Leaving a Legacy...
In 2010, three passionate dreamers with a shared vision for good business and exceptional coffee founded Legado Coffee Roasters. From the beginning, legacy has been at the heart of our journey, driving us to craft a company that honors every element of the coffee experience—from sourcing to that perfect, memorable sip.

Our Roots
Our story took root with the discovery of a piece of South African coffee history: one of the country’s original Diedrich roasters. It was a journey shaped by persistence and passion as we persuaded its long-time owner to entrust us not only with this remarkable machine but also with his invaluable expertise. This combination of precision craftsmanship and mentorship became the cornerstone of Legado, enabling us to transform a dream into reality.
As our reputation for excellence grew, so did our capabilities, allowing us to expand into contract roasting and collaborate with a wider community of coffee enthusiasts and businesses.
Over the past decade, our relentless focus on quality has not only shaped the coffee experience for our customers but also left a meaningful imprint on the Cape Winelands. Today, Legado stands as a testament to what passion, dedication, and respect for the craft can achieve. Our influence continues to ripple across South Africa’s specialty coffee scene, solidifying our role in its growth and evolution while honoring the legacy of those who inspired our journey.

Our Craft
At Legado, excellence is not just a goal; it is the foundation of everything we do. Our dedication to quality begins long before the first sip and is woven into every step of our process. From meticulous planning and sourcing to the careful crafting of each brew, we approach our work with unwavering precision and an eye for detail. This commitment ensures that every cup we serve reflects our passion and expertise.
Our relentless pursuit of the perfect cup drives us to innovate while staying grounded in time-honored techniques. Combining professionalism with creativity, our team works tirelessly to craft coffee experiences that delight and inspire. We believe that coffee is more than a beverage—it is a journey of discovery, connecting people to the rich diversity of origins and flavors that make each bean unique.
Our approach leans toward a light, nuanced roast style, celebrating the intrinsic characteristics of every bean we source. This allows the vibrant, distinct flavors of each origin to shine through, creating a cup that tells a story with every sip. At Legado, we take pride in delivering an experience that is as rewarding to our customers as it is delicious, inviting them to share in our passion for coffee crafted with care and purpose.
