Our founder, Kirk Bedrossian, was inspired by his father's coffee processing business and the life-changing adventures they shared together. In 1998, a simple trip to Costa Rica ignited Kirk's love for coffee and sparked a four-year odyssey that took him and his father to the farthest corners of the earth in search of the finest beans.
From lush jungles of Africa to remote villages of Indonesia and vast expanses of the Amazon, Kirk fell in love with the people, cultures, and traditions that give each coffee its unique character. In 2002, he returned to Los Angeles with a dream: to share the world with others through a simple yet transformative cup of coffee. And so, Angelino's Coffee was born.

a note from our founder.
20 years ago, I was working in tech. I was depressed and totally lost. Around this time, my father, who worked in the coffee industry, took me on a trip with him. He showed me how the world can connect through a cup of coffee... and it changed my life. I flew home, quit my job, started a coffee business (Angelino's), and I've been traveling the world ever since searching for the best coffee on the planet.
