Our History

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.

In 2009, Cyprus welcomes the first Coffee Island shop.

Βuilt 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.

Coffee Island is now also located in Yverdon, Switzerland. The new store is situated at the heart of the brand-new, multifunctional EXPLORiT Business & Services center. Two Coffee Island robots contribute to the visitor experience.'

The second Coffee Island store opens in Dubai, while Romania is now also "serving" Coffee Island coffee. In 2021, the Sustainable Development Strategy begins, with the first step being the completion of the Materiality Assessment, a process in which 3,000 of our stakeholders participated.

The year begins with expansion to yet another continent, with 2 stores opening in Egypt.

The first store opens in Madrid, at the Plaza Norte 2 Centro shopping mall—one of the largest and most popular shopping centers in the Spanish capital. Coffee Island expands its global presence by launching a new experience store in Cairo, overlooking the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still standing today: the Pyramids of Giza!

It opens its first store in India, in the heart of the business and technology hub of Gurgaon.
