History
The Coffee Club was founded in 1989 in Brisbane by Emmanuel Kokoris and Emmanuel Drivas, with the vision to create more than a café – a social hub built on Good Food, Great Service, and Excellent Coffee. Joined by John Lazarou in 1990, the brand expanded rapidly, becoming a household name across Australia and beyond. Today, with nearly 400 stores across 13 countries, The Coffee Club remains true to its promise while continuing to innovate and grow.
