Urban Espresso Roastery
Here at Urban Espresso one of our values is Community Spirit. What this equates to is by setting aside a portion of profit we contribute to various causes in the community. Sallys Ride is one that's coming up soon, and we also donate roasted beans to worthy charity auctions.
As Victoria records its highest number of Covid-19 cases since the start of this pandemic, here in Tasmania we watch and wait, borders closed, the Bass Straight cushioning us from the awful escalation unfolding in our nearest State. It's making us nervous, and somewhat guilty for not having any new cases in the last couple of months.
Now we've emerged from this month of isolation and people in Launceston are tentatively exploring the beginnings of a normal existence. We're now open our normal hours and it's humbling to see our "pre-covid" regulars returning and showing their support of our conducting business under these circumstances.
I chose to close the store over the month of April, for the safety of my team, and safety for our customers. For my business this means we are still fulfilling internet orders for fresh roasted beans and now also fresh baking of 12 packs baked to order and delivered the next day within Launceston City limits.
