About Us
Our Story
Our story begins during one of the most difficult periods in New York's History. The unprecedented crisis of Covid-19 left us all wondering what a new normal may look like. But to all those who said New York will never come back, we said... bullshit!! New York has always come back from every other unprecedented crisis it has faced, and we want to be one of the companies helping New York get back on its feet.
By joining the expertise of Australian coffee culture with the bustling lifestyle and needs of New Yorkers on their daily commute, we came up with the name Down Under coffee. Join us as we take Australia’s passionate, inclusive coffee culture and present it through a distinctly NYC lens.
Australia has for decades been referred to as down under. Turnstyle is known as the Underground Market. The name “Down Under Coffee” pays homage to both.
From Australia to New York
More than just another Aussie coffee company, Abbotsford Road takes Australia’s passionate, inclusive coffee culture and presents it through a distinctly NYC lens. The concept was developed by Phillip Di Bella, founder of Di Bella Coffee, Australia’s top specialty coffee roaster and 2016 Golden Bean champion. Phil started Di Bella Coffee in 2002, and as a result of its meteoric growth he is widely regarded as Australia’s #1 coffee entrepreneur, a high honor in a country that is seen as a leader in the industry.
