Aviano Coffee was founded in 2006 by Doug and Saadia Naiman to bring a third-wave coffee experience to the Denver market. The company operates as a specialty coffee retailer that partners with the Chicago-based roaster Intelligentsia to supply its menu. It is documented for its role in establishing the third-wave coffee movement in Denver and for its focus on high-end espresso service and community-oriented cafe spaces. The brand has since expanded from its original neighborhood locations to include multiple sites across the Denver area and Denver International Airport.

Ownership
Aviano Coffee is an independent, family-owned business founded by Douglas and Saadia Naiman. While the company has received investment from a group of Denver investors to support expansion, it remains under the leadership of its founders.

Physical

I was able to verify that Aviano Coffee sells bags of retail coffee at their physical cafe locations via their online ordering platform, but I could not find evidence of the brand being sold through third-party online retailers or external grocery stores.
