Change Please, a social enterprise which aims to end homelessness through great tasting coffee, and Toast Ale have opened their first joint venture.

Good Company

Good Company is a café and taproom experience at 17-19 Triton Street, London. Situated in the heart of British Land’s Regent’s Place campus, Good Company customers can swing by for coffee or beer, knowing the money they spend is helping fight homelessness and fix the food system.

Good Company will serve breakfasts and cakes by Breadwinners, a social enterprise helping refugees. Lunch and dinner service will include a selection of sandwiches, salads, and hot pies by B Corp Pieminster. There will also be exciting food collaborations for late evenings on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

The drinks menu will include the full range of Toast beers, as well as carefully selected guest beers and other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks from B Corps and social enterprises.

Good Company aims to be more than just a place to drink great coffee and delicious beer. It will also host regular events, including talks and film screenings, with customers invited to help shape the schedule. The space will also host barista training with Change Please for members of the homeless community, helping to increase the number of lives the coffee company can change.

Cemal Ezel, chief executive of Change Please Coffee, said: “We’re excited to be opening Good Company, a unique, new space, that not only provides the area with award-winning coffee, food, beer, and fresh entertainment, but gives back, so every visitor makes a positive difference to society and the planet.”

Good Company will work with other mission-led businesses, such as Too Good to Go, which enables the sale of discounted surplus café food to customers through its app, and Bio-bean, which collects spent coffee grounds to create coffee logs for heating.

“We’re excited to be opening Good Company, where Toast’s Bread Quarters will be based,” said Louisa Zihane, chief operating officer of Toast Ale. “We’ll have all our beers on tap, plus guest beers by other social impact breweries, and a really exciting range of other drink options.

“We’ll also be hosting events to bring sustainability and social responsibility to life, making the space a hub for progressive businesses.”

• Good Company is open from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, with extended opening for the taproom to 10pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
