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!

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

Came here for coffee .Vey good quality coffee .Ordered couple of cookies & Almond cake . Good flavor . Loved their Green matcha , Coffee mocha . Nice place to visit .

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!

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!

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.
