Overview
Caravan Coffee Roasters is the coffee-roasting arm of Caravan Restaurants & Coffee Roasters, a London-based hospitality group founded in 2010 by three friends from New Zealand — Laura, Miles and Chris. The first Caravan opened in early 2010 on Exmouth Market in London, combining an all-day restaurant with a café and roastery. The group has since expanded across London and into Manchester, operating multiple restaurant locations while roasting coffee for retail, wholesale and its own venues. The coffee range includes signature blends and single-origin offerings such as Daily (a hazelnut, caramel and chocolate blend designed for both espresso and filter) and The Lady (a Myanmar single-origin with lychee, raspberry and honey notes, produced by an all-female workforce of 400 producers). Caravan sells whole bean and ground coffee in 200g and 1kg formats, offers subscriptions, and provides wholesale supply to other businesses. The company also runs a coffee school and hosts events. Caravan is a certified B Corp, emphasising responsible roasting, thoughtful sourcing and sustainability. Its coffee is roasted in London and shipped via Royal Mail and DHL, with free delivery thresholds and click-and-collect from the London roastery. The brand positions itself at the intersection of specialty coffee and relaxed, well-travelled all-day dining, with a warm, down-to-earth hospitality ethos.
History
Caravan began with three friends — Laura, Miles and Chris — who met while working in restaurants in New Zealand. Sharing a love of good food, great coffee and welcoming spaces, they moved to London and sought to create a place that combined all three: a relaxed but lively venue with bold global flavours and freshly roasted coffee at its core. The first Caravan opened in early 2010 on Exmouth Market in London. It quickly gained recognition for its all-day menu, laid-back atmosphere and pioneering approach to merging restaurant and café culture. Over the following years, Caravan expanded across London and beyond, adding restaurant locations while developing its coffee roasting operation. The coffee arm, Caravan Coffee Roasters, grew to supply both the group's restaurants and external wholesale customers, as well as retail consumers through an online shop. The company introduced signature blends such as Daily and single-origin offerings like The Lady, the latter sourced from Myanmar through a project championing women producers. Caravan became a certified B Corp, reflecting its commitment to responsible roasting, thoughtful sourcing and sustainability. The group operates restaurants in London and Manchester, offers coffee subscriptions, runs a coffee school and hosts private events. Its coffee is roasted in London and distributed via Royal Mail and DHL, with free delivery thresholds and click-and-collect from the roastery.
