ABOUT US

DOAN BEGAN AS A SINGLE CAFE AND HAS SINCE GROWN INTO A PLATFORM
CONNECTING VOICES, TASTES, AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS KOREA AND BEYOND.

DOAN began as a single café and has since grown into a platform connecting Korea with the global coffee community.

What started with a simple desire to share good coffee led us to import beans from overseas roasteries for our own café, marking the beginning of our journey in coffee distribution.

Building on this platform, we expanded our offering by adding our well-loved bakery menu, broadening the everyday experience of enjoying coffee. Over time, our experience in bean distribution led us to directly import green coffee beans from around the world.

Working with green beans naturally fostered collaboration and exchange with local roasteries, and today, we also export exceptional Korean micro-roastery coffees to the global market.

SMALL JOYS MAKE BIG DAYS 

It all began with something simple: joy.

Working with genuine enjoyment naturally brought sincerity, and that sincerity deepened over time—creating a sense of depth that, in turn, resonated with people.

Good coffee, ultimately, is meant to reach people. DOAN is about shaping that journey.

While we work with coffee, what we truly hope to convey is something deeper—feeling itself. That is why DOAN strives to become a bridge, connecting people to people, and brands to brands.
