After having grown up on a farm in Colombia, Eleo always knew exactly where his food came from and enjoyed eating nutritious organic food and coffee. As a son of a second-generation coffee farmer, Eleo would naturally grow into loving the popular plant as well as having a great pride for serving his community.

​

​

After moving to U.S. in the late 1980's, Eleo had a deep longing to bring the transparency he was so familiar with.

"Leo & Angie"  met during their last year of High School and married couple of years later. The couple, parents of Christopher, Angelina & Vittoria, focused on rising their family for a bit. The Couple's values along with both their working styles became powerful tools in fueling their passion for their Vision.

November 2012, "THE VISION BECOMES A REALITY"

The Family open doors to their first cafe located in Teaneck, NJ.

The family greeted each guest with genuine enthusiasm, eager to share their passion for great coffee and hospitality. The space buzzed with conversation, laughter, and the clinking of cups as patrons savored their first sips of their carefully crafted brews.

​

  By 2016, Coffeecol had great following of coffee lovers that later lead him to open up his own location where he could experiment with various coffee and roasts. This passion with Specialty Coffee and transparency was reflected when Eleo built his own Roastery Facility "CoffeecolBean Roastery" located in Filandia, Quindio, Colombia to have complete control of the beans grown on organic hand picked plots. By sharing his vision, beliefs, and supporting farmers, Leo & Angie were able to make exclusive relationships with small high quality suppliers.
