WHO WE WORK WITH
Our Suppliers
We are incredibly lucky to work with a group of suppliers who take their products just as seriously as we do. Sustainability is always at a forefront with many of these brands as well as the quality of their products.
Cornwall, UK
We have been working with Origin for 8 years, they are a huge part of our story and a big part of Society. From our training programme to our bespoke sourced coffee, Origin are involved in almost everything we do.
Founded in 2004 by Tom Sobey, Origin Coffee is one of Europe's leading speciality coffee roasters. Leading change in the industry for nearly two decades, Origin remains committed to a pursuit of coffee excellence bound by one central ethos--to source, support, and champion farmers and producers through a sustainable, triple-bottom-line approach.
Now, with a team of coffee professionals, a world-class coffee programme, seven coffee shops, and an ever-evolving product range, Origin sits proudly as one of the longest standing speciality coffee roasters on UK shores.
Bruton, UK
We work with Bruton Dairy in our Bristol locations. We were blown away by the quality of the milk from Bruton - we use their unhomogenised whole and skimmed milk behind the bar. It is intensely creamy and steams beautifully - it is a pleasure to work with such fantastic, local dairy farmers.
Cornwall, UK
The second dairy we work with are Trewithen. Founded in 1967, Trewithen are based down in Plymouth, Cornwall and are receivers of many great taste awards. In collaboration with STORES Supply, we use a barista-focused 4% homogenised milk in our Bath and Cheltenham shops.
London, UK
The Estate Dairy is a collective of young passionate individuals dedicated to producing and bottling the highest quality milk and cream. They source the richest milk from small, local family farm holdings that share our ethos for quality and sustainability. It is a pleasure to work with the team from Estate in our Oxford shop.
Bath, UK
Teahouse Emporium have been part of the Society family since day 1!
A fellow Bath business, the team at Teahouse have supported us through it all. They began sourcing high quality teas in 2005 and we have had the pleasure of trying (pretty much) everything on their extensive offer list. They are incredibly passionate about their product and their shop in Bath is so beautiful - make sure to pay them a visit next time you are in town!
Bath, UK
Another beautiful Bath business that we have the pleasure of working with. With years in the Bath hospitality industry, Ash spotted a gap in the market for a Masala Chai syrup that was free from additives and was made only from the good stuff. It forms the base for our Chai Lattes and is a real hit in the shops, we love using it and our customers love drinking it.
London, uk
We were beyond excited when STORES made their way to the South West in 2022. They have been a great addition to our partners at Society in recent years and have helped us create an incredibly exciting soft drinks offering whilst also creating connections between us and Trewithen Dairy. STORES are incredibly important in what we do - they provide all our alternative milks, soft drinks, packaging, ancillary products. They really are the top dogs at what they do, and it is a real pleasure to work so closely with them.
Bruton, UK
We joined forces with The Chocolate Society in 2022 and we absolutely love working with them. Alisdair and the team are fantastic at what they do, from malt balls to truffles, chocolate bars to the drops we serve in the shops - they do it all. Nestled into the Somerset countryside, a chocolate factory that even Mr Wonka would be proud of. We have the pleasure of visiting regularly and sampling some of their upcoming bars. Our chocolates are carefully selected by The Chocolate Society, and we are currently showcasing their 41% milk, 72% dark and our white chocolate, all of which are sourced from Colombia.
