  Small artisan coffee shop near Chinatown. About 8-10 seats total in the cafe, but no bathroom (try the canal street market, which is a block away).
  
  Pourovers are $5 and there are usually 3 delicious flavors. They also have kyoto cold brew, which is basically normal cold brew but imagine you make it with a bunch of beakers that drip very slowly. They also have Asian flavored drinks, ie matcha, sesame, and even a rose latte.

  This is what we need more of in NYC. Quality-focused cafes really bringing it who show that the $5 dollar cup is really worth it.
  
  We were craving some nice 3rd wave coffee last week when it got a little chilly in the afternoon and stopped in to have a couple of their pour-overs. Talk about having it dialed-in. Wow.
  
  Beyond that, the baristas were all super knowledgeable and friendly even though there was a line building up because of our pour-over orders ha ha ha.
  
  I told all my coffee friends about it and apparently I was the only person in the world who didn't already know about Kaigo. Can't wait to check out their other Brooklyn location.

  This is the only coffee place I come to religiously. The baristas take pride in their work and it shows in there consistency. If you find yourself contemplating if you should spend a little extra on their brews, get a anything from starbucks and compare it to Kaigo coffee room. I promise you will taste difference.

  I found Kaigo Room through Yelp and I'm glad that I did. This place have a few tables, free WiFi, and great choice on music (no restrooms, employees only).
  
  When I looked at the menu, instantly, The Black Sesame Latte and The Lavender Matcha Latte caught my eye. The barista suggested that I try the Black Sesame so that's what I went with. The Black Sesame was so good!! It was a perfect thickness blended perfectly with all necessary flavors. The taste was so unforgettable that I came back another day to try their Lavender Matcha Latte. Definitely stick with the Black Sesame as the Lavender Matcha was a bit too floral for my liking! Both were good though, but the Black Sesame came out on top!

  Good - The turmeric latte was delish. I basically guzzled it down and wanted 3 more.
  Bad - Ambiance wise, it's kind of an awkward place to be at if you want to get work done. The music was kinda odd - the playlist kept skipping, I don't know... It was also freezing inside, so I didn't really want to be there. But the worst thing, no bathroom!! Wtf.. I've blasted coffeeshops for this before, but I feel like it's such a bummer to sell people diuretics and not give them a toilet.
  I might come back but it'll be to-go.
  Side-note:  Canal Street market (which I discovered after coming to Kaigo because they were apparently the closest bathroom) is a pretty fun spot and just around the corner.
