We never imagined we’d be writing a post like this.
The Coffee Studio is officially defending its trademark after being challenged by one of the UK’s largest hospitality companies over three simple words:
Eat. Drink. Work.
For us, these aren’t just words. They represent everything we’ve built. A place where people come to enjoy great coffee, work, connect, and be part of a community.
As a small independent business, we could have backed down.
We chose not to.
This isn’t just about our café. It’s about every independent business that has worked tirelessly to build something meaningful and shouldn’t feel pressured into giving up its identity simply because a much larger company comes knocking.
We’re proud to be represented by Trademark Wizards, with the backing of Lord Alan Sugar, as we defend what we’ve built.
If you’ve ever visited The Coffee Studio, supported a local business, or believe independents deserve a fair chance, we’d love your support.
