“In 2000, Esquires Coffee, with its roots firmly established in Vancouver, established a presence in both the UK and Ireland. A critical decision for the company was to select the right coffee partners who shared our passion, ethos and values in terms of quality, sustainability and great-tasting coffee.
After extensive research we chose Matthew Algie – and 20 years on, the guiding principles that led us to this decision remain. From their state-of-the-art roastery to the sustainability programmes they operate: from the Fairtrade and Organic principles that produce such amazing bespoke blends for us, right through to their expertise on the ground across all our outlets, Matthew Algie have played a crucial part in our ongoing success.”

Matthew Algie have been our coffee partner for several years; from developing our origin sources for our unique triple-certified blend and supporting our bespoke packaging development they have supported SOHO on our coffee journey. We know we can rely on their expertise, transparency, and passion for coffee.”
