A German coffee concept, Codos Coffee Roastery, is set to open its first U.S. location at 2665#B Main St. in Santa Monica, bringing its blend of specialty coffee and European hospitality to the coastal city.

The new coffee shop, marked by window paper and a sign at the compact storefront, originates from Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel, where it was founded over a decade ago as a family business with a bulldog named Snatch as its mascot. What began as a single coffee bar has grown into a network of locations across Germany, anchored by a boutique roastery opened in 2017.

Codos emphasizes sustainably grown specialty coffee. “We believe exceptional coffee can do more; it sparks joy, encourages conversation, and brings people together,” the company stated on its website.

No official opening date has been announced.
