I have a small bakery, we wanted to introduce coffee and Lavazza is better coffee than all the rest, so Paula and her team at Alba responded quickly. The engineer surveyed the site, advised on installation, delivered, installed and trained us how to make truly great coffee. Our sales have grown and Alba make it so easy for us, I am very happy to recommend the company, and the coffee of course.
We've been incredibly pleased with the service and quality provided by Paula and her team. Having never purchased an automated drinks machine, we were delighted that Paula was able to spend plenty of time understanding our requirements to find the best solution. The machine we selected has been reliable, easy to use, and consistently deliver great results – the hot chocolate being particularly well used! The variety of drink options and customisation features have made them a hit across the team. Maintenance and refills are handled efficiently, and any questions or issues have been addressed quickly and professionally. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other businesses looking for a hassle-free, high-quality solution.
We have worked with Alba for more than 12 years now and have a great relationship with everyone there. The new online portal makes ordering products and raising service queries quick and easy. We were even asked what would be a benefit to us when the portal was being created. Paula is in regular contact with us regarding new products and machinery that may be of interest to us and their engineer's experience in all things technical is invaluable. The team at Alba really understand the intricacies of our workplace and always go above and beyond to make it work for us.
As a recently recruited client of Alba Beverages, I have thus far been very happy with their products and services. They have the lovely Lavazza organic coffee I wanted, and every customer has commented on how delicious it is which is gaining us repeat clients. As a newly opened coffee shop we wanted to create the right offerings from the start and we feel that alba has been a very good match for us, even delivering last minute when we had underestimated our required order. I cannot recommend them enough.
We are extremely happy with the service provided by Alba Beverage, a side benefit is that we have gained foot fall in our dining room. Paula always replies promptly and their customer service is second to none.
A working day varies at the theatres - but always starts with a coffee! So coffee served in our café, bars and at our events are of huge importance and demand flexibility, quality, consistency and speed of service. Alba provide all of this plus water dispensers in our foyers for customers and staff to access cold, fresh, filtered water quickly and conveniently.
