Went there tonight with my partner for the first time and we loved it. It felt like home and the prices were great. Love that it's open late and there are plenty of things to do like chess, art, and play music. New favorite spot, for sure! read more

Laid back and cozy. Cool place to be if you are an artist . read more

Vargtimmen King Koffee - Great Hot chocolate, Coffee and teas. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Emmaus, Pennsylvania

Love it, cozy coffee house with a great vibe, kinda like an artist's hang out! Open mic on Weds. nights at 8pm!

If the cryptic name weren't off-putting enough... Maybe this was the hip scene for boho high schoolers in 1997, but it looks like its business model has remained frozen in time ever since. In fact, it appears that NOTHING has really changed at Vargtimmen--not a croissant has moved in ten years, not a speck of dust has gotten wiped up. I suppose prices a just right, and, really, the vibe here could be decent, even if the appearance if that of a run-of-the-mill coffee shop. But the two times I've answered the phone to see if the place really is open until midnight as claimed, I've gotten nothing more than a "Hello?". Me: "Is this Vargtimmen King Coffee?" "Yes." "And you're open?" "Yes." "Until midnight." "Yes." While I'm pretty sure the place is run by a sweet septuagenarian and her middle-aged son, they seem to let their long term friends (some of whom have the "pill rolling" gestures of people on anti-psychosis medication) answer the phones. They really are open until late--and usually completely empty the entire time. The drinks are acceptable (I'm not brave enough to risk the health code violations to try the food), and, aside from the lackadaisical nature by which this place is run, the staff seems to be friendly. Absolutely nothing has happened at King Coffee to hint that they are dishonest, yet the place still seems fundamentally sketchy. Go for a vibe like no other...then take a shower when you get home. read more

Great funky atmosphere. A real gem in Emmaus.

this is my favorite coffee shop ever. the coffee is not the highest quality and the place isn't the most sparkling clean, but there is a feeling unlike any other. the comfy furniture, eclectic lighting, and unique artwork come together to cultivate the most magical atmosphere, especially at night. it's unlike any other establishment i've ever been to and i hope it stays open for many years to come. read more

The coffee was alright, it wasn't bad but it wasn't that great. However, the place was a complete mess. There were too many chairs randomly placed in the worst way and didn't seem like a nice place to sit and enjoy coffee. The place seemed like it wasn't cleaned ever and it felt weird to be there. It was also very dirty, the ceiling really does need fixing (it may not be relevant but it was something that bothered me). There was also just too much clutter for it to have a nice atmosphere. Overall, it's an ok place to get a cup of coffee on the go but not a good place to sit with friends at all. read more

Great experience! Delicious hot chocolate, yummy warm cheese danishes, fun and relaxing atmosphere.

King Koffee, you saved my social life in high school! As a bohemian, political, artistic teenager growing up in the Lehigh Valley, I could count on KK as a safe space, where I could be among intelligent, creative likeminded people. I've been a patron of King Koffee for 15 years. It's a quirky, chill cafe where local artists of all ages get a chance to show off their work..... one of the few places open late where people under 21 can socialize... a family-owned, independent coffeeshop, which can be a rarity in the LV. It's got a DIY aesthetic, homespun and cozy. Their tea selection is ample, which I really appreciate. read more

Ok listen... it's clear from some of these reviews that *some of you* didn't grow up in 90s coffee shops and it shows. The Starbucksification of coffee shops has properly ruined everyone's expectations. This place is exactly what I was looking for. A late night coffee shop! In this day and age! Imagine! A place to go that isn't a noisy bar! The environment is comfy, down to the mismatched furniture, local art all over the walls, random musical instruments chillin from last night's open mic, barista/owner chatting with regulars about Christopher Guest movies, and the coffee... well, look the ambiance is incredible. The prices are great, it was a nice place to hunker down and just chill for a bit, and no one batted an eye when I did my tarot reading at a table right by the front door (lol). If you're not the kind of person to do a tarot spread by yourself in a public setting, then this place might not be for you. But if you miss coffee houses that have a genuine soul, you don't mind flicking the crumbs off your table, (let's be clear; I don't) and would prefer to support a local business rather than toss more coins at one of the sleek, sterile, dime-a-dozen, nouveau industrial-styled coffetoriums, then please give this place your business. My elder Millennial ass will definitely be returning. read more

I went for a music event held on the back patio. I did buy beverages - a Stewart's root beer float for $2.95 and a bottle of water for $1 - and was pleased by the prices. The guy at the counter wasn't too friendly, but the woman I presume is the owner was engaging. The interior had a homey feel but was very cluttered. The tables, chairs, and sofa were clearly second-hand and looked dubious, especially the upholstered furniture. There were a few outdoor tables and chairs, but not enough seating for the 18 people who attended. The extra plastic chairs were all broken and should be thrown away. A few folks outside bought beverages and pastries. The pastries looked very good, and judging from the delicious smells emanating from the building, were made on the premises. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Stopped here today to satisfy my iced latte craving. I have found a really great coffee shop but it's a bit of a travel so I put my trust into King Koffee but was extremely disappointed. I wanted a iced caramel latte but KK was out of caramel flavoring so I went with the iced mocha latte. Easy right?! not exactly, all I could taste was the hershey's chocolate the employee dumped into the cup...no coffee, no espresso-NOTHING! I took about 4 sips too many as I felt like I was drinking chocolate milk. For $3.50/16oz latte I'll go back to my usual place and accept the distance I must travel for good coffee. I will definitely not be returning here! A little advise KK, If your going to have random 20 something's hanging out in your coffee shop you might want to consider asking them to respect the other patrons. My two year old daughter heard enough profanity in 3 minutes than she has heard her whole life! This place is mediocre at best. read more
