OUR STORY
House of Huegah Café was founded by Jay Jivani, a visionary who wanted to create more than just a place to grab a quick coffee—he sought to craft a sanctuary of warmth, comfort, and community in the bustling modern world.
The Inspiration Behind House of Huegah Café
Jay's inspiration came from his love for the Danish concept of "hygge," a word that captures a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life. He believed that the modern café experience could be transformed into something more meaningful, a place where people could slow down, connect, and savor the moment.
Jay’s travels to Scandinavia introduced him to the hygge lifestyle, where cafés weren’t just places to get a caffeine fix, but hubs of warmth, relaxation, and connection. He envisioned bringing this unique atmosphere back home, creating a space where people could experience the same sense of comfort and belonging that he had felt during his travels.
Creating a Hygge Haven
In 2023, Jay opened the doors to House of Huegah Café, a space meticulously designed to embody the spirit of hygge. The café’s interior is a blend of Scandinavian simplicity and modern comfort. Natural wood tones, soft lighting, and cozy seating areas invite guests to linger and unwind.
Jay was deeply involved in every aspect of the café’s creation, from selecting the handcrafted furniture to curating a menu that reflects his commitment to quality and sustainability. The menu at House of Huegah Café offers a range of comforting beverages and dishes, all made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. From rich, aromatic coffees to warm, buttery pastries, every item is crafted to bring a sense of joy and comfort to those who visit.
A Community Hub
Jay’s vision for House of Huegah Café was not just about creating a beautiful space—it was about building a community. The café quickly became a gathering place for people from all walks of life. Whether it’s a quiet morning with a book, a lively afternoon with friends, or a peaceful evening filled with the soft strumming of a guitar, the café offers something for everyone.
Regular events, such as poetry readings, live music, and mindfulness workshops, help to foster connections and bring people together. Jay believes that in a world that often feels disconnected, places like House of Huegah Café are vital for nurturing the human spirit.

Jay’s commitment to the values of hygge—comfort, connection, and contentment—continues to guide the café’s evolution. House of Huegah Café isn’t just a place to eat or drink; it’s a place to experience the warmth of human connection and the joy of living in the moment.
