Oct 13, 2026
(KRON) -- A recently opened Korean-owned coffee shop in San Francisco's Sunset District is expanding with another location in the city. Jandii made its debut on Taraval Street in July and plans to open a cafe in The Castro.
Jandii will open at 3499 16th St. in early November, the business tells KRO
N4. The cafe has not released an official opening date yet.
The coffee shop replaces the space that was previously occupied by Kitchen Story, according to city records. Kitchen Story permanently closed in January, but its Oakland location remains open.
Jandii and Kitchen Story are both owned by the husband-and-wife duo of Hoyul Steven Choi and Jiyeon Choi. They also co-own San Francisco brunch staple, Sweet Maple.
