Harris + Hoole coffee

Harris + Hoole is a specialist coffee brand that emerged in the United Kingdom, specifically founded in 2012 by siblings Nick, Andrew, and Laura Tolley. The brand was initially established to bring the quality of artisan, independent-style coffee shops to a wider high-street audience. In its early years, the business was notable for its investment partnership with Tesco, which eventually acquired full ownership of the chain.

In 2016, the brand underwent a significant change in ownership when it was acquired by Caffe Nero. This transition integrated Harris + Hoole into one of the largest independent coffee groups globally. While the brand maintains its distinct identity and focus on craft coffee, it operates as part of the broader Caffe Nero Group infrastructure.

Manufacturing and roasting services for Harris + Hoole are primarily centered in the United Kingdom to maintain freshness and quality across its locations. The brand's origin remains deeply rooted in the London specialty coffee scene, despite its growth into a prominent national brand under international corporate ownership.
