Owens Coffee

The roastery and café share an address at Owens Coffee in Endsleigh, near Ivybridge. That arrangement offers two ways to explore its coffee: have a cup at Perfect Waves Café or choose beans and equipment in the shop at the production site. The dog-friendly space has indoor and outdoor seating and free parking, so a visit can be more than an order pickup.

Owens began in 2010. Lorraine moved into roasting after working in biotechnology, bringing an approach to learning based on tasting, adjusting, and comparing results. The company continues to roast small batches in Devon and puts everyday use at the center of its offering: coffee that works at home as well as behind the counter, with options for different brewing methods.

The brand describes its range as organic and Fairtrade. Its sourcing information identifies cooperatives and producers in Peru, Honduras, Rwanda, Colombia, and Sumatra: AMPROCAL, ANEI, APROCOYCE, and KOPEPI Ketiara are among them. House blends sit alongside single-origin coffees. That information helps distinguish the bean’s origin from the selections intended for espresso, filter brewing, or a French press.

The shop sells whole-bean and ground coffee in different bag sizes, alongside brewing equipment, grinders, accessories, and gifts. The catalog includes Swiss Water decaf options and Devonshire Tea. Subscriptions, including gift subscriptions, extend the relationship with the roastery for people who want regular coffee deliveries; a trade service also supplies other businesses.

Perfect Waves Café serves freshly roasted Owens coffee alongside local baked goods, light lunches, and cream tea, the British combination of tea with scones, cream, and jam. The tea comes from the company’s own Devonshire Tea range. Indoor corners and outdoor seating provide two ways to take a break at a place that is also a shop and working production site.

Owens Coffee Academy adds hands-on courses to the experience. Home barista workshops help with everyday brewing, while professional training serves people looking to work in coffee; tastings and tours are also offered. The site’s appeal lies in that connection between production, learning, and drinking: buying a bag, understanding how to brew it, or sitting down to try coffee where it is roasted.
