The love for specialty coffee was the catalyst for creating our company. It all began in 1999, in Patras. In 2009, with the empowerment of our team, we envisioned something completely fresh, innovative and original; creating a new experience of quality coffee takeaway. From 1999 until today, the magical journey into the world of coffee has been offering us unique surprises. Throughout all these years our goals, plans and strategy have changed, but our vision and values remain unaltered. We Travel, Explore, Discover, Innovate, Evolve, Serve to Enjoy a Unique Experience. Our daily promise is:
UNIQUE COFFEE FOR UNIQUE PEOPLE!
The company's headquarters are located in Patras. There are also facilities of our company in Athens, Thessaloniki and Nicosia (Cyprus). 2006 was a milestone for us, as we decided to set up our own roastery for roasting coffee. In 2012 created new roaster facilities, while in 2019 the unit has been renovated and second roastery has also been installed.
Already having stores all over Greece, in 2009 we spread our wings to Cyprus’s market. Wanting to give consumers a complete coffee experience, we re-established ourselves by redesigning our corporate identity (rebranding) in 2013, while remaining true to our DNA and respecting our existing dynamics.
The addition of 2 more links to our chain in the multicultural markets of London in the UK and Toronto in Canada was implemented in 2016 and 2017 respectively. The next stop is the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai in 2019, a result of us vigorously pursuing our plan and mission: to initiate more and more consumers around the world into the magic of quality coffee!
Now, Coffee Island, a Greek company, operates in 3 major continents and has more than 430 stores in Greece and abroad.
The Coffee Island organization is made up of people. From the employees of the company to the farmers in the countries where we get our coffee, our partners, baristi and distributors believe in the same vision and values. Our love, dedication and passion for what we do unites us. Every day more than 200 office and production employees, 290 FRC partners and more than 2,000 baristi are here to deliver a unique consumer coffee experience to YOU!
It all began in Patras, in 1999. There, our love for specialty coffee drove us to establish our company.
We decided to establish our own coffee processing plant, investing in equipment and know-how, mainly from Italy.
We started operating abroad, launching our first Coffee Island store in Nicosia. Within three years we have managed to establish a strong network in Cyprus, which is constantly expanding to 49 stores today.
We built two state-of-the-art coffee processing and packaging units in Patras and expanded our existing warehouses. Investing in mechanical equipment enabled us to ensure the highest quality in the context of a given increase in production resulting from the continued expansion of our network.
We continued upwards, constantly expanding our network.
We dynamically entered the UK market, launching our first Coffee Island coffee shop in London.
We expanded across the Atlantic by opening the 1st Coffee Shop in Toronto, Canada.
In 2019 the unit was refurbished and another roastery was installed. Now, Coffee Island, a Greek company, operates on 3 major continents, opening in the United Arab Emirates, in Dubai.
