Veteran-owned New York coffee carts, now with a SoHo shop.

Jimmy Lai and Danny Singh, both US military veterans, ran custom coffee carts along the Long Island City waterfront for three years before opening their first shop on the southern border of SoHo in 2025.

A cart also runs in Long Island City, and the coffee is Onyx, roasted in Arkansas.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

At this shop

The shop is a ground-floor unit at 120 Lafayette Street in SoHo, with large front windows that look onto the brick buildings across the street. Two black-framed cold drip towers stand on the counter by the window. A slatted timber wall runs behind the counter, and a tan leather sofa sits along the right-hand wall.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
