In 2008, Eleftherios Kyriakakis opened the first Mikel Coffee café in Larissa, Greece, with a dream to create a community around coffee. Inspired by the idea that coffee is more than a drink—it’s a moment of connection—he built a brand that blends Greek warmth with global appeal.
From that single café, Mikel grew into a global network of over 410 locations, each designed to feel like a home away from home. Our franchisees are part of a story that values quality, authenticity, and the joy of shared moments over a cup of coffee.

Mikel coffee Story
From a single café in Larissa to a global coffee community
In 2008, Eleftherios Kyriakakis opened the first Mikel Coffee café in Larissa, Greece, with a vision to create more than just a coffee shop—a place where people connect, inspired by the slogan “Maybe It’s Knowledge Entering Life.”
Rooted in Greek authenticity, Mikel combines premium coffee with a welcoming atmosphere, emphasizing quality, design, and community. Despite Greece’s economic challenges, the brand grew, launching its franchise model in 2011.
Today, Mikel operates over 410 cafés in 19 countries, adapting menus and designs to local tastes while maintaining its Greek identity. The brand continues to innovate with its R&D unit and comprehensive franchise support.
