About Us
More Than Coffee. A Way of Life.
At Sundrift Coffee, every sip is an invitation—to slow down, connect, and savor something truly special. Rooted in Pacific Beach and inspired by the ocean’s rhythm, we believe in coffee that nourishes both people and planet.
Where the Coast Meets the Cup
Great coffee tastes even better when it’s shared. What started as a small-batch roasting project among friends has grown into a coastal coffee community. Our café is like a second home where the salty ocean air is filled with the aroma of freshly roasted beans and the hum of friendly conversation.
Quality, Sustainability, Connection.
We source only the finest beans from farms that share our values, building relationships that go beyond contracts. Every roast is crafted to highlight the natural character of the bean, from bright, fruity notes to deep, chocolatey finishes. And while flavor is at the heart of what we do, so is responsibility—compostable packaging, fair trade partnerships, and ongoing environmental initiatives are part of our daily work.

For Don Mateo, coffee isn’t just a livelihood, it’s a legacy. His family has cultivated coffee on these hillsides for over four generations, tending the same soil his grandfather once walked. Known for his meticulous hand-picking and sun-drying methods, Mateo produces beans with bright citrus notes and a smooth, caramel finish. His commitment to tradition ensures that every roast carries the flavor and spirit of his homeland.

Javier is always experimenting, whether it’s testing new fermentation techniques or cultivating rare varietals. His adventurous spirit has led to beans with complex profiles, from floral aromatics to rich berry sweetness. But behind every experiment is a deep respect for the land and its rhythms. For Javier, each harvest is a chance to create something extraordinary while honoring the roots of Colombian coffee culture.
