About Minor Figures – Plant-Based Barista Essentials

Minor Figures emerged from a simple idea shared among three friends on a London rooftop in January 2014. What began with a vision to create exceptional cold brew coffee quickly evolved into a mission to redefine plant-based alternatives for the specialty coffee industry. From their humble beginnings, Minor Figures has grown into a globally recognized brand, headquartered in London, UK, with a steadfast commitment to crafting 100% plant-based, vegan-friendly products that truly complement and enhance the natural flavors of coffee.

Specializing in barista-quality oat milk, ready-to-drink cold brew coffees, and chai products, Minor Figures has become an indispensable partner for coffee lovers and professional baristas alike. Their initial foray into cold brew laid the groundwork, but it was their innovative oat milk that truly cemented their reputation. Unlike many alternatives, Minor Figures' products are meticulously developed to perform flawlessly in coffee, creating rich, creamy textures without overpowering the delicate nuances of the beans. This dedication to quality and compatibility has made them a staple in thousands of coffee shops worldwide.

The brand's unique positioning is defined by its distinctive, quirky branding and an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Every Minor Figures product is 100% plant-based, vegan-friendly, and notably free of added sugar, aligning perfectly with health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers. They are not just making plant-based products; they are actively supporting and shaping specialty coffee culture, ensuring that every cup, whether at home or in a café, is an exceptional experience.
