CONNECTION

Coffee is a special substance. It brings people together. Just like it did with the two of us.

Two people from two different worlds who met in a coffee shop, and their love began with coffee. Jackie and Thu, life partners and creators of Mazelab.

Mazelab is our creative playground, a coffee lab where we roast and brew passionately selected beans for curious minds from all over the world. With care and attention to highlight each variety’s natural character.

Let's connect

BACKGROUND

As a designer originally, I was on track to continue my career in San Francisco. But during a time of soul searching and exploration through travel and landscape photography, an idea struck me in the middle of Iceland - merging a coffee shop with a photo gallery.

My first café opened to fanfare for its latte art, but I quickly realized there was so much more to coffee. It wasn't just about the design on the surface, but the taste, the smell, and the entire sensory journey. This led me to create Mazelab, a space celebrating the many facets of coffee.

After six years in the coffee industry, I decided to dive deeper.

In May 2023, I officially started my coffee roasting project.
I wanted to learn about coffee's journey, right from the green beans. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that my passion isn't just about serving great coffee, it's about being part of its journey from the very start.

HIDDEN GEMS

MY COFFEE JOURNEY

I see myself as a dedicated coffee hunter, traversing landscapes in search of beans with unique and captivating flavors. For me, it’s not about seeking the priciest or the rarest.
It is about discovering hidden gems that offer distinct taste experiences.

This journey to uncover coffee treasures fuels my passion. Each unique flavor I uncover is akin to finding a hidden treasure in the expansive and diverse world of coffee. It’s a joyful adventure marked by the thrill of discovery and a deep appreciation for standout flavors.

My ultimate goal is to share these delightful discoveries with you, inviting you to experience the extraordinary flavors that I’ve been fortunate enough to find.

PROJECTS

We also created Cafefin, the first Vietnamese café in Prague, Format Coffee, a cozy small space focusing on specialty coffee, and Ăn Bistro Cafe, a unique bistro where specialty coffee meets pho.

Each of our places brings a different concept, a different experience, and a very unique vibe.  

But they are all connected by admiration and passion for coffee and the ambition to create a place to relax, a place where we leave behind the tiredness of everyday life.
