As a Cambodian, I had to come back this coffee shop to support it. Walking to the shop it was bright and colorful. You can see the culture through the shop. Inside was small and had a few seating. I ordered the Phnom Penh coffee, which was a strong bold coffee with condensed milk. The coffee was strong which I needed to start my NY adventure. I also got a Banana bread which was really tasty. The barista was friendly and the only one working in shop. But he made the drinks quickly. I love there is a Cambodian shop in Manhattan and would come back. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop. The owner is lovely, as are the rest of the staff. They helped me pick a drink both times I went. The coconut matcha cloud has been my favorite thus far. Refreshing, strong matcha taste, creamy, and not that sweet. I also tried the Phnom Penh, their signature, and got it half sweet. They were accommodating and did half condensed milk and half regular milk. Very strong and delicious - I recommend getting it like this if you don't like super sweet drinks. Randomly, their old fashioned donut was so good and fluffy. I will continue to come back and try more drinks. Strawberry matcha is next! read more

Cute cozy cafe with great matcha and espresso drinks! The people who work here are so nice and welcoming. Easy 5 star cafe and great addition to UES. It's small inside but has some comfy seating. It's located on the lower level so there's a short flight of stairs to go down before entering. read more

Artara Coffee - Iced strawberry matcha latte w pink foam - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Small crammed space at the bottom of a building. Beautifully decorated in vibrant colors and the matcha itself is divine and the prettiest shade of green. I personally like the strawberry matcha the best. Not overly sweet, nor does it taste like sugar syrup. It is perfectly balanced and the staff was extremely friendly ! read more

Passed by here. Cute small spot. Cortado was perfect. Their beans flavor and extraction was great. I haven't had a good cup of coffee in the city for a while. Most places either have no flavor besides the milk and you can't taste the beans. Or it's too sour or too bitter which they don't care about their extraction time for their drinks. read more

Artara Coffee - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

What a delightful and much needed addition to the neighborhood! Although a few new cafes have been sprouting up in the Upper East Side, these cafes offer the usual fare, the standard Italian-American menus of espressos, cold brews, and, occasionally, matcha. I'm so glad an Asian coffee shop made its way in this predominantly white neighborhood, offering familiar flavors, from mung bean to coconut milk to pandan. I ordered their sweet mekong drink twice on two separate occasions, once with the extra shot of espresso and once without. Both iterations were delicious, and as someone who doesn't like strong coffee flavors, found the espresso complimentary to the sweetness and the milkiness of the pandan, mung bean, and coconut milk. I also ordered both of their fry breads, the nom bong and the ja kwai. The former was sweeter than the latter, but not in a dessert way. Both were great snacks to have alongside a cup of coffee or iced drink. I'm so glad Artara found its home in the Upper East Side, and I do hope they set their roots here for many years to come. I'm certainly adding this to my list of usuals. read more

I will definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Must try: Phnom Penh and Nom Bong! Why: Cambodian coffee shop on UES?! Yes, please! I crave Vietnamese Iced Coffee (Cafe Sua Da) and this new place hit the spot with their Phnom Penh iced coffee. Strong and sweet with condensed milk. I also got a Nom Bong fried pastry puff, which was warm with a slight crunch shell. Both were fantastic! Notes: Such a cute place outside and inside. The workers/owners were super friendly. We had a great convo about Southeast Asia. Their menu looks amazing so I can't wait to come back and try more, like the Sweet Mekong, Matcha, and Chai. read more

Artara Coffee - Phnom Penh ($7) - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

My friend really wanted to try this coffee shop, so I tagged along. She had a iced mango matcha and I had hot strawberry matcha, and we shared lemon ciambella (donut but more delicious!). We greatly enjoyed our drinks. The space is small, but full of Cambodian theme. We sat there for about 30mins, chatting with each other, the owner and one of the Cambodian customer who comes there every day! Service was great and the ciambella delicious. It and our drinks were all not that sweet, which was perfect for us as a little dessert after our brunch. I will be back with more friends! read more

I visited Artara Coffee for the first time. What a lovely addition to the neighborhood, it is! It's a cozy yet comfortable space and has a welcoming vibe. I will say I found the iced matcha to be on the pricey side, at $9.53 for a large, but the quality was very good! There's no premixed matcha here, and it's made the traditional way. The strawberry matcha wasn't too sweet and the strawberry didn't overpower the matcha. I would come back again. read more

The hot houjicha latte was delicious. I wished I found out about this cute coffee spot sooner during my trip in NY. I discovered on my last day there. It's cozy and a great place to work or study.

The person that made my drink was welcoming. read more

Cute little spot in the UES for strong coffee! My friend and I got the pandan mung bean latte, and I really enjoyed it. It is on the thicker side probably because of the mung bean, but the coffee flavor still comes through. Staff was very friendly and welcoming :) Would def come back to try their other drinks! read more

After learning about Artara on Instagram, I was pleasantly surprised that this was located in my neighborhood. It looked so cute, so I made an effort to check it out ASAP. It is located between 2nd and 3rd Ave at East 82nd St. (closer to 3rd Ave.) When you get to the cafe, it is my favorite shade of orange. A bright, welcoming color. You make your way down a staircase, and enter into a beautiful little Cambodian Cafe. It is run by a husband and wife team. They were both extremely lovely people. I am obsessed with pandan flavored anything, so when I saw they had a beverage with Pandan Soy Milk, I had wanted to try that. I went around 1:15pm, and they were sold out of the Sweet Mekong (panan soymilk) beverage, so I got the Strawberry Matcha Latte, and a Steamed Rice Cake. The matcha is strong and bitter, the jam at the bottom is nice and sweet. It was a good drink! The rice cake is so fantastic. I ate it by pulling it into 3 layers. Its fresh and bouncy and tasted liked pandan. Give this spot a try, its awesome!!! read more

Gosh I wish I could say more, but I really enjoyed my soy matcha. I went on a hot day, and it seems like the downstairs gets kinda hot, but I only went for the matcha. read more

THANK GOODNESS this new coffee shop opened in the UES offering authentic Cambodian coffee which is not even a concept you find easily in Queens, the World's borough. Got the Cafe Phnom (first on the menu) and it was similar to what you might recognize from Vietnamese Coffee- nice, STRONG, fragrant coffee sweetened with condensed milk to balance the bitterness. It was delicious and two things this neighborhood desperately needs - good coffee and a greater international cultural presence. I want to return for their rice cakes, which are reminiscent of Malaysian kuih / mochi, as they are probably made with tapioca or glutinous rice flour. I mean the fact that I can get that in the UES is a crazy concept to me! Thank you Artara Coffee for opening up and wishing you all the success. read more

Artara Coffee - phnom penh - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

This little Cambodian coffee shop is thriving on the upper east side! We've been coming here since they opened - it's great to be able to support a family run business with real faces to the business (they're all behind the counter!). My favorites are the coconut matcha cloud (coconut water with very strong matcha cold foam) and the Phnom Penh (like a Vietnamese coffee but stronger?!). Small space, down a set of stairs, with two small tables on the sidewalk and limited seating/standing room inside. read more

Such an adorable cafe! It has steps that lead down but once you're in it's a cosy set up for some excellent flavors! We had the layer cake and the sweet Saigon pandas iced drink and both were exceptional! The servers were so nice and patiently explained all the drinks and gave us recommendations. I cannot wait to revisit! read more

This new Cambodian coffee shop opened on the upper east side. You have to walk down a few steps to get to it. They made the space that they had beautiful and you feel like you are in Cambodia. I have never been but from what I know about it does. The people who work here are very nice. The space is super small but there is a little sitting area. I got an iced shaken espresso which was ok not really to my liking. I will be back to try something else. I also got a home made stream layer cake. They are soo cute. read more

Absolutely love this coffee shop! The coffee is delish and the team is so friendly. Such a great addition to the neighborhood.

Stopped by this cute Cambodian coffee shop tucked away in the UES. Their Phnom Penh reminds of me Viet coffe because of its intense, butter coffee flavors with the sweetness from the condensed milk. The Pumpkin spice Phnom Penh already has its condensed milk mixed in with a bunch of spices, maybe a little too spicy. The steamed coconut cake radiated familiar Southeast Asian coconut and slight pandan-y flavors. I love the interior decor - lots of Cambodian designs and elements but also has that modern cafe vibes. They did add some fall/autumn touches. Despite being on a lower level (does have a flight of stairs), their big windows offer enough natural light. Limited seating indoors but still several tables and one small couch area. Laptops were welcomed on weekdays, not sure about weekends. Outdoor seating with 2 tables available too. Interested in coming back to check out their other drinks and other Cambodian snacks. read more

I love finding new spots for coffee. This was my first time trying Cambodian coffee and it was a hit for sure, the phnom penh, which seemed to be a strong expresso with condenses milk. Similar style to Vietnamese coffee! They had really good strawberry matcha, the strawberry puree offered a nice balance to the matcha. The spot was so cute and orange, everything seemed to be from Cambodia, the servers were SO kind, you can tell he was very passionate about having people try Cambodian coffee. read more

This cute little cambodian cafe on the UES is my favorite. The workers are always so kind. So far i've tried the nom bong pastry and matchas. The nom bong is really light and sweet and the iced strawberry matcha is my absolute favorite. They are not cheap with the strawberry puree at all. I literally come here any chance I get. read more

Artara Coffee - Strawberry Matcha - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

My sister is always looking for unique coffee shops/cafes. We were meeting up at Central Park one day, so she suggested Artara Coffee nearby. We came on a Saturday at around 11, and there was a steady flow of people coming in and out. It's a Cambodian coffee shop, and they also have some pastries/sweets. My sister and I both had the Phnom Penh, which is a strong brewed iced coffee with condensed milk - similar to a Vietnamese iced coffee (though I'm not sure what the difference was - maybe the type of coffee they use?). It's very strong and it was a little too sweet for me - so definitely not something you want to drink on an empty stomach. Hubby had a strawberry matcha latte, which was basically half strawberry syrup/jam. It was WAY too sweet - even for him, and he loves sweets. We also tried some kind of a pink rice cake, which was nice. This one was unlike the drinks - it wasn't too sweet, so it was perfect. The shop is very small with probably just one table inside, and a few chairs/tables outside. Seems more like a to-go place, rather than a sit and chat café. read more

Sooooo cute! What a gorgeous addition to the city! Immediately, there were customers filling the outdoor seats, and the staircase leading down to and well and inside was so beautifully decorated (including seasonal fall decor). Super warm and friendly staff upon arrival who greeted me immediately....really sets the positive tone. I love that they featured traditional Cambodia coffee and snacks - that's what I came for and went for the Phnom Penh, which was served cold and deeeeeeelicious!!! They had a variety of baked yummy goodies, and I went for the baked sesame ball which was yummy with coffee, not too sweet, as well as the fried doughnut stick. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, always smiling and I can tell they were so proud of the beautiful space they created. Love the bright beautiful colors inside and that the staff is sharing Cambodia with NYC! Will be back in a heartbeat! read more
