Our Story
Founded in 2016, A R K began with a simple yet powerful idea: to craft exceptional specialty coffee experiences while building a space rooted in connection, creativity, and community. What started as a neighborhood café has since grown into a multifaceted brand, guided by quality, sustainability, and innovation.
From day one, we’ve remained committed to sourcing only the finest, ethically-grown beans from sustainable farms around the world. Each batch is expertly roasted to highlight the unique character of every origin—transforming each cup into a sensory journey from seed to cup. But more than just coffee, A R K has become a place where people come together—for conversations, inspiration, and memorable moments.
As we’ve grown, so has our vision. Today, A R K is expanding its reach and impact across new dimensions:
A R K Roasters: Our in-house roastery, dedicated to producing high-quality, single-origin coffees.
A R K TEA: A curated line of premium specialty teas sourced from renowned tea regions in China and beyond, now available for retail and wholesale.
A R K RECYCLE (in progress): A sustainability initiative focused on transforming coffee by-products into natural, eco-friendly products. We have entered the foundational stages with research, applications, supplier connections, and collaborations with related organizations already underway.
A R K CHOCOLATE (in the pipeline): Our upcoming bean-to-bar chocolate line, currently in development, that will bring the same values of transparency, craftsmanship, and quality to fine chocolate.
A R K APP (coming soon): A digital experience that will offer mobile ordering, delivery, pickup, rewards, wallet integration, and impact tracking—all designed to enhance customer engagement and convenience.
At the heart of A R K lies a deep commitment to sustainability. From using biodegradable packaging to exploring regenerative solutions for waste, we believe every step we take should leave a positive impact on both people and planet. We are proud to collaborate with forward-thinking partners and institutions to create solutions that align with our values.
Looking ahead, we are building a future full of possibilities. With plans to grow our presence both physically and digitally, launch new product lines, and implement smarter, more sustainable systems, A R K continues to evolve—always rooted in authenticity, innovation, and care.
At A R K, every cup tells a story. And our story is just beginning.
