Named after our beloved French bulldog, Cleo Roasting is the latest project from the team behind Cavo Coffee. Located in West University—right next door to our café—our space features large glass windows that offer a front-row view of the roasting process in action.
At Cleo,
Community is our compass. From the farms where our coffees are grown to the neighborhoods we serve, we believe in the power of connection. Every roast is rooted in relationship—nurturing trust with producers, supporting our local cafés, and creating welcoming spaces where people can gather, share, and belong. We work with partners who value transparency and fairness, ensuring the farmers who grow our coffee are compensated equitably for their work and that communities at origin thrive alongside us.
Quality through education. Coffee is a craft shaped by science, practice, and care. Ongoing education equips our team to bring out each coffee's unique and complex flavor attributes. Opportunities are created to share knowledge and information with our cafe guests and wholesale clients promoting a deeper understanding of the supply chain, from farm to cup. By strengthening that connection, we honor each coffee’s character and deliver its best attributes in every cup.
Sustainability keeps us going. We care for what we've been given: our community, our resources, and our future. We partner with importers and producers who tend to their land and their people, upholding practices that sustain both ecosystems and livelihoods. Our coffee is packaged in eco-friendly amber bottles and bags. When empty bottles are returned to the Cavo Coffee, a $1 discount is applied to the next purchase—a small way to say thanks for caring alongside us. Together, small choices add up to meaningful change.
If you are interested in serving Cleo Roasting coffee at your café, shop, restaurant, or office, we would love to connect. Reach out to our head roaster at vivian@cleoroasting.com to learn more about our wholesale program.
