Iced Shakerato, Iced NOLA, and pound cake
Leenzie B.

Me & my partner were here a few weeks ago, the latte and the cafe loaf were amazing! The staff were friendly and the ambiance was cool like a normal cafe in the city.

Spearmint Tea

We had the NOLA iced coffee and spearmint tea. NOLA tasted similar to cafe au latte from café Du Monde. Limited seating available inside the shop. Additional seating outside. Service was quick.

Shakerato
Anthony P.

Blue bottle coffee stays as one of my favorite coffee spots in NYC despite being such a big chain. Have had a few of their drinks, including their NOLA coffee which is nice and reminiscent of Viet Coffee. Most recently I enjoyed their Shakerato. SHAKERATO - a midpoint between the classic Italian shakerato (just espresso, and ice shaken to a foamy texture, no milk or sweetener) and the shaken espresso at Starbucks that has gotten so popular. This is sweetened and includes milk and is such a nice refreshing coffee treat that isn't too sweet especially for the warmer weather. This has been my favorite version of this that I've tried thus far. They get the balance right between the ice, the foam, the creaminess and sweetness with the bitterness of the coffee.

Latte

I think I visit this location every single time I come to New York City. I just absolutely love it, and the employees are always so nice and welcoming. The coffee is always perfection, and the place is always so clean. I don't know what else there is to say except I'll be back!

If you're a coffee drinker, you have to stop by. Very affordable. I took one sip of that coffee and felt it travel to every part of my body. Made me feel like Goku taking a senzu bean.

Sweet latte with oatmilk

Unsurprisingly busy due to the location. Staff was attentive, quick and polite. Coffee was great. Random note, they don't have coffee sleeves so if you have sensitive hands they'll provide you with an additional cup. Lids are self service which gives you and opportunity to enjoy the latte art. More seats than expected for the size!

it is a little bit to be founded. However, it still attracts lots of customers. I like the NOLA series. No matter hot one or cold one. My elders like the hot tea.

Coffee on the counter of Blue Bottle Coffee in Rockefeller

- Ambiance/Vibe: while it was close to closing, this location was still bustling, but it was very sleek and clean even with the crowd. I loved the over all look of the space and area. - Coffee: the coffee was very smooth and so good. It reminded me of one of my favorites from back home. - Food: the shop did have a couple of food items, but as it was near closing we didn't try any this time. - Prices: the cost was pretty on point to most majors chains - Staff: The staff was relatively nice, but I could tell they were ready to go with the time. - Merch: they really knew they branding, and had a great array of bottle, mugs, and other merch All in all I would give this one a 4/5 's. The Rockefeller location was a little hard to find, but I would enjoy going back.

I visited Blue Bottle on the recommendation of a friend who recently visited NYC. I am not much of a coffee drinker but it was cold out and I wanted something warming. After conversing with the staff member behind the register, I opted for a green tea. It may have had something else in it. The staffer called my name and I watched as my drink was decorated with a heart (see photo). It was not as hot as I would have liked it to be. Thus, it didn't take long for me to drink it up vs. having a desirous, warming drink. Like I said, I am not much of a coffee drinker and don't often visit coffee shops.

This is a must for me when in NYC. Options are different than Starbucks. Don't expect to find overly sugared options and fancy flavors. This place is more about the coffee. Only real sugar is available for sweetening. I visited the Rockefeller Center shop. Space is cramped but tables are offered. Mobile ordering is available. I'll be back as soon as I'm back in NYC!

Conveniently Located on the lower level at the Rockefeller Center near the restrooms (were very clean by the way). They are designed to order, pay, and take your purchase to-go. The menu is straight to the point offering espressos, lattes, cold brew, pour over, tea, and hot chocolate... Customer service was excellent, I enjoyed light conversation and felt welcomed. The employees take pride in their work and share their knowledge about coffee. I learned a few things today about how to slurp coffee to experience the notes of flavors such as raspberry, chocolate, and molasses which was listed for the pour over... I ordered "regular coffee with cream" and was worried about the extra notes changing the flavor I was hoping for. I was impressed; and after paying 10.50 for 2 small coffees, I was relieved it tasted so much better than expected. I would happily purchase from there again if in the area. Definitely would stop in during the winter time since they are so close to the ice skating area. I would like to try a hot chocolate during watching the snow fall.

Iced Cafe Mocha
Kayla H.

I am still thinking about this coffee days later. I got the Iced Cafe Mocha. It tasted so fresh you would think they just picked the espresso beans that morning. It had a hint of a fruity aftertaste that kept getting better as I drank it. The prices ranged from $4-6. If the line is long, don't let that deter you! Our line moved fast and we had our coffee in no time. There are Blue Bottle locations all around the city, that's how you know it's good! I wish there were locations close to home. I will definitely return during my next trip to the city!

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good.

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! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

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.
