Our Story
Hi, I’m Danielle.
I founded Danielle’s Coffee in 2010 with one simple goal: to help independent businesses serve coffee they’re genuinely proud of.
My journey into coffee began in 2005 when I moved from my hometown of Bridgnorth, Shropshire, to Padstow, Cornwall to work with Rick Stein. What started as a role in hospitality quickly became a passion. I became Rick Stein’s Head Barista and Trainer, and from there my career in speciality coffee continued to grow.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience almost every part of the coffee industry. I’ve worked as a barista, launched and managed a coffee shop from the ground up, roasted coffee, trained baristas across the UK, reached the UK Barista Championship Finals twice, judged competitions as a UKBC Sensory Judge and Committee Member, and become an Authorised Trainer for the Specialty Coffee Association. Every step of that journey has given me a deeper understanding of what it takes to create exceptional coffee and run a successful coffee business.
But the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that great coffee is about people.
That’s why Danielle’s Coffee is built around relationships.
