    Such a cute shop! A great menu. There was a good eating area as well. They have a seasonal menu and their matcha menu was pretty good

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    The amazing service, thoughtful owners, and delicious coffee earn 5 starts from me! I really appreciated how patient and open the owners are in explaining drinks to me, and other patrons after me. I tried their Phnom Penh (half sweet) which was very strong but very delicious! the space inside is also very cute and was decorated well for the holidays. I will definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood!

    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.

    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!

    Possibly my favorite coffee I've tried in Upper East Side!! The coconut latte did change my life for the better. There's a lot of cool drinks I want to try from there! Some good looking pastries too. The staff is so friendly. It's a cute little spot with limited indoor and outdoor seating.

    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. I love the orange and earthy color scheme. They also have pastries too. Check out my pics. I'll have to return. The service was friendly and efficient. The person that made my drink was welcoming.

    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!

    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.

    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!!!

    This is such an adorable cafe! It is a small space, but they made it so cozy and warm feeling. I just got a regular coffee. I hope to go back soon to try some more of their drinks.

    Big fan of Artara Coffee. The Cambodian coffee and the nom bong was awesome. There are other baked goods that are good as well.

    Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

    Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
