Sixteen years ago, Karvan Coffee was born from a simple idea and a caravan trip.
With a love for the open road and a passion for exceptional coffee, Brad and I set out to create something that could travel with them. Coffee crafted with care, quality, and purpose, wherever the journey led. What began as a caravan adventure grew into something far greater: a business built on community, craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in every cup.
Last weekend, for the first time, we sat quietly in the café and looked toward the heart of what we’ve built and said, “Look at what we created.” Reflecting on the journey has been filled with laughter, a few tears, and immense pride.
As we prepare to return to the road and continue our own caravan adventure, the time has come to pass the torch. We’re delighted to share that Karavn coffee will now be in the hands of another West Australian couple, Shaun and Emily Tonkinson, who share the same deep commitment to quality coffee and community.
What does this mean for you?
*Stability – The team you know and love will be here to keep spoiling you, and Shaun and Emily are committed to keeping the business running as the well loved family business that it is.
*Same Quality – We are pleased to have remained a family owned business with owners who have the same high standards as us.
Over the years, we’ve received messages from customers across Australia and around the world. It’s a reminder that great coffee connects people and that connection has always been at the heart of Karvan Coffee.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support over the past 16 years has meant everything to us.
Shaun and Emily are excited to meet you in the coming weeks, and we’ll be here until the end of May to ensure a smooth handover. So please drop in for a coffee and say hello before then.
As we head back onto the open road, Karvan Coffee continues with us, just as it began, driven by a love for the journey and a commitment to exceptional quality, wherever we go.
With love and gratitude,
Fleur & Brad Cassidy
