About Us
Coffee Inspired by the Journey
Boarding Pass Coffee is a travel-inspired specialty coffee roaster with locally owned coffee shops and cafés serving Metro Atlanta and North Georgia.
Our Story
Coffee and travel have always been at the heart of Murilo and Christine Santos' story.
Their coffee journey began in 2013, when Murilo brought Christine to meet his family at Fazenda Sant'ana, the family's coffee farm in Serra Negra, Brazil, just outside São Paulo.
Weekends at the farm were filled with family, fresh air, and, of course, incredible coffee. Fazenda Sant'ana quickly became a special place for the couple—a welcome escape from the city of São Paulo and, eventually, the setting for their wedding.
After moving to the United States in 2018, Murilo and Christine began roasting coffee themselves, bringing a little piece of the farm — and the memories that came with it — to their new home.
In 2020, they combined their love of coffee and travel to create Boarding Pass Coffee.
Our Roots Run Deep
Fazenda Sant'ana is more than part of our supply chain. It's part of our family story.
Boarding Pass Coffee serves specialty coffee from our family farm in Brazil alongside thoughtfully selected coffees from other destinations across the global coffee belt—all roasted locally in Georgia.
