| Stewart's Coffee House in the Lower Octagon, Dunedin, was
founded by the late Mr T.A. Stewart in 1956. It was the FIRST
coffee house in Dunedin and the only one in New Zealand to roast
its own beans on the premises. In 1975 it was sold to David
Humphrey, who within a couple of years had a vision of a larger
facility roasting good quality coffee. So in 1979 Stewart's Coffee
Supplies Ltd was founded and a factory established on Grange
Street, Dunedin. They have now moved to 44 Filleul
Street, Dunedin. Sadly, the original coffee house in the
Octagon was closed in November 1998, giving way to the trendy wine
bars and many small eating houses established in that
area. |
