Social Impact Coffee

Social Impact Coffee is a specialty roastery with a big idea. That every cup of coffee served shouldn’t just taste good but should do good.

65% of their profits go into local community causes – which you choose (more info coming soon).

Social Impact Coffee is now being served in Gulbenkian Café and the new TukTuk in Hut 8.

Garage Coffee

Garage Coffee, founded in 2015 by Luke Underdown, is an artisan coffee roaster based in Hoath, Kent. Known for sourcing high-quality beans and roasting in small batches, they focus on freshness, flavour, and sustainability.

Starting from local markets, they quickly expanded, opening shops in Canterbury, Whitstable, Margate, and Herne Bay.

Garage Coffee serves both retail and wholesale customers, offering a range of carefully crafted blends and single-origin coffees with a commitment to ethical practices.  

We currently serve Garage Coffee as part of our delivered internal catering offer.
