New York now has a cafe that never closes: Corgi Cafe opens in NoMad
Most cafes wind down by early evening. Corgi Cafe does not wind down at all. The cafe announced the opening on its own Instagram before the big day: a second Corgi Cafe location would open in New York City on Friday, August 21, at 121 East 27th Street in NoMad, with a grand opening party to mark it. Days later, the same account posted the words every new business loves to type: now open, 24/7.
The cafe's own site keeps the promise simple. Its locations page lists the NoMad spot as new and open 24/7, with hours running from midnight to midnight, every single day. The site describes the original San Francisco cafe, at 9 Claude Lane, as a place for the builders to gather at any hour of the day, and the New York room runs on the same idea.
The menu backs that up. Alongside cappuccinos ($5.50), lattes ($6.00 to $7.00), and matcha lattes ($7.00 to $7.50), the cafe pours a long list of partner-created drinks, including the ZeroClick (ice, a double espresso shot, and coconut water, $6.50), the Capy Matcha ($8.00), and the Doc Chai ($7.00), plus smoothies like The FiDi, a chocolate peanut butter blend with 41 grams of protein. Pastries run from a butter croissant ($5.00) to an ube twice-baked croissant ($6.25), and the merch shelf sells a large Corgi plush for $10.
So here's our official welcome: congratulations, Corgi Cafe, on bringing the all-night shift to NoMad. Night owls, early risers, and everyone building something at 2 a.m.: your table is ready, whenever you are.
