Description
In this episode of Talkin' Shop, Louis and Aaron sit down with Phil McGovern, the visionary behind Caffeine & Machine, at one of his latest venues—The Bowl. Phil opens up about the brand’s journey from a café in Dubai to a cultural movement that bridges automotive enthusiasm, community, and lifestyle.
They dig into the origins of Caffeine & Machine and the story behind each location, the uphill battles with local councils and communities, Phil’s automotive love affair with Jaguar and what the future holds for C&M, including a possible international expansion.
