Cafe Partnership Program
Cafe Partnership Program
We supply cafes on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane with coffee, equipment and barista training, and we look after you once you’re up and running.
Since 2013
Supplying cafes
We started roasting because we couldn’t find the coffee we wanted on the Gold Coast. Cafes have been part of it from the start.
28+
Partner cafes
Most are on the Gold Coast, with more joining in Brisbane.
Loring
Our roaster
We roast on a Loring in Burleigh Heads. It lets us repeat a roast profile closely, so your blend stays consistent.
2026
Aus Roaster Champion
Our co-owner and Managing Director, Danny Andrade, won the 2026 Australian Roasters Champion title.
What a partnership includes
Every partnership starts with a proposal built around your venue: based on how many coffees you pour and what your customers drink. Most include everything below.
Equipment
We can invest in an espresso machine and grinders for your venue, or look after the equipment you already own.
Barista training
We train your team when you start, and again when new staff join.
Servicing and support
If your machine breaks down, we come out to fix it. If we can’t fix it on the spot, we bring in one of our spare machines so you can keep trading.
Someone to call
You’ll have one person at Blackboard to call, and they’ll know your venue.
Tea, chocolate and syrups
Certified organic tea, organic chocolate powder (50% cacao) and syrups, so you can order the rest of the drinks menu from the same place.
Sourcing
Where the coffee comes from
Our blends start with green coffee suppliers we work with closely. We cup and test coffees with them and choose the ones that meet our quality standard and fit our values. Price doesn't decide what goes into a blend; how it performs in the cupping does.
Our Limited Release and Special Reserve micro-lots come from producers we work with directly. Our co-owner and Managing Director, Danny Andrade, works with them on how those coffees are processed, often online through messages, photos and shared data. The producers run the lots on their own farms and make the processing decisions with us.
Both are roasted by the same team on our Loring in Burleigh Heads, with the same care whether it's a Special Reserve lot or the house blend in your hopper.
The coffee on your bar
Most partnerships are built around one of our house blends. If your customers want single origins too, you can add our traditional single origins, or the Limited Release and Special Reserve micro-lots.

That depends on whether you use our equipment or your own.
Our equipment. If we invest in equipment for your venue, the agreement usually runs for 3 years, and some partners choose 5. The length depends on your volume, the equipment and what suits you.
Your own equipment. You can buy our coffee with no lock-in contract. Or you can sign an agreement for better pricing and a support package: we service your equipment, train your staff and keep looking after your venue.
