A Coffee Expedition from Colombia to Los Angeles CA

The Boy & The Bear - Coffee Roastery was established in 2012 as a pop-up shop in Villavicencio – Colombia with the goal of exclusively serving Colombian coffees. The ambition of our new coffee brand was to develop close relationships with our coffee farmers and work directly with our the people who source our coffees. The relationships we build create trust and a mutual standard of excellence. We believe transparent and honest connections builds a better world for both for us, delivering and enjoying exotic, and rare specialty coffee in Los Angeles, and for our amazing farmers who produce top-quality coffee in a country that delivers some of the best coffees in the world.

World Class Coffee

Our goal as a coffee roasting company is to serve the best cup of coffee you have ever had. It is not an easy task but something we strive for every day by sourcing coffees directly from Colombia, carefully roasting in Redondo Beach, brewing and serving it in greater Los Angeles.

Culture & Community

The Boy & The Bear has a high belief in customer service and we work to create a unique and friendly environment that speaks to the warmth and magic of Colombia, the source of our coffee and inspiration. The Boy & The Bear is not solely focused on specialty coffee. We aim to impart the Colombian culture, sounds and people, for whom we have a deep, enduring love and respect.

State of the art design

The sensibility for unique design and aesthetics have always foundational for our specialty coffee brand at The Boy & The Bear. Our stores are carefully thought - each element intentioned to impart the Colombian culture and speak to the rich fauna, flora, of its land - as well as the exotic sounds and flavors created in the deep of the magical South American rain forests.
