Our Story

A combined passion for Coffee, Quality and Building something from the ground up is all it took to breath life into what is now known as Crown & Canvas.

A small idea, fuelled by a continuous drive to grow, improve and never accept 'Good Enough' as an answer, has kept us moving daily from a single person roasting coffee out of hours with a hope to cover our costs, to a team supplying coffee wholesale & retail across the UK & Europe.

While never forgetting our roots, as a family owned & operated, independent coffee roaster.

With a mission to build connections and relationships through coffee, we work hard to build a consistently unique coffee offering throughout the year of rotating Single Origin coffees, and staple Espresso Blends, to suit the evolving needs of independent coffee shops, cafes, restaurants and hospitality businesses.

What we mean, by Full Circle.

At Crown & Canvas, our journey is more than just about brewing exceptional coffee. It's about embracing the entire journey, and completing the circle with dedication. We understand the importance of every element in this intricate process – from sourcing the finest coffee from select farms across the globe, to the meticulous roasting process, ensuring a seamless supply chain, and finally, serving you the perfect cup. 'Great Coffee, Full Circle' isn't just a slogan; it's our commitment to leaving no crucial element unattended, for the benefit of us, our valued producers, and our customers & wholesale partners across the UK & Europe.

Home Sweet Home

We secured our little industrial unit, and began clearing it out, decorating and prepping it anticipating the delivery of our new coffee roaster.

Covid-19

March 2020

In March of 2020, the Pandemic gripped hospitality completely, and as a 3 Month old business we had to adapt quickly. We opened our Webstore in April 2020 and began selling direct to the Public, to this day many of our regular customers discovered us throughout the Pandemic.

2021

In 2021, we saw what would be our first 'Normal' year, yet it was far from normal still. We continued to grow and saw us produce 3000kg of coffee, 300% of what we produced in 2020, and partnered with Espresso Machine manufacturers Sanremo.
