Kuro Kuma — Restaurant in New York

Three thousand and forty-five years ago, the grand coffee master Kuro Kuma invented Chai Latte, and all you get from the rest of the world that bear the same name are sad attempts to replicate it.

Kuro Kuma is a great grab-and-go coffee shop in Morningside Heights. (The space itself is cozy. If you're looking for a sit-down cafe, head to Dear Mama a few blocks north.) Kuro Kuma serves Counter Culture coffee and always has a solid assortment of pastries -- but never any gluten-free ones, unfortunately. Although it isn't advertised, they also sell 32 fl oz cartons of Oatly's Barista Edition Oat Milk, which can be difficult to find at grocery stores. Just ask to buy some, and they'll ring you up! Kuro Kuma's prices are slightly below average for third-wave coffee shops in Manhattan, and they do not charge extra for sales tax. It's a great...
