Chinese Coffee is a one-act play, written by Ira Lewis.
Chinese Coffee premiered at the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway in 1992. Actor Al Pacino was cast as the play's struggling writer, Harry Levine.
The play was later adapted into a 2000 independent film, starring Al Pacino and Jerry Orbach. It was released in New York as part of the Tribeca Film Festival. The film, which was also written by Lewis and directed by Pacino, was introduced by Robert De Niro during the open ceremony. Both the movie and the theater play are chamber plays.
