Black Sheep Coffee

Black Sheep Coffee is a London-headquartered specialty coffee chain and roaster, with cafes across the UK, US and Middle East. The brand positions itself as a pioneer of specialty grade 100 percent robusta, claiming around 85 percent of its current coffee sales come from specialty grade robusta blends.

Its Robusta Revival sits at the higher caffeine end, while Blue Volcano is a 100 percent arabica option, and the range also includes Love Berries and Rebel Decaf. Beans, ground coffee and Nespresso compatible aluminium pods are sold via a direct subscription with pause, skip or cancel flexibility, alongside wholesale and franchising routes.

Cafes are known for Norwegian waffles and ceremonial grade matcha drinks. The business publishes annual Gender Pay Gap reports and runs a mobile app with loyalty points, student discounts and order ahead.
