Specialty café Sip and Co. has signed a 10-year lease on the ground floor at 41 West 58th St., an 11-story luxury residential building steps from Central Park. Founded by Chin Mong, the owner of Brightbox Consulting, and his frequent collaborator Jeremy Torres, Sip and Co. serves artisanal coffee, sandwiches and desserts. The 7,025-square-foot café features indoor dining as well as takeout options.
Brightbox Consulting focuses on consulting on new cafés and coffee shops throughout the New York City area. In addition to launching Sip and Co., Chin owns High Low Beverage Company in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, an all-day bar that specializes in craft beer, locally-roasted coffee, natural wine, cocktails and Vietnamese-influenced pastries and snacks.
“We want to bring the neighborhood the best specialty coffee, genuine hospitality and a simple seasonal classic menu, from the New York staple salmon lox to the trendy healthy offering such as avocado toast,” Mong said. “The main reason why we choose this location is that it is located right underneath one of the most historical resident buildings at Central Park South. Also, it is surrounded by many iconic hotels, landmarks, restaurants and companies, like Carnegie Hall, Park Lane Hotel, Apple Store and Bergdorf Goodman.”
“Sip and Co. is a terrific amenity for the community as well as our residents at 41 West 58th St.,” said Kate Goodman, co-president at building owner Atco Properties & Management. “The café will benefit from shopper traffic on Fifth Avenue and the office population on Sixth Avenue as the city reopens and people begin returning to work.”
Sip and Co. was represented by Aldona Dabrowska of Oxford Property Group in the transaction. William Carr and John Cinosky of Atco Brokerage Services represented building ownership in house.
