HISTORIC COFFEE ROASTERY

A 140 Year family story

For 140 years, coffee has been our family’s way of connecting people. From the first roastery in Greece to today’s modern facilities, Manolikakis remains guided by the same principles of ethical trade, quality and craftsmanship. Great coffee brings people together, creating moments worth sharing.

The journey of Manolikakis coffee began in 1886 when Konstantinos M. Manolikakis , a pioneer of his time, was the first Greek to import coffee from Brazil and supplied Crete’s market for half a century.

Two generations of thriving entrepreneurship followed by his sons, expanding business in other sectors, such as tabacco, concentrated juices and olive oil industries.

A century later, grandson Kostis S. Manolikakis took over the family business and created a new, pioneering coffee roastery in Heraklion Industrial Zone, while at the same time expanded the horizons of wholesale trade.

Today, the fifth generation of Manolikakis family follows his path:

Establishes a brand-new coffee production site, equipped with cutting-edge technology and design. At the same time, develops a specialized team of coffee and wine consultants to address clients’ specialized demands.

Moreover, enhances the operation of the existing logistics & distribution center with sustainable interventions, grows in reliable commercial partnerships and supplies Chania and Rethymno prefectures, from VIO.PA Chania Souda Headquarters.
