Since April 29 is National Poem in Your Pocket Day, I've made you all a little gift: this Kos Kaffe poetry book, filled with poems we’ve posted at the cafe over the years and painted with natural pigments. Please pick one up when you visit—they’re free!
I believe that poetry and cafe culture are drawn from the same well—a place where lives intersect across space and time, with all our commonalities and differences. Thank you for sharing in it all ❤️.

Back home, singing in my local cafe was one of my favorite ways to connect with my neighbors.
Having just moved to New York City, I feel so lucky and grateful to be playing in Kos. Something about it reminds me of home.
Send this to someone you’ve been wanting to catch up with who loves live indie folk music.
And if you have any song requests, drop them in the comments!

If you’re looking for guaranteed coziness on this gray day, we’ve got a big pot of it over here: a warm, savory, super homey chicken and rice porridge, topped with gochugaru chili crisp and lots of fresh herbs. Ready now!

Excited to share illustrator/Kos barista @mmadelinne ‘s new zine, Laundry Day! If you’ve ever lugged a granny cart up a fourth floor walk-up, hoarded stacks of quarters, or folded socks next to strangers, you’ll 100% relate. It’s about the very New York rite of laundromat living, but it’s even more about how these mundane urban rituals offer us connection and community. Available on the Kos counter (bring quarters)!
