In this episode of the London Coffee Podcast, we're talking with Jayne Cromwell, co-founder of Carnival Coffee Roaster. We're going to explore Carnival’s remarkable journey from a garden shed roastery during lockdown to one of South London's most community-focused coffee businesses, discuss building a coffee business through COVID, creating meaningful community spaces, balancing the needs of traditional coffee drinkers and curious coffee explorers, and why experiential coffee culture could play a vital role in the future of the high street.
From coffee blossom lemonade and coffee experiments to vinyl nights, jazz performances, and community events, this conversation offers a fascinating look at how coffee can bring people together and create lasting connections.
