Espresso Americano, a Honduras-based coffee company, opens its first U.S. location today at the Village Plaza Shopping Center in Greenwood Village. An international coffee concept with 165 company-owned stores in Honduras, Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Espresso Americano’s newest store, at 5322 DTC Blvd., No. 200, will be the first of five locations to open across Denver in the coming months and the company’s first foray into the United States.
Espresso Americano will mark its official opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. today. Espresso Americano CEO Eduardo Kafati will be present to make a few remarks, and then live music will complement the unveiling of the Denver Tech Center’s newest coffee shop.
The new space is 1,550 square feet with approximately 50 indoor and outdoor seats, including a community table for business meetings, seating at the bar and lounge seating. Standard hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday; 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
“As we sought a location for our entry into the U.S, we recognized that the Denver coffee drinker is sophisticated and appreciates the independent companies that offer an authentic experience,”said David Kubena, director of North America for Espresso Americano. “Although this is our first store in the U.S., we have been in business for 80 years, our farm is still family-run and we grow 80 percent of our coffee, which we then roast ourselves. There is incredible pride all the way down the line and we know the Denver coffee drinker will appreciate the passion behind every cup of coffee we serve to our customers.”
The coffee shop will also offer a limited food menu with everything made fresh. For breakfast, customers can choose from a variety of breakfast burritos and quiche, while for lunch the selections will include several salads and homemade paninis. Fresh baked goods and dessert items will be available throughout the day as well.
