Koré Coffee

Located in the vibrant heart of New York’s Chinatown at 26A Elizabeth Street, Koré Coffee is a charming haven for coffee enthusiasts seeking a unique and inventive café experience. This coffee shop masterfully marries traditional Korean influences with artisanal café culture, creating an inviting space where creativity and quality come together beautifully.

Koré Coffee is a treasure trove of thoughtfully crafted beverages and indulgent treats, with a standout emphasis on their signature tiramisu-inspired lattes. From the luscious Tahni Black Sesame Latte to the delicately balanced Matcha Latte and the classic Tiramisu Croffle, each item delivers a sensory journey that excites the palate and soothes the soul. The croffles—a delightful fusion of croissant and waffle—come in enticing flavors such as Blueberry Seasonal, Chocolate, and the ever-popular Matcha Green Tea Croffle, offering a crispy, buttery texture with every bite.

Customers often praise Koré’s ability to innovate while maintaining a smooth, rich coffee profile. Trevor S captures this perfectly, calling out the tiramisu top as “luscious and truly tasted like tiramisu,” with coffee that carries a “smooth and nice body.” Meanwhile, Claudia K’s glowing recommendation of the Tahni Black Sesame Tiramisu Latte highlights both its bold flavor and versatility, noting it’s delightful even without caffeine but easily customizable with an added espresso shot.

The atmosphere at Koré Coffee is equally inviting, tucked away in a quaint corner that invites both relaxation and discovery. The café’s creative menu offers more than just coffee; for those who crave a bit of savory alongside their sweet, the chicken BLT sandwich paired with a vibrant Strawberry Matcha Latte—described by Stella Toothman as “a good balance of fluffy bread and crunchy crust” with “a good amount of fillings”—makes a satisfying meal.

Koré Coffee stands out as a cozy retreat for those who appreciate artistry in their cup and a menu that sparks curiosity and delight. Whether you're drawn by the rich, creamy tiramisu lattes, the delicate floral notes of a matcha creation, or the crisp, flavorful croffles, this café promises a rewarding experience that justifies every penny—proving that exceptional quality and thoughtful innovation make all the difference in elevating your everyday coffee ritual.
