    Cold brew with hazelnut and a splash of oat milk and a carrot cake muffin.
    Jen Y.

    Great little spot in the Amtrak area of Moynihan Train Hall. Quick service, great coffee and the carrot cake muffin is amazing!

    Big fan of the cold brew-- perhaps I really needed coffee this morning, but this one did the job (wish they had the spiced latte for me to try) Cheers!

    Super quick service for that morning pick-me-up before heading in a long Amtrak! Decent cold brew with a few syrup choices, milk alternatives. Excellent, friendly service. A friendly fellow commuter recommended the rosemary honey butter biscuit and so did the baristas so we couldn't resist. It was actually better than I anticipated - the flavor profile was absolutely delightful - a must try!

    Long time fan of Birch and love that they have a spot so conveniently at Moynihan while waiting for the Amtrak. Great quality and fast service. My go-to is the mocha or latte.

    Passing through NYC at Moynahan Train Station and gave this spot a try instead of the SB. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of service received at this small coffee shop. The staff were all smiles and eager to serve, providing some much needed caffeine. We got the dirty chai and they added a nice touch, something you don't often see anymore. It tasted perfect, just the pick me up I needed. The price was on point as well. If in the area, give them a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    Birch Coffee was just what I needed before I got on my three hour train. The line was long, but the employees were committed to getting you in and out quickly. They had a solid selection of baked goods and I ended up giving the rosemary honey butter biscuit a try. It was different and pretty tasty. I also tried out their iced birch spiced latte which was great. Loved their twist on a more traditional PSL. Overall a great place to stop when you are waiting for your train to grab a quick but delicious coffee and baked good.

    This is a wonderful little coffee kiosk in the train station. I always stop and grab a latte here before getting my train home. It's one of the best lattes I've had. The coffee isn't bitter, and the have a few flavor options. The little heart on top always makes my day! The staff is always friendly and efficient, which is ideal if you're in a hurry

    Honestly fairly surprised, as this is just a coffee stand in the middle of Penn Station, with the clear target customer a train goer looking for quick cup of coffee. However, they move fast, produce good coffee, with excellent service! I got a cortado, and it was super solid. Good high quality coffee, with notes of fruitness, and good balance of creaminess. Honestly not much else to ask for! Would recommend if you're in the area, even if it being in the middle of Penn Station is probably typically not the best sign.

    The convenience alone of this location is great. Between this and the blue bottle in Moynihan I decided to try Birch. We were a little pressed for time since our train was going to board soon, but the line at birch moved fast and they work quick to finish drinks. I ordered a chocolate croissant and an iced French vanilla latte. Before ordering, the cashier asked to make sure I had 5-7 minutes for the drink to be made which was really helpful. My croissant was good and coffee was great. Overall a great spot to grab coffee before your train!

    How do you know their coffee is good? Order a black drip or Americano without sugar or milk. I did and their black drip was good. It wasn't bitter and I didn't have to add sugar or milk to tolerate it. Good coffee is not bitter! They have pastries if you'd like to have something with your coffee. They have a small cold fridge with Boxed Water and juice. They were busy but the staff was pretty efficient and friendly.

    want to enjoy a hot coffee in Moynihan Train Hall? go to Birch Coffee. the small coffee stand inside the train hall is sorta close to the 31st and Eighth Avenue entrance and it's pretty busy since it's in the thick of the train station. there's a coffee menu of all of your standard java drinks. the stand is neatly maintained for speedy efficency. staff is friendly and keeps lines moving. percolate your Amtrak train ride with some fine caffeinated brew.

    Nice people and decent coffee. It's close to the train waiting area. They also have Martinelli's Apple juice for the kids.

    So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

I really enjoyed their matcha basque cheesecake with a prominent, deep matcha flavor. The texture was pretty smooth and loved how it wasn't too sweet. The Ho-Dduk has the lovely combo of sweet brown sugar/caramel flavor and creamy vanilla ice cream. When its hot, the dough is super chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. The mango bingsoo had a good mango flavor; wasn't too tangy nor too sweet. Mangoes were fresh for the season. The elixir or the matcha bingsoo was solid too, but I still preferred the strong matcha flavors from the cheesecake. Lines sometimes are long but it also moves fast! After ordering, you get a buzzer that will tell you when your desserts are ready. Lots of seating options from tables to high tops.

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.
