Tico Coffee Roasters have become my go-to place for whole beans coffee. I've experienced a few of their roasts and the Black Tiger is my favorite. About 6 months ago I made a switch from the convenience of my Keurig to buying quality beans, grinding them myself and make proper Americanos instead of popping in a pod and pushing a button. I've done a lot of experiments with beans and so far I haven't found better beans than the beans I pick up from Tico Coffee Roasters. I really appreciate to have roasters of this quality in my neighborhood! Coffee is like wine, the better the quality is, the less you need. I used to go through 4-5 Keurig pods every day, but I'm plenty fulfilled by 1-2 cups of coffee made from Tico's beans. So even though it seems like I'm paying more for coffee with Tico, I'm not. I highly recommend you to try Tico's beans. They have amazing deals through Too Good To Go if you are looking for a deal to try it out. read more

This is one of the best coffee stands that I have been to in a while. When I first arrived, I thought it was just a brewing company that didn't serve the public, so I was glad that they operated a stand. I order a cappuccino and tried their coffee of the day: Sanger de Toro. To begin, the drip, tasted very smooth with a slight acidity, but not too much. The cappuccino with a base of Rialto had the bold, dark chocolate, and rich taste that was advertised, and the foam was fine to perfection. It's in an industrial area with car repair shops, so if you're in the area for that, it is definitely worth checking out; it is also worth a special trip for. The service was fast and friendly. And the ambiance was a coffee stand outside of a coffee brewing company read more

I am obsessed with Tico Coffee! They make some of the best single-origin medium roasts I've ever tried. I regularly order their beans online and am so glad to have found a consistently great local coffee roaster. Every night, I look forward to brewing a cup of coffee the next morning! Not only is their coffee great, they are committed to sustainable coffee practices and they are a women/Latina-owned business. Love it! read more

Local spot for freshly roasted beans. Their hours are limited but they do offer online ordering. This place it tucked in a business center and parking is very limited. The staff is friendly and they were very knowledgeable. Definitely adding them to my rotation of beans. read more

After my last review, Tico team has reached out and correct the issue. Their service is fast and punctual. read more

I loved this little coffee truck! It was pretty hidden and tucked away behind all of these warehouse looking buildings, but once you found it, it was perfect! No huge crowds, it was pretty quiet and easy to grab my coffee. I ordered an iced mocha. It was delicious! The coffee quality seemed pretty good to me - smooth, strong and tasty. The girl working was very kind too. She mentioned that there are special monthly drinks! The drinks are a reasonable price considering the quality of the drink ($6). Maybe I came at an off hour time, but I hope they get more business! I do love that it's hidden, and so close to our home. I'll definitely come back soon! read more

I was finally able to try their coffee fresh. I had received a bag of cafe de olla as a gift. I noticed that they are located in Campbell, which is only a 15 drive. Since they aren't open on the weekends, I went today (Tuesday). It's more of a warehouse, where they roast and bag the different blends. Not really a coffee shop.There's a small mobile coffee stand in front where I was able to purchase a latte. I was also able to pick up a bag of beans from the warehouse. read more

Awesome to have a coffee roaster right in Campbell! We got an iced latte and their Black Tiger beans. Staff immediately came to help us out when we arrived. Great experience. The dark chocolate flavor of the beans was exactly as described. I've tried pour over so far and plan to make espresso out of the beans. Will definitely be back to try out their different beans. read more

I came across this while searching for local small batch coffee roasters. Got "Finca San Luis", excellent beans, espresso shot was perfect and I could test the flavor notes. read more

I've tried their water tower decaf and a blend. So far I haven't found the flavor profile I'm looking for. It's in a local warehouse and the staff are amazing. It was $19 for the decaf that I probably won't drink, but I will be back to support my local shop and try new stuff. read more

Seen them at the garden at the flea and wanted to try their hot chocolate. Was hoping they had other speciality type of drinks but not so much just a peppermint one. Tried the hot chocolate and it was okay not much to it just your regular hot chocolate drink. This place is more for those into coffee since they have your normal variety of them! Cushioned service was friendly. read more

The staff member who made my latte was very nice. Only $5 which is better that any chain. And they don't add sugar so you can control how sweet you want it! My only complaint is it is a little tricky to find. It's a trailer in the back of a parking lot. Maybe more signage? read more

Awesome light roast coffee in an industrial setting! Recently discovered this place after working in the area for over a year.

The definition of a hole in the wall. If you don't know where it is, you'll probably miss it. My best suggestion is to turn where the flags say coffee, and then just keep going down that small lane past the random garages. Here they sell whole beans as well, so if you like grinding your own coffee it might be a nice place to check out new blends and flavors. I had a black Americano and it was just what I needed to get through the rest of the day. I think I would definitely come here more if I was a coffee connoisseur, instead of being like me who just drinks coffee for caffeine. One cool thing I heard is that a local school came to this shop to learn about coffee production. So if you are in education, that may be an easy field trip to look into. read more

Google Maps came up with Tico Coffee Roasters as a non- Starbucks option, so we went to check it out. When we arrived, we drove down an alley with industrial shops and I thought, dang, it's just the warehouse where they roast coffee. You don't notice at first, but they have a little coffee trailer where they serve coffee, latte's tea, etc. The latte was a smooth, great tasting cup of coffee. Was nice to try a non-chain for once and the gal was very nice serving us. read more

Tico Coffee Roasters - Worth the hunt! Great to-go coffee. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Campbell, California

Is a very high quality coffee. I had drip coffee. Definitely can tell the difference from Peet's, Philz, Voyager, Blue Bottle and Chromatic. On par with Coffee Water Lab and Cocola. read more

Came here on a random day and it seemed they were just getting set up. I ended up with the cold brew because it's all that was ready. It was good was nice to try some coffee with a little more personality compared to other places. I hope to come back when they're open to grab another drink. It's a little tricky to find. If you're using GPS it's all the way at the end. read more

I had a truly delicious cup of coffee served fresh by a friendly woman at a very reasonable price. I'll definitely be back. It's tucked in the back right of the parking lot (look for the white coffee truck). read more

Friendly staff. Cortado is my favorite. Love the quality of beans. Looking forward to buying beans regularly.

I've enjoyed your Almond cake tea. Every single tea is "out of stock". Are you no longer selling tea anymore?

Cool spot! They roast the beans right here, it isn't a place to chill out with a laptop but there's some damn good coffee and latte/cappuccinos happening here! You can also buy bags of coffee and check out their roasting in the warehouse on Mondays! read more

Not sure what the name of the lovely lady that helped me was but she was incredibly nice and helpful. I ended up getting 3 bags of beans for my morning espresso. I will be back! I like getting coffee from a roaster, there's something magical about seeing where your beans are roasted. And the smell... mmmm! They're not open on the weekends but I will try my best to come on my days off or order online and have it shipped. read more

This was a happy lucky find. Came to charge point to charge my ev car and felt like having a coffee ,quick yelp search directed me to Tico. Ordered cappuccino and it tasted great. Give it a visit ! P.S : it's on the end of a parking lot so walk/drive in to spot it . A big board on the road will be helpful to spot it . read more

Mariana is very friendly and it is always great to support a small business that also touches so many growers directly. Bought 3 bags of medium roast and a cup of coffee that was mild, non acidic and tasty. They may be a bit hard to find but they're worth the visit! read more

Tico Coffee Roasters - I Costarrican coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Campbell, California

I'm a teacher at a a local private school and we came to this lovely establishment on a field trip with a group of 16 students. We had such a wonderful time learning about how coffee grows, where it comes from, the roasting experience and the kids got to try decaf coffee roasted right there at the warehouse shop! We really appreciate Thomas and Mariana taking the time out of their busy day to allow us to visit their establishment and educate our students! Thank you! read more

Just thinking about the wonderful coffees Tico Coffee Roasters offer always puts a smile on my face. Mariana and Tom are a delightful couple who share a passion for delivering excellent coffee from Costa Rica by way of direct trade. I love the wonderful fruitiness of some of their favorite blends. Even their decaf will surprise you in how pleasing are the aromas. Tico Coffee Roasters are a must for any special occasion where you want to serve only the best coffee!! As an event planner I am always happy to add someone as special as the Tico Coffee Roasters to my recommended list of vendors. Thank you for being part of the Holiday Open House! Photos attached.

Tico Coffee Roasters - Holiday Open House at Heartwork gallery. Three wonderful coffee's were offered! - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Campbell, California

I visited the shop 3 times in the last 2 weeks, their business hours are 9ish to 4ish. First visit 9:30 am, not open. 2nd visit 10 am, not open, 3rd visit 9:15 am, not open, call number, someone answers, I ask, "Are you open today?", answer "Yes, we are", I respond " I am at your front door and no one is here", answer "oh, we won't be there for another hour". Trying to support local business and a fellow Tico, but not worth my time anymore. Tried to stop by before going to work, and even attempted going later in the morning to hope and catch them open but with "whenever I feel like business hours" does not say much for the rest of services. Will find somewhere else to buy my weekly pounds of coffee. read more

Omg. The best coffee I've ever had. I had their cold brew at a craft sale and it was the highlight of my day. Definitely going back for more on day 2! Ppl are super friendly too! read more

My husband was having issues with his coffee roaster so found Tico on Yelp. I bought the October blend, it was so good! Great service and fair prices so I'll be back. read more

Was looking for quality coffee, not that typical commercial branded stuff and happened to hear about Tico Coffee Roasters. I stopped in to see what they offered, and was really satisfied with their selection. I was helped by Marianna, who is the business owner. She gave me wonderful recommendations, out of everything, I went with the Yirgacheffe Kochere (from Ethiopia), and the Confite Black Honey. It was ground on site for me and I tried one right when I got home after work. The Ethiopian one was fantastic! Really bold flavor and I could taste the slight hints of peach/apricot, and early grey as the description described. Will have to try the Confite black honey another time. Whats great is that they hold classes both in house and at different locations, each time delving on another topic, which is great if you're looking to learn more about your coffee. I definitely recommend paying Tico Coffee roasters a visit if you're seeking high quality coffee beans! read more

A little tough to find. They do have a great selection but it's kind of a weird experience since they don't have a real storefront. It would be nice to try some of their coffee before purchasing, especially at the price point of $17 for a 12oz bag. read more

Love the quality and attention to detail from this little shop. The coffee is great. The fact that they know who is growing their beans. Really. Know the growers, as in walk the hills and have a relationship with the people growing the beans lets them pick the absolute best. Lots of love here and it shows in the product. Get it now before they get too big for their britches and go all commercial. A true gem. read more

I just happened to come across this Roaster because I had a really bad cup of coffee at a Peet's nearby. So I typed in Roaster near me on my phone and Tico's was one of the shops that came up. I did stop by another roaster that served coffee, so I had a much better cup to satisfy me for a while, but I was in the area and thought I'd check them out. Their shop is located in the back of a little industrial building, so it was kind of weird. At first I had reservations about coming in, then I thought a lot of beer brewers are in the same atmosphere and I do that a lot, so why not? I was on my coffee journey. I'm so glad I did went in! I didn't get the name of the gentleman who greeted me, but he was very welcoming. He was just starting a batch to roast and invited me to take a look at the selection he currently had and was helpful with information and available for questions. We had a nice little chat and I bought 3 bags of coffee. My daughter was a roaster and I was excited to share these with her. She tried the Andradas sul de Minas the next morning and LOVED it. I didn't get a chance to make my cup as I was running late, but made my cup this morning. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! What a great way to start the day. My husband and son said the same. We'll go through this bag pretty quickly and can't wait to try the other 2 (La Esmeralda and Cajamarca). If you stop by, don't feel put off that it's not a coffee shop or store front. I felt very comfortable and it was interesting to see "behind the scenes" of a roaster. I'll be coming back with my daughter to if anything by a couple more bags of the Andradas. They also sell online. Please give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I've been in the coffee business for a long time, and clearly Tico is one of the most exceptional roasters I have come across. I am a coffee club subscriber and look forward to the monthly shipment. I have found Tico's selection, roast profile and depth of knowledge of sustainability to yield a consistently fantastic cup. Tico is really a great find. There are a myriad of options, but this is clearly one of the best. Don't miss the chance to give them a try...you won't be disappointed. read more

I have been having Tico Coffee for over a year now and I just became a reviewer on yelp so that I could tell people about my experience with their coffee. I can tell you that if you are looking for quality coffee from people who know what they are doing, you go here. The owners Marianna and Thomas are very friendly and helpful,as they need to be to help you sort through all the selections of coffee that you can choose from. I normally like to have the Costa Rica La Minita blend of coffee, but I also like the Magnolia decaf and the Ethiopian blends as well. Though I must confess I have not tried all of the blends but I am kinda like a creature of habit. The thing I love about their coffee is that they are smooth with complex flavors and have a non-bitter finish to the pallet. These are the types of coffee that make me feel bad to add cream sometimes because I feel it diminishes the aroma and flavor of the coffee. Simply put, their stuff beats the tar out of the Starbucks or Peets blend of coffee that you get in a pinch when you need a fix. If you are a person who likes coffee or just wants to introduce someone to coffee there is no better choice. Go and try it. read more

I really enjoy meeting passionate business owners who care about their product and customers. Although I had liked the coffees I had tried, I was even more fortunate to meet Marianna and Thomas as they were showing off their coffees one day at a food fare. I enjoyed learning about the coffees they sell, the process of how coffee is farmed/prepared, their backgrounds, and their commitment to their products. I subsequently visited their shop in Campbell, received a quick tour, and had a good chat about their successes getting the coffee into stores and workplaces. Marianna reco'd their Los Lobos coffee based on my particular tastes, and its a winner! With all the brands and varieties available, finding the one that is really "you" is pretty hard. Great to have a knowledgeable guide. read more

Looking for delicious coffee roasted from Costa Rico. Look no further. The aromas and wonderful flavor will beat starbucks anyday (and other coffee shops too). I tasted their wonderful coffee at a recent art gallery. Look forward to ordering some coffees through their website. Wish they had a store front. read more

This Company has the most amazing coffee! I have nver tasted anything like it! One is grown in soil near blueberries or something and it has a faint blueberry undertone. Amazing. I purchased one of their richer roasts to try in my desserts and it took my tiramisu to another level! They dont have a storefront, but they have a warehouse where they will start offering tastings. I cant wait! Wish they had a shop but will just buy by the pound and brew at home for now... read more
