“We have experienced nothing but kindness and great communication from the team at necessary & sufficient coffee. The customers are even helpful and give great feedback to help grow your business! Printer's Row is truly unique. The cafe lends the vibe that people genuinely care. They focus on sustainable practices with their products AND relationships. Everyone is accepted here. Not because it's trendy, but because it's their honest way of life and business. If you are looking for high quality everything, this is your place. I drive over 2 hours each week (more when it's busy) to continue our partnership and stock our juice fridge because I love it here. Cheers to more years and for all of us to keep on flourishing together!”

“Kate and (Giulia) were both a pleasure to work with. The assistance and advice that they provided were invaluable. Set up and the opening reception went smoothly, and the whole exhibition was handled professionally, without any issues. I would look forward to working with them again in various capacities.”
