This Is Dento
Dento is where sound, flavor, and community come together. We believe the best moments happen when great music meets a good drink in a cozy space. At Dento, you’ll find live piano, warm conversations, and a space that feels like a pause from the outside world.
Whether you’re here to relax with a latte, sip artisan sake with friends, or simply soak in the vibes, we hope you leave feeling a little lighter, a little happier, and already planning your next visit.
The Full Story
Our Story
Dento Piano Cafe & Bar was founded in the heart of SoMa by two partners—I am D.J.(Dongjoo) and I am a registered nurse. And Monica is the pianist who has taught and performed throughout the Bay Area. What started as a shared dream became a space that reflects everything they love: music, culture, conversation, and care. Dento is built around one idea: make people feel good. Every note played, every cup poured, and every guest welcomed is part of that mission. We’re proud to offer a space that feels as good as it sounds, where artistry meets hospitality and everyone is invited to stay a while.

Real Vibes. No Pretenses.

Dento Coffee
Coffee is a ritual, and we treat it like one.At Dento, we serve ethically sourced, beautifully roasted Equator Coffee, a brand we love not only for its bold, balanced flavor but also for its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Enjoy it hot or iced, slow sipped or on the go. Pair it with one of our locally made pastries and you’ve got the perfect start to your day (or a gentle pause in the middle of it).
Dento Wine & Sake
We take just as much pride in what we pour as in what we play. At our wine and sake bar, you’ll find a curated list of small-batch wines, premium sake, and select craft beers chosen to complement your palate and the mood. Whether you’re a sake lover or trying new pairings, our menu is designed to be approachable, exciting, and always evolving. Sit back, relax, and let the night unfold.
