Zarraffa’s Coffee new headquarters houses a modern open-plan head office space, combined with its multi-million-dollar coffee engine room – the Zarraffa’s Roastery – with an expanded warehousing, packaging, and distribution hub. The move has been staged over the past 12 months, relocating from the Gold Coast to Logan Shire, to establish a robust national base for its 90 plus stores across Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.
Managing Director and Founder of Zarraffa’s Coffee, Kenton Campbell, said it was a well-planned process that will future-proof the needs of the coffee franchise chain for many years to come. Mr Campbell opened the first Zarraffa’s Coffee store in 1996 and has steered the business into a $140 million turnover operation and said it was after ensuring the Zarraffa’s business had the right home that he was able to start thinking about new opportunities. Opening its doors this week, Kiwanda is the manifestation of Mr. Campbell’s love of coffee, an exciting curation of the company’s knowledge in this space, and a specialty coffee offering like no other; situated adjacent to the Zarraffa’s offices in a voluminous industrial atrium space.
With seating for ninety diners, Mr. Campbell believes Kiwanda will deliver a new coffee and dining experience for Queensland’s south-east, epitomising Zarraffa’s twenty years of specialty coffee know-how with a fresh, bespoke dining experience, designed as a space to discover, explore, share and connect. Located midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Kiwanda has a multi-zoned footprint with its signature fireplace and vaulted, exposed ceilings that take in views of the Zarraffa’s Coffee Roastery through the four-metre-high glass windows.
Mr. Campbell said that delivering an exceptional coffee product has always been at the core of the Zarraffa’s business and that Kiwanda is an extension of that ethos. Kiwanda Café is approximately 1,200 sqm, including an Espresso Bar specifically for beverages and light snacks, and the Kiwanda Kitchen and Bar that presents a range of gastronomical offerings and complementary beverages, including the signature Espresso Martini.
