Service: 4.2/5 Drink: 4.1/5 Price: $7-$10 pricier end for a matcha. good color + smooth taste though. flavor profile leans very grassy, so I personally would get it as a latte next time if I return. the shop definitely is more coffee-centric. ambiance is definitely a lively, younger crowd. lots of friends coming in for a quick stop or to sit + catch up. some background music that isn't too loud.
Found this spot just walking, and it's a nice little cozy cafe. We tried the basic ice latte and the beans were so good and smooth. Nothing else was needed and it def picked us up for the day!
another great and yummy cafe in nyc ! I had their orange and ginger juice with a chocolate chip cookie (both consumed separately) AND THEY WERE FANTASTIC! The cookie was devine and I must get another one again! The girl at the counter was super sweet and helpful! I hope to be back again!
I had a great quick coffee pit stop here this morning while staying up the road for a work trip. The exterior of the coffee shop is very nondescript so you could easily walk pass without noticing it. I ordered the orange cold brew with half the usual syrup and an orange peel tucked into the cup. It was a jolt of energy and the perfect amount of sweetness - not too bitter, not too sweet. The space was buzzing with minimalist design that reminded me of some of the coffee shops we visited while in Korea. They had a steady line of customers throughout our brief visit.
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.
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.
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.
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
((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!
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!

Warm, minimalist, with a touch of Asian-inspired design. Great coffee overall. I ordered the Orange Cold Brew from their specialty menu, and it was delicious. The bright orange flavor paired surprisingly well with the coffee without being overpowering. The matcha, however, was a bit watered down, and just a heads-up the sweetener is available upon request. Service was quick and efficient. You order at the cashier and can usually find a seat to catch up with a friend. It's a small coffee shop, so I wouldn't recommend it as a place to study. A major plus is the clean restroom. Overall, it's a solid coffee shop to check out if you're ever in Chinatown. read more
latte ($5.75) - every time i visit a new coffee shop and dont know what to order, id always just get a basic latte to see if they can do their basics right - unfortunately this felt pretty watered down and the coffee wasn't very strong - there wasnt much aroma to it rating: 3.5/5 - the coffee wasn't strong nor fragrant, so that deducted a lot of points - the ambiance reminds me of la coffee shops, super chill and hip; itd be a nice spot to hang for the vibes but even so you wouldnt stay here long because the seats were v uncomfortable - it is decently spacious with some outlets - wouldn't come back - super friendly and welcoming service; the dude had such a chill energy it almost felt as if he came from la ok loveeee; i love anyone who can be chill even in this busy and chaotic city IG: @nom.noms.only read more

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 read more

Heard good things about this place so came here for a much needed break and it was a great decision. Super simple and clean interior, nice clean bathroom (although one stall), and friendly staff are enough qualities to bring me back in NYC. They have Loquat beans here which was interesting since I'm visiting from CA. I would love to come back in the future. read more
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. read more

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. read more

There was a long line but it moved really fast. You got your coffee pretty fast and the vibe was nice when you're inside. The coffee is a must try read more
