Breakfast at Boston Tea Party, Bristol

Here’s 25 years + of BTP in 10

1. Founded. Park Street, Bristol. 1995. 
2. Adamant businesses can be socially compassionate (bye bye corporate confines, hello independent spirit).
3. Fast forward 10 years, Sam Roberts (CEO and Co-founder) takes the helm.
4. Nothing. Changes. It’s all about scaling with the soul we started with.
5. We crack on Making Things Better*, serving our communities 1000’s of mood-lifting breakfasts, brunches and coffees day-in day-out, kicking off 2016 with 17 cafes.
6. 2018. Doing things the right (not the easy) way peaks. BTP BANS SINGLE USE CUPS, saving 125K from landfill in just one year. 
7. Fast-forward. Grind to a halt. Amongst the chaos of Covid, staying true to our founding morals meant we kept our heads above water and every single team member rode out the storm with us (zero redundancies). 
8. We crack on Making Things Better*, launch our very own charitable Foundation helping underprivileged teens who need a leg up in the hospitality industry.
9. Drumroll. 2024. BTP SAVES OVER 1 MILLION SINGLE USE CUPS FROM LANDFILL.
10. Here we are. A family of 22 cafes (and counting), dotted from Barnstaple to Birmingham, all still buzzin’ with indie feels.
