Our story Specialty Coffee from Colombia to London
At Amar Cafe, we’re passionate about sharing the authentic flavors of Colombian Specialty Coffee. Founded by Lore Mejiaand Sean Rafferty, Amar Cafe began with a unique story. Lore, originally from Colombia, was covering a news story on coffee farmers when she and Sean, who was traveling through Colombia, were inspired to bring the taste of Colombian coffee to the UK. What started with the iconic red telephone box cafés in London has now evolved into a thriving coffee business.
Though they initially expanded to locations like Stratford-upon-Avon and Greenwich, Lore and Sean have shifted their focus to their primary indoor café in Chelsea, alongside their growing role ascoffee importers and roasters.
Today, Amar Cafe imports and roasts the finest single-origin Colombian coffee, such as PacamaraNatural and Pink Bourbon Natural, delivering high-quality, ethically sourced coffeeto both retail customers and wholesale clients. For those who love convenience, our Specialty Coffee Subscription ensures fresh, seasonal coffee delivered to your door every month. You can also enjoy our Single Origin Coffee Capsules, offering the same rich flavors in Nespresso-compatible pods.
Whether you’re visiting us in Chelsea or enjoying our coffee at home, Amar Cafe offers an unparalleled connection to the farms where our coffee is grown. Join us in celebrating the craft and heritage of Colombian coffee, with every cup we serve.
