Like most good ideas these days, Vintage Black Co was established over a cup of coffee and a conversation about collaboration. Leon Russell and Tim Adams who both call the Sunshine Coast home, were well entrenched in the food and coffee industry at the time. They were excited by the growing cafe scene found in the pockets of community that make up South East Queensland. They wanted to do what they could to support people who were creating different experiences, spaces, food and coffee offerings. They have since partnered with some of the best independent coffee shops providing them with traceable coffee, training and business support.
