Kafé Borg

since our great-grandfather’s day

The coffee shop next door has always known best.

Kafé Borg has been roasting, blending and grinding coffee on Tal-Balal Road for four generations. Nicholas and Gaetano run it today the same way their great-grandfather did — good beans, ground fresh in front of you, never marked up more than they have to be.

Roasted right here

Every bean is roasted, blended and ground on Tal-Balal Road — not in some distant factory. If you want it ground while you wait, we’ll do that too.

Priced the way it should be

“The best coffee at the best price” isn’t a slogan we hired someone to write. It’s the line Gaetano and Nicholas actually sign their letters with.

Four generations, one family

Nicholas and Gaetano learned this trade from their father, who learned it from his. Nobody in this shop is new to coffee.

Our story

Not a brand. A family.

Nicholas and Gaetano Borg are the fourth generation to roast coffee under this name. They didn’t inherit a business plan — they inherited a way of roasting, and a shop full of regulars who noticed if the coffee ever changed.

The coffee

Bought by weight. Ground how you like it.

Take the beans home whole, or have us grind them in front of you to suit whatever you brew with. Ask for a single origin, or let us build you a blend of two, three or four. It’s your coffee — we just roast it.
