Hi Friends,

We have had a brilliant first couple of days alongside Anosh Speciality Coffee  at Deadbeat (1473-1475 Pershore Road). If you haven’t popped down yet for a delicious speciality coffee and a cinnamon bun then what are you waiting for?!

Progress at the SCD seems to be going in the right direction and we still have everything crossed that we’re still set for a June opening. You will be the first to know if anything changes! Thanks for the 1328236th time for continuing to support us via our Crowdfunder and visiting us at pop-ups! 🫶 🫶 🫶

Thanks to @zamaniegostudio for these incredible photos from our first day at Deadbeat!!

Pre-order Info

➡️ Click HERE to pre-order bread and buns for Wednesday till Saturday. We have Rye bread again!!! Tell your friends, tell your neighbours, tell everyone!!

If you don’t want to pre-order that’s alright, we always have more to sell, but we try not to let anything go to waste, so pre-orders are very helpful.

➡️ Cut-off time for all pre-orders is 10am on the day before pick up!

Thanks so much to STEAMHOUSE for their continued support in letting us use a corner of their bakery in Redditch - we honestly do not know what we would have done without their generosity.

anosh. Speciality Coffee

Credits @zamaniegostudio

anosh. is a speciality coffee shop operating out of Deadbeat’s space in Stirchley. With a mobile bar tucked away in the corner, it runs as a multi-roaster, bringing in a rotating selection of light roast coffees from all over.

The general idea at anosh. is to keep things simple which, in turn, means doing it well. The coffees on offer lean away from the traditional. Expect something a bit more “out there”. Fruity, funky, and expressive profiles are always welcome, often featuring coffees that might be considered guest options elsewhere. The stuff that makes you think wow I didn’t know coffee could taste like this! Dorit is a tiny bit obsessed with the banana smell and taste of the first coffee she had been served by Anosh … you probably heard her mentioning that once or twice.

Alongside coffee, anosh. also works as a “multi-baker,” showcasing a changing line-up of baked goods from different bakers. The aim is to highlight a range of styles and talents, keeping the offering fresh and interesting.
