Very chill cafe with plenty of yummy sweet options to indulge. I was welcomed by warm staff and got a couple of delicious chocolate croissants. They have indoor as well as outdoor seating. Loved the vibe!

Pistachio latte with soy milk
Jenny H.

I was looking for a place to hang out until the movies and found this cozy cafe. Upon entry is a long cozy cafe and you see before you a display of baked goods. The place was packed and do I would order then hope for a counter out table to be available. The line was short so I was able to quickly place my order, a pistachio latte with soy milk & a ham & cheese croissant. Just as I was passing, a couple left. Score! Got my small round table with seating. Within a few minutes my number was called and I went to pick up counter for my latte. Then heard nothing about my croissant. After I sat back down I waited for awhile and happen to see the cashier about the food she replies is on the pickup counter. Went and found nothing as she apologies and take it from the pro counter to pickup section. Little boo boo. The croissant was warm, melt with slight sweetness. Paired with the latte was perfect for a cold afternoon. The latte was smooth, not bitter and very enjoyable. Definitely coming back. Just hoping for no more mishaps. But great place to stop in.

At Charlotte Café once you walk into the space it has this warm inviting feel with such an elegant ambience the with beautiful Burgundy, red brick walls which elevates the space and has plenty of seating for all they have light bites but the best thing they offer is their delicious cappuccino. they're espresso is smooth yet bold and the staff was amazing. I met the owner and you can truly feel the authentic genuine love for the art of coffee and NYC. 10/10.

Raspberry Linzer

Meeting a friend for coffee, I asked her to suggest a place. This was a wonderful choice, a unique place these days, of a kind that once was ubiquitous. A coffee shop/bakery, with very good coffee. I didn't have a capp or latte, just plain coffee served in a china mug. Classy and fresh and delicious, neither too strong nor dishwater. Black and perfect. The selection of pastries is fabulous! I wanted to bring a treat home for my husband and after some deliberation, I chose the raspberry linzer. Beautiful and he was so pleased! My friend and I each chose a croissant, nothing fancy but it was straight from the oven and absolutely perfect! Crisp outside, buttery but not overwhelming inside. There are several charming and comfortable (for me) tables and chairs and there was no rush to leave. We lingered and chatted over our coffees and croissants for nearly an hour and a half. Almost every table was occupied. Order at the counter and you quickly get a tray to carry back to the table you chose ahead of time. We left our coats on the chairs. I can't wait for the next time a friend says let's meet for coffee! This is the perfect spot!

Let me preface this by saying that not all gems are where you expect them to be. Walking into Charlotte Cafe is like walking into an upscale coffee shop on 5th Ave where you'd expect it to be, but walk a little further and you'll find it on 2nd Ave. With its warm and, welcoming atmosphere, you can order one of their delicious lattes. They also have an array of baked items to choose from. I ordered their signature Mocha latte and a slice of the Iced Lemon cake. Walking towards the back for a seat, I couldn't help but notice how charming the decor is. It's like walking into a private study/library. I swear all they need is a fireplace and no one will ever leave. The staff is equally kind and friendly. I loved my latte and the cake was moist and delicious. They definitely live up to their name which is synonymous with sophistication, charm and warmth. Make your way for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Thank me later!

Well I might have just had the best chai latte in Newyork,... this year?? It's so hard to find and Gisela was amazing, paid attention to detail and caught a mistake her colleague had made by asking me if I wanted it 'Hot' to which I responded "no chilled". The chai latte/oat milk was tasteful, smooth and yummy. It's very difficult for me to find chai that makes me want to write a review and on the same day. I will definitely return.

Lots of seating and a decent place to chat with a friend or catch a break. I like that the seating is reasonably spaced out for New York.

Cappuccino and a slice of Marble cake was just what I wanted two weeks ago after seeing The Brutalist. After a long movie and much in need of refreshment before going to listen to jazz. Two locations of this cafe are in the City. I went to the one on Second Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets. This cafe is a welcome addition to this part of Murray Hill where there aren't many cafes. Potted plants make this cafe inviting. Bana gave me a slice of the cake and the barista made me a hot cappuccino. I sat at a table to eat leisurely. Several customers were either having something to drink or working on their laptops. The display cases held a variety of cakes and pastries along with large glass bottles with tempting cookies. Both cash and cards are accepted.

I spontaneously stopped by, since I had to walk like 10 blocks to pick up food in the area anyway. I wanted to power myself for the walk! I was greeted by the staff when I stepped to the counter, and the service was very friendly. Walking in, I also realized there was plenty of seating. One thing I appreciate was the complimentary slash of milk that was added to my freddo espresso. I took it to go, sipping it while I walked, and it was very refreshing. I would definitely return for the positive vibes if I'm ever back in the area!

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

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.

really expensive for how mediocre the bingsoo was. line goes out the door and takes forever, and…read moretheres not many options as they run out of items so quickly. i ordered the strawberry matcha bingsoo, and it was good but not great. the strawberries were some of the most sour of all time, and the main flavor of the bingsoo had no matcha present, and relied mostly on a strawberry jam that was poured across. it def tasted good but im confused what im paying for considering that im pouring the sauce over myself and its literally just strawberries and sugar over what im assuming is just a shaved block of frozen milk dusted with a pinch of matcha powder. the store is pretty though!
