It opened in December 2014. The store has since closed. == Description == The idea for Caffè Bene came after Sun-Kwon Kim, chairman and CEO of Caffè Bene, traveled to Canada and saw that the local coffee shops were very popular. He had confidence that he could create a brand that could compete with the cafes he saw.〔(Bene History )〕 Caffè Bene is designed after European open-air cafes. The word "Bene" in the brand name comes from the Italian word for "good." This brand combines the European open-air atmosphere and traditional Korean culture of "Sarangbang".〔 Like other coffee chains, Caffè Bene sells brewed coffee, hot and cold beverages, pastries, croissants, sandwiches, waffles, gelato, and so forth. In addition, Caffè Bene features Misugaru, which "consists of black sesame seeds, black bean, black and brown rice and barley".〔(March 6, 2012)(''The caffébene, a New Korean Imported Café at Times Square, Launches Homemade Multigrain Drink, Misugaru Latte.'' ) PR Web〕 According to PR Web, Misugaru "is rich in vitamins, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, folate and selenium".〔(March 06, 2012)('The caffébene, a New Korean Imported Café at Times Square, Launches Homemade Multigrain Drink, Misugaru Latte.' ) PR Web〕 Misugaru drinks are a feature that differentiates Caffè Bene from its competitors such as Starbucks and Coffee Bean. Ordinarily people drink Misugaru with milk. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caffe Bene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
