After opening 314 locations in 30 countries, Coffeeshop Company opened its first U.S. location in The Woodlands in July 2015.

The family-owned franchise began in Vienna, Austria, in 1999 and has been expanding ever since. Julia Renner, an associate in the operations department, said since opening its first U.S. location in The Woodlands, business has continued to increase.

“Customers like that we table-serve and that we also serve sweets and pastries from a European bakery,” Renner said. “We have a very busy drive-thru, too.”

The coffee shop’s menu includes espressos, iced and hot coffees and a variety of other brews as well as croissants, flatbreads, bakery goods and salads.

Renner said the coffee shop will expand its menu to include lunch and dinner items in early 2016.

“A lot of people like that we just don’t sell coffee,” she said. “In January we will start an expansion of the menu. We have a very high quality of the way we do everything here.”

While there is only one Coffeeshop Company location in The Woodlands area, Renner said customers can expect two more locations in 2016—one in the Village of Creekside Park and another at a yet-to-be determined location.
