Testimonials

“My daughter and I spent a delicious morning with the lovely Shaun in his ‘micro coffee shop’ sampling several of Arden’s delights. Our favourites were the milky bar hot chocolate and the hot chocolate with oat milk – what a delectable vegan suitable drink! And the Peru blend that I had been dying to taste after hearing my hubbie and Alex rave on about it – it certainly exceeded my expectations! The teas that tantalised our tastebuds were the turmeric, and citrus green tea blends, and, well just what can I say about the iced Persian Pomegranate Nitro…”
“I love pomegranate tea so was excited to taste an iced version. My only experience of iced tea is the American sort that looks very much like lemon tea. However this Nitro variety didn’t come in a pop can and there was nothing watery about it – apart from its health benefits. Shaun showed us a slender looking can resembling the type you find specialty gins served in. As Shaun poured the contents into a tall glass, the rich nitrogen infused red liquid could have been a fruit juice, a smoothie, a berry latte (if there’s such a thing)or even a cocktail (it certainly had an air of sophistication).”
“It certainly couldn’t have been any further from the Lipton tea I remember drinking in the nineties. And not only was it a feast for my eyes: the velvety drink left a depth of flavour that was as complex as a quality claret. Only, it was a non alcoholic brew with all the health benefits of water and only 2 calories. Such things from a chilled cuppa! For me, it is definitely the gin of the tea world!!”
“Cheers Shaun for introducing me to my new favourite tea xx”

“I have always found Arden Coffee to offer a high level of service. I recently required a small repair on my coffee machine, at short notice they agreed to look at it with one hour. This allowed me to continue trading with no disruption to service”

“When we go to the market place for new suppliers we always look for those who can go the extra mile, that is be a partner rather than just a supplier. Working with Arden coffee is just that, a partnership that is built on trust, like minded interest and a desire for a good product and a good service. We would have no hesitation in recommending Arden coffee to anyone who is thinking about a new supplier for coffee products”

“So today I contacted the lovely Shaun of Arden this morning. We needed our machine looking at and we also needed some more coffee beans. I was in no way expecting to see Shaun turn up this afternoon to look at the machine as well as have a box of beans in hand!! I was and have been incredibly impressed with the service from Arden and particularly Shaun. He is by far an amazing asset. Thanks Shaun and thanks Arden!”

“We have had such a great experience of working with Arden Coffee right from the start of our journey in opening up Pelham Kitchen – a little Social Enterprise Café run by Nottingham Community Housing Association.

To begin with, we got great advice about what machines and products would best meet our needs, and had plenty of opportunity to choose coffee beans that we loved and wanted for our customers.

Arden also gave us lots of advice to help us get going, including guidance on pricing and how we could improve our customers’ experience.

We also had brilliant training from Shaun, which has enabled to us to deliver consistently great coffee to our customers, which is very important to us. We are all now very happy with our cappuccino skills!!!

The products are great too. We get consistently excellent feedback from our customers on our coffee, including from some proper connoisseurs, and even some Italian customers, which we think might be the greatest compliment of all!

The Novus teas are also lovely – right from a good, robust English breakfast tea, through to fruitier varieties that taste as good as they smell – again, all with really good feedback from customers.

As well as all of that, everyone at Arden has been lovely to work with – really friendly and helpful people who genuinely want to help us succeed. We would recommend them to anyone and look forward to working with them for a long time.

Thanks”

“Arden Coffee has supplied both my Coffee Shops for the last 20 years. They have always been very knowledgeable on all areas of Coffee and machinery in the Coffee Trade. They will custom blend strength requirements and my customers praise the coffee we sell. They sell a wide range of other soft drinks on-trend with today’s current market. They always come out quickly for breakdowns on machinery and give good advice and assistance when needed. I had a custom-made bright pink coffee machine from Italy many years ago and it is still going strong now, the creme de la creme of coffee machines and it’s fantastic making the best cappuccinos around! I can highly recommend Arden Coffee, Thank you to all the staff at Arden Coffee!”

“We are so happy we found Arden Coffee when we were setting up our coffee bar. Shaun and the team have been amazing and so supportive in every way. They provided us with the perfect espresso machine (at very short notice after being let down by another company) and beautiful accessories, along with a wonderful fairtrade coffee and fantastic teas we can be really proud of. We’ve had nothing but positive feedback and compliments from our customers since opening. Shaun is so knowledgeable and passionate and his training and advice are top quality. He is genuinely interested in the businesses he works with and stays abreast of current trends, and passes this knowledge on to his customers…. and he does all of this with a great sense of humor! Thank you to everyone at Arden Coffee, we don’t know what we would have done without you!”

“The team at Arden coffee has been amazing and it’s been one of my best decisions to buy my coffee machine and supplies from them. They have loads of knowledge and experience which have been so helpful as I’ve been setting up. When it came to choosing my machine, both Ash and Shaun really took the time to go through the different types of machines with me so I feel confident that I’ve picked the right one. Delivery and installation went really smoothly and the training by Ash was great.”

_“Starting a new coffee business was daunting, I wanted something different, a blend of coffee that wasn’t available in every shop that gave every customer an amazing coffee experience every time. I found that with Arden, they provided excellent customer support, from a training day, financial advice, to the installation and supply of the coffee machine and most importantly coffee beans. We are guaranteed next-day delivery of supplies, and without a doubt have the best syrups for our hot and cold drinks.
We look forward to a continued business relationship, and I am so grateful that we have found an exceptionally outstanding company to support our journey”.
Thank you again_

“I switched to Arden coffee earlier this year as their prices were very competitive and the quality of there coffee is extremely good. They are very easy to deal with and always available should we have any coffee questions. They have also been of great help during what has been a very difficult period by not charging the rent on the coffee machine during any periods we have had to close due to the pandemic. Which has been invaluable help to the business. I would strongly recommend this company to anybody wanting a coffee supplier.”

“Arden Coffee have gone above & beyond in supporting us with our mobile coffee van. From our start up idea through to launch, they were really helpful with sourcing a suitable coffee van, high quality coffee & ingredients along with advice and ad hoc support along the way. With Arden Coffees guidance, we selected a dual fuel coffee lever machine which meets our requirements perfectly as it allows us to be flexible to meet the demands of the events we attend. It was fantastic when our paid generator supply ran out of fuel at an event as it ensured we didn’t have an interrupted service.

On top of this, Arden Coffee provide an outstanding level of customer service and have consistently helped us with questions, advice and last minute stock requirements without hesitation.”_

“You have been there from the very start of our journey. KOO has become known for its fantastic coffees. So much so that the new owner will be continuing the KOO legacy with Arden (I think the customers would have something to say if not!)

You, Ash and Shaun have been absolute Stars! Thankyou so much for your support”_

_“I purchased a beautiful coffee machine from Arden Coffee and I’m so glad I did. Having no previous experience within this area, it was very important for me to feel supported at every stage of the purchase. From the type of machine that would best suit my requirements, though to the installation and practical use of the machine.

My purchase came with everything I needed to start up. I’ve had training using the machine from Shaun, who is very patient and really does know his stuff! The coffee beans are high quality and as for the hot chocolate, I haven’t tasted better. I’m sure I’ll have queries in the future, but I feel assured that the team at Arden Coffee are only a phone call away. I would highly recommend Arden Coffee as the service I’ve received has been first class”_
