Why it's worth checking out
My Kingdom for a Horse is an Adelaide coffee business with three city locations: 11 Waymouth Street, 185 Pirie Street and 60 King William Street. It has been part of the Adelaide community for more than a decade, with a strong focus on local connections and South Australian producers. Coffee is the central offering, available to enjoy in-store or take home as beans, with the team on hand to help customers choose something to suit their preferences.
The coffee is roasted by the business in Adelaide and served with farm-direct milk from Tweedvale in the Adelaide Hills. Its selection changes regularly, with seasonal, specialty-grade beans sourced as they become available from coffee-producing countries around the world. Some coffees are bought directly from farms, while others come through specialist buyers who share the business’s interest in good farming practices and fair trade.
There is plenty of variety for coffee drinkers. My Kingdom for a Horse roasts for both espresso and filter brewing, as well as a seasonal blend designed to work well with dairy and nut milks. The coffees are chosen to offer different origins and processing methods, rather than keeping to one fixed range. The site also describes an Espresso Blend with a sweet, spicy chocolate character and a clean, juicy finish. Availability changes, so the current selection is best discovered in-store or through the coffee shop.
The business was founded by Emily Raven and Rachel Mead. Raven brings more than 35 years of experience in professional cookery, hospitality management and education, along with an MA in Gastronomy from the University of Adelaide and previous ownership of Cafe 54. Mead has a Master of Management from Macquarie University and a background in retail, training and human resources. With coffee available for drinking or buying as beans, the venues suit anyone after a carefully selected city coffee, as well as home brewers looking to try something different.
