Details

Sam and his children opened the café and Juice bar in the Mission District in San Francisco in March of 2019. The family was always obsessed with coffee and juice and that all started by Sam in Jerusalem in 1969.

​

When we first moved to the Bay Area, we realized that most quality-focused cafes only offered single-origin, lightly roasted coffee.  While extremely high-quality coffee can be roasted light to showcase its origin, many of the coffees we sampled locally did not live up to this ideal, displaying bitter or sour characteristics. 

​

We also visited over 200 juice bars nationwide to be shocked that we can't get just a simple and fresh cup of juice, built on fruits and vegetables. Most of the places we visited use frozen non-fresh ingredients and some mystery powder ingredients. 

​

At that point, we believed that we can step in and bring a different approach to coffee roasting and brewing as well as juicing a simple, fresh, and organic cup of juice. 

Also, We noticed that many places did not place an emphasis on hospitality and education, two important elements of our culture.

​

What makes UpForDayz stand out is not only its approach to coffee and juice but also its fifty-year history.  Sam first roasted coffee growing up in Jerusalem, falling in love with the mythical bean and captivated by bustling souks where hundreds of pounds of coffee could change hands in a single day.  Sam soon found work in the many coffee shops in Jerusalem, learning more about how to prepare and roast each bean to its full potential.  He then moved to Germany, where he was able to learn the secrets of roasting from masters who had perfected their craft through the generations, with a focus on technology and precision.

We started our dream in San Francisco by offering an enjoyable, memorable, and customizable experience to everyone.
