The roastery sits at Gwaelod y Garth, CF15 8LA, supplying the brand's own café in Canton and its market stall inside Cardiff Central Market, alongside wholesale partners, subscription customers and an online retail operation.

The brand has a clear personality: Welsh roots, a Run Club, barista courses, and a tone that is direct and self-aware.

The roastery is open to retail visitors Monday to Thursday, 9am to 3pm.
