Craft House Coffee
The heart of every great cafe has to be the coffee and we searched far and wide to find the best premium and ethical coffee out there. Introducing Craft House Coffee which provides high-grade, 100% Arabica beans, and knows exactly where the beans come from. No exceptions, no short cuts. And what’s best? The coffee is all roasted at farmsteads on the South Downs so it is also as local as we could find. All our staff have been barista-trained by Craft House themselves.
Our Suppliers
Blue Door Cafe is committed to championing local suppliers wherever possible and are proud to be working with the following from our launch. We will also be adding new local stockists regularly so watch this space.
