Off the Ground Coffee

NOW OPEN SUNDAYS!!!

We've been working towards this moment for a while now. The last Sunday we opened our doors for normal service was March 15th 2020 - and a lot has changed since then! We'll be open on Sundays from 10am until 2.30pm with the kitchen closing at 2pm.

We're not sure how it's going to go. Sundays pre-pandemic were our quietest days but we didn't have the food offering we have now.

We've also confirmed our Easter opening times - open on Good Friday and Saturday but closed on Easter Sunday and Monday. All opening times online will be updated ASAP. And menus will FINALLY be available online over the next fortnight.

Cheers!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Somehow this is our first post of the year!

The truth is that running a hospitality business in 2026 is HARD and so is finding the time to post.

In spite of us not being very active on social media, you’ve kept us super busy in the shop and that is so, so appreciated. It’s given us the opportunity to take our time planning and working on some details, which is very helpful.

We’ve spent the last 18 months changing lots of little things to future-proof ourselves. I want to make sure we can handle the more and more people who want to come and visit us without it either taking too much of a toll on our excellent team or having any kind of negative impact on service or quality.

I am guilty of sometimes being over-cautious with growing our business. I am acutely aware that you guys all work so hard for your money it just wouldn’t feel right to push hard for more customers if it meant our standards would slip. I know that, particularly at the moment, to justify spending money, things have to be REALLY special. And we’re working so hard every day to make sure that’s what we are. Coffee shops that are ordinary just won’t survive the current market conditions.

I’m so excited for the year ahead because each week I get to witness us getting better and better first hand. I really hope you can see the progress we’ve made over the years and how hard we’re working to be at the top of our game.

Soon we’ll have some exciting news on extending our opening hours which, hopefully, some of you will be very happy about. We’ll also have a few new menu items landing over the next 3-4 weeks as we finally get those weekday/weekend menu differences right.

We’ve got so much stuff to share with you - I PROMISE I will post again very soon.

Thanks for the support x

BIRRIA IS BACK

You've been asking us for months, pretty incessantly, sometimes slightly aggressively...

So we've given in! Now made with grass-fed chuck beef from and using real arbol, ancho, guajillo and pasilla chillies. It'll be available every Friday and Saturday until Christmas (and if you buy enough of it, possibly in the New Year, too).

Perfect weather for it if you ask me.

WE’RE OPEN TOMORROW!!

Running the Middlesbrough 10K tomorrow? We’ll be open for takeaway iced and hot drinks ONLY as it’s our next instalment of the record fair!! We’ll be open for takeaway drinks from around 9.30am for those of you in desperate need for a coffee after your run, with the record fair officially starting at 10am.

See you lot tomorrow x
