Crosby Coffee

Jack Foster started roasting at home in 2014 and selling at markets, took on commercial premises, took on Mark Slinger in 2016 to mind the growth, and by August 2025 had opened a roastery café in the Ten Streets district — the dockland grid where Liverpool now keeps its makers — with the roasting on show and a training operation alongside. The company has grown to around forty-five people across its Liverpool cafés, which is disclosed here plainly: this is a city-scale independent, still founder-run, not a boutique pretending otherwise. The beans leave the building in bags and cups at roughly equal rates.
