Ikon Roastery was founded in 2016 by Marcel Costas in South San Francisco, California, after a transcendent coffee experience in 2011 set him on a new path. Costas runs the company alongside co founder and Director of Operations Alex Le as a family business. The roastery produces medium bodied, sweet, juicy profiles and rotates its specialty offerings every ninety days to keep the lineup fresh. Ikon holds California Green Certification for its environmental practices and partners directly with producers who prioritize sustainable farming and fair labor. An Especial Line spotlights exceptionally rare coffees, while everyday offerings like the Carl The Fog blend anchor the roster.
