It started with making coffee every morning for someone — exactly the way she likes it.

She can't have caffeine, so hers is always decaf. But she still loves coffee — the ritual, the warmth, the fact that someone made it just for her.

That's what ka fe is. Coffee made personal. Espresso we take seriously, in flavors we actually love — ube, black sesame, matcha — made the way you like it. Our ube latte is built on real ube halaya, not syrup.

The name is the word for coffee — 咖啡, ka fe. Say it out loud and it sounds like "café." We liked that it worked both ways.

Come back twice and we'll know what you drink.
