The Little Local

On the podcast today, we're speaking with three successful independent London operators to uncover the secrets to a thriving neighbourhood cafe and the role coffee shops play within the local community.

In conversations with Peter Dore-Smith, Founder Kaffeine, Kim Hargreaves, Founder and Managing Director, Boki Coffee, and Dani Reid and Agnes Potter, Co-founders, Potter & Reid, we discuss how to build a loyal local following, foster meaningful interactions between customers and staff, and find out why these entrepreneurs have chosen not to rapidly scale their business.
