Stories Espresso Bar

Welcome to Stories. We are about two things here: Quality and Opportunity. We believe in making excellent espresso. We also believe in young people. We aim to bring the next generation of hospitality staff into their first place of employment under the expert tutelage of some of Wellington’s best baristas. A Social Enterprise in it’s truest sense, every dollar goes back into the Barista Training Academy of Zeal, a nationwide Youth Trust that aims to transform young people through the creative arts.

Special thanks to the Ministry of Youth Development, the Boulcott Fund, The Cathy Pelly Memorial Fund, The Nikau Foundation, The AMP Scholarship, Proffer, Southern Hospitality and the many individuals who have contributed to making this venture a reality.
