Acorns Coffee began life in a converted horsebox, serving coffee in all weather. We opened in the thick snow of February 2021.
Long days, heavy lifting. No shortcuts. No compromise. No feeling in our toes.
Tracey and Dayne met in a coffee shop and it felt only fitting that coffee stayed at the heart of all we did from that day.
What started as a mobile setup quickly grew into something bigger - a local coffee stop built on consistency, warmth and community. We expanded with a converted shipping container and grew our team.
People didn’t come just for coffee. They came back for experience.
Dayne has always said that coffee is theatre, customers wanting to talk, feel a part of something more than transactional and watch the barista craft their drink.
We took control of what mattered most - the roast.
Small batches roasting allowed us to fine tune every original and bring out the character and story of every bean.
Dayne always believe that single origin coffee tells a story, from the bright highlands of Ethiopia to the smooth and mellow slops of Colombia.
This is when Acorns, became Acorns.
We had to use the image of our little man George, who has grown so much since we began Acorns.
As the family grew, so did the recognition. Winning Great Taste Awards to highlight the “above and beyond delicious” coffee we were roasting from The Shed, Bordon.
Our approach to roasting and sourcing began earning awards and creating a loyal following far beyond what we ever imagined.
Today, Acorns is far more than a coffee shop.
It’s a roastery, a cafe, a place to meet, a place to laugh, cry and enjoy.
Tracey and Dayne are so proud of what they’ve created and the story of Acorns. The story of the coffee that is roasted, crafted and enjoyed.
Whether you stop by our coffee shop in Bordon, or order online for nationwide shipping, we’re so proud you’re a part of the story too.
