Our Story

Today we dedicate our time perfecting the science and art of coffee roasting and blending from our Melbourne headquarters. But our story really began over fifty years ago, on the other side of the world, when a family of eight set out to cross the seas and begin a new life in a foreign country. Their first venture on Australian soil was a milk bar, and from this, their lives took a new direction.

Over the years they embraced the Melbourne lifestyle, enthusiastically contributing to the mosaic of cultures that has made Australia’s culinary capital the rich and diverse city it is today. Discovering a dynamic and sophisticated variety of culinary options, their venues helped cultivate the world-famous Melbourne cafe scene. It wasn’t long before coffee became a central focus and passion. A quest to create world-class coffee blends and brews took hold. Inspired by the adventures and experiences of life, Rubia coffee was born.

At Rubia we believe that when it comes to coffee beans, quality and craftsmanship always takes precedence. Blending, roasting and brewing coffee is an art and a science rolled into one. We are proud to say we have mastered this technique. Our beans grace tables and venues across Australia and the world. Expertly crafted and packed with a lifetime of passion, Rubia coffee is exceptional coffee fit for the world.
