The word “Home in Vienna” in the logo goes back to the opening of this first coffee shop in Vienna. All components, products and ideas were taken over by the Schärf group of companies.

In 2001 the Coffeeshop Company was spun off from the responsibility of Alexander Schärf & Söhne GmbH and became an independent company within the Schärf Group. The number of shops continued to grow. The first mobile coffee shop for the management of events went into operation.
