Our story

We're just really into coffee.

And we think the best cup you'll ever have shouldn't come from a multinational. It should come from someone down the road who's been roasting since before it was cool.

Why we exist

WA has some of the best independent coffee businesses in the country. Small operations, obsessive about their craft, turning out beans that would make a Melbourne barista weep. The problem? Most of them are invisible to the thousands of people walking past a shopping centre every single day.

We built The Local Bean to fix that. We put vending machines in high-traffic locations across metro and regional WA — stocked exclusively with beans from local WA coffee businesses. No big brands. No compromise. Just great local coffee, right where the people are.

What we're about

Local, always

Every single bean in our machines comes from a WA coffee business. That's not a marketing line — it's the whole point.

We back the little guys

We exist to give independent coffee businesses a platform they couldn't build alone. More reach, more customers, more coffee drunk.

WA through and through

Metro Perth, regional towns, wherever there's a great location and people who need a decent coffee — that's where we want to be.

A local coffee business? Let's talk.

If you're a WA coffee business and you like the sound of this, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch and let's see if we're a good fit.
