Your complete guide to finding authentic civet coffee in the Bay Area — cafes, specialty roasters, and online sellers
San Francisco's world-class coffee scene might lead you to expect kopi luwak on every corner — but it's surprisingly elusive. Several former go-to spots have closed, though a couple of options remain.
Castro Coffee Company is a family-owned coffee house at 427 Castro Street that has been a neighborhood institution for over 25 years. They carry some of the rarest coffees in the world.
Kopiku Coffee (meaning "My Coffee" in Bahasa Indonesia) is an Indonesian-focused cafe at 1443 Lombard Street. A sister company of Beaneka Coffee, it specializes in Indonesian specialty coffees and traditional bites.
With SF's most famous kopi luwak spots closed and remaining options limited, ordering online is the most reliable way to get authentic civet coffee in the Bay Area. We ship to every neighborhood — from the Mission to the Marina.
