MISSING BEAN COFFEE ROASTERS

Missing Bean were the first to bring speciality coffee to Oxford when they opened their original Café back in 2009, and also became the City’s first coffee roasters when they began roasting in 2014. Since then, they have fuelled not only local Oxford residents, but the whole county with new Cafés popping up in Abingdon, Banbury, Botley & Woodstock (with more on the way!). As well as this they have a wholesale base across the UK and a busy online shop allowing their beans to be enjoyed at home.

Direct-trade coffee is at the heart of everything Missing Bean do, and allows them to share ethically sourced, sustainably grown beans with the masses. It’s these direct relationships with the farms, the farmers and their families, which set Missing Bean apart and is also evident in the way they work alongside suppliers and customers here in the UK too.
