FLORENCE / NEW YORK CITY — La Marzocco and Café Leon Dore unveil a collaboration that celebrates the ritual of coffee through the lens of timeless design and artisanal precision. United by a shared devotion to craft, culture, and community, the partnership brings together two institutions at the forefront of their respective domains.
La Marzocco in partnership with Café Leon Dore
Café Leon Dore, the Greek café under New York City-based fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore, was established in 2019 as an extension of the brand’s flagship stores. Located in the heart of Manhattan’s and London’s SoHo neighborhoods, the cafés offer a curated menu inspired by traditional Greek flavors.
Known for its Freddo espressos, mountain tea, and assortment of Greek pastries, Café Leon Dore has become a gathering place for both locals and those who embrace Greek café culture.
Founded in Florence and revered globally, La Marzocco has defined the gold standard in espresso since 1927—its machines a fixture in cafés, kitchens, and institutions of taste.
As 2025 marks a decade since the introduction of its Home Collection, La Marzocco commemorates this milestone with Café Leon Dore.
Anchoring the collaboration is a limited-edition Linea Micra espresso machine, meticulously handcrafted at Officine Fratelli Bambi, La Marzocco’s atelier outside Florence. Presented in Aimé Leon Dore’s signature palette and finished with bespoke detailing, each piece embodies the pursuit of excellence across continents and disciplines. Limited units will be available exclusively on LaMarzocco.com.
A Linea Classic professional machine, mirroring the design of the Micra, will find its place at Café Leon Dore’s in New York City and London, offering a refined espresso experience set against the backdrop of each city’s distinct energy.
Extending beyond the machines, the collaboration introduces a co-branded capsule collection of an apron, tee, and hat—each piece reflecting the functional elegance of La Marzocco and the style-driven ethos of Aimé Leon Dore. The capsule will be available on Friday, May 9th at 11 AM EDT, in-store and online exclusively at aimeleondore.com.
Together, Café Leon Dore and La Marzocco reframe the coffee ritual—not just as a morning necessity, but as a moment of intention and cultural connection.
