Your home away from home
Soft leather chair, café stool or private booth. Find your favourite spot and stay as long as you’d like.
Our goal since the very beginning has been to create a place that radiates comfort, relaxation and warmth. A place to meet friends, work or just watch the world go by. A local neighbourhood spot.
We are lucky to have some fantastic people in our company that bring this to life, giving each store its own character through a combination of personal service and unique design.
And, of course, great coffee.
Warmth and Character
We scour the street markets of Holland, Belgium, France and Italy unearthing interesting relics to give a sense of warmth and character to each store. And wherever possible, we restore the natural beauty in the buildings themselves. Authenticity isn’t always the easiest route, but we’re convinced it’s the right one.
What’s Changed: Guildford
During our refurbishment, we stripped our Guildford High Street coffee house right down to the original floors and old brick walls. In doing so, we were fortunate enough to find parts of the steel frame.
We decided to leave the view open, revealing the very core of this beautiful space, and the original name of the building as inscribed upon the pillars.
Our Coffee Houses
“Without music, life would be an error” – Friedrich Nietzsche
A careful balance of music is an essential ingredient to a great ambience. Through our music choice, we hope to encourage a tranquil, yet lively atmosphere with music ranging from easy listening, to light classical to acoustic.
Our greatest privilege is offering unknown artists the opportunity to showcase their talents monthly through gigs in our coffee houses around the world.
