Supercore opened its door to the south side of Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn in September 2001. It started as a coffee shop with objectives of not only offering the local community of artists and young people a place to dine, but also providing a creative space where they can gather and socialize.

Supercore defines itself as a Japanese cafe´ serving "cafe´ meshi", which is a casual style dining that translates to "cafe´ food" in Japanese.
