Omkafe' - Torrefazione In Arco

I'm surprised by the quality. The packaging is very simple, not at all enticing. The coffee aroma is incredibly enticing and pleasant, and it tastes absolutely excellent.

beautiful company, excellent coffee

A beautiful roastery just a 5-minute drive from the center of Riva del Garda. I discovered it while drinking their coffee at a restaurant in Riva and was struck by the quality of the product. So I looked up the company online and discovered they also have a coffee museum! The museum is beautiful, where you can see the roasting process, the history, and interesting facts about coffee. You can also taste the coffee, which is delicious! You can also purchase the coffee and related products. A wonderful experience!

I can only report positive experiences. They offer a variety of coffees, all of which are of truly excellent quality. The friendly and knowledgeable staff invites you to sample them and provides excellent advice. The shop is stylishly designed, and they also offer beautifully packaged gift ideas and coffee-related treats. Another highlight is the fantastic museum, where you can learn a great deal about coffee cultivation and history, and even get a glimpse into the production process. A truly wonderful place for coffee lovers. Thank you so much!

A great place for coffee lovers, perfect for a moment of relaxation while exploring the area. Another unique feature is the small coffee museum, with many interesting exhibits and historical curiosities related to coffee culture. Of course, you can also purchase coffee and various coffee-related products and accessories on-site. I highly recommend visiting this place.

I love it! ❤️ As soon as you walk in, you're enveloped in the incredible aroma of coffee, which alone is worth the visit! ☕ The roastery is truly well-kept, with a cute little museum full of interesting details about the history and processing of coffee. It's a shame they weren't working on the day we visited (it was a holiday), because it would have been wonderful to see the whole process in action. But still... so much stuff! 🔥 An absolute must-see if you're in the area: even just to pop into the shop and be tempted by thousands of top-quality products. You seriously risk leaving with bags full of coffee! 😄👏

20 years after Arco, and only now have I discovered my love for coffee – Omkafè is amazing! ​Although I've been going to Arco for 20 years, I only discovered the Omkafè coffee roastery this year (2025) by chance: Our new accommodation had provided a package as a welcome gift. We opened it rather skeptically, thinking we'd buy "something decent" later in the shop. ​What can I say? This coffee is simply outstanding! It pushed our previous favorite brand into second place. The quality and taste are truly exceptional. ​We were so enthusiastic that we bought four kilograms of coffee for the ride home – even though our motorcycles had absolutely no more room! That speaks volumes. ​We received super friendly and competent service at the coffee shop. Everything is pleasantly tidy, very organized, and you immediately feel at home. The lady who served us was very personable and helpful. She even actively thought about it and made a good suggestion for changing our order, which made it easier to fit it into the lack of storage space. I like it when others think for me! I'm already looking forward to next year. We'll be taking less luggage so we can fit more coffee. I could order online, but I definitely want to go back to this lovely shop! Highly recommended for coffee lovers!

Yes, very nice and great coffee to buy.

Some of the best coffee we have ever had! A must stop when we are in Italy 🇮🇹

I can only recommend this place with reservations. The exhibition appears tidy, very well presented, and structured. The free samples of the "coffee specialties" on offer are particularly noteworthy! Even better is the coffee history exhibition/museum and the excursions into coffee production, varieties, growing regions, and processes from cultivation to brewing, as well as a glimpse into the roastery. Unfortunately, the coffee quality served isn't particularly high or diverse (the asking price would still be reasonable in my opinion). Initially, they only work with blends. The roast profiles of the various coffee roasts are very similar (they say "all medium") – rather dark in my opinion. On the day of my visit, none of the espresso samples were extracted for longer than 20 seconds (in my opinion, the portafilter stops as soon as the desired volume has been dispensed into the cup). I tried two roasts. Both tasted extremely unpleasantly acidic and even salty, which, along with the brewing time, indicates a clear under-extraction (this was also my sensory experience). Despite the rather dark roasts and beans used (including Brazilian origins and some with Robusta components), no noticeable bitterness was detectable!). I suggested extracting the coffee a little longer -> using a slightly finer grind. The response to extract the coffee a second time surprised me very much (this would no longer produce an espresso drink and would no longer produce a balanced result). Too bad. The barista is not allowed to make any adjustments, and questions were answered very unprofessionally. Conclusion: + Exhibition - Coffee variety (and certainly also due to the quality of the green coffees used) - Brewing professionalism not present (due to specifications) - Barista professionalism only very limited.
