Cotti Coffee coming to 14th Street

Renovations continue at 223 E. 14th St., where there will soon be another coffee option on the block between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. 

Signage arrived earlier this spring for Cotti Coffee. This will be the latest NYC location for the China-based multinational company, which has more than 14,000 stores in 28 countries. 

The founders previously helmed Luckin Coffee, another China-based chain pursuing U.S. expansion, before becoming embroiled in a high-profile accounting scandal. 

No. 223 has been vacant for a few years since the demise of Smokers Zone 1.

    I see that they are also opening another Cotti Coffee shop on Rivington and Clinton Street at the now closed Davidovich Bakery location. I never heard of Cotti Coffee before, but I will try them when they open.

    How many of these VC chains are going to open? I tried Luckin Coffee - was horrible. They said "you have to use our website or app to order a coffee." I go to the site, have to find the exact location I was standing in, only to go order coffee and see they were out of ordinary drip coffee. What a hassle.
