The Talk of The Town – Simon & Chris | Emma & Nikki – Sublime Coffee Rosters/ Bridge Street Studio
Welcome back to Talk of the Town, coming to you from the vibrant Bridge Street Studios in the heart of Nelson.
In this episode, hosts Chris Butler and Simon Duffy sit down with Emma Henna, co-owner of Sublime Coffee Roasters, and Nikki Neate, General Manager, to explore one of Nelson’s most exciting new CBD developments.
What started as a move from New Street has evolved into something much bigger — a thriving creative and business hub bringing together over 20 small businesses under one roof. From coffee roasting and hospitality to creative studios, tech businesses, and boutique retail, Bridge Street Studios is redefining what a modern city space can look like.
Emma and Nikki share the journey behind the transformation — from an abandoned nightclub to a dynamic, community-driven destination — and how collaboration, creativity, and local investment are shaping the future of Nelson’s CBD.
We also dive into:
- The growth of Sublime Coffee across New Zealand
- The power of collaboration over competition
- The importance of experience-led retail and hospitality
- How developments like this are helping revitalise Bridge Street
