hot macchiato
Michelle N.

Very cool pop up cafe we randomly stumbled upon. Reminds me of ones back in cali. I feel the vibes here are good for a hangout/meet cute. I ordered a macchiato - which was decent, I wish I had ordered the cortado instead. My friend ordered a latte which was smooth but nothing special.

Coffee pretty good. Cool vibe. Very very busy and crowded. Can be difficult to find a seat. The sandwich is fine - wouldn't get again. Definitely high quality meat but expensive and didn't really taste any asian flair. just felt like nice ham on hard bread but I enjoyed

Stopped by this cute little Korean- and Nepali-influenced cafe. Their matcha latte was solid - well mixed with a good ratio of matcha and milk. They currently are utilizing Kettl matcha but previously was offering a different brand I believe. The cortado had good espresso but it was slightly too milky. Next time I'd love to try their chiya, which I learned is a Nepali-style chai that they make in house with a stronger ginger flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was very solid! I really enjoyed the overall crunch, the generous amount of delicious dark chocolate chunks, and the sprinkle of sugar granules on top. The space has a decent amount of seating but it gets busy on the weekends. Laptops were allowed but not sure about the weekdays. They also showcase a variety of coffee beans and alcohol. Staff were kind and polite. Drinks came out at a reasonable time.

It is a rather small cafe with seats. They were playing soft music. It was pretty casual. The order process was pretty efficient. They answered my questions about the drinks offered (I didn't know what a Chita was). The sweeteners they had available was simple syrup, honey and vanilla (which comes at a charge). I ordered an iced matcha with oat milk and vanilla. It was pretty smooth and the sweetness came through though it didn't overwhelm the matcha flavor. Straws are available on the side. I would come back to try the Chita.

The space was such an experience! It felt like a fusion of East Coast & West Coast vibes. The coffee was delicious; We ordered two pourovers (one iced, one hot), and you could tell the staff really took their time carefully crafting each drink. The only downside is the limited seating, so it might be tough finding a spot, esp if you're hoping to wfh. Overall, great vibes, great aesthetics, and great coffee!

Park at Kims is a cozy coffee shop with a variety of coffees, teas and drinks. It can get busy but service is pretty efficient. It's nice that they carry Fritz beans from Seoul. The aesthetic inside is clean and modern. There's not a ton of seating so it's more of a place to grab coffee with a friend than sit down to work.

Iced vanilla latte

The coffee here is so good! I had an iced vanilla latte and immediately wanted another one. The space is very aesthetic and vibey. There isn't a ton of seating there but you have the option to take your drinks to-go. Service was very speedy and everyone seemed nice. The space is very clean as well.

((5 stars outta 5 stars!)) Park at Kims is not a merely a tale of a coffee shop's beginnings on a sleepy block of Elizabeth Street in 2025 but is longer larger book that one can experience the products of its effort, imagination, culture, genuine hospitality, and a lil bit of magic via in a cup of coffee to stay or go. passed by Park at Kims (PaK) during their soft opening a few months ago and saw a line but didn't have time to stop, but thankfully I did not forget this place and have stopped by quite a number of times recently. there is Korean influence in the vibe and feelings evoked in the coffee shop while still navigating the contours of being a coffee experience in NYC and representing both places in obvious and subtle ways. the main takeaway is that Park at Kim's set a high standard for its coffee offerings and potable alchemy, small menu of small bites, and its welcoming nature to guests. the quality of coffee served and how it's prepared is top-notch and represents itself in each brew of coffee. only have tried the drip (Loquat coffee, Los Angeles roaster) as well as Americanos (one of several Korean origin coffee beans served here). coffee is a serious business in Korea, huge consumption by the populace, and coffee shop competition there is insanely high--Park at Kims takes the best of that discipline in terms of coffee without "harshing the vibe" or removing the energy from the fun because ultimately it's about great tasting coffee and a pleasant memory whether it's by a one-time visitor or a regular. the Loquat coffee bean used in the drip coffee has a light fruit notes with a hint of sweetness...honestly, the drip is so consistent here that you don't get that crazy variance that you are often faced with at many other coffee spots...another hat tip to the folks operating PaK and their dedication to coffee-making as a craft as opposed to being a generic "product/service." forgot the blend i asked for in the Americanos i've enjoyed, but it's a smooth medium roast with a mellow flavor of chocolate, nuts, and je-ne-sais-quoi! don't sleep on the small eats here--typically a limited offering of doughnuts, kouign amann (or similar pastries), and the Doenjang jambon beurre sandwich. haven't tried the sweeter options like the doughnuts, but the Doenjang jambon beurre sandwich is a must-have. seriously. thinly sliced ham, compounded butter (butter infused with the savory flavor of Doenjang a soybean paste), a pickled element (maybe radish), all of that is sandwiched is a baguette roll that might be one of the finest breads to be had in lower Manhattan (not sure where PaK sources the baguette, but keep it a secret!)... the sandwich is really good bc that baguette takes it to the next level. the interior is medium-sized with seating options spread on either side for solos, pairs, small groups and a couple of seats at the counter bar. the vibe is modern and friendly with a light warm clean-to-the-eyes aesthetic for those staying for a coffee or two. seating is frequently occupied during prime time hours or like the weekends. the service is excellent--friendly, authentic, and clearly focused on making a cup of coffee a bright spot to the day as opposed to a commodified one. whenever i have had q's about what coffee or brew to get (even when the shop is superbusy and I appreciate that), the kindness in the answers goes above and beyond what's typically doled out elsewhere. in fact, have had several fun chats with Sojan (sp?), one of the owner-operators about some of the coffee beans that they sell by the bag as well as ones they use in-house. he's a cool dude along with his fellow owners and staff who understand how a customer experience is not just a transaction for tangible product that ends once the coffee is made, but in making a connection with the coffee that lasts beyond the last drip. looking forward to eventually having a cortado, a flat white, and a pour over there...when there's a seat to snag--heh. highly encourage anyone who enjoys coffee to head here for the excellent coffee vibes and beyond.

Amazing new cafe with wide array of specialty coffee. When I went they had espresso and drip from Loquat coffee which is a west coast all-time-favorite of mine roasted in Los Angeles, California. They have various hand brews from their in house Park at Kims coffee roasted in Seoul, South Korea. Very sweet and informative staff and prompt service. Good amount of seating and great location that's easy to get to. Since their coffee rotates often I look forward to returning often to keep trying new coffees!

A must visit coffee experience! Sujan and Seijin are awesome. They source from amazing Korean roasters in Pastel. Some of the best cups I've had in the city. Their Honduras is spectacular. Look no further for the best slow bar coffee shops around. Also the aesthetic inside is vibey + cozy. 100/10 coffee shop

Hand Brew
Wonjun S.

Brand new specialty coffee shop right by SoHo! Korean owned, serving Loquat coffee and hand brewed pour overs changing daily. It was absolutely amazing and the owners were so kind and informative. Had an amazing chat with them and they truly care about their craft. I will most definitely be frequenting this place. The interior and overall design of the place was also beautiful and clean.

Ambiance is nice here. The barista seems friendly enough. First time here but I didn't feel that it was that welcoming. I was taking a look around and love visiting coffee shops. Was excited to see another new type of beans to try. The sandwich looks very plain with pickled radish and Black Forest ham but ended up being the spotlight for the whole place. The sandwich gives it a 5 star for the crispy of the bun but still a little soft. The balance of the paste and the radish with ham is a very god balance. When I got to the latte. That was very disappointing, it was pretty much like every other place I've been where their milk over powers the taste of the beans. It was milk forward and coffee aftertaste. Super disappointing not much flavor in the beans. I'll be back for the sandwich again and maybe give their pour over a try hopefully it'll have more flavor. I got the pour over #2 and it was actually really pleasant. Reminds me of a black tea. Not too dark. Clean finish with a little acidic at the end. The first sip of the pour over was very clean, but when you get to the end of the bottom, it becomes more acidic and I got nausea drinking it. Came back a few times got the sandwich again and tried all the donuts. The donuts are pretty decent. Cortado you can taste the beans slightly more than the small latte I got. Cute spot and the baristas are friendly depending who you get in the front. I would recommend here but if you want strong, bold flavor beans this is not the place to go. More mellow bean flavors.

Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

Date: Monday, March 2nd, 2026 Time: around 12 noon…read more *Lychee Berry ($9.75) *Panda Cake ($14.50) *Soup Dumpling ($14.50) *Egg Sando ($8) My group dropped by here after having breakfast / brunch. I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

RATING: 4.5/5 | Came on a Saturday late afternoon and it was busy! The line moves, thankfully. It's…read morerelatively spacious for a cafe, but there's minimal seating. There is some counter space, but mainly for standing purposes. I ordered a standard Iced Matcha Latte with Oat Milk ($7.35) and my friend got her usual Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte ($8). Docking 1/2 point bc the matcha is pre-made. I'm a fan of the whisking process bc I do believe there's a craft to matcha overall. Surprisingly, my drink tasted fine and my bev was a good color, so I was pleasantly happy. We waited less than 10 min for a table to open up, but you have to be there at the right time, otherwise you prob just grab your drink + go. Overall, glad I tried Kijitora. It's not my first matcha choice, but it was decent for a standard matcha latte. Their specialty matcha drinks look to have mixed reviews, but I'm personally not a fan of sweet drinks.

I came here today to experience local matcha from Kijitora, a local matcha place that was all about…read morecats! Everything was cat They had a lot of merchandise dedicated to cats! The tote bags were so cute but they were kind of pricey in my opinion. A standard beige Kijitora bag was priced for $30 each! They had several designs for sale. I was just busy checking out the cool cat merchandise while I was waiting in the long line to purchase the matcha drinks. The line was exceptionally long! It was worth the hype though! When I was my turn, I got an iced strawberry matcha latte and an iced mango matcha latte. It was so pretty when I got them. The mango and strawberry paste were sitting at the bottom of the matcha latte. I had to stir and mix the fruits with the whole drink. Surprisingly it was not sweet at all and was just right! They made it in a way that wanted you to crave more of it. It was very addicting. I did not get onigiris this time but will be sure to get some next time I'm here. They were just $4 each for miso salmon, tuna mayo, mentaiko cod roe, sukiyaki beef, and chashu pork. What a decent price for one onigiri! I would definitely be sure to get the miso salmon next time I'm here. The place was very cute with nice little tables for individuals. The place was very cozy with lots of sunlight coming in. Very modern with plants all around. It was so loud with people talking over each other. There were too many people on a Sunday afternoon so I had to walk around or cut through people to get my way. It was that crowded. I also didn't expect this place to be on the second floor and the stairs to be that steep. It was hectic carrying my stroller upstairs. Luckily someone helped me get down! The stairs are very narrow so I had to hold onto the rail. It was not ergonomically friendly at all.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
