South Korea's Tom N Toms Coffee opens first US corporate store

The store introduces an expanded menu, a full commercial kitchen, and a drive-thru.

South Korean cafe chain Tom N Toms Coffee has launched its first corporate-owned US location in Houston's Spring Branch neighbourhood at 4145 Gessner Rd.

Unlike its typical franchise setups, the flagship store introduces an expanded menu, a full commercial kitchen, and a drive-thru.

Additionally, it also debuts “Egg Box,” a new in-house menu of Korean-style egg sandwiches.

In an operational move, Tom N Toms has also relocated its US coffee roasting operations from Los Angeles to Houston, aiming to improve freshness and supply chain efficiency for its US locations.

Established in 1999 but incorporated in 2004, Tom N Toms Coffee is a coffeehouse chain founded in South Korea that has over 400 locations worldwide.
