I have yet to try Luckin Coffee. Curious how it is!
I know they're in NYC but I ain't going there.  Then again, China is not welcoming me anymore.

In a sign of changing times, many of the American coffee chain locations here (Starbucks, Pacific Coffee) are being replaced by Chinese brands. But they sell it for Starbucks prices here, so there's not much point.
Looks like America is losing its corporate grip in Asia, the most powerful way they could influence culture around the world, after entertainment went to shit in the past decade.

This is a redundant question given that it's like Starbucks, but is their coffee any good?
Unrelated question: Any auditors here on the forum? I have a question for a non-profit organization. Thanks!

I wouldn't ever consider going there for a decent drip coffee, but the coconut milk latte or whatever it was, was quite tasty. My wife loves it, especially for the price compared to HK

My cousins in HK like Manner and Pacific Coffee over Luckin. I guess I'll have to see for myself when I get there. They also have Tim Hortons in China so I'll have to try that and compare it with the shit Timmies we have here. When I had Tim Hortons in Thailand the quality seemed to be much better than ones here.

My wife loves it, especially for the price compared to HK | I've seen some Asian supermarkets (I think T&T?) sell the packaged single-brew Luckin Coffee packs but I haven't tried them myself. I'm willing t give it a shot.
There's also a Cottee Coffee (spelling???) here nearby where we live and one Downtown Toronto. They have a coconut milk coffee/latte drink and it's not bad for the price, assuming you have their app-based coupons. Quote:

Never heard of or had seen Manner, so I'll keep an eye out next time. Too many good coffee options in HK, so it's hard to try a local chain. 
I'm curious if Tim Horton's coffee overseas tastes different. My assumption is that it should not, but rather, they may modify their flavours and taste preference to meet local palates.

Cotti Coffee has opened a new location in Richmond. I've seen some videos about Luckin opening locations in the US. Haven't seen any plans for them to open anything here in Canada (yet).
Seems like their business model includes spamming coupons via their apps to undercut the competition.

Pacific and Manner are chains in China.
