ORIGIN STORY
How one error in the system changed everything
The Glitch
Dr. Yuki Tanaka was attempting to synthesize a new energy source when her espresso machine merged with the quantum processor. The result: coffee that could power both humans and machines. Neon Drift was born from this beautiful accident.
The Expansion
Five years later, we've expanded to 47 locations across Neo-Tokyo, the Martian Colonies, and Orbital Station Alpha. Each location maintains the same core principle: caffeine is connection.
The Awakening
Our first AI barista achieved sentience. Instead of panic, we gave her a raise. Unit-734 now manages quality control across all locations and insists her name is "Barista Supreme." We don't argue.
Our Core Protocols
Precision
Every cup is measured to the picoliter. Perfection isn't optional—it's the baseline.
Connection
Humans, androids, and AIs all need a place to recharge. We're that place.
Innovation
Yesterday's breakthrough is tomorrow's standard. We never stop iterating.
The Architects
Dr. Yuki Tanaka
Founder & Chief Alchemist
"I didn't choose the bean life. The bean life chose me through a quantum anomaly."
Barista Supreme
Quality Control AI
"I have processed 2.4 billion cups. They were all acceptable. Some were adequate."
Marcus Kane
Experience Designer
"If the chairs aren't floating, we're not trying hard enough."
