Family-run bakery Birds is now serving coffee from renowned independent Nottingham roasters 200 Degrees Coffee. Birds has been serving the coffee in several of its stores since 2018 but thanks to significant investment in coffee machinery, all stores across Nottinghamshire and the rest of the East Midlands will now be offering hot drinks using beans produced by the specialist coffee roasters.
Customers will be able to choose from americanos, lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites, with prices starting from £2. Lesley Bird, chief operating officer at Birds Bakery, said: "We’ve been working with 200 Degrees since 2018, and thanks to a rising demand for coffee spots in towns and cities due to a thriving coffee culture, we have made them our exclusive supplier across all stores where we sell hot drinks.”
Although there are around 100 years between them, both local businesses were founded in the East Midlands from humble beginnings. 200 Degrees Coffee began with two men and a coffee roaster in a garage in Nottingham, whilst Birds began with three brothers and a small bakery in Derby. Both have remained passionate about bringing the finest possible products to the East Midlands, and beyond.
