A charming, independent Vietnamese coffee shop located in the East Village. It specializes in traditional Phin-brewed coffee and creative, Asian-inspired lattes using high-quality, often organic ingredients.

A boutique, specialty coffee shop in the Lower East Side/Chinatown area. It is part high-end coffee bar and part antique showroom, founded by a couple who curate a global selection of beans from renowned roasters (particularly from Asia and the US).

A minimalist, Japanese-style "bonbon" shop and sister to the iconic Cha-An Teahouse. It specializes in hand-crafted, to-go Japanese sweets (wagashi), premium matcha, and delicate desserts that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern presentation.

A trendy, Korean-influenced cafe in the East Village that transforms into a speakeasy-style bar at night. It is well-loved for its creative latte flavors and its "hidden" entrance—a bookshelf that swings open to reveal a larger dining and bar area in the back.
