Crumb & Brew

19/01/2024

Hello IG, its been a minute. And we come bearing news. After 3 years of pulling some of the finest brews across Suffolk & Essex, we’re closing our doors.

A lot has changed since that first day in December 2020. After much deliberation of what’s next, how do we grow, how do we do more but not compromise on seeing our family less etc… we have poured our last brew!

It’s been a heck of a ride. One we never thought would show and teach so much. Meeting customers who have turned into life-long friends (yep, you’re stuck with us!) We’ve worked with some truly amazing people ❤️ Laurel, Adam, Liam, Zoe, Rich, Alice, Mum, thank you to you all!

Poured hundreds of coffees across the region’s most renowned shows.. Made coffee for celebs, supercar launches, new home launch events, Weddings, birthdays and most importantly of all, our community. A community who we got to know during a pretty difficult patch of lockdown life. A community who supported us from day one and helped us establish a name for great coffee.

Those days of posting our locations and you following us around the area seem like only a blink of an eye ago. And yes, whilst life returned to ‘normal’ and coffee shops became more fashionable than pulling up to a van in a freezing car park. We pivoted and changed our business to become what we did - we will never forget those early days.

Above all, we got to spend an amazing 3 years working as hubby & wife! Something we will never look back on with anything but smiles 😊

The van and cart will be up for sale in the coming weeks, if anyone is interested please email us as following this post, IG will not be monitored.

Thank you all ❤️

Super excited to be back for the festival this weekend! 👌

Our third year serving among some of the region’s finest producers, makers & traders 😊

Manningtree, we’re coming for you!

We are super excited to announce an upcoming pop-up 🙌 Right here in our hometown where it all started with our good friends .arts ❤️

Anyone who has followed us since the start knows that our love for sharing great coffee started in this very town. Anyone who also saw us at an event last year probably saw Zoe, a superstar Barista and the exceptional talent behind Manningtree Arts!

So combining both our loves of delivering exceptional coffee to our small town, we are excited that for one weekend-only between Friday 29th September through Sunday 1st October, we will be serving coffee in her beautiful shop!

Expect amazing coffee. Great cakes and wonderful smiles in a beautiful setting. If you have never visited MA, set this weekend in your diary to grab a coffee, browse the book shelves and explore our wonderful town.

We have some cool things planned and would be wonderful to see some familiar faces. We’re also looking forward to meeting many new ones 😊

Look forward to seeing you then!

It’s never really been about ‘just’ the coffee for us. It’s about the experience it creates.

It helps make those Monday blues float away. It helps teams come together. It helps clients connect with their customers. It helps parents have ‘me time’ whilst the babyccino does it’s thing.

It creates smiles 😊

So yes. We do have really great coffee courtesy of BUT we always have your experience as the first thing in mind.
