This exciting new chapter is of course tinged with some sadness as we say goodbye to our home for the last 40 years.
The premises was purchased in 1982 when we moved our coffee roasting, mail order and offices here as the business grew.
On Tuesday 23rd February 2021, we did our final roast, a Jamaica Blue Mountain before saying so long to our old Probat roaster.
David and the team dismantled the machine and it was packed up to be taken to it’s new home.
Once the roaster was gone, we cleared everything out, ready for the journey to our new site.
The only thing left to do was a good clean down. For Mr Tony, things came full circle as his first position at H. R. Higgins was pushing a broom.
Since 1942, H.R.Higgins has been part of Mayfair’s story. From our shop on Duke Street, just a few steps from Mount Street, we have welcomed generations of customers in search of something exceptional. Next week, that story continues as we take part in the Mount Street Arts Festival, running from 13 to 18 October 2025.
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
Our new pyramid tea boxes bring the same whole leaf quality you expect from our loose-leaf range, now in a form that combines elegance with ease. Beautifully boxed and perfect for gifting, travel, or refilling at home, they offer a timeless way to enjoy both classics and favourites.
