There are CIBO Espresso stores all over Adelaide, so you’re guaranteed to find your favourite coffee whenever you need it!
When you hail from the City of Churches, it feels like CIBO has always been there — like an old friend. But you could be forgiven for thinking it’s a national chain because there seems to be a CIBO Espresso around every corner and in every shopping mall, with that bright red signage and familiarity, no matter which one you’re at.
In reality, you’ll only find CIBO in SA, and all 24 stores are owned and run by South Australians. Maybe that’s why so many people go there — to support local? Or, is it because the coffee is so damned good, and you won’t get another one like it anywhere else?
That’s no exaggeration. The coffee at CIBO Espresso is found exclusively in these exceptional local coffee houses — nowhere else. D’Angelo Coffee in Thebarton has been supplying CIBO Espresso since day dot. Their unique blend of coffee was created for the flagship store on the corner of Rundle Street and Frome Road in the city back in 2000; meaning it was created for South Australians, just like fritz, Crows’ Footy Milk, Haigh’s Chocolates and the infamous Pie Floater.
D’Angelo Coffee’s special blend for CIBO comes from not one, but three different flavour profiles found across New Guinea, Ethiopia and Indonesia. As it lands in South Australia, each batch of coffee beans is roasted separately, before being blended with precision to ensure it’s the same quality cup of coffee. Every. Single. Time.
We’re not talking about estimations. The signature coffee blend for CIBO Espresso is done according to the recipe perfected many years ago, and is something Croweaters quickly loved because of that full-bodied flavour and reliability, no matter which store you order from. “We blend the three after roasting to make sure the coffee is the same high quality in each store,” says Tony D’Angelo, Head Roaster for D’Angelo Coffee. CIBO barista training includes a compulsory class at D’Angelo Coffee. Tony also has ongoing dialogue with the baristas at store level to ensure quality and consistency.
No doubt about it, South Australians are familiar with the bright red signage and everything that comes with it: 1) Expert knowledge about real coffee; 2) Toasted banana bread, croissants, chocolate and vanilla custard cannoli; 3) Take-home bags of CIBO beans, ground coffee and pods for their machines at home.
Keep an eye out for the bright red signage all over Adelaide. Molto bene!
