From an ocean shore
to a Shanghai street.

The story of Brew Island began with a surfing journey in Batukaras, Indonesia. Amidst the tropical ocean breeze, a simple act of kindness—a warm hug exchanged over a cup of coffee—became our earliest inspiration.

The ocean taught us acceptance and flow. We brought the ocean's serenity and healing back into the city, anchoring ourselves in Shanghai to build an Urban Island, a place where you can relax and unwind anytime.
