Meet The Team
To some of us, the journey with coffee first started in our homes. And to others, it started with MERAKI's early days. But after a couple of years, we realized that it is more than just about coffee.
We see a coffee shop differently, it is a place for bringing people together, sharing stories, unique experiences, and philosophies. We have different passions and professions. To us, MERAKI is here to push us to the best we can do and to support us in our journeys and goals. We are here to share MERAKI with you.
