Background: Organic coffee production offers a viable pathway to address critical environmental, social, and economic challenges in the global coffee sector. Despite its growing prominence, the sustainability outcomes of organic practices remain uneven and context-dependent. Objective: This study provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the relationship between organic coffee production and sustainability, adopting a triple-bottom-line perspective that integrates ecological, social, and economic dimensions. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA protocols, comprising 108 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus (2000–2024). Bibliometric analysis (via VOSviewer®) and thematic content analysis were employed to identify research trends, challenges, and opportunities. Results: The review reveals a sharp increase in sustainability-focused research on organic coffee, centred around agroforestry systems, certification schemes, and climate-smart practices. Key challenges include the limited and uneven effectiveness of certification standards, the environmental externalities of conventional systems, and structural barriers for smallholders. Promising opportunities are emerging through digital traceability, circular-economy innovations, and participatory governance models. Conclusions: Advancing sustainability in organic coffee requires context-sensitive strategies that align environmental stewardship with social equity and economic viability. Future research should prioritise adaptive certification, climate-resilient agronomy, and inclusive supply chain innovation to support transformative change in the sector.
