    Matcha croffle
    Pooja S.

    Came in around 11 AM on a Sunday of a long weekend. The place is small, with two tables and two window seating, cozy, and both tables were occupied with one person ordering. I orders my items, and opted to get things for dine in. The drink and croffle both came out within minutes. I really liked the tiramisu foam, it was thick and sweet. I also got the matcha croffle. The croffle had a nice crunchy texture, and the matcha cream had a good matcha flavor with a touch of bitter that helped balance everything out. Price for both items came to about $19! Nice place to stop by, if I came again I'd definitely get the drink again.

    Their tiramisu latte lived up the hype! It was creamy and thick without losing the espresso flavors. Loved how it wasn't too sweet and initially complemented by the semi-bitter cocoa power. I also appreciated how "drinkable" the cream layer was (compared to other NYC tiramisu lattes that may involve more vigorous or mechanical mixing). This small coffee shop has limited seating and tables. I've seen how busy it can get from my times walking past. Luckily I managed to visit right after the post-lunch crowd and got my drink in no time. Service was pretty standard. Free wifi available. Definitely want to check out their other drinks next time!

    Store front with Tahni Black Sesame Tiramisu Latte with extra shot of espresso

    I ordered a Tahni Black Sesame Tiramisu Latte with an extra shot of espresso damn it's very good. The richness of the coffee bean and subtle taste of the sesame infused tiramisu was amazing. The staff are so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The ambiance has great music and sit down place to enjoy.

    Great little coffee place with great friendly hospitality. It's not big but with several inside chairs/tables for dine-in and warm cozy decor, and nice background music makes this place a fun vibe to be at. Great choices of coffee and others with a handful baked goods. Staff are wonderfully helpful and cheerful. The drinks are greatly mixed and rep & tasty. Really enjoyed it here.

    A really small, quaint, yet is a hidden gem in Chinatown. This place is very tiny, but it looks different, very minimalistic but intimate at the same time. You rarely get space to yourself, let alone a place where you can decompress since the city is always moving, it can be alot for someone that's just visiting. Fortunately I happened to stumble this place while checking out Chinatown. It was a bit packed where I would have gotten something to drink but unfortunately I ended up getting something to snack on. That happened to be this Matcha Croffle dessert that was really sweet but yet so delicious. How do I describe the Matcha Croffle? It's like a hybrid between a Crossaint and a Waffle. Or that's what I think it is. I'm sure if you like the idea of waffle like dessert topped with Matcha cream and powdered matcha on top, you might like this. I certainly did. My stay here wasn't too long but I think when I come back I'd definitely try out the sesame latte! It looks interesting to check out.

    Matcha tiramisu latte
    Dhriti N.

    Honestly it was yummy in a dessert way. It was definitely enjoyable to drink. But it wasn't really tiramisu-y, tasted like a verryyy sweet matcha latte with whipped cream on top. I prefer stronger matchas so I would ask for it less sweet next time. Enjoyed it as a dessert drink though. Place is small cute clean, nice to sit. Drinks were made soo quick! Overall 8/10 for yummyness and 7/10 for a strong matcha drink.

    Kore Coffee Tiramisu

    Kore Coffee was one of the nicer coffee stops we tried in the area. The tiramisu coffee was honestly amazing and easily the highlight here. Smooth, creamy, and strong enough to still taste the espresso without being overly sweet. The café itself had a very chill and cozy vibe that made it easy to relax for a bit, and the staff were friendly throughout the visit. Seating is limited since it's a smaller shop, but the atmosphere worked well for it. We also tried the matcha and it was pretty underwhelming compared to the coffee options. Definitely stick with the coffee menu here, especially the tiramisu drink.

    Found in a sidestreet off Canal, Kore was such an amazing experience. This trip to New York City really made me appreciate the compact architecture that many businesses here work with. It provided a much more intimate experience and really made me feel like I was part of the city. Kore's tiramisu drinks were heavenly. You can taste the freshness of their coffee and the tiramisu sweetener was not overpowering at all but a very exciting addition. I tried my friend's tiramisu matcha and you can tell that matcha is high quality. The workers were also so friendly and helpful. If I lived in the city, this would definitely be one of my favorite spots to go to.

    Kore Coffee - Chinatown NYC | 10:00 A.M EST Sunday Oct 19th. Outside, Interior & Vibe Tucked between bubble tea shops and dumpling spots, Kore Coffee is tucked in a corner that is easy to miss- except for the big sign that says COFFEEe (See image). Easy to find? Situated in an advantageous area? Close by many eateries and merchants? Check, check, check. Inside: white brick, wood panels, a La Marzocco flexing proudly, and indie café lighting that screams "journal about your feelings here." The vibe was excellent. Only a few tables but people got their orders in a very orderly way. No one was agitated. Some nice ladies nearby let me sit while I was waiting for my drink, which came out promptly without lack in quality. Service Friendly, quick, and impressively calm given the espresso machine could double as a spaceship. The lady who took my order was very nice and addressed any questions I had, as my spouse and I can get picky when it comes to Matcha lattes. My Americano had room, which is standard practice. When I asked barista Enke (apologize if I spelled name wrong) - to add more water it was fine without any complaints. Service is excellent and efficient - a must for a popular coffee shop in China Town on a weekend. Product Quality My medium Americano was smooth and balanced -- no bitterness, just personality. My wife's matcha latte with oat milk tasted like zen in a cup: earthy, creamy, and mildly sweet, the beverage equivalent of a green spa robe. Maybe not at that level, but for the price it was up there. Verdict: Great vibe, great drinks, easy but diversified menu, fantastic staff. Recommend 10/10.

    Nice quiet little coffee shop inside Chinatown. Ordered the golden caramel coffee and it was delicious and perfect temperature highly recommend. People working there were nice and welcoming.

    I made a point to stop by Koré while in the neighborhood, looking to try something different. I went for an iced tahini black sesame latte -- it was definitely an interesting flavor, and not overly sweet. Next time I'd probably opt to add espresso, although it was already a $10 latte after tax and tip, which was a bit wild to me (+$.50 to make it iced and +$1 for oat milk). Worth the stop in if you want a bit of a splurge, and I so wish the tiramisu latte had non-dairy options! Friendly service and good vibes, with some limited seating.

    A charming little café that's pure joy for coffee lovers craving something creative, cozy, and truly unique. Nestled on Elizabeth Street in the heart of Chinatown, Köre Coffee blends traditional Korean flair with artisanal café favorites. Their signature tiramisu lattes--whether the classic, matcha, or black sesame Tahni version--are a delightful twist on dessert-in-a-cup and are consistently praised as rich, creamy, and balanced. The black sesame latte is a standout--savory, subtly sweet, and velvety smooth. Pair any drink with their croffles--a buttery hybrid of croissant and waffle--offered in flavors like strawberry tiramisu or savory cheese and bacon. The everything bagel croissant filled with savory cream cheese is another local favorite that blends comfort and surprise. Inside, seating is limited--more cozy grab‑and‑go than café lounge--but the friendly staff and quick service make the experience still feel warm and inviting. Despite their compact size, many visitors leave with a full belly and a happy heart. While prices are on the higher side (most specialty drinks hover around $8), the quality, creativity, and charm make every dollar feel well spent. Why it captured our hearts: * Inventive drinks that feel like mini dessert experiences * Unique pastries--croffles, everything-bagel croissant * Friendly, artful service (NK Kim and family-run vibe) * Perfect Chinatown location with handcrafted atmosphere Whether you grabbed a tahini black sesame latte, matcha tiramisu, or a warm croffle, Köre Coffee offers something memorable for first-time visitors and seasoned coffee adventurers alike.
