New Business looking for coffee suppliers

[theduchess]

my first post on here!
I'm in the process of starting up a gift boutique with a cafe which will be baby/toddler friendly. I don't yet have premises as still in the financial planning stages and putting together my business plan (it all feels rather terrifying!)

Anyway I'm just wondering whether anyone can recommend a coffee supplier that they have used. Looking for a supplier that will provide support to staff in training with machines/ be fairly local (Brighton/ Hove) if possible and able to build an effective relationship with a new business.

Any ideas greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Recently I have been approached by a coffee company I trailed the product and customers loved it I am not sure if they deliver in your area but they are called Kimbo they have a diverse range and their prices are competitive.

whats wrong with the good old kettle and a jar of Nescafe, tastes better than the muck from starbucks and NO rental on machines and stuff.. just keep the kettle below the counter line and make lots of swishing noises as you stir it.. Punters wouldnt know the difference.

Thanks everyone!
Some really helpful links. Great to hear from helpful people as it can feel a bit isolated doing the business plan at the computer!

Nice quality coffee with a good flavour is as important as the price, imho. I don't have any recommendations for your area (we use Thomson's Coffee in Glasgow for that very reason.) I wish you all the best with your new venture - coffee/gift shops are a great combination.

I recommend that you start with the basics. Although it would be nice to travel around the country or around the world to sample the best that this industry has to offer, it is not necessary.

There is a company called Cardiff Coffee Pro. Bernard the owner is in the know about other companies and might even be able to assist you set up. website is as mentioned above.


Good Luck
