Our story

A small room with a
big obsession.

Wren began with one idea: a café where the coffee is taken as seriously as the welcome.

We roast in small weekly batches, bake before the sun’s up, and pour with the patience the bean deserves. No queues out the door for the sake of it — just a quiet, good room and a cup worth lingering over.

The beans

Roasted in-house,
weekly.

Three single origins on bar at any time. Pick a roast and watch the profile change — each one roasted to bring out what makes it itself, never burnt for the sake of strength.

Balanced and sweet — milk chocolate, toasted almond and red apple. Our everyday cup, equally at home black or with milk.
