Cheeky Grin Coffee, the award-winning coffee shop that has captured the hearts of coffee lovers in the East, continues to take its show on the road.
Owner Stefan Iannace has recently acquired a coffee van, enabling him to bring his renowned coffee and cheerful atmosphere to various events and locations across the state. And the exciting news for East-dwellers is that the Cheeky Grin Coffee van can be spied popping up when you least expect it up at the new Norwood Mall on the Parade.
Keep your eyes out for the Cheeky Grin Coffee van at Norwood Mall, to be stationed in front of Coles, promises to deliver the same exceptional coffee experience that has made the shop a beloved local institution. Coffee enthusiasts and passersby can indulge in the mouthwateringly smooth beverages created with Willow Bend beans, knowing they are supporting a South Australian-owned and operated business.
Recognising a lack of quality and flavour in the local market, Willow Bend’s founder Ben Pankhurst embarked on a mission to create a coffee experience that would satisfy even the most discerning palates. Frustrated by the inability to savor the true essence of coffee due to overpowering milk in their piccolo, Pankhurst and his wife decided to take matters into their own hands.
Driven by this gap in the market, Willow Bend Coffee was born, offering a diverse selection of coffee blends that are not only smooth when consumed black but also retain their robustness when mixed with milk. The response from the community has been overwhelming, with an ever-growing fan base of coffee connoisseurs who proudly proclaim Willow Bend Coffee as the best in Adelaide.
And now, you can bring that magical taste home with you, too, as Willow Blend has recently introduced Godfather Coffee Pods. They’re 100% compostable, Nespresso compatible… and available at Cheeky Grin Coffee’s pop-up, as well as in store and online at Willow Bend.
Cheeky Grin Coffee’s van is a celebration of the opening of Norwood Mall. After two and a half years in construction, the multi-million dollar development has finally come to life, as shoppers began eagerly exploring the newly opened stores on Wednesday, June 21. The new shopping precinct has officially opened its new Coles store, with a fresh new look not seen before in South Australia.
Since its inception in 2020 as a coffee catering business, Cheeky Grin Coffee has been serving up exceptional beans and delectable treats to events such as weddings and sporting games. However, when the pandemic struck, all events came to a halt, leaving Iannace facing a new challenge.
Undeterred, he opened a coffee shop named Cheeky Grin Coffee, dedicated to giving back to the community. Iannace is now celebrated as the ‘caffeine dealer’ of the East.
With the acquisition of the coffee van, Iannace has come full circle, returning to his roots as a mobile coffee provider. The van is an extension of the vibrant and welcoming community that Cheeky Grin Coffee has cultivated.
The shop has been named ‘Best Coffee’ in the East Side Business Awards back-to-back min 2022 and 2023, and continues to offer a fun, relaxed, and lively environment for patrons. Sweet treats, fresh bread, pastries, flowers, laughter, and, of course, plenty of cheeky grins are always on the menu.
The Cheeky Grin Coffee’s pop-up at Norwood Mall can be found popping up until early to mid-August. Times will vary.
So, if you’re in the area, keep an eye out and don’t miss the opportunity to grab a cup of delicious coffee, savour some sweet treats, and experience the contagious warmth and cheerfulness of Cheeky Grin Coffee.
