The Miners

UCL is owned by local husband and wife, Jeff and Alicia Miner.  

Creating the café experience is Alicia's department. She has been in and around the coffee business for most of her life. Working alongside her sister as a teen at their parents shop then working at a multitude of cafes, big and small.  Opening her own coffee shop seemed like a natural next step. Through her acquired experience, Alicia set out to provide superior drinks coupled with a personal café experience.

Jeff is the creative mind. Being an architect by trade, it was only natural for him to design these cafés. He wanted the feel of the shop to be inviting, interesting and fun while staying true to materials and clean. Jeff mixed modern-industrial with warm and comfortable - the outcome was unlike any other coffee shop. 

TOGETHER they married a love of design with a passion for great coffee.
