A small Birmingham coffee business with a bigger idea behind it. Kaur Coffee Co. combines speciality coffee, thoughtful ingredients and a genuine focus on community, both from its Kings Heath base and at events across the city.
There are plenty of places to grab a coffee in Birmingham, but Kaur Coffee Co. feels like it is trying to build something beyond what is in the cup.
Based in Kings Heath, Kaur Coffee Co. is a family-run independent coffee business serving speciality coffee and single-origin hot cocoa. Alongside its local setup, the team also operates a mobile espresso bar for weddings, festivals, corporate events, birthdays and private celebrations.
More than your standard coffee menu
The coffee menu covers the favourites you would expect, including flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes, Americanos and iced lattes.
Where things get a little more interesting is the hot cocoa selection. There are different single-origin options ranging from 33% Ivory Coast white chocolate through to an 82% Madagascar dark chocolate.
There are also extras such as oat milk, maple cold foam and organic maple syrup, giving people a little more room to make their drink their own.
The details matter
One thing that stood out to us was the attention Kaur Coffee Co. puts into the experience around the coffee.
They use La Marzocco espresso machines, carefully selected ingredients and organic dairy where possible. Their cups are also recyclable, compostable and biodegradable, reflecting the business's focus on reducing waste.
These might seem like small details individually, but together they tell you quite a lot about the kind of business Kaur Coffee Co. wants to be.
Coffee that travels
Kaur Coffee Co. isn't limited to one location either.
Their mobile espresso bar brings the setup to weddings, private parties, festivals and corporate events across Birmingham and beyond. It's a nice point of difference, particularly for anyone who wants something a little more memorable than the usual drinks station at an event.
What are customers saying?
At the time of our feature, Kaur Coffee Co. held a 5.0 Google rating from 23 reviews.
The comments we looked through repeatedly touched on the quality of the coffee, service and the people behind the business. One customer described it simply as a “small coffee shop with a big heart.”
That probably sums up the appeal better than we could.
Why it made Local Finds
For us, Kaur Coffee Co. represents exactly the sort of independent business Local Finds was created to uncover.
There's a clear identity behind it. The coffee is taken seriously, but so are the people drinking it. Add in the mobile events side, sustainability choices and involvement with the local community, and there's more here than simply another place selling lattes.
If you're around Kings Heath, it's one to have on your list. And if you're organising an event in Birmingham, their mobile coffee bar is worth knowing about too.
