beanbag Coffee Roastery

Our Story

Beanbag began in 2020 as a passion project in a small Cape Town apartment, born from our founder's obsession with crafting the perfect cup of coffee.

What started as an Instagram account showcasing artisanal coffee brewing techniques quickly evolved into Cape Town's go-to destination for design-forward coffee curation.

Our mission is simple: to help coffee enthusiasts discover exceptional beans and brewing methods that elevate their daily coffee ritual.

We believe that coffee isn't just about caffeine—it's about creating moments of joy and connection in our fast-paced digital world. Each coffee bean in our collection is selected not only for its flavor profile but for its ethical sourcing and sustainable practices.
