Department Of Coffee and Social Affairs

HospitalityUnited Kingdom51-200 Employees

The first Department of Coffee and Social Affairs opened in East London’s iconic Leather Lane Market in late 2010. It was the culmination of 18 months work spent searching for the perfect site and perfecting our craft. As we grew, we quickly understood that whilst a good site and quality coffee were crucial, the key ingredient to success was our people. The enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism each member of our staff brings help define and differentiate us in a quickly growing market.

We’re a growing independent business and our ambition is to bring Department of Coffee and Social Affairs to as many people as we can. Each of our shops has its own personality, our philosophy is that no two shops should ever look alike, but we believe that whenever you come to any Department of Coffee and Social Affairs you will consistently find our own great coffee and our great people.

As an organisation members of our team are both board members and volunteers for a number of national and international charities. These include the award winning UK Charity Pump Aid,which provide safe clean water to over 1.35 million of the poorest people in Sub-Saharan Africa. We fund homeless meals for the Central London Rough Sleepers Committee events which are held every 2 weeks in Oxford Street providing hot meals and support to rough sleepers, where our staff are regular volunteers at these meals.

We provide mentoring and administrational support to The Afri-CAN Charity. Their mission is to create, finance and mentor sustainable programs, NGOs and social ventures in Sub-Saharan Africa to alleviate poverty and hunger, to improve education, to provide skills training, and to provide employment. They focus on the poorest communities in Sub-Saharan Africa and The Afri-CAN Charities beneficiaries are aged 1 to 75.
