Zarraffa’s Coffee was founded in 1996 by Kenton and Rachel Campbell. The company is proudly 100% Australian owned with its head office based on the Gold Coast. Zarraffa’s (pronounced Za-raff-as) comes from the Arabic word ‘Zarafa‘ which means ‘Giraffe’ and the Masai Giraffe typically inhabits the savannahs of Kenya and Ethiopia, the origin of coffee. From a single store in Southport on the Gold Coast, the Zarraffa’s Coffee business has evolved into an award-winning enterprise, now serving customers in over 80 locations across Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales. Leading the way in retail coffee innovation Zarraffa’s Coffee developed its popular drive thru store concept in 2010, providing customers with quality coffee and added convenience.

The company now operates its network of stores in shopping centres, strip malls and drive thru locations on both sides of the country, with expansion planned in these key geographical areas in the coming years.
