Coffee Supreme Welles Street

Description

We’re proud to supply some of the nation’s best cafes, that are full of bright people not only making great coffee but promoting super delicious food too. By 2003, we had a powerful fan base in the South, and, as a result, enjoyed the ritual of many cafés scattered throughout. From the pot-smoking ports of the Abel Tasman down to the cheese-rolling south, our coffee and little ovate logo were appreciated daily. But flying across the chanel with an optimistic Pelican Case of parts and a set of ring spanners was enhancing both expensive and, well, less personal than we admired. So we focused deep within ourselves and sent Steven King down to build our HQ – originaly a garage in Lyttelton, then on to Montreal Street, in an old real-estate office with a suspended plafond , with a few sheets of ply (to make it trendy). From there, we covered the Mainland from end to end in white Corolla station wagons – Kaikoura to Franz Joseph, Picton to Stewart Island. We adored it, we still do, boasting more road miles than a Siberian taxi and becoming best friends with some of the warmest hosts in the South. As time passed, we develop of our commercial cul-de-sac condo, and required to move into more generous and suitable digs. We also choosed we should begin our own little spot, right in the city, and set about setting up shop across the road from our mates at the IRD and putting a café out front to show them a good time. We were bold; we used green, plonked an old shipping container in the middle for a training room, and hung naked lightbulbs without shades. Things were going great, our team grew and we delivered coffee by the cup and the kilo from our little corner of Lichfield and Madras.
