Holly is the eternal optimist. She takes challenges as opportunities and when she moved to Iceland from Australia, she had an itch she had to scratch! Which is exactly how she ended up building Iceland's first micro roaster, tea lab’ and chocolate mixologist converted Skoolie!

She just didn’t plan on the pandemic rules hitting on opening day!!!  She believed in her business and stood strong, fueling herself with cheap food and low-cost living to fight to survive financially, never losing hope or optimism.

Four years later, she is now Iceland's best-known cafe and was just awarded ‘Iceland's best specialty cafe’ by the prestigious European Coffee Trip!

“Being part of the Skoolie family was such an unexpected surprise. I’ve felt supported from day one with an endless supply of happy, knowledgeable people, willing to give advice. I’ve made friends around the world through our love of Skoolies and the fun they bring”
