A special little coffee shop located right in the heart of Chinatown! Kore offers standard coffee shop fare with a Korean twist: think croffles and tiramisu lattes. The place inside has a few seating areas but is quite tiny. I ended up ordering a strawberry tiramisu latte and an everything bagel croissant and despite it being packed, I got my order relatively quickly. With that being said, it was also quite pricey. My tiramisu latte alone was $7! The tiramisu latte was quite good! Not too sweet with a creamy layer on top. The sauce used had fresh strawberries which was a nice touch. The everything bagel croissant was equally good. A bit buttery, a bit salty, and it had a surprise pocket of veggie cream cheese in between. Overall, if you're hankering for some caffeine and dont mind the price or to go, I would definitely recommend Kore!

Service: 4/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 Ambiance: quiet, bright, chill Cute shop. Not really a place to linger, the limited seats are more for the people waiting for their order. Classic coffee + tea menu w/ a small fun section + seasonal specials. Interested in trying their pastries (croffles, scones) + regular matcha. What I Ordered: - Matcha Tiramisu: good, mild matcha. "tiramisu" topping is like the sbucks cream cold foam - Kore Tiramisu: BIL's go to, orders it every time he's in town. desert coffee vibes.

This place is cute and cozy and is packed when I got there. A tiny coffee shop in the heart of Chinatown. I got an iced matcha latte without sugar and it was just like any other matcha latte. It was purely a refresher for me since it was hot out. They sell tiramisu lattes and croffles in that shop that are very cute and delicious! Going to try those next time! The whole setup is very hip and modern and many cute tables all around you to chill.

While waiting for a spot for brunch, we stopped by Kore for an afternoon pick-me-up. We ordered a matcha latte and tahini black sesame tiramisu latte. Both of these drinks were great! The matcha latte had just the right amount of sweetness that didn't overpower the matcha flavor. The tahini black sesame tiramisu latte is a sweeter drink and a little heavier, but I think it's a great afternoon dessert drink. I would recommend mixing the drink with a straw before drinking it since we just kept getting sips of foam towards the beginning. The drinks are quite pricey so this probably wouldn't be my go-to coffee shop, but they have some unique drinks and are known for their tiramisu drinks! It's a very small space with only a couple tables so you may have to grab your drink to-go. They're also known for their croffles, which looked really yummy but I'll have to save that for next time.

Honestly the best black sesame latte I've had. They're very famous for their tiramisu latte but in my opinion the black sesame latte is better? It's perfectly sweet and savory and not too grainy like a lot of black sesame lattes tend to be. I love it! Good service and not much seating space but cute interior.

Kore Coffee in Chinatown is a charming little spot with a unique twist on coffee treats. The atmosphere is cozy, with just a few tables and bar seating by the window--a perfect spot for people-watching. I had to stop by Kore Coffee the minute I saw they had a tiramisu croffle, and it did not disappoint! The croffle was unexpectedly served cold with cream on top, which worked well to prevent the cream from melting. The pastry itself was a refreshing twist on the classic, and the chilled cream added a delightful contrast to the warm day. Plus, the staff were super nice and made the experience even more enjoyable. Their black sesame tiramisu latte was also a treat! The latte had a rich and flavorful base with a hint of black sesame, topped with an amazingly delicious cream layer that was perfectly creamy and added a delightful sweetness to every sip. While I wished the black sesame flavor was a bit stronger, the overall combination was enjoyable and unique. Overall, Kore Coffee offers a delightful experience with its creative coffee offerings, cozy ambiance, and friendly staff. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit!

Kore Cafe is an absolute gem in NYC! I was visiting with my boyfriend, and once again, it did not disappoint. This is my third visit, and every time I'm in the city, I make sure to stop by. The Tiramisu latte is a must-try--it's simply divine and perfectly captures the flavors of the classic dessert. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great cup of coffee. The staff at Kore Cafe are always friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. If you're in NYC, do yourself a favor and check out Kore Cafe. It's become a staple in my visits to the city, and I can't wait to come back!

Oh look, it's another pricey specialty coffee shop/cafe with an instant chokehold on me. Stopped in during a Chinatown food marathon and ordered an iced tahini black sesame oat milk latte and tiramisu croffle. The latte was phenomenal - I am not usually a sesame fan, but I couldn't resist ordering it due to the color, and it tasted sooo good. Tiramisu croffle was also perfect. Need to try the butterfly pea lemonade next time!

If you're looking for quality drinks, friendly service, and pretty aesthetic within Chinatown, this is the place to be! The speciality drinks are worth the cost ($8-9). My partner got a regular tiramisu latte and I got the strawberry tiramisu latte. We paid almost $20 total with tax. Those serving us were very efficient and friendly. The space inside is a bit tight, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to send one from your party in to order the drinks. We were impressed with the latte art!
