“We found Little Italy 6 years ago while looking for a roasters who would be more engaged with our business and assist us in growing our coffee sales. Right from the beginning they went the extra mile, not only providing a consistently high quality product, but also guidance and advice based on years of experience in the business. They worked with us as we doubled our sales and open a second café, and have become part of the family while at it. I can’t recommend Adam, Guy and the rest of the Little Italy team highly enough!”
