Coffee for bakeries · UK
Coffee for bakeries and multi-site cafés
Trusted by GAIL's, Ole & Steen, Fisher & Donaldson and La Barantine. Speciality coffee that matches the quality of your bake, made the same way in every shop, on machines that keep running.
Great baking deserves great coffee
For most bakeries, coffee is the drink on almost every ticket. When you have more than one shop, the hard part is making sure the flat white in your newest site tastes exactly like the one in your first.
That's what we do. We roast to order at our roastery in Glenrothes, Fife, train every team, visit your shops, and our sister company, Modern Standard Service, keeps the machines running. One partner for the coffee, the equipment, the training and the repairs, with no third-party service agents in the middle.
From Fife to London

Your own label
Own-brand espresso and filter in your own bags, as we do for Ole & Steen. We print our labels in-house, so custom labels are quick to produce.
The same cup in every shop
Shared recipes, regular coffee audits and account visits keep every site on the same standard as you grow.
