About us

Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters is our story as two brothers, Victor & Santiago, originally from Colombia and our passion for speciality coffee.

All our coffee is Colombian Arabica speciality grade and we carefully select the best coffee beans and hand roast each batch (medium - light roasts) to ensure that you get the perfect cup. In line with what many call the 3rd wave of coffee, our focus is on the quality of the coffee beans, experimenting with new preparation methods, communicating the story behind the beans and the farmers, and sharing that knowledge and experience with our customers.

We are a coffee shop specialising in roasting and serving Speciality Colombian coffee.

The Hermanos family is growing and we are on the lookout for baristas for our coffee shop at Kings Cross station to join us and be part of our journey. We are looking for people who want to build a career in the coffee business and develop their knowledge in addition to their skill sets.
