Ivana and Ana, entrepreneurs and lovers of the concept of premium coffee, founded the Karibu Kaaawa brand in 2017 after a trip to Africa to a coffee farm. They tried African coffee and realized the idea. The idea of ​​the brand is to bring the fruity notes of this plant closer to all of you so that you too can enjoy every cup of coffee!

The Karibu Kaaawa brand was taken over in 2023 by Antonela and Igor, a librarian and a lawyer who run away from office work and turn their passionate catering hobbies into a business.

Antonela - a librarian, bartender, barista and rising astrologer who reads birth charts in her spare time, holds reading workshops with young people and enjoys quality coffee beans. She prefers filter coffee because it tastes better and reminds her of tea, which is also her favorite drink.

Igor - lawyer, bartender, admirer of nature and society with a good flair for entrepreneurship, does not start the day without an espresso, and the night without an espresso martini. Curious to try new flavors, he cannot choose the most favorite one.

Our brand Karibu Kaaawa was born in 2017, as well as our coffee shop in Zagreb, in the neighborhood of Trešnjevka (Cherry town), which closed in June 2022. After closing we continued our business online. Our goal is to promote roasted coffee beans from small European roasteries and make specialty coffee more available in Croatia and the region.

Our web shop (or coffeestore) is the first in Croatia and the region who offer different kinds of arabica coffee coming from small European roasteries. All those different coffees that are prepared in coffee shops on an espresso machine, you can prepare at home. The same beans you can use for home made brewing either as turkish coffee, in mocca coffee maker or French Press, or on your espresso machine. We'll be happy to give you feedback on all coffees we offer on-line before we send it to you.
