About Us

Coffee

Community

Coffee

We carefully source our beans from a revolving list of independent, UK small batch roasters who go the extra mile to purchase sustainable coffee and reduce CO2 footprints whilst roasting to achieve interesting flavour profiles from seasonal coffee crops.  We are currently working with Climpson & Sons, a long established family business based in London

Retail

A beautiful, warm and welcoming space for hosting a wide range of  events from business meetings to private parties.  We regularly  host events such as life drawing, book club, French classes, poetry evenings and private parties.  

We also welcome our four-legged friends... and after a long walk in Christchurch Park, water, free dog treats, homemade dog cakes and dog beds are on offer!
