In an impressive hat-trick, Cheeky Grin Coffee has once again secured the title of ‘Best Coffee’ at the Eastside Business Awards, marking its third consecutive win and earning it the prestigious “Legend” award.
This accolade celebrates the café’s consistent excellence and beloved status among coffee aficionados in Adelaide’s east.
Located at 74A Gage Street, Firle, Cheeky Grin Coffee is not just a place to grab your morning brew; it’s a local institution where banter and a friendly atmosphere are as important as the quality of the coffee.
The shop’s founder, Stefan Iannace, originally started with a mobile coffee cart catering to events around the city. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced a pivot that led to the birth of the brick-and-mortar location known today.
Cheeky Grin Coffee has become a cornerstone of the community, providing a vibrant spot for locals to gather, share a laugh, and enjoy a quality cup of coffee.
The café prides itself on creating a family-like atmosphere where everyone is welcome to enjoy not only great coffee but also a selection of sweet treats, fresh pastries, and lively conversation.
The success story of Cheeky Grin Coffee is a testament to Stefan’s resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. After the pandemic halted his mobile business, he opened a makeshift coffee spot in his family’s backyard shed, serving the local community during uncertain times. This initiative laid the foundation for the thriving café that patrons love today.
Stefan’s dedication to the community and his craft has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by the café’s string of accolades. In addition to the latest “Legend” award from the Eastside Business Awards, Cheeky Grin has previously won ‘Best Coffee’ in 2022, and Stefan himself was recognised as a runner-up for ‘Best Coffee’ in 2021 and secured third place as South Australia’s ‘Best Barista’ by The Advertiser.
The team at Cheeky Grin Coffee expressed their gratitude on social media, thanking supporters, including @willowbendcoffee, @cityofnpsp, @indaily, and especially their dedicated team, for making these achievements possible.
