Blind Owl Coffee

Blind Owl Coffee Co has been roasting from St Philips Marsh in central Bristol since 2018. They name their house blends after songs, a consistent thread that runs through the whole brand, and have built a small community around the roastery and shop, which serves as a retail space open to the public.

The business had a setback in August 2022 when a fire led to the installation of a replacement roaster and a period of closure, before reopening in May 2024. They raise money for UK music charities through coffee sales, a cause that is woven into the brand rather than bolted on.

Their sourcing spans El Salvador, Brazil, and Colombia, with processing information published for individual lots.
