Inspired by my travels in early 2009; my passion for adventure and coffee developed into a desire to create something born from experiences.
Whilst exploring alone I found coffee shops to be the friendliest venue for the female single-traveller. Along the way I discovered a world of flavours, a coffee culture unique to each country, people enjoying time with their friends and loved ones and experienced unforgetable places. But despite their differences in service styles, presentation and taste, there was always one commonality – a love for coffee and tea.
I wrote down every recipe and every type of coffee concoction that I tried in my moleskin, and to this day each drink reminds me of a special memory; Cafe Blend helps me return to the people and the places that I met along the way.
Cafe Blend is a place to be enjoyed, a place you can love, can find your flavour – remind you of your fond memories and perhaps create some new ones over the aroma of your favourite coffee. For me, whenever a guest orders a certain coffee cocktail – I am reminded of amazing places, friendly acquaintances and I am here to ensure every coffee is served to perfection because that coffee is more than just a drink to be enjoyed; someone is drinking a memory and every coffee recipe is special; they have to taste as wonderful as the memory it represents.
We want you to find us to be your oasis among the daily grinds of life because the world is full of surprise; sometimes you need a place to get away.
It is for this reason why I introduced our unique service no other coffee bar offers – we provide choice, tasty treats, a home from home venue and a waiter service upon ordering.
Laugh. Enjoy. Be Inspired. Be adventurous. Be with friends – Come on in! Let us treat you.
