FROM FIRST SIP TO MOVEMENT
A visual journey through the spaces, people, and experiences that make Coffee Circus unique.
2018: THE FIRST ACT
The curtain rises on Coffee Circus with our first location opening its doors. What began as a dream to create exceptional coffee experiences quickly became a hub for community connection in Malta.
"Our first espresso machine arrived just hours before opening day—the first of many circus-worthy moments of excitement."
2019: EXPANSION BEGINS
As word spread about our commitment to quality and community, we opened Coffee Circus Connections, creating a second space for people to gather, share ideas, and enjoy meticulously crafted beverages.
"Connections was built largely by hand, with team members and local craftspeople coming together to create a space that truly lived up to its name."
2020: ADAPTING TO CHANGE
Facing global challenges, we innovated our approach—launching our mobile Coffee Circus van and expanding our retail coffee offerings to bring the circus experience into homes across Malta.
The van was discovered abandoned in a rural village and lovingly restored over six months—a testament to our belief in giving new life to forgotten treasures.
2021: THE SOUND OF SUCCESS
Coffee Circus Sound opened its doors, further integrating our passion for music and culture with our coffee expertise. This location became our dedicated space for acoustic performances and cultural events.
Sound's opening night featured an impromptu acoustic set from a local musician that lasted until 2 AM—setting the tone for this location's musical spirit.
2022: GROWING THE FAMILY
Our community continued to grow with the addition of Coffee Circus Smile and Coffee Circus Joy, each with its own unique personality but united by our core values of quality, sustainability, and connection.
"With five locations active, our team had grown to over 30 passionate coffee professionals, each bringing unique talents to the circus."
2023: BEYOND BORDERS
We expanded our reach with Coffee Circus China, Riveria, Porto, Hub, Lisboa and Piano—bringing our distinctive coffee culture to new neighborhoods while maintaining our commitment to local partnerships and sustainable practices.
"Our international expansion taught us to adapt our core values to new environments while maintaining the essence of Coffee Circus."
2024/2025: ROASTING REVOLUTION
Established our in-house roastery, giving us complete control over the bean-to-cup journey and launching our Coffee Lovers subscription service to deliver freshly roasted beans directly to our community's homes.
"The first batch from our roastery filled the entire street with its aroma, drawing neighbors in to witness the beginning of our bean-to-cup journey."
THE MOVEMENT CONTINUES
Today, Coffee Circus stands as more than just cafés—we're a movement celebrating coffee, culture, and community. With multiple locations across Malta and a growing family of coffee enthusiasts, we continue to redefine what a coffee experience can be.
"Today, over 100 team members form the Coffee Circus family, serving thousands of customers daily across our locations."
CRAFT, QUALITY, CONNECTION
Our approach to coffee is built on foundational elements that define the Coffee Circus experience.
We curate relationships with small-scale farms and cooperatives who share our commitment to sustainable cultivation. Each origin is selected with purpose—for both its exceptional flavor profile and ethical production methods—creating a coffee experience that honors both taste and responsibility.
Within our roastery, each batch becomes an act of precision artistry. Our master roasters orchestrate a careful balance of heat and time, coaxing out the distinctive character hidden within every bean. Through meticulous attention to detail, they transform raw potential into complex symphonies of flavor.
Our baristas are craftspeople trained in the delicate science of perfect extraction. They honor the journey from distant farm to your cup through practiced hands and discerning palates. Whether creating velvet-textured espresso or meticulously timed pour-overs, they focus on the subtle details that transform coffee from mere beverage into transcendent experience.
We celebrate coffee's natural rhythms through continuously evolving offerings that reflect the harvest calendar. Our rotating single-origin selections and creative specialty drinks balance reverence for tradition with playful innovation, inviting you to explore the remarkable diversity that makes coffee an endless journey of discovery.
