    Maple latte
    Andrea S.

    I liked my maple latte here! The coffee shop is small so probably wouldn't come here to sit. The coffee is good.

    Matcha latte
    Jeff K.

    In the city for for the marathon and needed a matcha latte. This place has a great one and other options as well. It was busy, but it was still fast. Would come back again.

    This seems like a cozy and solid coffee shop in the city that mostly locals go to. I was recommended this coffee shop and glad I gave it a try. I ordered their chai latte and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect for a cold fall morning. There was a small line and it moves a bit slow. The inside is really small and can get crowded quickly. The cashier here was very friendly and I love that there's no up charge for oat milk. Def would return here!

    Super cool atmosphere and amazing coffee! Got the maple latte and it was delicious. It was also extremely efficient!

    Cold Brew

    Great spot to grab coffee in the city! The cold brew was delicious, especially by my standards, and the chai latte was incredible! It tasted almost like a horchata. It's very small inside, so best to grab and go.

    Fresh coffee every single time!! It is perfect way to start your day in New York, Manhattan! Located by Equinox! Workout and then coffee!!

    I got the Birch Spiced Latte, which I quite enjoyed. I'm usually a fan of spiced lattes, so I appreciated this specialty. I would say that the latte was solid, but it didn't knock my socks off. I would come again though!

    Birch Coffee has some really solid coffee at reasonable prices in the area. The staff who works there are also really nice which is always a plus. I got a hot matcha drink and it was pretty good, I like that it was unsweetened so that you could actually taste the matcha flavor. All in all, it's a solid coffee place.

    Birch coffee is a cozy, local favorite serving some of the best coffee in the area. It's impossible to avoid in the winter -- The string lights, tinsel, and rustic hip appeal is perfect for evoking a comforting winter ambiance. Despite the compactness of Birch coffee, the quality of its coffee extends beyond its walls, drawing in people from all over for a delicious sip. The Baristas are always really friendly and seem to love working there. With only two sizes, it's worth getting a large latte at ~7 dollars which is the price of some grande drinks at Starbucks. Given one espresso equals 2 shots and the smoothe creaminess of the overall latte, the price is worth it. Birch satisfies my coffee cravings all day too! I'm truly impressed by Birch, and it has earned its place as 5 star coffee shop among the UES community of coffee lovers. Recommendation: Seasonal Spiced Iced Latte

    Yay for no up charge for oat milk. The latte was pretty fairly priced, but I wish there were a stronger espresso flavor (got overpowered by milk).

    I walk by this place all the time and finally decided to stop by and get a coffee! I got a hot caramel latte ($6.80). I wanted something sweet and this was recommended to me by the barista. It was a flavorful latte that was not too sweet! The cup is also super cute! I would only get a coffee here as a treat for myself once in awhile.

    Fly on the wall croissant
    Meghna S.

    Complimentary serving of a giant fly if you order a quick bite. Birch is one of my favorite coffee places in the city. By far better than Starbucks and Dunkins hence I literally go looking for Birch wherever I am. It comes close to Gregory's and La Colombe. I was passing by 63rd and lex and decided to get a coffee and muffin. To my horror I saw a giant fly resting comfortably on a croissant. I doubt the staff had any awareness or not sure if they didn't care. Lost my appetite....it's just sad when good places take hygiene lightly. Makes you question if you should trust this place anymore.

    Hemp latte
    Darya S.

    Definitely one of the best lattes in New York, and maybe of all time. Visiting home and I couldn't wait to come by and grab a cup! It's top-notch. I got the hemp milk latte and it's the closest thing to almond milk. There's absolutely no bitterness or sourness to their coffee beans. It's the right amount of creaminess. I believe they also have a punch card if you go often. Just be aware that there's no seating here. There a bench outside, but don't bank on it (pun, because the word "bank" comes from the word "bench!" Get it?!).

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety!

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.

I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

Paris Baguette is a neighborhood bakery café, bringing expertly crafted baked and brewed goods to the community. Their bakers, cakers, and baristas serve up handcrafted cakes, freshly baked pastries and breads, delicious Lavazza coffee, and more. One thing that really stood out is their PB Rewards program. It's super easy to join via their app, and you earn 1 point per $1 spent toward free pastries, drinks, cake slices, and more and i even got a free pastry just for signing up. I ordered a chai latte and my free strawberry croissant pastry filled with soft custard cream and strawberries, dusted with powdered sugar. The strawberry croissant had fresh strawberries and cream and it was the perfect breakfast after a run in Central Park. The second visit was to take advantage of their BOGO cake slice deal through the rewards app. It's a fun way to explore their cake selection without paying full price. I ordered the Blueberry chiffon cake slice filled with soft cream, topped with blueberry yogurt soft cream and blueberries and the strawberry soft cream cake slice, a vanilla cake filled with soft cream and fresh strawberries, topped with more berries. Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
