From Bean to Cup, With Love

Hearth & Kettle began with a simple dream: to create a space where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the warmth of community. Founded by two passionate coffee lovers, Elara and Thomas, our journey started in a small, bustling corner of York. We envisioned more than just a cafe; we wanted a 'hearth' – a central, comforting spot where friends gather, stories are shared, and every cup tells a tale.
Our philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for the bean. We meticulously source our coffee, partnering with ethical growers who share our commitment to sustainable practices and exceptional quality. From humble beginnings, we've grown, but our core values remain unchanged: genuine hospitality, artisanal craftsmanship, and a steadfast dedication to the finest ingredients.
We believe that true indulgence comes from thoughtful creation. That's why our pastries are baked fresh daily using locally sourced flour and eggs, and our light meals feature seasonal produce from the North Yorkshire countryside. At Hearth & Kettle, we invite you to experience the difference that passion, purpose, and a touch of artisanal magic can make.
