Thirty Nine

Ilkley Based Coffee Shop

Meet Soph

Thirty Nine Cafe Owner

Sophie and her dad David, who is also the head chef, run a family-owned café right in the heart of Ilkley.

When they first came across Coffee Brothers, it was through a simple online search for a new coffee machine — but what started as one piece of equipment turned into a full partnership.

Challenges & Needs

At first, Sophie and David were only looking for a reliable espresso machine. But during our conversations, it became clear their coffee offering could be elevated even further.

They wanted better product quality, more consistency, and proper training for their staff to ensure the coffee experience matched the quality of their food.

The
Coffee

The team chose Lou’s Blend as their house coffee — a smooth, versatile blend that works perfectly across their menu.

To make their coffee offering even more distinctive, we created fully bespoke branded packaging at no extra cost.

This gave their café a unique retail presence and allowed customers to take home a piece of the experience, while reinforcing their brand identity at every touchpoint.

Machine

For a busy, family-run café with a constant flow of customers, the choice of machine was crucial. We supplied the San Remo D8 — a powerhouse built for high-volume environments where quality can’t be compromised.

Renowned for its consistency, reliability, and ease of use, the D8 ensures every espresso is pulled to the same exacting standard, even during peak hours.

Its durability means Sophie and her team can focus on serving customers rather than worrying about performance, while its design provides the perfect balance of functionality and style to complement their space.

Beyond The Cup

To complement the coffee program, we supplied a curated range of premium syrups, giving the café the flexibility to create seasonal specials and customer favourites without compromising quality.

Alongside this, we introduced a line of retail coffee, allowing customers to enjoy Lou’s Blend at home and deepening the café’s connection with its community.

Brand presence was also elevated through co-branded uniforms and collaborative T-shirts, designed to showcase both the café’s identity and Coffee Brothers.

This partnership approach not only strengthened the look and feel of the business but also extended brand awareness beyond the café walls.

Extensive
Training

The success of a coffee program depends not only on great beans and equipment but also on the skill of the people behind the bar.

That’s why we provided comprehensive training for the entire café team. Every member of staff received foundational barista training, covering everything from espresso extraction to milk texturing, ensuring consistency across every cup served.

To take things a step further, Sophie and her brother underwent specialist latte art training, developing the creativity and precision to serve drinks that are as visually impressive as they are delicious.

This investment in people has elevated both confidence and quality, helping the café deliver a coffee experience their customers remember.
