Box Kite Coffee softly opens on St. Mark's Place

Box Kite Coffee is in soft-open mode at 115 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue.

The cafe is from Cora Lambert and Erik Becker, who had been operating a pop-up at TriBeCa wine bar Maslow 6.

Liz Clayton at Sprudge.com got the first look on Saturday.

A few details from that post:

The coffee bar is small (though not for New York), with the only seats at the front windows (which will open up to the street in fair weather) and alongside the counter. Lambert says she was inspired by diner counters, and hopes the space will naturally encourage more bar interaction. “We’ve got some sick soda fountain stools that aren’t here yet,” she promises.

Box Kite will also have a limited beer and wine list as well as an offering of food and pastries.

Anyway, you can see for yourself now...


The Tuck Shop closed its location here on July 7.
