A WORLDWIDE coffee brand is weeks away from opening its first branch in Essex, the Gazette understands.

Black Sheep Coffee is set to open its doors in Colchester city centre.

The Gazette revealed last year the brand will be bringing its specialty grade Robusta beans to Lion Walk as part of the firm’s regional expansion plans.

Black Sheep Coffee has stores across the UK, France and the Phillipines but this will be its first in Essex.

Set in a fresh 1,900 sq ft premises, the shop will serve its iconic coffee menu by day, while at night it will transform into a late cocktail bar serving espresso martinis, beers, wine and champagne.

The new space, which will feature a total of 86 covers, will also include an alfresco seating area.

Gabriel Shohet and Eirik Holth, co-founders of Black Sheep Coffee, added: “We can’t wait to open in Colchester. This will be the first Black Sheep Coffee to open in Essex and we are super excited.”
