Franchise Opportunity · Colombian Specialty Coffee · UK
Franchise with Hermanos Colombian Coffee Roasters.
Rooted in Colombia. Grown in the UK.
Hermanos began as a pop-up with a simple idea, to bring the true spirit of Colombian coffee to the UK. Ten locations later, that idea has become a proven, premium coffee shop business, built on direct trade sourcing, in house roasting and a hospitality experience customers keep coming back for. We’re now opening the brand to franchise partners who share that same standard and passion.

A London Brand, Rooted in Colombia
Born in London. Built one neighbourhood at a time.
Hermanos began with a single pop-up in London, founded by Santiago and Victor Gamboa, and Adnan Millwala. What started as one stall has grown into 10 locations across the capital, anchored by our own roastery in Walthamstow. Every bean is sourced directly from Colombian farmers and roasted in-house, so quality stays consistent wherever you find us in London.
Three ideas have guided every location we’ve opened:
- Bringing Colombia to London. Sharing our culture and heritage authentically and with respect.
- Caring for our communities. Working directly with farmers, and playing a genuine part in the London neighbourhoods we open in.
- Taking pride in what we create. Holding every location, wherever in London it sits, to the same high standard.
Built on heritage, direct trade and hands-on quality, Hermanos is a brand London customers already trust, and we’re ready to grow further across the capital.
From Colombian Farm to London Cup
More than a coffee shop.
Hermanos coffee is direct-trade and fully traceable, roasted in-house at our Walthamstow facility before reaching any of our London stores. Every batch is checked against the same standard, so the cup in your hand tastes the same whichever part of London you’re in.
The offer goes beyond what’s served over the counter, too. Our range includes retail coffee beans, tasting kits, gift sets, pods, accessories and merchandise.
For franchise partners, that range means several income streams beyond coffee sales alone. For customers across London, it means more reasons to keep returning.
Six reasons London operators choose Hermanos
A brand London already trusts, and one that’s ready to grow.
Hermanos gives franchise partners a proven model, a distinctive product and the operational backing to build a premium coffee business across London with confidence.
A Name Londoners Already Know
An established name across London, Hermanos won Best Independent Coffee Shop and Best Multiple Operator at the 2025 London Coffee Festival Awards, proof that our specialty coffee scales. Yet customers visit for more than the coffee, they come back for the warmth, culture and atmosphere that makes Hermanos different.
Coffee That Stands Out
Directly sourced, premium Colombian coffee, roasted in-house at our own roastery in Walthamstow. A defining coffee experience customers won’t find anywhere else in London.
A Proven London Business Model
Founded in London in 2016, Hermanos has grown from a single pop-up to 10 locations across the capital, backed by an in-house roasting facility that ensures consistency and strong operational performance.
More Than Coffee Sales
Franchisees benefit from additional income beyond the counter, including single origin retail beans, tasting kits, merchandise, coffee subscriptions and home brewing equipment.
Comprehensive Support
Franchisees are backed by training, established operational systems and marketing expertise, built on a model that’s already working across 10 London sites.
Ready to Grow Across the Capital
Driven by sustained growth, a distinctive brand and a blueprint for expansion, Hermanos is ready to open further across London and the surrounding areas.

The Ideal Hermanos Franchisee
We’re looking for London operators, not just investors.
The ideal Hermanos franchisee is an experienced, growth oriented operator who combines sharp commercial acumen with a genuine respect for premium brand integrity. Whether launching a single Hermanos site or pursuing multi-unit development across London, they bring:
- A proven track record: experience in food & beverage, hospitality, retail or franchising is preferred.
- Execution focus: strong operational discipline, from managing people to maintaining consistent quality.
- Local market expertise: real knowledge of their target London territory, its property landscape and its customers.
- An understanding of premium value: recognising Hermanos as a speciality product built on storytelling, quality and heritage, not a high volume commodity chain.
- A commitment to customer experience: creating a welcoming, vibrant, refined atmosphere that matches the quality in the cup.
- A growth mindset: the ambition and the financial liquidity to expand beyond a single site over time.
