Cartwheel Coffee
Cartwheel Coffee Roasters is a Nottingham-based specialty coffee roastery and café founded by Alex and his wife Becci, focused on traceable, high-quality coffee from individual farmers and seasonal food.

Cartwheel Coffee Roasters operates out of Nottingham, UK, where co-founder Alex and his wife Becci launched their first café and attached roastery with the intention of creating an exceptional in-café environment serving both high-quality food and coffee. The roastery sources traceable coffee from individual farmers and washing stations, prioritising flavour over price and aiming to preserve the unique characteristics of specific regions rather than producing the homogenised, dark-roasted profile common to many high-street brands. Their café menus feature seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and freshly baked pastries. Sustainability is a stated priority: coffee bags are 100% recyclable, tasting cards are made from recycled coffee cups, roastery waste such as chaff and grounds is composted at local allotments, and the business runs on 100% renewable energy, including an electric van. The team includes a Head Roaster and Production Manager alongside roastery and wholesale staff.
