A Vietnamese American restaurateur is launching a new café, Lêgacy Càphê, in Dorchester, aiming to create a vibrant cultural hub. Located at the former Dorchester Tire site, this café will enhance the local coffee experience while offering a space for community events. Tam Le, known for his family’s Pho Hoa restaurant, plans to introduce this concept by breaking ground soon and opening in spring.
• Lêgacy Càphê will feature a fusion food program and a roastery on-site, focusing on Vietnamese coffee using Robusta beans for a unique flavor.
• The café will address previous limitations of Le's former business, Reign Drink Lab, by providing seating and a food menu.
• The project is supported by a city grant and a partnership with local developers, aiming to kickstart cultural events in the area.
• Le's relationships with Vietnamese coffee producers will ensure high-quality imports and authentic brewing methods.
This initiative is significant as it not only promotes Vietnamese culture but also supports local farmers. By fostering community connections through coffee and events, Lêgacy Càphê is set to become a cornerstone of Dorchester's cultural landscape.
