Our Story


Malegría Coffee Roasters was inspired by our shared love of coffee and our family’s multigenerational coffee heritage, rooted in the lush, verdant and fertile mountains of Quindío, Colombia.
Driven by a desire to build on this heritage, we have set out to craft exceptional coffee which honors not only our family's legacy, but the hard work, dedication, and knowledge of coffee farmers around the globe.
In August 2025, Malegría Coffee Roasters proudly opened our community-focused coffee kiosk at 4616 S. Shields Street, located inside the Harmony Library Building on the Front Range Community College campus.
Our mission is to provide exceptional coffee and beverages in a welcoming environment where everyone feels at home and eager to return.
We invite you to stop by, say hello, and enjoy your favorite beverage, or explore one of our Signature Drinks crafted with our house-roasted beans.
Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning ritual or gathering with friends, we hope Malegría is part of your coffee journey.
¡Saludos!
Carlos + Linda
What is Malegría?
A combination of the Spanish words mal (bad; unpleasant) and alegría (joy; happiness), Malegría captures the idea that a meaningful and fulfilling life comes from recognizing that the highs and lows are part of a rich and authentic existence.
