A London-headquartered coffee shop chain is opening a new site in Clifton in Bristol. Black Sheep Coffee, which has branches across the UK, has agreed to take commercial space at 60 Queens Road on a 15-year lease.
The 2,724 sq ft unit is split across the ground floor and basement, and was previously occupied by Vodafone.
Urban Creation, the building’s landlord, completed a major renovation of the upper floors of 60 Queens Road in 2022, transforming them into luxury student apartments. The company, advised by Savills, completed a freehold purchase of the entirety of the building in 2024.
Black Sheep Coffee was founded in 2013 by Gabriel Shohet and Eirik Holth, who started out with a stall in Camden in London. The brand offers a range of specialty coffees, including the signature Robusta, Love Berries, Blue Volcano, Rebel Decaf, and seasonal blends.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Black Sheep Coffee to 60 Queens Road,” said Jonathan Brecknell, founder of Urban Creation. “Their brand aligns perfectly with our vision for the area, and we’re excited to see the positive impact they’ll have on the local community.”
Urban Creation was advised by Savills on the deal.
Rob Palmer, director in Savills Retail team, added: “Queens Road is one of Bristol’s busiest retail locations, known for its vibrant mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants.
“The arrival of Black Sheep Coffee reflects the ongoing demand for premium retail spaces in key urban areas. This letting will not only enhance the commercial landscape but also provide a high-quality amenity for the local community.”
