IN KOREAN FOLKLORE “BACK WHEN TIGERS USED TO SMOKE” EVOKES MEMORIES OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THROUGH THE AVENUES OF COFFEE AND BREAD, SMOKING TIGER LOOKS TO SHARE OUR KOREAN HERITAGE WITHOUT BARRIER. SO COME IN, TAKE A BREAK, AND REMINISCE ON THE TIMES WHEN TIGERS USED TO SMOKE.
Smoking Tiger was first established in 2020 with the goal to create a space where people of all ages can come together to create shared memories and embrace cultural differences without barrier. Sharing our heritage is pivotal in our customer’s experience. We do this through the use of interior design, music, and our crafted goods. We’re grateful to be able to share some of Korea’s iconic flavors such as Black Sesame, Yuzu, Korean Honey Oat and Mugwort; all throughout our pastries and drinks. For us, spreading Korean culture has always been our priority and is the core of who we are as a brand. We want to stay true to our roots and allow others to experience our culture in ways we know best: through specialty coffee and well-crafted pastries.
As a young and driven team, we are passionate about serving our customers and giving a genuine experience to look back on. We strive to provide excellent service and build connections in every community we enter. We are excited for the future of Smoking Tiger and hope to create and share unforgettable memories together!
Smoking Tiger’s mission is to share Korean culture through the lens of Coffee and Bread. This excites us because it allows us to explore new trends and revisit classic ones through our service, products, music, and merchandise. For the past 3 years, we’ve been blessed to work directly with farmers from Jeju Island as well as one of the oldest furniture makers in Korea to source and manufacture our in-store goods. We choose to invest extra time and money in these areas in order to share a taste of our roots with our expanding community.
As we continue to grow Smoking Tiger, we hope to inspire people of all generations to never shy away from who they are and where they came from. As our company grows, Smoking Tiger’s top priority will continue to be to live out this mission one coffee, one bread, and one customer at a time.
