A Run Club Who Opened a Cafe
Meet Nova
Nova Coffee is a husband-and-wife-led café founded by Connor and Georgina, who, along with their team, have built a welcoming community space in Scissett, Huddersfield. Originally started as a run club, their passion for community and connection evolved into a permanent coffee shop — a modern, minimalist venue that reflects their clean aesthetic and active spirit.
With no prior experience in hospitality, but a strong sense of purpose and a loyal community already behind them, the Nova team reached out to Coffee Brothers to guide them from concept to completion — turning their vision into a fully operational café.
Challenges & Needs
As first-time operators, Nova needed a partner who could handle every aspect of opening a coffee shop — from food hygiene questions to equipment choices, layout planning, and team training. They were looking for someone who could provide a complete, start-to-finish solution to help them build confidence and consistency from day one.
The
Coffee
At the heart of Nova Coffee is a bespoke house blend, crafted exclusively for their brand, dark roast with tasting notes of spice, sweetness & roasted nut. We worked closely with Connor and Georgina to create a bespoke roast that aligns with their minimalist and modern café concept, and honors their roots as a run club.
The blend offers a bold yet refined profile: rich Italian-style roast character, balanced acidity, rounded body and a clean finish – designed to perform beautifully across milky drinks, short blacks and everything in between.
Equipment
When it came to equipment, we supplied the San Remo D8 espresso machine — a machine designed for high-pace environments yet built to preserve the nuance of a fine blend.
For the grinder, we installed the Mahlkönig E80, paired with a PuqPress, ensuring precision dosing and consistency shot after shot. These tools ensure the bespoke blend can perform at its best — every extraction, every time.
Beyond The Cup
To support the wider menu and take-away experience, we provided premium syrups, matcha, branded cups, and bespoke takeaway packaging so that the Nova Coffee identity flows from the café bar right through to the customer’s home.
The combination of flavour-first coffee, high-spec equipment and attention to detail ensures Nova serves not only a drink, but a total brand experience.
Extensive
Training
Because Connor and Georgina were completely new to the industry, training was at the heart of our partnership. We provided entry-level barista training, covering the fundamentals of espresso, milk texturing, and drink preparation, followed by ongoing refresher sessions for new team members as the business grew.
Their long-term staff also received advanced latte art training, ensuring every drink leaving the bar matched the same high standards as the coffee itself.
Even before opening, we were involved from the blueprint stage, helping design the café layout and plan where every piece of equipment should go — creating a functional, efficient workspace from day one. Once launched, we supported their growth with social media content shoots, capturing the personality of the brand and their thriving run community.
