Central Perk Coffeehouse will officially open its first New York City location on Friday, December 12, 2025 at 20 Times Square on the NE corner of 7th Avenue and 47th Street. The shop will be open daily from 7AM-11PM.

The coffee shop is reimagined for today's fans of the FRIENDS TV show with modern New York Energy. Top Chef and James Beard Award winning chef Tom Colicchio has directed a curated menu for the guests to enjoy, including his NYC-exclusive hero sandwich, The Tribbiani.

Drinks on the menu feature playful NYC-exclusive The One with NYC Matcha, a strawberry-matcha cheesecake-inspired latte and NY Relaxi Taxi Tall Ice Cooler that is a lavender infused iced green tea and lemonade, both drinks inspired by the TV series.

Inside the coffee shop space, the artwork of Burton Morris whose work appeared throughout the original series adds a bold, nostalgic touch to the cafe's design.
