Paddy & Scott's
About us.
Not for the faint hearted... Paddy & Scott’s make coffee for the doers, the driven, the pioneers, the creators.
For the bold and the ambitious.
Paddy & Scott’s coffee is created to inspire and fuel those bold enough to make a difference. Every cup acts as a catalyst for ambition, a force for good that challenges the status quo and fosters positive change for coffee farmers, communities, and the planet.
2007
Back in 2007, Paddy, Scott and a black lab called Jessie looked on in astonishment at an old two kilo roaster named "Old Smokey."No customers and no idea where to source coffee a dream was born…
2012
Our mission to find the perfect coffee-growing partner took us across the globe, from India to Brazil and Colombia. It was a journey of discovery filled with challenges, cultural differences, and steep learning curves. Although we returned without securing a formal partnership, we came back inspired, unscathed, and brimming with ideas for the future.
2014
People loved our story as much as our coffee so it was a natural step to open our own Coffee Shops. Our first little coffee shop opened in our home town of Framlingham with a handful more appearing in the beautiful county of Suffolk.
2016
We proudly launched the Paddy & Scott's Barista Academy: Making sure the craft of brilliant coffee is at the heart of what we do!
2017
Our most exciting year yet! After travelling thousands of miles and learning countless lessons, we proudly launched our Kenyan Farm project—a world-first direct collaboration between a farm and consumers, featuring over 4,000 membership plots. Along the way, we met our new friends and partners, the Muchomba family, and their incredible community, whose dedication and spirit continue to inspire us.
Today
Fast forward to today: We’re more committed to our Fuelling Ambition mantra than ever before! We move our HQ over to the glorious Ipswich Waterfront and have our flagship coffee shop and Ambition Academy living and breathing within the University of Suffolk.
Oh yeah and we’ve also launched another mad world-first project to fund school meals in coffee growing regions around the world. Every bag of Lunch Box coffee we sell provides a meal for a child who needs it most.
Our coffee tastes better because it changes lives. Literally.
