OUR STORY
01.
The Beginning
Amelia began as a small coffee stand in Little Venice during the Covid lockdown, a time when taking a walk and grabbing a coffee were among the few simple pleasures available. It was a moment when social distancing, masks, and outdoor socialising were the norm. We decided to take a leap of faith and give our best shot at launching what was then just an idea for a coffee cart. It was the perfect tool for us to experiment with our concept and turn the dream into a reality.

THE NEXT CHAPTER
The cart grew in popularity, and after gaining valuable experience and knowledge, we decided to open a store and expand our offering. The first store was opened in Seven Dials. One sunny summer afternoon, while strolling around Covent Garden along one of our favourite streets, we stumbled upon a shop with a poster in the window saying, ‘For rent, please call….’ Three months later, we had the keys in our hands, and as they say, the rest is history.
Amelia and her fiancé, Jeanloup, wanted to express their passion for coffee and patisserie but weren’t sure how. Amelia had a background in hospitality, and Jeanloup in finance. They met at university in their early 20s and got married afterward. From those humble beginnings, driven by a passion for quality and the community’s love for fresh, healthy, wholesome organic ingredients, Amelia quickly grew into something more. The cart was originally called ‘Tea House,’ and later, as an ode to his wife, the name was changed to what it is now: Amelia.
