This cafe is adorable, with a great ambiance, and kind baristas. However, it's tiny. Know that you can't really stake claim and chill for a bit since there's not much room. But, grab a latte and wander to the park instead - you won't be bummed to get a drink from here.

Hojicha latte
Christina L.

An adorable cafe in Hell's Kitchen with reasonable prices and yummy drinks! My favorite is the hot Hojicha latte + chocolate syrup to make a Hojicha hot chocolate. It's just a perfect drink for the winter and tastes amazing too!

Amazing coffee. Interesting options. I loved the blackbird, I've never had anything like it! The firefly was just okay - I would say it's not for every palate, which is obvious by the hodgepodge of ingredients it has. If you're looking for something new - you have to try it! Seating is quite limited and wouldn't recommend this place for working.

Everything here is great!! I've come here several times now and everything I've tried has been really good - I recently got a latte and the blondies. The latte was smooth, hot, delicious and no bitterness. The blondies were moist, crumbly, and had delicious spices. And everything is extremely reasonably priced. The workers are always extremely friendly and helpful and it looks like a nice spot to work since they have a good amount of seats.

Great spot off the beaten path and away from Time Square. Super chill vibes seats about 15 people kind of small, but works perfectly for the area. I came in around 11:30 and there was no line only one person ahead of me. The egg sandwich was absolutely delicious. The egg comes extremely fluffy. I added avocado for a nice finishing touch. My acid reflux won't allow me to have spicy so I just got one without the chili sauce although it sounds like it would be a delicious edition. I sought out a spot like this because I was growing tired of the crap food from Time Square. This place was perfect! I will definitely come again.

Cheddar scallion scone. Omg
Bren K.

Mmmmm. Decaf cappuccino was beautiful and tasty. Earl Grey,,too. But the cheddar & scallion scone was crazy good. Moist (haha). Soooo delicious.

This is a cute hidden find on the edge of the Theater District. Needed to find a slot to kill time in between appointments and didn't want to go somewhere that I would t be able to get a seat so did a quick google search for Hells Kitchen and thought this would fit the bill which is did. Small, but plenty of seats, music not loud, and clean. I ordered decaf moccahino with 1% milk which sucks in paper but tasted great. Recommend

Dragonfly latte
Sreyoshi B.

Loved stopping by this cosy cafe on a Sunday morning. The place was packed and had a delicious aroma of coffee wafting right into the streets! We chose the dragonfly latte out of their seasonal menu and loved the kick of gochujang. Such a unique flavor! Also loved the walnut honey ricotta toast and black sesame kouigh amman. Cannot wait to visit again!

The Robin was so far the best turmeric latte I've had in the city. Nice flavor and consistency. And it wasn't too sweet even though it has honey. Service was good and I liked the ambiance. Would highly recommend.

Such an adorable little cafe on 45th. My usual coffee place next door to the apt shut down temporarily while they open up a new location so I went on the hunt for another local place. Bird and Branch did not disappoint. They have a wonderful selection of seasonal drinks as well as a unique selection of regular offerings. Their pastry case was also calling to me, and I would have gotten something if I hadn't just come from lunch. Service was quick and friendly. I look forward to coming back to try new things. We got the dirty horchata and the nightingale this trip.

Matcha and coconut
Barbara S.

My son treated me to this very pricey matcha coconut drink. Very delicious, light and refreshing. The fresh coconut chunks were so good to eat after drinking the matcha.

I love going on food adventures because i get to discover places like Bird & Branch. Love their unique menu and I had a hard time deciding. The board in the front laying out the egg sandwich made me want to order one and I did. Interesting sandwich and my thoughts are that the egg is steamed well, but the ginger scallion sauce is very overwhelming and takes over everything. The brioche also can use a warm up to make it soft and fluffy. I also ordered the house blend almond and Mac nut latte. Delicious - I drank it very fast. The last item I ordered was the miso rice krispy treat which is a big hit. I love the balance that the miso gives to the usual sweetness of a treat. I'll have to play around with this when I make my rice krispy treat. Casual. Indoor seating. Great service. Please come and create your own adventure.

A thank you letter I left for the Cafe staff!
Edward L.

Amazing! This is a cool oasis from a busy city. It is my favorite cafe in New York City. The mochi cake is a sweet dessert that I can have for my entire life, sweet enough to brighten my day but subtle enough to feel good about it, the best outcome created by hands from "sweet rice" and butter. Another must have is the "egg sandwich" seasoned with scallions and soy sauce within brioche buns. The perfect combination of best flavors from the globe. The coffee beans are handpicked and well presented for a patron to choose what is the right kind for that moment! Always perfectly made with ultimate care!

Didn't love the hoji brownies. They didn't seem fresh at all. But the place was friendly (and busy) so maybe this was a "me" problem

Do you guys have outdoor dining?

Hi, we have several benches outside the shop for seating, though no outdoor table service or in-street seating due to construction the summer.

Do you guys have restrooms?

Sorry, we do not have a restroom at the shop.

Considering this place for a business meeting, are there a lot of seats available?

Hi Rosemary, Thanks for reaching out! We have a total of about 16-18 seats, depending on how…

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!

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.

I was curious what makes ssal cakes different from typical flour. Honestly I was wondering if it…read morewould be chewy like mochi (it's not!). When I went at 7pm on a Thursday, they ran out of some of the ssal cake flavors, but luckily they still had the mugwort flavor which was the one I was aiming for. The plain cream one looks very angelic and attractive with the pale whiteness but for $1.50 more, I'd rather get a flavored version. Also I recall others saying that the plain one is a bit tasteless. The ssal cake ended up being super airy and light, even softer than a chiffon cake imo. It doesn't have oiliness, roughness, or acidity. Likewise, the cream matches the gentleness of the cake. The structure is interesting too, because the top layer of cream is thick, then a thin layer of cake, then a thin layer of cream, and a thick layer of ssal cake. When I eat it, I often get hit with the thick layer of cream on top while wishing there's more cake. Don't get me wrong, I like all components of it. I've had mugwort before but not super familiar with it. For those who've never had it before, mugwort tastes herbally and earthy kind of like the Chinese herb prunella vulgaris (?). The flavor here is strong but not in your face aggressive. I like how they dust the whole top with more mugwort powder which adds to the flavor and provides another layer of texture that's not overly dry (slightly messy tho!) I like how the mugwort is a greyish shade of green which honestly looks so chic and unique compared to other bright and colorful desserts nowadays. You can argue that the color looks dull, but I like it. My only complaints for the ssal cake are: 1) wish it came in a smaller size which would be easier to stomach (literally) and financially, 2) wish the cakes were in perfect squares. They're more rectangular without straight edges and 90 degree corners.
