Creole Blend
A true H.R.Higgins classic, Creole Blend has been part of our daily roasting schedule since the 1950s, when Harold Higgins created it in response to customers seeking a stronger, darker coffee without bitterness or acidity.
This blend brings together South American beans from Colombia and Brazil, roasted dark to create a cup that is powerful and rich, yet exceptionally smooth. Notes of dark chocolate and cacao lead to a refreshing blackberry finish, making it as perfect after dinner as it is at any time of day.
1942 Blend
Specially created by David Higgins, 1942 Blend is our premium espresso blend — a smooth, rich tribute to his grandfather and H.R.Higgins founder, Harold Rees Higgins, who began his business in 1942 with a passion for exceptional coffee.
Bringing together medium-roasted Arabica beans from small-lot farms in Brazil, Colombia, and Costa Rica, this blend delivers a perfectly balanced espresso. Expect a shot with notes of sweet caramel and vibrant fruit, full-flavoured yet free from bitterness — a true classic in every sense.
Vienna Blend
First introduced in 1946, Vienna Blend has been part of our range ever since. Created by Harold Higgins to meet the demand for the smooth, elegant character of Viennese-style coffee, it remains a customer favourite to this day.
A carefully balanced medium roast, Vienna Blend combines beans to produce a cup that is smooth and rich, with a medium body and delicate notes of honey, pear, and milk chocolate.
Coffee & Culture on Mount Street
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.
International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“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.”
