Coffee & Collections

Good coffee still matters

River & Bean is changing shape, but the coffee remains central.

We are not currently open daily as a public cafe. Coffee will be available through announced takeaway windows, collection, delivery, website orders, subscriptions, events, bookings, organisation use and fundraising partnerships.

This lets us sell good coffee without pretending we can staff a full daily cafe model before the numbers support it.

Ways to Buy Coffee

Announced takeaway windows

When we are staffed or on-site, we may announce takeaway coffee windows from Old Bridge Street.

Please check before travelling specifically for coffee.

Collection and delivery

Coffee and selected products may be available for collection or delivery through announced slots and partner routes.

Website orders

Direct website orders help River & Bean most because they keep the relationship simple and the support visible.

Coffee subscriptions

Supporter coffee subscriptions help create predictable income and keep the venue available.

Bookings and events

Private hire includes two jugs of filter coffee, one caffeinated and one decaf, plus a small selection of teas and instant coffee.

More involved drinks service can be added where agreed.

Proper Coffee and Propa Cuppa

For bookings, partner sessions, fundraising events and organisation use, we may offer:

• Proper Coffee drinks service
• Propa Cuppa drinks service
• takeaway-style service
• prepaid drinks bundles
• fundraiser drinks tables
• collection/delivery-linked campaigns

These can be priced as normal sales, discounted member/organisation service, or fundraising profit-share depending on the arrangement.

Subscriptions

Subscription options may include:

• supporter coffee subscriptions
• office or organisation coffee
• fundraising-linked subscriptions
• member coffee bundles
• gift subscriptions where products are live

Each subscription should say clearly:

• what is included
• how often it is delivered or collected
• whether delivery is available
• how cancellation works
• whether any support goes to a partner organisation or the Fresh Ayr Fund

Fresh Ayr Fund Contribution

A minimum of 1% of every River & Bean transaction, including coffee sales, goes to the River & Bean Fresh Ayr Fund.

That fund is reviewed and disbursed quarterly with active registered member voting on eligible applications and proposals.

For Organisations

Organisations can use coffee as part of:

• fundraising campaigns
• event service
• meeting hospitality
• subscription support
• co-branded coffee offers
• supporter drives
• collection and delivery days

If your organisation wants to fundraise through River & Bean coffee or Happy Coo treats, talk to us.
