CIBO Espresso

CIBO Espresso was founded in 2000 by four partners—Marco, Salvatore, Roberto, and Claudio—who shared a vision to bring the sophisticated Italian ‘piazza’ experience to the streets of Adelaide. The first CIBO on Rundle Street revolutionized the local coffee scene, introducing authentic espresso techniques, traditional Italian pastries, and artisan gelato. The founders’ commitment to high-quality beans and a social dining atmosphere quickly resonated with South Australians, sparking a city-wide obsession with premium coffee. CIBO Espresso has since expanded into a well-known franchise, yet it remains headquartered in Adelaide and continues to roast its own coffee locally. The brand emphasizes the importance of the ‘CIBO way’—a blend of passion, quality, and Italian flair. Whether it’s a quick morning shot or a relaxed afternoon treat, CIBO continues to provide an authentic slice of Italy, maintaining its status as a cornerstone of Adelaide’s vibrant café culture.
