A new café has opened in Hell’s Kitchen, blending music and coffee culture. Starstruck Coffee is the vision of Gunes Tas, who moved from Turkey to New York with her family last year. The café aims to create a cozy, living-room atmosphere where patrons can enjoy great coffee and music. Gunes decorated the space with her mother, using personal vinyl records and musical instruments to enhance the vibe.
• The café features a variety of drinks, including cappuccinos, cold brew, and unique options like purple taro latte, all made with coffee from Brooklyn Roasting Company.
• Fresh pastries and avocado toast are available, with plans to introduce Turkish dishes like baklava and salads soon.
• The interior is designed with an emerald green color scheme, giving it a vintage feel, and is equipped with Wi-Fi for customers.
This café matters because it fosters community through music and food, celebrating cultural diversity. Gunes’s vision is to create a welcoming space where everyone can connect over shared interests, making Starstruck Coffee a unique addition to the neighborhood.
