SPECIALTY COFFEE & FOOD

Our Shop

Microlot Chocolate

  • In April, 2021 the Franco team approached the Catica sisters about collaborating on a micro-lot specialty chocolate bar with a specific flavor profile in mind; since then we have been playing with and testing different varieties, fermentations, drying processes and roasts to bring to life a co-creation of our two brands

  • Graceful & Elegant

    Fun & Tropical

    Balanced & Velvety

Specialty Coffee

  • It is the coffee that tastes more than 80 points (out of a total of 100), according to international standards and, in the case of Costa Rica, according to ICAFÉ. In addition, it is essential that it has traceability, which means that it includes the name of the producer and the farm/micro-mill, the height at which it is grown, what variety of coffee it is, what the processing process is and that it includes the notes of cupping.

  • At Franco we only serve Costa Rican coffee. For the coffee we serve you at Franco, we buy directly from specialty coffee producers in the different coffee-growing regions. They all go through a very complete cupping process by our baristas/roasters, who are also in charge of roasting them weekly.

Origami & Local Market

  • Discover the magic of good coffee with Origami accessories.

  • For lovers of good food we have our local market with curated products from national producers and brands.
