Hungry Ghost Coffee is a New York City–based coffee shop chain. It was founded in 2012, and as of 2019, it had eleven locations in New York City, with eight being in Brooklyn.
Hungry Ghost Coffee was founded in Brooklyn by Murat Uyaroglu, a Turkish immigrant, with coffee sourced from Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Uyaroglu had opened an internet café back in Turkey during his college years, then moved to Prospect Heights with his wife a few years later. In 2006, he took over a coffee shop on Sterling Place and borrowed money from his father-in-law to revitalize it.
In 2012, Uyaroglu designed and opened the flagship store for Hungry Ghost Coffee on Flatbush Avenue. In 2017, he had a total of six locations. The name is a reference to the hungry ghosts—East Asian "demon-like creatures who are afflicted with insatiable desire, hunger or thirst."
