Kava Family

The kava family roastery was founded in 2018 when Ivana and Marko decided to open their first coffee place on the island of Hvar after years of travelling for wedding photography. From an abandoned space, they created kava37 café and gradually expanded their project to other businesses in Split - kava2 café and their own kavaRO roastery. Their concept is based on simplicity: the name "kava" (Croatian for coffee) accompanied by the number of the house in which the café is located.

Their approach to coffee is as personal as their approach to people. Their own packaging often carries elements of family history, such as a 1965 photograph of Mark's father. The Kava family emphasizes hospitality and a conscious connection to the entire coffee chain - from the farmers to the guests in the café. Their motto of "beautiful coffees by beautiful people for beautiful people" is reflected in their selection of coffees as well as in their roasting style and service. Their businesses in Split and Hvar function as an "extended living room" - a space where the community meets, works, reads or just enjoys a cup of honest coffee.
