Until 4

It’s our BIRTHDAY week 🎂 There’s Gesha on house espresso, billions of tasty things on the shelves and on the menu - we have not (in true Paradox fashion) organised very much of a celebration- regardless of aspirations to the contrary. But. Kat & Zain will both be in August 7th and there will definitely be a little something going on then 👀
Coming In Fresh This Week 👀
Birthday Week Gesha 🎂 El Oasis, Colombia, Washed Gesha from Special Guests
Notes of Apricot, Lemon and Coffee Blossom

Seven Years WTF ?!?!?!?

We’re *STILL* hiring. Freelance/Regular Weekends/Occasional Weekdays/Consistent Shifts For The Right People
Despite what my manager at wholefoods market told me back in 2010 - people are actually pretty hard to replace -
Especially when they’re as wonderful as the two people we’re attempting to…. Scroll for some details 👀 And then get in touch via email with a CV attached . [email protected]
We appreciate whimsy. Whimsy has the power to change the world guys
Our main focus is super high quality coffee made super consistently, with a generous dose of curiosity and attention to detail, hopefully in a joyous manner for all - and then after that it’s puppies of all ages of course
We like coffee. It’s kind of important to us- up until about a year and a bit ago it was literally ALL we did at the cafe. So it matters to us that it’s really really good. Even when there’s a coffee we don’t like- we want to know that it’s because it’s not for us, not that it hasn’t been made well.
We also sell a curated selection of books
We work with lots of different roasters, and recently started going steady with Special Guests to select exclusive house coffees
We brew a lot of filter, so experience and interest in filter, flavour and various methods is important to us
We can be a little busier at times, so an ability to enjoy smashing through queues and keeping each other and customers entertained is appreciated
We often get involved in events or throw our own, and we’re always open to ideas too
A love for the industry and all its wonderful people, knowledge of roasters, favourite cafes etc is 💕
Batch batch batch (we sell a lot of it)

Full moon ritual - *Charge your crystals (*restock the coffee shelves) Manifestation (of plentiful coffee deliveries) Gratitude (mainly for .coffee & refilling our empty shelves) *Cleanse the sacred space (*exit the cafe and go home)
P.s Double Women’s Crown from both of these guys coz it’s always a favourite

Marrakech by way of four really distinct cafes that we loved. There were a couple of others we had wanted to visit but honestly it felt nice on this trip to be amongst a small enough coffee scene to return to places we enjoyed more than once. To be clear this isn’t a list, and there is no order (aren’t those lists kind of silly?)
They do all have a few things in common obvs, super nice drinks, friendly people behind the bars, and they all just happened to be chill as hell (a welcome juxtaposition to the beautiful chaos and occasional torrential rain outside. .kawa
