Mates Coffee House

Mates Coffee House – Your daily companion in specialty coffee.

CO-FOUNDERS: Ionut & Daniela: We are Mates, a cafe and micro-roastery based in Bucharest. We believe in the importance of ethical sourcing, sharing the story of our producers, and highlighting their work through the craft of roasting.

Our Philosophy: As roasters, we focus on transparency, ethical trade, and sustainability. We carefully select coffees either by working directly with producers or through trusted green coffee importers who share our values.

We deeply appreciate the time, care, and craftsmanship invested in growing, harvesting, and processing coffee cherries. Our role is to highlight those qualities by bringing out the inherent character of each coffee. To do this, we roast in small batches on a 1kg roaster, aiming for light to medium profiles that preserve clarity and complexity.

Our coffee offering evolves constantly.

Coffee is a seasonal product, with a wide range of origins, varieties, and processing methods to explore. We are driven by curiosity and a desire to showcase the diversity of specialty coffee, sharing these discoveries with you.
