Some really solid coffee in New York. It's a great spot for a pick-me-up. I got an iced Kyoto Latte and my friend got a hot Americano. My palette isn't delicate enough to pick apart the tasting notes of the beans, but it went down smooth and it wasn't too sweet either. The interior was lively, service was quick. Drinks came out in a reasonable time, despite it being quite busy when we went. I've been recommended this place by friends in the past, and I will continue to recco this place to more friends in the future, read more

Arabica - iced Kyoto latte, hot Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The coffee was really good! I didn't add any sweetener to my latte, but I was surprised by how naturally sweet it was- subtle, not overpowering. White mocha was a lil too sweet for me but if you like the sweet you'd love it. Their house blend has goji and chocolate notes, which I loved, and I ended up buying a bag of their beans. One downside was the seating area. Many of the fabric seats looked dirty, which made me hesitant to sit down. A bit more attention to cleanliness there would make the experience much better. read more

quite busy but service was still timely! we were lucky to have such a sweet lady take our orders during our visit. Lattes were good as we got our usual Kyoto and Spanish lattes. Lots of people hanging out so can be crowded but generally they dont linger excessively long it seems. We appreciate the gender neutral restrooms and that there is also a sink outside so if you only need to wash your hands you dont hold up the line. read more

Arabica - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My friend and I wanted to co-work from Arabica since it was convenient to where we wanted to be after. There's only six window bar seats (three on each side) and they were taken, so we sat on the plushy couches. Not bad for an hour or two of work, but definitely not comfortable for anything longer than that. ICED KYOTO LATTE (12 OZ) - 6.75 The latte was creamy and lightly sweet, easy to sip on throughout my time working at the cafe. It is pretty pricy, but I'd still recommend. There's not a lot of seating at this location, but better than a lot of other NYC coffee shops I've seen. read more

Arabica - Iced Kyoto Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A Rich Tradition in Every Sip Arabica coffee is in a league of its own when it comes to quality and tradition. From the moment you open a bag of freshly roasted beans, the aroma is unmistakably smooth, floral, and deeply inviting. What sets Arabica apart is not just its superior taste mellow, nuanced, and often with hints of fruit or chocolate but the centuries of care and craftsmanship behind every harvest. It's clear that Arabica coffee is rooted in a tradition of excellence. Grown at higher altitudes and carefully cultivated, the beans reflect a deep respect for the land and generations of expertise. Whether brewed as a morning pour-over or savored as an after-dinner espresso, each cup delivers a refined, consistent flavor that honors its heritage. This is coffee done right, not rushed, not over-processed, but thoughtfully produced with passion and pride. If you appreciate both quality and tradition, Arabica is simply unmatched. read more

The barista was very nice and there was no line so I quickly got my coffee. The Kyoto latte is definitely worth trying. The coffee shop had two couches and some bar seating but no chairs outside. There was also merchandise that you could purchase. They also had a bathroom so that was a nice added bonus. I definitely will recommend this place to people read more

Charming coffee shop in a high density area serving made to order coffees and light pastries. Calm, easy vibes decor with a back wall of goods for sale too. Only concerned the seating area might need a deep clean as the white fabrics have turned fairly grey now. Very busy shop with medium wait times. Friendly staff and upbeat attitudes. read more

Love % Arabica! I've been a fan of them from my travels to Asia so I was thrilled to see they now have locations in NYC. Happy to report that you can expect expertly pulled espresso drinks and high quality, flavorful beans. The shop is sleek but welcoming and is a great addition to Nolita. read more

If you tried the OG one in Japan this doesn't do it justice. There is something different about it BUT compared to the Cali % Arabica this one is much much much better. We still bought beans!!!

If you're looking for a cup of strong coffee, this is the place. I had this place saved for many months and I was so excited to finally try it. It did not disappoint.

Stopped by on a whim due to having some time to spare before meeting up close by. Coffee was good. Nice flavors. Barista was Knowledgeable about the beans and the differences within each drink. I tried the Spanish latte which is three different blends with condensed milk. The decor is nice! Imo the couches wouldn't be comfortable for working. The counter-space is comfortable. It's a small spot but definitely chill! read more

The anesthetics of this location was quite sterile. Their menu is limited and today they only had oat or almond milk. The arabica bean coffee was good but desired options to add flavor to my latte. Overall average experience, decent coffee but nothing really drawing me back for a second visit. read more

I would give this place a solid 3.5. Lowkey my fault because my expectations for the Spanish latte were too high. I was expecting it to taste like the Spanish lattes I had in the middle east. However, this was a different take on it and my reaction was "oh-". Coffee was lowkey watery too. I love the branding and the minimalism though! I like the iced coffee in the paper cups and the concept of a small menu. read more

We happened to stop by during an event, where they had music and sample sips. I have an espresso machine at home and try not to buy simple drinks I can replicate at home. However, when I tried a sip of their Iced Americano, I knew this would be the only place I'd buy an Americano outside. It was the best I've ever had. I ordered an Iced Kyoto Latte. It was good, but I was so surprised by the Americano that the Americano overshadowed it. The space felt really clean and minimalistic. While there isn't a lot of seating, the set up had a casual lounge feel. Especially during this event, the staff was very inviting, friendly, and helpful as they asked questions such as about what beans were used. read more

Chic, minimalist type of coffee spot located on Prince Street. They specialize in Kyoto style lattes, but I had a night of no sleep and needed something strong AF, so I opted for an americano with an extra shot of espresso. Hot damn did it do the trick. I feel wide awake after drinking this thing. It was delicious and smooth, definitely high quality espresso used here. This spot was fairly busy when I came in around 11 am, with most folks taking their coffees to go but a few remaining to do some work. The service was quick despite there being a bit of a line. I was also starving and decided to treat myself to a croissant which was crispy, light, airy - everything you could want in a croissant. Prices are not wallet friendly but are standard for the area. All in all, not a bad spot. read more

Super cool and sceney coffee shop - I ordered a matcha water (heard great reviews on their matcha) and they told me they don't do matcha water...only served with milk and milk alternatives. As someone who can't have milk alternatives- especially not actual milk- felt disappointed that I couldn't get my matcha fix here. Got an iced espresso. It was great. Won't go back here. read more

I love the simplicity of their decor. It makes you focus more on the coffee, which has been really good. I keep wanting to try the other coffees but keep defaulting to the Kyoto latte, which I love and also seems to be a big crowd favorite. I promise to try something different on my next visit, because I will definitely be back! I'm also glad to see that they have added two other locations in NY which make it super convenient to go to. read more

Opted on the cold brew in the bottle with a screw top so I could toss it in my bag lol still leaked but when I say I loved the taste of this coffee. I will stop here everytime I visit New York City. It was delicious. Cute small seating area but they optimize the space very well allowing for lots of seating. Customer service top tier. read more

I want to compliment the bathroom first as well as a huge double sink outside of the bathroom so everyone can use and wash their hands between shopping and getting coffee! I didn't utilize it but they do have a toto toilet to use lol I got a matcha latte (super flavorful, will probably ask for extra hot next visit) and the barista took the time to create a pretty art on it :) which I appreciate! Line was pretty long when I got there but it was a sunny nice Saturday afternoon! Def be back to try other drinks! read more

3.5 stars, bumping to 4 because of the accessible bathroom (a hot commodity). I've been to %Arabica in Asia -- unfortunately this location isn't as good. The interior attempts to mimc the bright, almost sterile white that other international locations have. However, it unfortunately has the opposite effect and highlights the dirt that's tracked in from the streets of New York. There were flies buzzing around in the seating area as well. The coffee itself is not bad. There is something for everyone, and each of their custom drinks have differing levels of sweetness. The baristas are friendly and willing to walk you through the menu. read more

Loved the quality coffee and minimalistic aesthetics! If you like your drinks a little sweet, I'd recommend the Spanish latte, but be sure to mix it! The espresso and milk favors were both present but didn't overshadow each other. Appreciated the hint of vanilla and sugar but I didn't mix it very well, so it was concentrated at the bottom. Kyoto latte was very aromatic and was a lighter espresso blend. Service was great!! They were very smiley and thanked customers for waiting in line. They gave us extra stamps on our loyalty card for being patient. The store itself was also spacious. They had largely couch area for people to sit/talk, as well as some bar stool areas where people focus on their work. Lighting was also good! read more

While there are a plethora of artisanal coffee shops in LES, %Arabica offers coffee that you won't find anywhere else such as their signature Kyoto Latte. My friend and I arrived on an early Saturday afternoon and it was already crowded. All the sofa seats and comfy stools were occupied leaving my friend and I to people watch on the high seats facing the street. The modern minimalist backdrop was the perfect set for a girl's gossip session. While my friend saved us some seats, I got on a short line that moved fast. Service is friendly and quick. Thankfully we came earlier because the line got longer later in the day. Taste-wise, both lattes were a bit sweeter than our preference but we could still taste the nutty and floral notes of the espresso. The iced Kyoto Latte was sweeter but was more refreshing compared to the cozy aromatic notes of the hot latte. These lattes are definitely different from what is offered at other cafes and justifies the high price tag. The Kyoto Latte satisfied my outside coffee craving and I wanna come back and try the dark latte. There is also the original Brooklyn location which I wouldn't mind going to. Definitely a solid cup of coffee. read more

Came here on a saturday night to take a shopping break and it was quite busy. I initially wanted the matcha latte but they were unfortunately sold out. I am not a huge coffee lover and decided to try the kyoto latte. It was surprisingly really good and that is coming from someone who doesnt like coffee!!! The coffee had a slight sweetness to it while being bitter. After taking some sips, I decided to add some sugar and I enjoyed it even more! My partner got the lemonade and honestly I would skip this drink. It was really watered down. read more

Okay- stopped by on a Saturday and it was the place to be! Is this what it's like everywhere? I got the Kyoto latte with oat milk and it was pretty good - it did take a while to make but I mean, it was busy and crowded so I'm not mad at all. I didn't realize that they had this location here in NYC so maybe I can save a trip in Japan. Cute minimalistic vibe and maybe if you come on the weekday it won't be so busy. read more

Coffee was great as always from a %Arabica. This one did have like 12 people on their laptops lining all of the window seats and stuff though, so you gotta kinda just straddle a corner and wait. Kind of funny to see outside in a dystopian way. read more

I've always wanted to try this place after seeing people try it in Korea and Japan and I was pleasantly surprised to see a new location in Manhattan.

This location has a few good spots to sit and relax or catch up with a friend too. read more

I never understood the hype over coffee shops and I passed by this store the other day and saw so many people inside. For the first time I decided to try their coffee after hearing about this place.

Stopped in for a quick coffee as it was close to my hotel. I enjoyed the Kyoto latte, I thought the flavor of the roast was nice and the latte itself wasn't overly sweet. I appreciate that their menu is fairly straightforward with only about 9-10 options. Sometimes simple is better. read more

Finally! A location in Manhattan! % Arabica has been on my radar since they opened in DUMBO. As I walked to the train from a nearby workout studio, I was pleasantly surprised to come across % Arabica, opening only a few weeks ago on Prince just west of Bowery. While there was a short line both before and after me, the baristas and cashiers were quick to assist yet didn't make anyone feel rushed. I got my regular at any coffeeshop: iced oat milk latte. The espresso was smooth and the balance of oat milk was perfect, making for a slightly darker latte (it's perfect for me, anyway). They've got a few pastries, but also a soft serve machine for affogatos (espresso and ice cream)! I wish more places had this lol. It wasn't working at the time of my visit, but I'd definitely come back for that if I was nearby, as it's one of my favorite simple treats. With plenty of seating, perfect for being in Soho, definitely worth popping by for a visit. read more
