Pikola
🇨🇿 Šumperk, Czech Republic
It was 2014, and Šumperk was missing a café with good coffee and desserts.
What's more, the ground floor of their building had empty spaces that were almost impossible to rent out. At the time, nearly everything in Šumperk's historic centre was available for rent. This part of town simply wasn't attracting businesses.
But they decided to change that and open a tiny café with the fitting name Pikola.
After several years of running the café, the natural next chapter arrived – roasting their own coffee. They wanted full control over its quality and to offer it exactly the way they themselves wanted to drink it.
They roast coffee regularly in small batches to ensure it is always fresh. Their gentle roasting approach respects the coffee's origin and brings out its natural flavours, whether you prepare it as espresso or filter coffee.
They use modern Loring technology and, after roasting, package the coffee using compressed argon, which helps preserve its freshness and aroma.
