First and foremost we are coffee geeks! We live coffee, we love coffee and we love talking about it.
We have roasted our own coffee for almost 20 years, and the surprising thing, the coffee taste has hardly changed during this time. Even though the size of our roaster has grown from the very small intimate 5 kilo Diedrich Roaster we started with, to the modern automated 45 kilo Diedrich we have today.
Back at the beginning we use to roast about 50 kilos of coffee per week at the back of our first Café, today, we roast over 1000 Kilos of coffee every week in our modern roastery.
This fresh coffee is available for you to purchase at every Sierra Café; the very same coffee used by the Cafes, every day.
The coffee is now roasted every day during the week, and delivered to the Cafes two times per week, to ensure it is the freshest it can possibly be.
We remain a Boutique roaster and group of Boutique Cafes.
We are so far removed from the other Franchised Cafes, that we prefer not to be included in that group!
Our Barista Trainer visits the majority of the Sierra Cafes every week, and monitors their Barista’s. He has trained every one of them, and keeps track of them all via a Barista Register.
As a result of this attention to the finished product, we can guarantee every cup of coffee in every Sierra café.
So, the coffee is without a doubt very good. Now the food:
Our food offering is relatively unique as well. Each Cafes Menu has been customized to suit the local customers. What you get from a CBD Café is a very different offer to the Sierra found in your local village.
What is consistent though, is that most food is prepared fresh on site, every day.
Every Sierra Café looks a little different to the other Sierra Cafes. Our Owner Operator’s have freedom to express themselves and create an environment that fits with the location, building and what makes local people comfortable. It is your Café after all, and should look and feel like your type of Café!
