Coffeed was a "philanthropic artisanal coffee company" with its headquarters in Queens, New York City, USA. [1] The company opened its flagship location in Long Island City in September 2012. [2] As of June 2019, the flagship location on Northern Boulevard closed and the LIC Landing became the new flagship location. [3] [4] By February 2016, Coffeed had a dozen locations in the New York area and one in Seoul, South Korea. [1] Included among them are LIC Landing, an outdoor café in Hunter's Point South Park, and New Leaf, a restaurant in Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park. [2]

Coffeed closed all locations and ceased operating in December 2019.

Business model, charitable partners

Each Coffeed location donated a portion of its revenue (usually 3-10%) to a charitable partner based in the same neighborhood as the store. [2] Former partners included The New York Foundling, New York Restoration Project (NYRP), City Growers, and Community Mainstreaming Associates. [2] As of 2016, Coffeed had donated nearly $250,000 to charity. [2]
