I’ve witnessed first-hand how Coffee Works Project transformed this cobbled road from a row of antique shops to a highly sought-after hospitality hot spot, with the likes of Fredericks, The Breakfast Club and Brother Marcus, to name a few of its residents. The already spoilt for choice locals and visitors to the area have just gained a wonderful new speciality coffee shop with a highly regarded coffee professional Antonio Orria at its helm, in the form of the new social enterprise Trampoline.

Passage block, sitting on the corner of Carlton Place across the road from The Breakfast Club - it can’t be missed. But don’t be fooled by the fun exterior, this project is a serious social mission and is just what our overstretched and sometimes less than inclusive industry desperately requires. A project that promises to also change the lives for the better of some of our community’s most helpless individuals. Antonio speaks enthusiastically and passionately speaks about the task ahead and how the idea is that of his partner Pranav, and that he gives him all the credit for this.

His foundation started when moving to London from Italy approximately a Cibare Magazine
