how it all began

In 2007, our founders Steve and Debbie Parsons decided to change their life journey and start a new business with the promise of greatness.

​

Focussing on a quiet end of Southsea Seafront, they began with core values that continue to make up the foundation of Coffee Cup today – a high quality product in clean, well designed and well maintained premises, accompanied with fantastic customer service.

​

Originally in a small mobile kiosk, our reputation started to spread and we were soon looking for ways to upgrade our offer and grow our business.

​

Steve and Debbie were joined by their four son’s and daughter as the business started to grow all of whom continue to play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of our Coffee Shops, whilst always looking at ways to improve and grow further.

​

With five locations open 364 days a year and the dream of further developments in the near future, Coffee Cup continues to go from strength to strength.
