A typical day in our Tea Room is coffee, coffee, coffee, Lavazza all the way, it certainly brings in customers, which, for us is extremely important. We find our working relationship with Alba Beverage very easy, comfortable and professional. Both ourselves and our customers value the Lavazza brand.
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.
We are very happy with the service we received from Alba Beverage and especially from Trevor who was most helpful in the setting up and ease of use of the Lavazza Blue machine.
I cannot thank Paula and her team at Alba Beverage enough, in the help they have given us to grow our sales of Coffee in each of our branches.
As Italians we knew the coffee and machinery we wanted and where to find them, working with Alba ticks the boxes - ease of contact, relationships and expertise. The coffee we serve is smooth, hot and rightly priced, exactly as Lavazza coffee should be.
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 Trevor was brilliant when installing our machine. The customer service is second to none.
