In the heart of Cheltenham, a quaint espresso bar stands as a testament to 15 years of dedication and passion for the art of coffee roasting. Ottimo Coffee, founded by Larnce and his wife, has become synonymous with excellence, as the name itself suggests – Ottimo, meaning “Of the highest standard” or “of the best grade.”

The journey of Ottimo Coffee began in 2007, inspired by a transformative trip to Italy. Larnce and his wife, with a background deeply rooted in hospitality since the early nineties, discovered their love for coffee in the charming streets of Italy. This love evolved into a dream, and Ottimo Coffee was born.

A distinctive niche in the industry emerged for Ottimo – collaborating with smaller groups and providing invaluable assistance in training and perfecting the coffee experience for their partners.

According to Larnce, the key to success in the business world is to surround oneself with the right people and empower them to excel.

I’d strongly advise that if people are going to go into business, they surround themselves with the right people, good people, and then empower them to do things.
