Symeonides Coffee Cyprus Ltd is the sole franchisee of Costa Coffee in Cyprus since 2005. Costa Coffee started serving its unique Mocha Italia blend to its customers back in 1971 in London, when the two brothers Sergio and Bruno Costa set out on a mission to save the world from mediocre coffee. Today Costa is the largest and fastest growing coffee shop chain in Europe. In Cyprus the family-owned franchise continues to be one of the nation's market leaders. With 23 shops in Cyprus, it is a testament to the quality of Costa and the love that Cypriots have for their coffee.
