From our Founders

AMAZING THINGS ARE HAPPENING, THERE ARE A MILLION REASONS TO FEEL GOOD, AND WE HOPE YOU COME ON THIS JOURNEY WITH US - IN PERSON OR IN SPIRIT.

HERE'S TO FEELING GREAT (AGAIN)

David and Chris

How it started

Chris and David opened up the first Strange Love cafe in 2016.

The duo has always believed in good energy, habits, and people, and it's what inspired their unique community spaces, and their award-winning coffee.

When the pandemic came along, it forced them to think about the future of helping people develop good energy and habits.

"We realized coffee alone couldn’t bring our vision of good energy, habits, and people to life in this new world.

We looked into the past and examined all of tomorrow’s innovations in a pursuit of something magical."

- David Tran, President & Co-Founder

How it's going

Like coffee, David and Chris have applied the same thoughtfulness to adaptogens and functional mushrooms.

We joined forces with Dr. James Yoon to be our in-house naturopathic doctor.

Over the next year Strange Love has gone beyond helping people get energy from caffeine by crafting products that give you the ancient wisdom of mushrooms with modern science.

Every day our mushroom powered products help people just like you focus, relax, and energize.

"Almost every time I have visited Strange Love there is a line out the door; and for good reason. The
coffee is delicious and I love the magic mushroom shots that can be added - something I've never seen before.

The Evolution of Strange Love

2017: Award winning coffee

In 2017, Strange Love won Best New Coffee Shop where the shop was praised for its specialty drinks and quirky design. This was the beginning of a passion for helping people choose to feel their best.

2019: Cultivate Community

We offered coffee subscriptions and built out partnerships with health and wellness focused brands. Although we were establishing a great Strange Love community, we realized we wanted to offer more ways for people to feel great.

2021: Enhance energy

After developing and testing mood boosters in our cafes, we wanted to build the best products to deliver better energy, focus, and vibes to the rest of the world. This resulted in our five newest products, the Mushroom Powered Gummies.
