Specialist WA roaster GESHA Coffee Co. has announced it will be shutting its original Fremantle venue after more than 11 years of operation.<\/p>\n

From August 10, the WA brand will shift focus to its Bibra Lake headquarters as it prepares to hand over keys to the owners of successor Bloom Cafe by the end of this month.<\/p>\n

Director Daniel Pano reflected on the company\u2019s evolution from a small roastery behind the counter to a specialty supplier with loyal customers across the State.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom day one, our vision was to make specialty coffee our primary focus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis transition allows us to put our full energy into what we do best, sourcing, roasting, and supplying quality coffee to a growing community across WA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bibra Lake address on Discovery Drive has become the epicentre of the business \u2014 home to the label\u2019s roastery, espresso bar, and retail store.<\/p>\n

GESHA also operates its Sensory Lab and Barista Training Academy from location, along with other technical support services.<\/p>\n

While the WA brand plans to expand its wholesale supply, stockists network and coffee cart hire as it departs the harbour town, Mr Pano said the move simply marked the next phase of GESHA\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo everyone who supported us in Fremantle over the past eleven years, thank you,\u201d the director said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t goodbye, it\u2019s simply a new chapter for GESHA Coffee Co., and we couldn\u2019t be more excited for what\u2019s ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the location won\u2019t become entirely GESHA-free, with the owners of Bloom Cafe agreeing to pour and stock the brand\u2019s specialist brews upon moving into its Queen Victoria Street digs.<\/p>\n

Sharing the update on announcement media, the cafe\u2019s regulars reacted to the bitter sweet news.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for a fabulous caf\u00e9. My husband and I have been coming for years and watched the structural changes. The food and coffee has always been spot on. The new owners have large shoes to fill,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n

Another commented: \u201cVery sad news. Food, coffee and service have always been on point. We also love how kid friendly it is with a designated area\/toys for little ones. Definitely going to take something special to replace GESHA Coffee Co.
