Five months ago, Open All Hours started as a shared idea passed between London and Sydney. Two laptops. Too many tabs. A belief that there was room on the internet for something made with more care, more taste, and less rush.
Tonight, as the year winds down, that idea feels very real.
What began as a digital coffee house has become a place people actually show up to. A growing community of founders, creatives, designers, and thinkers who care about how things are made and why they matter. People who read closely, reply thoughtfully, and treat ideas like something worth sitting with, not just scrolling past.
That part is down to you.
We didn't build Open All Hours to shout the loudest.
We built it to pour something considered. A space where culture could be discussed without squeezing it into headlines. Where design, fashion, sport, and creativity could share the same table. Where taste was the filter, not scale.
Seeing this house fill up has been the most meaningful part of the year. The messages that land late at night. The coffees shared in new cities. The moments where something we've written finds its way into someone else's work or thinking. That's the stuff we care about.
So tonight, before the clock turns, we're raising our last coffee of the year to you. To the regulars. To the ones who pulled up early. To the ones who quietly read every post. To everyone who believed in the idea and helped turn it into a place.
2026 is already brewing. More rooms opening. Deeper features. Sharper opinions. New flavours. The same intention behind every pour. We're just getting started, and we're building it with the same care that got us here.
Wherever you are tonight, we hope you find a moment to slow down, take stock, and enjoy the pause before what comes next.
We'll still be here tomorrow. Doors open. Coffee on. Ready to serve your daily shot of the good stuff.
Happy New Year.
Jack & Joe
Open All Hours
Shot of the good stuff.
