TLDR: Get their Tahni Black Sesame Tiramisu latte even if it's non-caffeinated because you can just add a shot of espresso for extra instead if you want! -[TAHNI BLACK SESAME TIRAMISU] $9.25 ☕️ I believe I asked to get a shot of espresso added to this but not 100% certain that happened since I didn't see or taste it ☕️ Regardless, this was SO delicious even with such a steep price. Highly recommend it -[CHEDDAR SCALLION SCONE] 🧀 Couldn't see the price for it displayed anywhere but I wanted something to cushion the caffeine 🧀 Ask for them to heat it up for you because this was an amazing baked good to start the morning with - the scone's texture was so fluffy

Get the Tiramisu lattes! All of them are seriously so delectable and creamy. It’s SO creamy that it feels like a whole meal and never overly filled with ice. Everyone I drag here has never said anything bad. The first drink is always an MMmMmmMmmmm with eyebrow raises 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️ I will say it’s not the cheapest drink just over $10 with tax and tip! For the laptop crew, there isn’t a plug that you can use but there are two table seats facing the windows for an 1-2 of dedicated work. The other two tables are quite low and there is limited seating so the best is just for you to order for take out. People bring in their dogs in to order.

Stumbled upon this adorable little Korean coffee spot on a Saturday and I’m so glad I did! It’s definitely on the smaller side, but super cute and cozy—perfect for a quick catch-up or coffee break. It was pretty busy when we went (as expected for a weekend), but the service was fast and efficient, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the strawberry matcha and absolutely loved it. The matcha was smooth and well-balanced, with just the right hint of strawberry—refreshing and not overly sweet. My friend had the tiramisu latte, which was fun and flavorful, though a bit too sweet for my personal taste. Overall, Kore Coffee is a great little gem in chinatown. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu:)
