Came here on a sunday afternoon. It was lively, but we were able to quickly get drinks and find a table. I really liked the plant decor and the amount of natural lighting, and how they had games like chess and uno that you could play for free. The drinks themselves were just ok. The matcha latte had ok flavor, but the freddo cappuccino had a bit of a metallic aftertaste. However, I would come back again for the ambiance. read more

What a cute coffee shop in the middle of NOHO that serves yummy drinks and feels very peaceful?! Heard about it a while and decided to stop by since I was in the area. Got myself a Cafe Lyria which is their Greek espresso with honey and oatmilk. I typically get my lattes with less ice but I actually would not recommend it for this drink because it does help dilute the espresso and the sweetness. It was strong and tasty overall. The decor was very cute and aesthetic with the high ceilings, giant floor to ceiling windows, greenery, brick walls and wooden furniture. Good amount of seating indoor and outdoor - perfect for a chill hangout or to get some work done. Staff were polite. Drinks came out quick despite a long line on a weekend morning. read more

Cafe in SoHo! Absolutely love the interior in here -- high ceilings, the base is modern (black with wood accents, stone) and filled with a lot of plants and curated clutter; maddd vibes in here. Just came for a coffee to go, but looks super laptop friendly (saw people laptop-ing on the weekend) and good for getting work done and/or hanging out if you can grab a spot; good amount of seating but the space overall isn't crazy big. Drink-wise, from what I saw, it's mostly basic espresso drinks and tea here. Shoutout to whoever was working register when I came -- she was so incredibly sweet; she threw in a few extra cookies for me and that really was a great start to my day. read more

Absolutely gorgeous interior! Definitely gets packed so not ideal for coworking. I'll come back when the weather is warmer because I feel like the iced Lyria latte or iced Freddo cappuccino is where they'll really shine. The hot Lyria latte didn't quite hit all the notes I needed it to in terms of flavor. read more

I've now been here several times and it's such a cute coffee shop, though be warned it can get very crowded and seating is limited. The drink menu is pretty varied and they have a decent selection of pastries to choose from. The staff has always been friendly, and it's a good place to catch up with a friend or bring a book to read. Would definitely recommend if in the neighborhood! read more

I was in the SoHo area in need of a caffeine boost and came across Cafe Lyria. I had heard about this place and was interested since they had Greek coffee, and usually play Hercules on their mini TV? I was sold. I didn't realize how large the space was, the area to order was kind of packed but to the right, there is a larger spot for sitting down to enjoy your beverage. I was already heading somewhere so I didn't sit inside but the inside and outside was pretty bustling. I did enjoy my coffee, but next time I would try something else! read more

I absolutely LOVED cafe Lyria! Such a cute coffee shop to read or work in for a bit. The space is a little small so it can get crowded, but if you find a spot, it's a great place to stay. I really enjoyed their flat white - it was one of the best that I had in New York, and even took some of their beans home with me to Houston :) would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a caffeine fix! read more

I was in search of nice place to sit and relax after shopping in SOHO. I walked by Café Lyria and decided to give it a try. The ambiance inside is fantastic, modern, trendy, and perfect for a relaxed cafe vibe. The place was buzzing with people reading, working, and hanging with friends. Not sure what to order, I took the barista's recommendation and tried their house special latte. It was an excellent choice. The blend was smooth and flavorful, topped with frothy foam. I'll be back for that latte next time I'm in the area. read more

Very demure, very cutesy. Café Lyria is an aesthetic coffee shop tucked away in an alley of NoHo. Beautifully decorated with rustic interior decors, wooden paneling and plants. Their price tag is reasonable in the area, including their hypest specialty drinks like Freddo Cappuccino and Lyria Latte ($5-6). I've been curious about their viral Freddo Cappuccino. It is a Greek style coffee combining iced espresso with frothed cold milk and (optionally) a sweetener. I don't usually add sugar or sweetener to my coffee, but the espresso base is quite bitter even for me. It tastes like a dark roast black coffee with an extra thick layer of milk foam. Imo the coffee doesn't fully living up to the hype, but it's still worth checking them out for the vibe. read more

Rather difficult grabbing a seat to hangout at this cafe, so if you don't have time or are in a rush to settle down I would recommend skipping this place. However, if you have time and want to take in and absorb the lovely lush vibes here, be both patient and vigilant of seating turnover. The cafe is small in the way that seats are packed rather close to each other. Good amount of people doing work on their computers. I would prefer there to be some "laptop free," sections at these kind of cafes sometimes, because it detracts other people from being able to enjoy an establishment. I ordered one of the croissants because I had already had my caffeine fix for the day. I must say, it was excellent. As someone who doesn't particularly like croissants, I was pretty pleasantly surprised. While it cost as much as a coffee, I felt that this was absolutely a worthy trade. From what I noticed, the drinks don't seem to be particularly pricey--which I was caught off guard by, especially due to the spots popularity. They could be milking their population more (think lots of snooty guests that bumped shoulders with me or gave me dirty looks more than once). If you're able to snag a seating area for your party a little in a tucked in area, that is wonderful. I wouldn't feel super comfortable unwinding in any regular seat where you're brushing elbows with the people next to you. read more

Immaculate vibes. Felt a strong sense of community surrounding the cafe as i walked closer from the group playing soccer on the street to the pitter patter buzz of convos on the outside patio. Similar to Agora in Houston which also has supreme vibes. Wish lyria was open longer but felt very breezy and refreshing to find this little green woody nook in the midst of manhattan. read more

It's small, it's always crowded, it's loud. The Barista girlies are sweet and efficient! Drinks are aight - basically the same as the Mulberry street location. Honestly disappointing and the vibes of the customers it attracts are not my cup of tea to say the least but they have nice interior. They added a bunch of benches outside (which are usually already crowded). read more

small coffee shop folded into the lobby of a NoHo building on a quiet stretch of Crosby Street. if it wasn't for tables and seats often scattered in front of Cafe Lyria, you'd likely walk by this spot and not notice it. the coffee shop offers a variety of coffee & tea centric drinks as well as a small menu of items. the interior is a chill eclectic vibe made of a variety of seating options from a large couch, tables and chairs. the calming decor is a result of plants, warm subtle tones, and the space itself feeling cozy but not cramped. there's stacks of books and games placed throughout the coffee shop and a small tv playing a variety of anime. stopped by a few times and each time ordered an Americano coffee. the coffee was flavorful without being overly bitter and had that smooth hot caffeine kick that only good coffee delivers. never managed to take a seat at Cafe Lyria mostly because i had places to be. will say it is quite busy during the day as prime seats are mostly taken up by people who are laptop-ing and working (pretending to remote work!). the crowd, here, is a mix of students, remote workers, and mid social media scenesters. while not the greatest mix of NYers...the vibe remains chill. the ladies behind the counter are friendly and laidback and seem to enjoy the life of dealing caffeine to the chronically tired people slightly north of Houston Street. worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood, but not sure i would head here if it weren't convenient to things I need to get done in NoHo. read more

This place is so popular and I want to love it, but I wasn't that impressed by the drink I got and it's always super crowded. I've stopped by twice and there's never been any open seats available. The aesthetic is nice, but doesn't really make up for the flavors. read more

I had just gotten back from a summer trip to Crete and was craving a freddo cappuccino. I admit I was influenced through social media - and saw this Greek themed coffee shop and was excited to come check it out. My drink I guess satisfied the itch for a freddo cappuccino. The place is tastefully decorated, paying homage to Greece. But there was just a coldness/unfriendliness about the place, that was hard to put my finger on - not the staff who seemed polite enough, but perhaps the patrons who were there. The people here seem like the type who are trying a bit too hard to be cool/hip (not necessarily a bad thing, just not my vibe or crowd). With that said, I'd come back again if I'm ever in the area! read more

You can't deny how beautiful the inside is! Plenty of seats to admire the room, catch up with a friend, or work. I ordered their popular Cafe Lyria latte.

1/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 1/1 Service; 0.5/1 Value Cafe Lyria is probably all over Instagram and TikTok as one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafes in New York, and in this regard they do not disappoint in the slightest. It is a spacious place beautifully and elegantly decorated with high ceilings, greenery, photographs, and windows allowing for people watching. The photographer is Yannis Mastoros, whose prints can be ordered and picked up at this cafe, so I'm assuming it operates also as a little gallery nestled in a cafe. While the entire space is gorgeous and airy, seating is very limited relative to how busy it is (lines go out the door sometimes). If you plan on having a work/study session here, definitely arrive early to secure a seat. I wish they took full advantage of the amount of space in the cafe to maximize the seating potential. The music is also on the louder side. Service is very friendly and the staff is cordial among each other as well as their patrons. What convinced me to go was a recommendation from my Greek friends, who are friends with the owner. I met Theo and he made me and my friend feel right at home with speedy, courteous service. I had a latte while my friend had a regular hot coffee and croissant, which he said was rather good. Both coffees were rich and we could tell from the lack of an acidic aftertaste that it was freshly brewed. The prices run rather steep relative to the portion sizes, especially for the signature beverages with additional charge for ice or milk alternatives. A small drink can easily set you back $7 or more. Overall while I don't think the coffee itself is deep or bold enough in terms of flavor to justify that price tag, the inherent beauty of the space in a prime SoHo location possibly does for those special study sessions or hang outs! I can definitely foresee myself returning to try some of the Greek specialty coffees (Greek frappes) as treats! read more

I am genuinely confused about the hype with this cafe because there was a pretty long line out the door on a Saturday at 2PM. It's a really cute and vibey space, and there's pretty good seating inside and outside. A lot of people hung out on the outdoor chairs and tables. I got the Freddy, which is one of their signature drinks. I honestly thought it was just okay? I drank mine really quickly, and it was pretty watery and not well balanced. read more

Don't be fooled by the aesthetic interior. This coffee shop was such a disappointment. They did not have toaster ovens / microwaves to heat up the baked items. I ordered an iced cappuccino and they poured a glass of iced oat milk and dumped a pre-made espresso shot in there. It tasted like oat milk with a small hint of coffee. I had no idea how long the espresso had been sitting out. Definitely not worth $6.00+. They also did not have trash cans inside so we walked outside with our trash in hand before finding a trash can on the corner of the street. Overall not worth the money. There are a plethora of coffee shops around the city more deserving of your business than Cafe Lyria. read more

The layout of this coffee shop is very interesting. The decor is fun and the vibe is nice, but despite it being a good space, the seating is limited. I got the Lyria. The coffee was very good, and I liked the hint of sweetness. My only issue is that it was unclear what the Lyria was, and when described next to the Fredo Cappuccino sounded better but didn't quite get into the true difference among the two. The coffee, despite being around $7 total was also small. Kind of a ridiculous amount for such a hefty price. read more

A 7 dollars of ice. They fill the whole cup with ice.....I don't get it. And the ice drink is more expansive

Friendly staff it's definitely a scene on the weekends. The coffee is mediocre. I was expecting something amazing given how much hype there's been about this place.- the latte was gross and they had no flavoring for it other than honey read more

Cafe Lyria is a trendy and aesthetically pleasing coffee shop. The name and decor are what drew me to visiting while in the areas and I am so glad I did. It seems to be a popular spot with folks who may either live or work in the area which is great to see. It was busy which I assume is a good thing but made it difficult to find seating - they offered games and other things like books for entertainment which I appreciated. They offer both in door and out door seating. Coffee is a little overpriced but I'm not surprised and knew given the area. I'd definitely visit again! read more

Cute coffee shop! I tried the Lyria Latte (6/10) which is an espresso drink with honey and oat milk. It wasn't too sweet (I prefer sweeter) and the coffee flavor was a bit strong for my liking. This café does have a nice outdoor seating area and is very well decorated on the inside (cozy couches, coffee table books, etc). I did see people doing work on computers here but I'm not sure how productive that would be (for me at least) since the space gets quite packed/noisy. read more

I had never heard of this coffee shop before this past weekend. The interior is cute and you are surrounded by old TVs and other memorabilia. There are also plants hanging around this coffee shop which makes it pretty. They do have indoor seating. It is located in NOHO. They also have complimentary wifi. This place is perfect to come if you are WFH ( work from home) or want to grab a coffee with a friend. I got a coffee that had Oat milk ( you can also get Almond milk) and honey. It was tasty. Highly recommend stopping in here if you find yourself in the area. read more

Cute decor and nice vibes at @cafelyria . There are very few seats so we were pretty lucky to have found a cozy spot. I think the coffee itself was alright. The signature coffee is unique but I couldn't taste much of the flavor and would probably rather have a normal cup of cappuccino. Another downside was that the trash can was hard to find, and people basically just left trash everywhere, which was kind of annoying. read more

I absolutely loved the vibes at this cafe! My friend and I stopped in on a rainy day and it was packed but there is a good amount of seating. I got the signature iced lyria latte which is espresso with greek honey and oat milk, I did sub mine with almond milk (which they have and will do!) - I highly recommend this if you're a fan of honey!! Price wise was relatively inexpensive compared to a lot of cafes in the city so that's a pro. It wasn't very strong for me and I really need my caffeine fix so that's the only reason for the 4/5 stars but other than that, I'd definitely come back and get a stronger drink! It seems like a great place to also get work done/read a book, apart from just catching up with friends! read more

Super comfortable café and coffeeshop in Noho, tucked away on the North side of West Houston St on Crosby. With nice couches and chairs, large grand windows overlooking the street outside, and a clean, cozy environment, Café Lyria is a homey, welcoming spot steps away from the rush of Soho shopping, Noho studio gyms and restaurants, and more. Serving espresso beans from Passenger Coffee, and all milks including Oatly, I was served quickly by a friendly barista. It's not on a huge main thoroughfare, like Broadway or Lafayette, and therefore keeps just a little bit quieter than some other well-known or more conspicuous places down the street, which, for me, was perfect. read more

Small coffee shop but the interior and vibes are fantastic. Very green and eclectic with a mini tv playing nostalgic shows like Pokémon and dragon ball z. The atmosphere really adds to how much I like this place. I got their signature Lyria drink which is an iced drink with espresso mixed with Greek honey and oat milk. It was really really good, I love honey in my espresso and they did it really really well here! I have read a lot of reviews about it being extremely busy but that was not my experience. I walked in around 8:10 and ordered my coffee and had tons of options of where I wanted to sit and enjoy my book. read more

Super cool cafe right in the SoHo, NoHo area. I took my coffee to go but they had some pastries from other bakeries and lots of different seating options inside and a few tables outside. I had an iced cappuccino and while it was delish I was hoping it would look like the social media images with the fluffy ombré. Service was fast and friendly. read more
