About Urban Coffee Company

The Urban Coffee Company is located in the business districts of major cities outside London and provides coffee via our cafe emporiums and via our tasting club.

Urban Coffee’s whole life revolves around creating a unique coffee experience for the customer, it goes without saying that our coffee is the best this side of the moon. We have created a “wine tasting for coffee” experience that’s not available anywhere else on the high street or online. But that’s not enough; we want the customer to be at the centre of everything we did so imagine this;

Upstairs in the Church Street Cafe Emporium.
In our cafe emporiums our Urbanistas (what we call our Baristas) are people who are naturally happy, friendly and smiley who enjoy their jobs (We hire them like that – they are harder to find than you think). Our Urbanistas remember our customers names and their usual drink order so the customer feels at home and loved and best of all they have the experience to make you a great coffee.

So our customers can enjoy our coffee at home and work not just in cafe emporiums, we created the Coffee Connoisseurs Tasting Club. The club delivers single estate coffees to your door to experience on a monthly basis.

Our Story

Simon, Hannah & Amir

Amir & Simon have been in IT for over 10 years and until starting the Urban Coffee Company knew nothing about retailing coffee.

Both of us have spent a lot of time in London and have enjoyed some great independent coffee shops, but we have always struggled to find a decent cup of coffee outside of London. We also feel that the high street coffee chains have become the fast food equivalent of the coffee world and that customers deserve and want better. The UK has come along way with coffee in the last 20 years, from polystyrene cups all the way to a fairly sophisticated understanding of coffee. However, we feel it can be taken up another notch and that’s our intent; think wine tasting meets coffee.

So, unhappy with the quality of coffee on the average high street, we decided that the only way to get a decent cup was to start our own place. The Urban Coffee Company was born.
