The Johnston family has coffee at their roots. Shaun and Stephanie met in 2000 while working together in a coffee shop. Shaun managed a coffee shop for many years, and they eventually bought a mobile coffee trailer long before the food truck craze began. They moved to Spain in 2015 to work with various Christian churches and organizations, searching out the best specialty coffee in each town that they visited.
After moving to San Roque, Cádiz, they discovered a lack of specialty coffee in the area and armed with their experience and passion for coffee, launched Refugio Coffee Roasters. Refugio refers to a spiritual refuge in God and hope that it will be a refuge for other coffee enthusiasts.
With a commitment to ethical sourcing and roasting exceptional quality coffee, Refugio will also contribute to organizations which care for the spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing of individuals and communities. The Johnstons have a deep love for family, faith and coffee and they long to share their love of coffee with you. We won’t be surprised if you quickly change from customer to friend.
We sure hope you do!
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble – Psalm 46:1
