What to expect

What you'll find when you walk in.

Coffee for the coast

Speciality espresso, iced matcha and cold-brew - built for sea air and slow walks.

A terrace for people-watching

Around 24 seats just off the Grove - a flat white in your hand and the whole street as your view.

Daily counter

Pastries, pots and a small grab-and-go selection - no full kitchen, on purpose.

While you wait

A look around the Blend world.

Until our door opens on The Grove, here's a sense of the coffee, the food and the places we build. Real shots from Southbourne will land here as the build progresses.
