednesday 17th December for our annual Christmas Twilight Market.

It's a bit earlier this year but this night is absolutely spilling over with good vibes and Christmas Spirit and always marks the proper in the swing of the season for me anyway.

Always a pleasure to share the evening with a diverse mix of Independent Businesses run by people with Hearts and Hands and amazing talents, passion and skills.

We will be slinging our homemade Mince Pies and Bakes along with Mulled w**e, Orange and Cardamom Hot Chocolate, Mulled Plum and Apple steamers and more.

We will have a great selection of retail coffee and brew kit for additional gifts and will be pouring some tasty Natural W**es all to a Festive soundtrack that I promise won't contain any more than 1 Bob Dylan Christmas song.

Bunch of wee beauties.
