Founded in 2009 by best friends Beverly Magtanong and Jelynn Malone, the company began when the pair volunteered to build homes for the poor in the Philippines. They realized that helping farmers earn a fair wage for their crops was a more sustainable way to create lasting change than charity alone. They enlisted Chef Mike Arquines, who had worked in renowned Michelin-star restaurants, to help create the drinks the cafes are known for. The founding team also includes Sam, a decorated Army veteran with business acumen. Their coffee has earned them the title “Roaster of the Year,” placing them among the world’s finest specialty coffee roasters. The name Mostra, meaning exhibition or show in Italian, reflects the performance backgrounds of the founders, including Beverly’s work as an opera singer and Jelynn’s in television and performing arts.

The business maintains a strong connection to its San Diego roots, describing itself as part of the city’s legacy as coffee partners. It also honors Filipino American heritage, noting the contributions of Filipino laborers to both the Philippines and the United States. The company is recognized as one of America's Top 100 Small Businesses.

Mostra Coffee combines its award-winning roasting with a mission to uplift farmers, serving San Diego with coffee that tastes good and does good.
