Free-coffee shop opens in New York between Bryant Park and Grand Central

A free-coffee storefront held its grand opening on Wednesday in New York City, between Bryant Park and Grand Central. It was described as the world’s first free coffee shop, and the coffee is free. A hard minimum applies to the storefront, but no amount was specified.

Brands available there include Ramp, Novig, Warp, Outset, Paper and Bland. The offerings include coffee supported by AI-voice, gambling and enterprise-payment advertising; conference order volumes depend on the event’s size.
