About us

Sustainability starts with quality

Unkai is a company based in San Diego, California that invests in carefully selecting coffee accessories, drinkware, and tableware that prioritize quality and sustainability. Our products are sourced from companies in Japan and across the world who take pride in creating pieces that are not only functional but also items that give us the opportunity for mindful moments in our daily lives. Our goal is to share these unique products and make them available for everyone.

Why coffee? We believe that coffee isn't just a drink; it's something that brings out the best in moments. Sharing laughter and stories with friends over a steaming cup, savoring a cozy latte with your loved ones, or simply finding solace and joy in a quiet coffee break all by yourself. It's in these coffee moments that we find the warmth of connection and the soothing embrace of simplicity. What's even more incredible is that coffee culture knows no bounds – it's a shared global experience that transcends language and borders. It's cultivated, brewed, and enjoyed across the world. So, when we decided to look for coffee products, we weren't just about serving up delicious brews; we were celebrating the heartwarming connections and the rich tapestry of coffee traditions from all over the world. Here's to coffee and the beautiful moments it brings, right from our sunny spot in San Diego!

Here at our store we find inspiration in the delicate and ever-changing beauty of nature. Just as the Japanese word "Unkai" which describes the sea of clouds formation seen from land, we believe in creating coffee experiences that transport us to moments of tranquility and mindfulness.

We believe in supporting local communities by working with companies of all sizes who create items that are both unique and environmentally responsible. We invite you to explore our selection of products and discover the perfect addition to your coffee ritual.
