Caring connection

Hãv Koffe is about connecting with people and the wider environment one cup at a time. We want to be a part of our communities in Warkworth and Northumberland adding to the sense of togetherness and shared values. We also want those who visit to feel part of the community, no matter how long your stay.

We are also committed to preserving and improving our shared environment for people, plants, animals and future generations. For his reason we strive for zero waste, we source responsibly and seek to use environmentally friendly products (often with the help of our partners, see below). Bob is also involved in a range of local projects. If you want to know more or have suggestions please get in touch

Great coffee means great connections and here are just some of the other people and organisations we work with…

Warkworth Castle

It’s a privilege to partner with Warkworth Castle in the heart of our village. A percentage of every sale goes to support the castle and the work of the charity English Heritage. Come along and visit this amazing baronial fortress-palace, one time seat of the Percy’s.

Mocha Mondo

Delighted to partner with speciality roasters Mocha Mondo from Amble. They roast carefully selected single origin beans (technically seeds!) while caring for the environment. Our friends at MM help ensure we always serve the most delicious koffe.

Storm Tea

Certified organic produce from the world’s only carbon neutral tea farm, Storm Tea offers sophistication that transports you with every cup. They are based in Blaydon

Lister’s

A family owned farm producing some of the best Crisps this side of the Humber. Eating Lister’s Crisps means you are supporting independent agriculture. They also name every potato (… I like to think they do )

Marlish

Fantastic waters from the Northumberland National Park taking over 150 years to slowly filter through the rock strata. Sustainably produced, sugar free & no artificials. We love Marlish
