For Five Coffee Roasters ready for next phase of growth after attaining fresh investment

The New York specialty coffee roaster and café chain has also added external expertise to its Board of Directors for the first time

New York specialty coffee group For Five Coffee Roasters has set its sights on significant roastery, wholesale and retail growth after attracting new investment.

Founded in 2010 by Tom Tsiplakos and Stefanos Vouvoudakis, For Five has grown from a single micro-roasting facility in Queens into one of the city’s most prominent specialty coffee groups – with operations across retail, wholesale and direct-to-consumer.

For Five currently operates 21 standalone coffee shops, 19 partner cafés inside corporate and hotel venues, and has a further 12 sites in development.
