Our Story

Pastel Coffee is an award-winning, independent coffee roaster based in Perth, Western Australia.

We roast, brew and curate — bringing you specialty coffee with the kind of care that shows up in the cup. Have you ever had that wow moment with a coffee you didn't expect? That's what we chase, batch after batch.

Recognised at the Golden Bean

At the 2026 Golden Bean Australia awards — one of the largest coffee roasting competitions in the Southern Hemisphere — our Latte Blend took Silver and our Black Forest took Bronze, both in the Milk-Based category. It's a proud marker of where our roasting sits, and a standard we hold ourselves to every day.

Our Craft

Great coffee starts long before the roast. We source high-quality green coffee and get to know each origin — every one carries its own character, shaped by its environment and the hands that farm it. Our job is to read each coffee and roast it to bring out what makes it special, then taste, evaluate and refine, cup after cup. That's our dedication to the craft.

The People Behind the Cup

Kwanthar founded Pastel Coffee in 2019 — a roasting specialist and professional brewer with a real love for latte art.

Gavin is our Head Roaster. He started out as a barista and moved into roasting to understand what happens before coffee ever reaches the cup. Much of his inspiration comes from Taiwan, where small roaster-cafés each have their own personality, owners roast and brew their own coffee, and filter coffee lets you taste exactly where a bean comes from. At Pastel he brings a bit of that to Perth: espresso and milk coffee that tastes great, alongside clean, layered single origins for filter. In 2026 he served as a sensory judge at the CCC (Community Coffee Chain) Brewers Cup, an experience that sharpened how we taste, describe and refine every batch.

Together we work alongside trusted suppliers, co-roasting specialists, brewing partners and technicians — the people who help us translate the thrill of exceptional coffee, every single day.
