Locally owned and operated
Laurie and Kerri-lee Hayes are the proud owner operators of Ulysses Coffee. Their family has been living on the Tablelands for generations and they are proud to call Kairi home.
They are passionate about supporting their local community and use all local products in their mobile coffee service
- Chesterson Coffee – Kairi
- Dairy Farmers – Malanda
- Max Stock’s (local family owned supplier of Biopak cups)
- Solano’s Syrups – Townsville (the furthest south)
- Fresh ST Market IGA Atherton (who also give back to the local community)
They care about the beautiful environment we live in!
All packaging used in their takeaway containers are biodegradable and compostable.
Gardeners line up to receive a bag of their used coffee grounds for their plants, which Ulysses happily collect and give away.
…a splash of happy in every cup
