Ok, we know Starbucks isn’t yet threatened BUT these Nigerian brothers have found a place at home in Lagos serving the beverage grown in their country to the growing crowd of coffee lovers in the country’s capital.

They hit they market at the right time to create Café Neo in 2012 and now they are growing at an amazing rate with 10 locations serving upscale coffees, bubble tea and snacks throughout the city’s trendy districts.

Ngozi and Chijioke Dozie knew that coffee was a big business globally but at home there were few coffee shops, despite Nigeria being the seventh largest producer of coffee in the world.

So armed with heavy market research and a keen business mind these brothers set out to create the coffee shop experience the capitals residences didn’t know they were missing!

Now, they plan to expand on their menu and possible global expansions are being explored.

So, when they hit American shores maybe you can grace them with your business and give them a shot?
