Meet The Team
The Comicoffee vibe is very important to us, and our customers. And fundamentally, that lovely homely and welcoming experience comes from the people who work here. The team (we don't usually say 'staff' or 'employee') work hard and play hard. We're always talking about the best customer service we can provide, but also we talk about movies, gaming, a good coffee or the next Warhammer event.
​
So, we're confident you will always find great food, drink, a smile and lots of conversation every time you come to Comicoffee. As always, it's down to the Team.

Matt
“Mr. Comicoffee himself. Working in the hospitality industry from the age of 14, he has used all of his gained knowledge to create the perfect mix of pop culture and cafe life. An all-rounder when it comes to hobbies, our leader is shooting hoops, kicking footballs or spending time with his family. A guy that can’t sit still, and that comes across in the evolution of Comicoffee itself - a true gentleman of the business world and an absolute pleasure to work for”.
