MEMORYsteam™ is our living tribute to connection, remembrance, and ritual. Our ongoing commitment: annual MEMORY/steam™ initiative donates 100 percent of proceeds to the University of Washington Memory Hub, supporting Alzheimer’s awareness and community programs—a collaborative space supporting individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer's.
Because scent remembers what we forget. Music and smell are the twin carriers of memory—a single note, a familiar fragrance, and suddenly we're back in the golden moment. A backyard laugh. A soft morning. A song in the kitchen.

The Name, The Pour, The Why
Our founder's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's during the COVID-19 lockdown. The world paused, and like so many, their family stayed home—together. That season, once filled with uncertainty became a quiet gift. Time. Presence. Togetherness. It reminded us of what matters. That we are, at the core, social beings.

Why Coffee. Why Memory?
"Scent reaches the brain's memory center in 0.1 seconds—faster than any sense."
Because scent is the strongest sense tied to memory.
Coffee carries over 800 aromatic compounds. Hire us to make every one unforgettable.
Some rituals are too tender to forget.
A Note from the Founder
MEMORY/steam™ honors my father—a quiet community builder who loved people well. Through Social Beans, we turn that love outward: select events each year raise 100% of cart proceeds for the UW Memory Hub and Alzheimer's support. Join us in the pour.

Founder/Creative Director
Created for my father. Pour for memory.

Let's collaborate to design a coffee experience that aligns with your event's narrative—not just the menu.
