Luciano's Espresso Bar

luciano profile

Luciano founded Luciano’s Espresso Bar in 2007 and has partnered with GF since day one. His passion for coffee began years earlier while working in a roastery, where he fell in love with the craft behind every cup.

He’s no stranger to competition either—Luciano took a shot at the Barista Championships and went on to compete at the World Barista Championships in Switzerland, proudly placing 7th in the world.

For Luciano, quality and consistency are non‑negotiable, especially when it comes to milk — the heart of his coffee menu. From cream cheese and sour cream to buttermilk and oils, he relies on GF to supply the products that keep his café running smoothly.

Over the years, he’s built a strong relationship with the GF team, trusting them not just for their high-quality products but also for their exceptional service—a value he believes sits at the core of great hospitality.
