The BAQUE family's relationship with the world of coffee dates back to the beginning of the last century. After three generations, CAFES BAQUE is a leader in the hotel and catering sector in the Basque Country and is ranked among the top coffee roasters in Spain, competing with large multinationals and other regional companies.

The company's market is mainly concentrated in the autonomous regions of the Basque Country, in the provinces of Biscay, Alava and Guipuzcoa, in Navarra, and in neighbouring provinces. In recent years, the CAFES BAQUE brand has expanded its market to the provinces of Madrid and Avila. However, far from maintaining a market policy limited to these territories, the company has chosen to grow strategically through the acquisition of other top roasting companies in the domestic market. In 2005, they acquired all the shares of CAFES GREIBA, leader in the hotel and catering industry in La Rioja and also a family-run company which based its strategy on product quality and service. In addition to marketing its products under the BAQUE and GREIBA brandnames, CAFES BAQUE supplies the private label coffee of one of the main coffee distribution companies in Spain.

Our coffee company, currently chaired by María Baque, is pioneer in taking on social responsibility actions, what is known today as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). One example of this is CAFES BAQUE´s commitment to promoting and supporting sports from the ground up-focusing on children and young people- as a fundamental factor in contributing to society's educational growth. Due to years of tireless effort, CAFES BAQUE is one of the best-known food brands in its market area. Its social work has been recognised by institutions and society alike, and has been confirmed by the numerous awards they have received.
