Caffè Vergnano, one of Italy’s historic espresso brands, is aggressively expanding its CoffeeShop concept worldwide, with ten new locations planned by the end of 2026, and a clear ambition to bring authentic Italian coffee culture to a global audience.
The numbers support that ambition. The company posted $124.7 million in revenue in 2024, up 17.5% from the previous year, while export sales surged 33%. From a base of $87 million in 2021, the brand has steadily expanded to a presence in 20 countries and 121 cities, helped in part by a partnership with The Coca-Cola Company launched that same year.
“Passing the 200-point-of-sale mark worldwide means consolidating a project that has shown, over the years, that it knows how to evolve,” CEO Carolina Vergnano said.
The new openings will include high-traffic urban locations and shopping centers in Italy, as well as more unexpected international markets such as Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
For American coffee lovers, Vergnano may not yet be a household name in the way some Italian brands are, but the company is betting on a familiar idea: that consumers around the world are increasingly looking for the real thing - a proper espresso, served the Italian way.
