Löfbergs Lila is a coffee roastery in Karlstad, Sweden. It was founded in 1906 by the three brothers Josef, Anders and John Löfberg.

Löfbergs Lila is today one of the largest coffee roasteries in the Nordic countries. The company is still family owned and is now in third and fourth generation. The main office and one of the roasteries is in Karlstad. They own 50% of Peter Larsens Kaffe in Viborg, Denmark. Löfbergs Lila also owns Kobbs tea. The company has 200 employees. As of 1999 the company had a 20% market share in Sweden.[1]

In recent years Löfbergs Lila have strengthened their position in the market, with an emphasis on social responsibility and working for a better environment. Löfbergs Lila is one of Europe's largest importers of organic and fair trade coffee, as well as being Sweden's major supplier of coffee to restaurants, cafés and companies.

Löfbergs Lila sponsors the ice hockey team Färjestads BK as well as Löfbergs Lila Arena. For many years Färjestad's team colours were the same purple and yellow as Löfbergs Lila's colours, but that was changed for the 2006/2007 season.
