MEET THE BUSINESS MONDAY | From one Bournemouth coffee shop to a growing independent business!

This week, we’re introducing Ben Blades, the man behind Blend on the Hill, an independent coffee shop bringing great coffee, delicious food and a warm welcome to Bournemouth town centre.

With a background in hospitality and a passion for creating something special, Ben opened Blend on the Hill in January 2024, transforming part of the former Bournemouth Echo building into a welcoming space for coffee lovers, brunch dates and lunch breaks.

And what a journey it’s been!

Fast forward to 2026 and Blend has expanded to Broadstone, with a third location planned for Southbourne.

But despite the growth, supporting local remains at the heart of the business.

From speciality coffee roasted right here in Bournemouth by Bad Hand Coffee to fresh sourdough from local bakery Bakehouse24, Blend is passionate about quality, community and championing other independent businesses.

And it’s not just about the coffee! With a tempting menu of freshly prepared food, delicious brunches, sandwiches and sweet treats, there’s plenty of reason to pop in.

At Bournemouth Town Centre BID, we’re passionate about celebrating the people behind our town centre businesses.

It’s independent entrepreneurs like Ben, investing their time, energy and passion into Bournemouth, who help make our town centre such a fantastic place to work, visit and spend time.

A huge thank you to Ben and the Blend team for everything they bring to Bournemouth. We love seeing local businesses grow and thrive!

Find them at:
