Meet Tony Beatrice, the owner and Director of Cibo Espresso, Glenelg.
Established in December 2024, Cibo Glenelg stands as one of the original Cibo stores to open. Twenty years later, Tony continues to run a thriving business, serving up to 6,000 coffees a week to his loyal customers.
“You see people come in nearly every single day and all of a sudden you become close to these customers. Not only are they customers, but they are also part of your local community and most of all they are really loyal. Without loyalty in a business your business won’t survive,”
Conveniently located within walking distance to the beach, the venue plays tribute to his Italian heritage through the delicious food and beverage offerings, the custom-made La Marzocco coffee machine imported from Italy, along with a floor-to-ceiling mural depicting a countryside near Positano – Tony describes Cibo Glenelg as a venue that makes you feel like you’re on holiday.
Want to know what makes their coffee so delicious? Besides the coffee machine, of course. " It’s the unique blend of beans, a clean machine, and the barista. For taste, it should have a sweet caramel and dark chocolate profile.
A good coffee shop needs to provide the experience of being able to consistently serve up great coffee, which is why our regulars keep coming back after all these years,” Tony describes.
The principles of family, community and good coffee lie at the heart of his business, contributing significantly to the success and longevity of Cibo Glenelg.
