About Us

Meet Victoria and Alex, the husband and wife team bringing Leleka Coffee to life!
Originally from the beautiful European city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, we bring over 30 years of combined experience in the coffee world. Our journey started back in the early 2000s. Back then, we worked for big coffee companies, learning everything from brewing and roasting to competing in national and international championships. We also shared our knowledge by training other baristas!
In 2010, we opened the most recognizable specialty to-go coffee shop in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, bringing a fresh wave of coffee culture to the city. Traveling the world has opened our eyes to different coffee traditions, constantly evolving our taste for this amazing drink.
Now, we’re a happy family living in San Diego, California. At Leleka Coffee, we’re excited to keep exploring the world of coffee with you. We want you to start your day (or any time!) with a consistently delicious cup of coffee, brewed from our beans. 
Join us on this exciting journey!
