Korean Chain Caffe Bene is Coming to Times Square
Here’s some news that slipped by almost everyone in New York: Korean coffee chain Caffe Bene is opening its first US location on 49th Street and Broadway sometime in the near future. The announcement was made by Wall Street Journal Asia back in April, with an anticipated opening during the Fall. As of a few weeks ago, they didn’t look close to opening. They were looking for a regional manager in early November which can mean that the opening will be soon. Anyone had their coffee in South Korea?

You know those cute cafe’s with those dainty little pastries and fancy foam crap on their lattes that you see in Asian dramas? yea, it’s basically that. Taste wise it’s the same as a starbucks more or less (more sweet drinks though). Imagine a hybrid of Paris Baguette and Starbucks and you basically get a caffe bene. Personally not the biggest fan, but i’m sure they’ll do well regardless
