She Doesn't Chase Men—She Chases Coffee: The Empowered Energy Behind 787 Coffee's Coquito Latte
Let’s Connect on Social
The Best Coffee Shop in NYC Where Confidence Meets Culture
At 787 Coffee, we don't just brew coffee—we create energy. And sometimes, that energy wears sunglasses, bold lipstick, and a "She Doesn't Chase Men, She Chases Coquito Latte" attitude.
This viral illustration isn't just a mood. It's a movement. It's for the woman who leads with confidence, who doesn't wait for permission, and who fuels her greatness with damn good coffee. When you're searching for the best coffee shop near you, you're not just looking for caffeine—you're looking for a daily reminder that "I am good, and everything about me is good."
More Than Just a Latte—It's a Love Letter to Energy and Empowerment
The Coquito Latte started as a celebration of Puerto Rican tradition, infused with the flavors of coquito—coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a kiss of rum. Today, it's become one of our top-selling specialty drinks across all 787 Coffee shops in New York, El Paso, and Puerto Rico, cementing our reputation as the best coffee shop in NYC.
Why has this drink taken over New York City's coffee scene?
Because our homemade Coquito Latte sauce isn't just a seasonal gimmick. It's handcrafted with real ingredients and infused with rum for a nostalgic-yet-elevated flavor that makes every sip taste like celebration. Whether hot or iced, this latte feels like a vacation and a hug all at once.
The Original Creator: 787 Coffee's Farm-to-Cup Philosophy
787 Coffee is the original creator of the Coquito Latte. While others try to imitate the flavor, nobody else does it with our from-farm-to-cup philosophy that makes us stand out among NYC's coffee shops.
We grow our coffee on our farm in Maricao, Puerto Rico, and also source from partner farms in Mexico and Colombia, ensuring every bean is ethically sourced and roasted in small batches for quality. Our award-winning, single origin, specialty coffee is the base. The homemade Coquito Latte sauce is the soul.

The Science Behind the Addiction
Why the Coquito Latte Tastes So Damn Good
The Coquito Latte's addictive quality comes from its perfect balance of flavors that trigger multiple taste receptors simultaneously:
Coconut: Provides richness and tropical sweetness that complements coffee's natural oils Rum notes: Add warmth and complexity (in our in-store version) Cinnamon: Offers warming spice that enhances coffee's natural flavors Nutmeg:Adds subtle earthiness and depth that grounds the sweetness Condensed milk: Creates creamy sweetness that balances espresso's acidity Puerto Rican coffee: Provides a smooth, less acidic base with chocolate undertones - our homemade coquito latte sauce is dairy free -
This combination creates what food scientists call the "bliss point"—the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and complex flavors that keeps you coming back for more.
