"Endorffeine coffee shop is also located in Far East Plaza." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Chinatown’s Endorffeine has coffee down to a science, literally. The owner of this Far East Plaza coffee bar (and its sole barista) was previously a biochemist. Unsurprisingly, his approach to coffee-making is quite technical: Different types of water are used to brew cold brew and espresso. Sugar and sweeteners aren’t available. Milk will not touch your Ethiopian pour-over. The menu is short with five hot drinks and three iced, including diligently crafted cortados and single brews, plus less common finds like the milky (milk-less) house coffee, a sweet, non-acidic cold brew that’s steamed until warm and frothy, giving the illusion that there’s milk in every sip. That might read a little snobby, but this is where coffee snobs go to indulge themselves. Also, the coffee is just really good. " - sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"We feel very lucky to have this in our very own Chinatown. The owners have traveled a long way to be here, and have garnered quite the fanbase in the process. People have been following them around, and for good reason. They just opened up down the street and we couldn't be happier. Full disclosure, we've only really dabbled in their iced drinks since it has been ungodly outside. However, we happen to know that they have quite the menu with some very unique drinks. Note: They're brand new so the address/pin below are for Scoops – they're right next door." - Rubric

"In addition to espresso shots and pour overs, this Chinatown cafe also boasts one of the most creative patio set-ups in the city. Located right outside of their Far East Plaza outpost, Endorffeine has created a Lego-esque al fresco seating area complete with large, interlocking plastic bricks and socially distant tables - a fun, outdoor fortress worthy of being in one of the Danish toy company’s theme parks. Open Thursday-Sunday, from 9am-6pm." - kat hong
