History

Zarraffa's Coffee, established in 1996 by Kenton Campbell, was originally a roasting house operating from the backstreets of Southport on the Gold Coast. [3] It opened its first store on the Gold Coast with three tables and nine chairs in 1996.

By 2009 the company had 40 stores, including a second Drive Thru in Toowoomba and a Central Queensland store at Rockhampton. Also in 2009 Kenton Campbell launched a non-profit charitable foundation established to address environmental and conservation issues. [4]

By August, 2018, Zarraffa's Coffee has opened its 50th Drive Thru store, and its 85th store in Australia. [5] A new company headquarters was established at Eagleby, QLD in late 2018. [6]

In November 2020, Zarraffa's launched Sugar Creek Smokehouse, an Australian-Texan BBQ fusion. [7]
