Jandii Cafe is set to open at 1100 Taraval St. in San Francisco on June 16, 2026.

One of Jiyeon Choi’s most comforting childhood memories involves a freezing day and a warm scone. While traveling in New York City, she stumbled into a cafe to escape the bitter weather. She still remembers how the how the fresh scone with butter and jam warmed her up from the inside out — an experience that ultimately inspired her to open her very own cafe.

Choi, who co-owns popular restaurants Sweet Maple, Kitchen Story and more with her husband, Hoyul Steven Choi, is opening three locations of a new concept called Jandii Cafe. The first Jandii is scheduled to celebrate its soft opening in San Francisco’s Parkside neighborhood at 1100 Taraval St on June 16. The menu will be simple, focusing on the three items Jiyeon loves most: freshly baked scones with housemade jam and cream, ceremonial-grade matcha imported from Japan, and coffee.
