Introducing Stein’s Coffee Shop in Padstow
23.03.2021
We’re proud to be opening a brand-new speciality coffee shop in Padstow on 7th April. Working with Cornish-born world-class coffee roasters Origin Coffee, Stein’s Coffee Shop marks the arrival of the first speciality coffee shop in the area.
Spearheaded by Charlie Stein – our Director of Drinks – the launch aims to bring Cornwall some of the very best, ethically-sourced coffee from the Certified B Corporation roastery, and its global producer partners. Housed in our former Patisserie, the building has undergone a complete redesign by our Directors of Design, Jill and Ed Stein. A mason and carpenter by trade, Ed Stein has built a stained wood service bar with bespoke zinc countertop – complementing exposed brick walls and the modern, paired-back style of the shop. Wooden benches sit in the shop’s windowfront overlooking the cobbled streets of Padstow, bringing a little LA café culture to Cornwall.
Stein’s Coffee Shop brings a simple menu of premium single-origin coffee selected by Charlie and Origin. Three single-roast coffees will be used for each of the core milk-based, black and filter coffees. Championing exceptional quality, sustainably-sourced coffee, each cup will be uniquely influenced by the terroir of its origin, connecting drinker with producer. The house filter coffee will change regularly, working with the best in season, and white-based espresso drinks will be made using 1942 family-farmed Das Almas from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Sourcing milk from the local St Ives dairy, Trink, and using industry-leading coffee machine, the La Marzocco KB90 with inbuilt portafilter, will make the Rick Stein Coffee Shop a destination for some of the very best coffee in the South West.
Focussing on coffee-to-go, with a few tables for sit-in dining, the food menu will feature elevated all-day favourites. Baked sweet and savoury pastries, Reuben bagels and sandwiches filled with local crab, Cornish gouda, pork and warm apple chutney and clam chowder and crusty rolls. There will be ice cream from the luxury soft-serve brand Happy Endings.
The partnership with Origin is a natural fit – with two of Cornwall’s most establish and long-standing food and drink brands joining forces to champion the best of the county.
On the launch of the new coffee shop, Origin founder Tom Sobey says:
“I’ve worked with Steins for many years and this new collaboration with Charlie has been incredibly exciting to work on. It brings together the very best in speciality coffee; an exceptional coffee menu, world-class machinery, talented baristas and delicious food all within a stunning coffee shop interior. It’s testament to Stein’s progressive vision.”
And Charlie Stein says of the launch:
“Tom and his team at Origin have been the perfect partner for our new venture. We’ve worked together for over 15 years already, and I’ve always been impressed with their unrivalled knowledge of and enthusiasm for great quality coffee. I’m extremely proud to be opening our first speciality coffee shop in Padstow and to be working with such excellent Cornish businesses.”
We hope to see you for coffee in Padstow soon.
