Coffee has been banned five times in the course of history, the first offense was for “stimulating radical thinking.” However, from the monks of Ethiopia to the cowboys of the American west, coffee has been revered by the wild ones,  supporting dreams of a world they set out to create.  It has been fought for, stolen, smuggled, worshipped,  and blessed in its quest to accompany the brave.

Founded in the hills of Laurel Canyon, Bandido is our effort to honor this legacy. Our mission is to once again “stimulate radical thinking”. Our purpose is to support the creators, change makers, risk takers and troublemakers in the pursuit of their dreams. Our commitment is to make great coffee that you can count on, sustainably, taking care of those around us, our planet, and to have some fun along the way.
