It just adds a fantastic flavor without even needing extra sweeteners. Jae, the barista, is an absolute gem and I enjoy our conversations every time I come in for my matcha - Jae really takes time to speak to customers, crack jokes, and makes us smile - and it just adds volumes to the experience. Happy to say I'm officially a regular!

The space itself is quite small, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot than a sit-down café. I ordered the matcha latte with almond milk, and it was just okay. The almond flavor overpowered the matcha, which could be improved with better quality matcha. Overall, it's a decent spot... maybe some of the other drinks are better.

I got an iced vanilla matcha latte that I really enjoyed! You could taste the vanilla and I didn't mind at all. I drank my matcha quite fast! All the tables are communal and picnic style. A lot of people were working but it eventually cleared out/became less crowded. The bathroom is in the back and is single stall and you have to step up and down. The sink is a little janky and there was barely any soap on the dispenser. I would come back again to get some work done since finding a table wasn't too bad.

The menu is short and well-rounded, with the usual espresso drinks plus breakfast and lunch options, and a handwritten fall specials board. I tried the cold brew ($5.25). It's served in a smaller cup than you might expect, but the taste is excellent: smooth, rich, and not at all watered down. Quality over quantity here. Prices are on par for the neighborhood, and the staff was friendly and quick. A nice little escape from the busy SoHo streets, especially on a rainy day like the one we visited.

Portion was pretty big. It comes with really delicious seasoned chicken, half salad/half brown rice, onions, corn, black beans and pico de gallo. My friend got the breakfast burrito. That was on the smaller portion. It's perfect for us small eaters but if you're someone with a bigger appetite....FYI you might want to order something to go along with that burrito. Wish we were able to try their coffee drinks because everything looks GOOD. If anything, I think they're known for their coffee beans as you can place a order on their website to get it shipped home to you. Unfortunately, seating may be difficult to come by as it was all taken up by people and their laptops. We were lucky enough to get the last table towards the front. Although there are some tables + chairs on the sidewalk too. Great option for when the weather is nice and people watching.

The bathroom is a whole museum of cleaning products on display, such a creative use of wall space. Definitely returning to try some other items and for a small visual vacation. Warm friendly staff.

I often wonder how people in a big city like NYC find their community. I'm pretty sure I discovered…read morethe answer at this coffee shop. The warmth of "neighbors" and regulars oozed during my one hour visit. First off, this shop is located in the depths of the subway halls (it's not easy to find if you're specifically looking for it). I asked the building receptionist and they directed me downstairs, etc. The staff is serious about coffee (hence the great reviews). I ordered a smoked vanilla and orange peel latte with yogurt topped with kiwi, avocado cream and hemp seeds. Both were incredible. I'm not one to get excited about yogurt but this recipe was exceptional! They also had some oats on the menu that were catching my eye. Back to the community aspects- Many folks walked in during my time here and all seemed to know one another by name, hug, catch up, and then head off to work. It was good for the soul to see.

I noticed when I first visited that there seemed to be a number of regular customers coming in and engaging with friendly conversation with the staff, which I thought was a good sign! Both of the espresso-based drinks I tried were well-constructed. I tried a seasonal latte on my second visit (the Smokey Star Dreamsicle) that included an orange-infused syrup along with a light dusting of smoked sea salt that offset the sweetness well. The flat white I tried on my initial visit had a great balance of steamed milk and espresso.

The service was excellent, and the place is full of natural light. I got the chicken salad sandwich which was delicious.

I've added this place to come back to try their all day breakfast.

You can also take it to go, today I stayed. I had an iced maple spice latte and wow it did not disappoint! And then to eat I had The Reuben Benny. Which, was very filling and tasted good. Hannah If I remember correctly is one of the workers here she was super nice. And the manager of the place I think who he was is name is Alex I believe if I remember correctly was very nice and welcoming and checked in to see how I was enjoying the meal. He was also very nice in that my coffee was on the house since I came all the way down to try this spot out from where I live. Just a great vibe and a great addiction to the area. The playlist that was on while I was there was also awesome! All songs I knew and upbeat. Highly recommend this spot!

We ordered the iced Yemeni Chai Latte and the Dubai Chocolate Latte, and both were incredibly refreshing. The Yemeni chai had a wonderful blend of warm spices, while the Dubai Chocolate Latte really hit the spot, especially if you enjoy rich, pistachio-chocolate flavor profiles. Service was quick and friendly, and the ambiance was one of the highlights of our visit. The café has an eclectic, welcoming vibe, with Yemeni music playing in the background and walls adorned with beautiful artwork, murals, and maps that pay homage to the history of coffee and its trade routes around the world, particularly Yemen's important role in coffee culture. We also tried the honey bread stuffed with a mild, soft cheese. While the bread itself was fresh and the honey was absolutely delicious (and available for purchase at the register), we found the pastry a bit bland for our tastes. That said, it may simply be that our Western palates were expecting something sweeter than what is traditionally intended. There were plenty of other pastries that looked tempting, but we'd definitely return primarily for the iced lattes and the unique atmosphere. A lovely spot to cool off and experience a little piece of Yemeni coffee culture in NYC.
