Garage Coffee are speciality coffee roasters, founded in 2015, and based just up the road from Canterbuy Tails in Hoath, Kent. Independents supporting independents - we love it!

"We roast in small 12kg batches for optimum quality, and only roast specialty grade coffees which are always fully traceable and fairly traded. Since launching, we have been building relationships with farmers, and sourcing coffee from the same farms season after season, with plans to make trips to these farmers in the near future!" - Garage Coffee

And we partner in more than coffee! As you'll see around our cafe we use the empty coffee sacks Garage has from importing their coffee beans, and recycle them into homemade eco-friendly cat scratchers and furniture! We use them to wrap our homemade climbing apparatus and gorgeous wooden beams to create climbing spaces and enrichment for the cat crew. This helps us and garage keep everything green, circular, and as zero waste as possible.

All our cafe furniture is second hand fur sustainability, and becasuew we love things with history (like our 600+ year old building!). Also, as our cat crew will destroy everything eventually, sourcing second hand means we arent creating additional waste by buying new that we eventually will have to throw away and replace. We give purpose to second hand items and a second lease of life, enriching their history and ours.

The only 'new' fixures of our cafe are our disabled loo suite and kitchens - for hygiene and reliability purposes. Kitchen cupboards & drawers, unit shelving, most large appliances, and worktops were sourced from IKEA because of how customisable they are - which is perfect for our building's 'interesting' layout with need to make the most of our smaller kitchen space, and for their sustainability efforts across the board.
