Ovenbird Coffee Roasters is a Glasgow-based artisan coffee firm which aims to reduce the snobbery and expense associated with speciality coffee and has diversified into whisky coffee. It was founded in 2013 by Davide Angeletti, initially roasting coffee from home before acquiring business premises in November 2015.
Davide’s Whisky Aged Coffee, developed in partnership with Auchentoshan and Laphroaig distilleries, is now sold in Michelin starred restaurant, Hakkasan, and will be stocked by shops at Edinburgh and Stirling Castles from early 2018.
Davide’s entrepreneurial journey has come with the support of two business loans from Glasgow-based responsible finance provider, DSL Business Finance Ltd, which provided a business loan in November 2015 to enable Ovenbird to move into business premises, and a second loan in 2017 to enable the firm to invest in a larger coffee roaster to meet increased demand.
