At PK Coffee Roaster, we believe coffee is more than just a drink —it’s an experience, a connection, and a story in every cup. Our journey began with a shared passion for two timeless arts: coffee and jazz. Both embody creativity, precision, and the pursuit of perfection, blending seamlessly to inspire the craft behind every roast.

The Story Behind PK Coffee Roaster
Founded by Phil Kim, PK Coffee Roaster embodies a vision to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Born in Seoul, Korea, Phil grew up with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and excellence. It was in New York City, however, where his passion for coffee truly blossomed. Amid the fast-paced chaos of corporate life, coffee became more than just fuel for his mornings—it became a ritual, a moment of reflection, and a source of inspiration.

One day, an older gentleman shared a profound insight that changed Phil’s perspective forever: “A coffee break is more than just a rest; it’s a moment of hope.” This simple phrase became his guiding principle, turning every cup of coffee into a meaningful pause to reconnect with life’s essentials.

By night, jazz tuned Phil’s soul, while coffee set the rhythm for his days. Over time, he realized that both coffee and jazz share a universal language—one that connects, inspires, and transcends the ordinary. Inspired by the cultural melting pot of New York, where traditions and flavors seamlessly blend, Phil embarked on a journey to discover coffee in its purest form.
