MEET THE TEAM 💫

Fireman Dave. What can we say? Our courageous Front Of House Manager takes a lot in his stride. From Flat Whites to Fire Marshalling, Cappuccino’s to community care he’s got it all covered, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have such an empathetic and dedicated member of the team directing our frontline. He lives and breaths logistics Dave does, and the proof is often in the pudding (or one of our delicious sausage rolls). 🔥

A talented graphic designer and (as I’ve recently found out) certified space nerd, he spends his time tending his growing houseplant collection, chilling with his cat Angela, and can often be found making friends with litterally every dog that visits the cafe .

It’s not easy being in charge of such a motley crew of baristas and we salute him for his monumental efforts over the last few years 🫡 As Dave often says: “I paid the cost to be the boss”. And he has. Thanks Dave. We love you. 🥰
