Magnífico Coffee Roasters: Chicago’s Heartfelt Ode to Colombian Coffee

Nestled in Avondale, Magnífico Coffee Roasters radiates the vibrant spirit of Colombian heritage and family. Founded by the Acebedo family, this Colombian-owned roastery and coffee shop is a deeply personal project inspired by their abuelita, Viri, and brought to life through the collective vision of siblings Angelica and Ricardo Acebedo-Diaz and brother-in-law Adam Frint. The space is warm and inviting, celebrating connection and community in every detail—from the thoughtfully sourced art to the aroma of freshly roasted beans. Every batch is roasted small and fresh in-house, ensuring each cup sings with the soul of Colombia. Their dedication to quality and experience has earned Magnífico Coffee Roasters a nomination for “Best of Chicago Reader 2024” in three categories, cementing their place among Chicago’s specialty coffee elite.

Magnífico’s coffee portfolio showcases single-origin Colombian and Central American roasts, as well as blends like Familia Riojas, San Miguel, and House Espresso. Coffee lovers are treated to both classic brews and specialty drinks, alongside a selection of Colombian pastries—think pan de bono, almojabana, and churros—sourced from local artisanal bakeries. Bagged snacks and authentic sodas round out the menu, delivering a nostalgic nod to the founders’ childhoods. Whether you’re savoring a pour-over or grabbing a box of their signature pastries, Magnífico offers a soulful experience built on empathy, craftsmanship, and a genuine love for coffee. For the ultimate taste, don’t miss their award-nominated house blends or the unique treats that pay homage to their Colombian roots.
