Louie On Sea
For our February coffee concept of the month, we are spotlighting Louie On Sea - the newest member of the Louie family. This is a fantastic café located in Turner Contemporary in Margate, making it the ideal spot for a coffee after a day of browsing the gallery. Plus, the view of the sea at sunset is pretty great!
We spoke with Chris, the owner of Louie On Sea, and asked him some questions about his business. Read on to find out more.

Tell us a bit about your business, and the motivation for starting the brand?
Louie On Sea is our first foray outside London, hot on the heels of our four businesses in South London (Little Louie, South London Louie, Saint Louie Bakery & Low Line Louie). The Louie’s came out of a desire to provide all day neighbourhood hospitality featuring a café style serve during the day and supper clubs, cocktails & natural wines by night, all to a hi-fi audio soundtrack.
Why do you like using Redemption Roasters’ coffee?
Apart from providing a great range to suit all tastes, the social ethos is on point.
Where do you see your business going in five years?
We like opening sites in unusual buildings, especially churches & galleries as we really enjoy the collaborative process involved. Expansion is not our raison d’etre, so we go with the flow and consider opportunities as & when they manifest.
What’s next for your business?
As a nation and especially in the hospitality sector, we are far from economically secure; so our primary aim to create sustainable businesses that can pay staff well and provide good value to customers whilst all the time innovating and being creative.
What is your favourite thing about your business?
Working with interesting partners.
Finally, what’s your favourite coffee to make and Redemption Roasters product?
The Wing filter to make & drink!
