ILLY

We operate Italian-style coffee bars that serve espresso, cappuccino, specialty coffee drinks, light snacks, and other food and beverage items under the ILLY name. Our locations also sell packaged roasted coffee, coffee-related products, and home-use items such as coffee machines and cups. We serve customers who want a place for both on-premises seating and take-out, with a menu built around our proprietary recipes, formulas, and techniques. Each location is designed and operated to our standards, with a distinctive café layout, signage, furnishings, and customer service system. We can operate in traditional standalone sites as well as non-traditional settings such as airports, hotels, museums, educational facilities, and other managed food service venues.
