About us.

  

Founded in 2015 by Luke Underdown, Garage Coffee Roasters is a speciality coffee roastery based in Sturry, just outside of Canterbury, Kent. Owner & Founder Luke identified a gap in the market to bring great coffee to the people of Kent, and started trading at local markets and events to build the Garage brand. By 2016, Garage Coffee had gained a significant following and started to supply some wonderful hospitality businesses across the county.

In 2017, Garage Coffee opened it's first shop the heart of Canterbury and has now built a team making great coffee and sharing the same vision across our shops in Canterbury, Whitstable, Margate and Herne Bay!

We roast in small 12kg batches for optimum quality, and only roast specialty grade coffees that are always fully traceable and fairly traded. Since launching, we have been building meaningful relationships with producers, sourcing coffee from the same farms season after season.

And finally, why "Garage"? Our very first roastery was in a converted garage! While we've since outgrown that space, the name stuck. We've now relocated to a spacious converted oast house that accommodates both our growing roastery operations and a brand-new café.
