Little Owl Coffee Roasters

We’re all about local love, creating family-like connections, and having an absolute HOOT doing what we love!

Little Owl Coffee Roasters is a Perth-based specialty coffee roaster, proudly crafting coffee since 2014. What started as a simple love for good coffee has grown into a roastery built on quality, consistency, and real connections — with the people who grow coffee, the cafés who serve it, and the community who enjoy it every day.

With over 60 years of combined experience, our team brings knowledge, passion, and a touch of obsession to everything we do. From roasting and equipment to café operations, we understand coffee from the ground up — because we’ve lived it.

Founded by Tony Unkovich, Little Owl combines hands-on coffee know-how with sharp business insight. After building a successful automatic coffee machine business, Tony knows what it takes to balance the technical, operational, and flavour sides of the industry.

Joining him is Callan Del Fante, who’s spent years on the front lines of cafés and customer service. With a background in accounting and running his own café, Callan keeps Little Owl customer-focused, practical, and grounded in real-world needs.

Together, their leadership drives everything we do — from sourcing exceptional beans to refining roast profiles, from supporting cafés to serving home brewers. Every blend is crafted with care, designed to taste great, feel good, and bring people together — one cup at a time.

At Little Owl, we’re about more than just coffee, it’s about doing things the right way.

Respect and inclusivity, honesty and trust, consistency and reliability, these are the values that guide us every day. They shape how we work, how we support our partners, and how we connect with our customers.

Sticking to these values means we’re not just delivering great coffee, but building trust, loyalty, and long-lasting relationships along the way.

Respect is a fundamental value that shapes every interaction, both within the team and with customers.

The company fosters a culture of mutual respect, where each team member’s contributions and perspectives are valued.

Team members are encouraged to speak their minds, creating an inclusive and supportive work environment.
