ZARRAFFA’S (PRONOUNCED ZA-RAFF-AS) COMES FROM THE ARABIC WORD ‘ZARAFA‘ WHICH MEANS ‘GIRAFFE’. THE MASAI GIRAFFE TYPICALLY INHABITS THE SAVANNAHS OF KENYA AND ETHIOPIA, THE ORIGIN OF COFFEE. Originally a roasting house, Zarraffa’s Coffee first began operating from the backstreets of Southport on the Gold Coast, QLD. Back then, customers would come in for their daily coffee and enjoy a fresh brew while perched on a hessian bag full of green coffee beans that were yet to be roasted. From that first store in Southport on the Gold Coast, the Zarraffa’s Coffee business has evolved into an award-winning enterprise, now serving customers in over 70 locations across Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales.Leading the way in retail coffee innovation, Zarraffa’s Coffee developed its popular drive thru store concept in 2009, providing customers with quality coffee and added convenience. The company’s expansion to the West Coast in 2012 enabled Zarraffa’s to introduce its unique blend of coffee to a whole new region of coffee lovers. The company now operates its network of stores and drive thru locations on both sides of the country, with expansion planned in these key geographical areas in the coming years. Zarraffa’s Coffee has fostered a culture where everyday customers can access great coffee and be a part of this Australian success story. A commitment to product, service, freshness, convenience and a genuine love of coffee, is what makes the Zarraffa’s Coffee experience ‘more than just a cup of coffee.’
