Our Story

Hola...

Our story begins with a simple truth: Colombian coffee is extraordinary—and the world deserves to taste it the way it’s meant to be. This coffee shop was born out of a deep pride in our roots and a desire to bring that rich, authentic flavor to our neighborhood.

Our founder, a proud Colombian, opened this café not just to serve world-class coffee, but to create a space where culture is shared, friendships are formed, and meaningful conversations happen naturally.

​

That vision lives in our name: Algrano.

​

In Colombian Spanish, we say “vamos al grano”—let’s get to the point. It’s about honesty, sincerity, and getting to the heart of things. But it’s also a beautiful play on the word grano—the coffee bean. The starting point of every cup. The seed of something greater.

And that’s what this space is: a place where big things begin with something small. Whether it’s the spark of an idea, the start of a friendship, or a quiet moment of peace. For us, that seed also represents faith. We believe Jesus is the seed planted in people’s hearts—growing in strength, love, and purpose. He’s the foundation of everything we do.

At Algrano, the vibe is unmistakable: cozy, colorful, and alive with Latin American soul. Colombian music flows through the space—salsa, cumbia, and other rhythms that feel like home. Laughter and conversation fill the air. You’ll hear Spanish spoken proudly and feel the warmth of a team that loves to serve, connect, and make you feel part of the family.

​

Whether you’re here to work, reflect, catch up with friends, or share a spontaneous chat with us behind the counter, you’re always welcome.

This is more than a coffee shop. This is Algrano—a place where culture, heart, and humanity come together. So come on in, grab a seat, and let’s go al grano—because everything meaningful starts from the heart.
