Brand-spanking new roastery, Maryland, London
We roast award-winning coffee every day for you: It’s what gets us out of bed in the morning.
Exceptional Coffee Comes As Standard:
All our coffee comes from trusted farms and producers, who we work tirelessly with to create long-lasting, meaningful relationships with. It’s just how restaurants work with their suppliers, it’s exactly the same for us.
Traceability Matters:
Ethical coffee is key for us, and we always look for traceability reports. The farm-to-cup journey is crucial to the final brew.
Coffee Seasonality:
Coffee is seasonal. We introduce fresh crop beans throughout the year to ensure we are serving the most flavourful products possible. Each of our coffees (or hats, as we like to call them) has its own unique roasting profile, carefully designed to bring out its best flavour all year round. Hats off to our very brilliant roastery team.
Account Management
We provide top-notch account management: We love sharing our coffee with new people so each and every client, no matter how big or small, is very important to us.
Simply tell us what your business needs from us and our wonderfully well-mannered and approachable account team will recommend a Gentlemen Baristas package that’s right for you.
Once you become a part of our well-mannered coffee club, our first-class account managers are always here for a chinwag. Or - if you would rather - just drop us an email.

Training
We offer training for you and your baristas: Just like you, we want to make sure that our coffee reaches your customer in tip top shape. And that means right down to how it’s brewed by your staff.
