Local Legends
Nobody builds a coffee scene alone. These are the roasters, makers and local clubs we work with, buy from, and shout about: the people making Ashford and Kent better. Go support them like they support us.
Our roaster

Coffee friends
Magic Beans Coffee
A micro roastery on a countryside farm, roasting ethically sourced coffee in small batches to unlock each bean's full character, from bright, fruit-forward coffees to rich, chocolatey brews. Fellow independents flying the flag for proper coffee.
