About Us

Our Story

Creature Cups® was born in 2010 from a simple idea: to make coffee and tea a little more fun. Our founder, a designer and avid coffee drinker, came up with the concept while working late nights in a Brooklyn studio. Over the years, that passion migrated to our current home in Austin, Texas, where we remain a family-owned and operated company.

As designers at heart, we draw inspiration from all aspects of life—from our morning coffee to afternoon tea, and from childhood memories to amazing creatures we've seen during our travels. We believe in creating products that are not just beautiful, but also thought-provoking, humorous, and fun.

All of our cups are designed right here in the United States and then crafted in Dehua, China, a region with a rich, centuries-long history of porcelain and ceramic artistry. Our mission is to continue to create designs that delight a wide array of audiences, from kitchen enthusiasts to collectors of the weird and wonderful.

Join us, and stay caffeinated.
