Cumaica Coffee
Since 1993, we’ve dedicated ourselves to roasting and delivering the freshest, most flavorful cup of coffee available in the bay area.
We remain connected to our Nicaraguan roots by working with small plantations much like the one started by our family in the Matagalpa mountains during the 1960’s. It was here, as children, that our parents played among the rows of coffee trees that would become their livelihood and passion.
Today, that passion has been passed down to a new generation with four retail stores and a roasting plant in San Francisco to continue honoring our heritage.
