Our master roaster, Mahalia Layzell and her husband Paul are both chefs with over 30 years experience in hospitality between them. They have cooked their way around the world and toiled in the kitchens and dining rooms of some of Melbourne's finest restaurants and cafés. Mahalia's namesake, (Mahalia Jackson) sang to her mother's soul and no name could have suited her better - it is with nothing short of soul and passion with which Mahalia roasts and monitors every bean and blend.
