Coffeeshop Company is based in Austria, part of the Schärf Group of companies. It produces its own high quality Espresso coffee from highland Arabica coffee beans; its heritage is the ever-popular traditional Viennese coffee house with its unequalled atmosphere.

The Coffeeshop Company stands for a perfect coffee experience coupled with a comfortable, balanced atmosphere and ambience and presents itself as a new interpretation of the classic Viennese Coffeehouse tradition, which was included in the UNESCO list of "intangible cultural heritage" in 2011.

With Coffeeshop Company, the Schärf group of companies, with over 60 years of excellence in the coffee industry, aims at bringing the traditional coffee house culture and the modern "coffee to go" trend into harmony as effectively as possible by also repositioning coffee as a "lifestyle product".

This hugely successful international franchise concept is today represented by more than 250 outlets across 5 continents, with an organic growth and expansion into new markets coming up within the coming months.

Training & Support

"Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, involve me and I will understand" - this is the basis of our Training and Teaching method. An emotion-based teaching method, in the world-wide unique, 2000 m² multi-medial theme park, known as Schärf World, our Training process offers a thorough, but interesting yet versatile and particularly aromatic learning course. It combines our senses and takes every visitor on a journey through every step of the value chain, from a real coffee plantation to a state-of-the art roasting plant, from coffee and gastronomic concepts to machine technology, and leaves a fascinating impression from the world of coffee in the human mind.

Knowledge about the highest quality of products, presentation, hygiene, service and business are regularly shared with our partners through elaborate trainings with baristas and product specialists, marketing, design, technology, finance and controlling as well as logistics departments.
