Britt

North American coffee broker Steve Aronson founded the company in 1985 to market roasted Costa Rican coffees to the domestic market. It was the first gourmet coffee roaster in the country; since at that time, most high-quality coffee was exported to foreign markets. Aronson decided to promote the idea that good quality should also be consumed locally. The name Britt is a tribute to Scandinavian countries, which are some of the largest consumers of coffee; Britt was chosen through a contest to pick a name.

The company expanded its operations with the introduction of chocolates in 2000, as well as opening its first store at Juan Santamaría Airport in 2001. In 2003 it added further stores at various hotels popular with tourists in Costa Rica. In 2005 new stores were opened in Perú, the Caribbean, and Chile. In 2009, after a successful transition, Philippe Aronson replaced his father and assumed the role of president.

In 2017, Grupo Arribada split into two different companies: Morpho Travel Experience and Café Britt. This allowed the company to focus on producing and commercializing gourmet products, operating cafés, and running the Britt Coffee Tour. Philippe Aronson is the CEO of Café Britt.

Café Britt produces and sells gourmet products, with a focus on coffee and chocolate. Product lines includes Café Britt, Britt Chocolates, and Britt Cookies. The company offers capsules for espresso machines under the brand Britt Espresso, as well as related espresso machines.

In 2017, Café Britt opened the first location of its eponymous café, Britt Café & Bakery.
