About
Our story
We started Kingfisher Barn in 2019 because the coffee we wanted to drink wasn't easy to find. Five years on, we roast for forty cafés and ship to six thousand homes a month — and the standard hasn't moved.

From the people who drink it.

"We switched our wholesale to Kingfisher Barn two years ago. Consistency, communication, and the coffee is genuinely better."Sarah, Pophams Bakery
★★★★★
"My local. Good coffee, no nonsense, baristas who know what they're doing. Always a seat in the back."Tom, regular
Questions
Things people ask us.
We roast Mondays and Thursdays and ship the next day. Most orders arrive within 1-3 days of roasting. Every bag is dated.
Anytime, from your account. Going away? Skip a delivery. Got too much coffee? Pause for a month. No emails to send, no friction.
Yes — choose your grind at checkout (espresso, filter, French press, etc.) or keep it whole bean. Whole bean stays fresher longer.
5kg per week for cafés. We supply 1kg bags or whole-bean by request. Get in touch via our wholesale page for current pricing.
Absolutely. The Wi-Fi works, there are plug sockets at most tables, and we don't time people. Lunchtime gets busy — bring headphones.
We ship to the EU, US, and Australia. Shipping rates and times shown at checkout. Subscriptions currently UK-only — sorry about that.
