About Routes Coffee

Routes Coffee began when two friends returned to the UK from Australia with a newfound love for truly good coffee. Along the way home, we passed through over 30 countries, learning directly from farmers, roasters, distributors, and baristas. That hands-on experience gave us a deeper understanding of what makes coffee memorable and what’s often missing in the UK market.

We spent time in some of the world’s most respected cafés from Singapore’s slick business districts to the side streets of Seoul and the back alleys of Beijing. What struck us most was the care and precision behind every cup, and the genuine sense of community that came with it.

When we landed back in the UK, we went looking for that same quality. Although we found a few great spots, most cafés fell short of what we’d experienced abroad. That gap sparked an idea to build a roastery grounded in ethics, flavour, and freedom of movement. Routes Coffee was born, blending our love of travel and coffee, and making great brews available anywhere, anytime, with minimal environmental impact.
