Today's cafe - The Lost Draft. I was looking for a cafe with wifi while meeting up with my sister…read moresince she had an online meeting. Saw this place on Yelp w/ pictures of people on their laptop and glad I visited! The vibes in here are good. It's peaceful, with music playing pretty loudly that it drowns out the noise of people talking. There's a lot of seating and basically everyone that comes in here comes in to work on their laptop. Perfect for a hot day since they got the air conditioner blasting at a perfect temperature. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk. It was okay. I think it could use more matcha as it mostly tasted like oat milk. I also ordered a carrot cake muffin which was good, not too sweet. Service was quick. I could see myself coming here again to do work as there's not many cafes in the area that allow laptop work. I'll try the coffee drinks next time.

((4.75 stars)) if…read moreyou're in NoLita, have time, and in need of well-made coffee, then stop by % Arabica. i have been here a few times in the past and more often recently...it really depends on if i have things to do that involve traversing Prince Street. the airy coffee shop lets in a lot of natural light and has good lighting inside to keep the interior vibe bright, energetic, but not frenetic. the space exudes a clean modern aesthetic--off-white plus warm woods. a really good amount of seating in the forms of a large sofa area as well as the stools at the front windows. while the Arabica is often busy, the interior has that neat organized energy even with people milling about waiting for their coffee. while they do serve a small variety of baked items like croissants and brownies....the star is the menu of finely crafted coffee drinks. if you enjoy the flavor of coffee, order an espresso or Americano--the coffee doesn't miss. i believe it's a medium roast of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffee beans, but i think they have different bean choices or two if you prefer a different roast/blend. the Americanos, iced Americanos and espressos have a really satisfying flavorful coffee --kinda dark chocolatey, somewhat nutty, a low acidity, and almost a natural sweetness. really good stuff. the baristas here do not rush coffee drinks and that is a big reason why the drinks are consistently well-made beyond the talent of the staff. even when there is no line to the order counter, you'll often have a little wait because typically people sitting or standing around are all waiting for their orders. but the wait is worth it. trust. i will say the the folks typically taking orders feel a bit frosty and not authentic in interactions--just my read on the vibe. it's always a friendly veneer not a deep warmth especially if you have questions about the coffee roast or blend...maybe it's because lack of knowledge but often times it feels like they're distracted. but in their defense, everyone behind the counter seems to be doing 8 million things beyond a singular role which is a great and all, but I feel like this is why when i order let's say an "iced Americano"--the order will be inputted as a "hot Americano" as this happened the last time i was here. when i pointed this out, it still took a bit of time for my order to get corrected mainly because the counter person seemed to be doing too much or is tasked with doing too much. again, not a big deal but this is not the first time this happened. nonetheless, eventually i got my iced Americano and all was good. another snag ate % Arabica is the coffee condiment area. it's small and neatly arranged, but it ends up getting too crowded with people taking an exorbitant amount of time lallygagging while adding simple syrup or a lid to their coffees or the area is just too cramped because often the line to order snakes across this area which is only a couple of feet away. it's not the greatest placement for the condiments or lids imo. this can be (not always) be fairly frustrating when the shop is busy and you've already waited for you coffee and now you have to wait for someone to lacksadaisically pout a lid on their coffee, add sugar, their drink, etc. these are not reasons to avoid % Arabica, but to temper expectations when it comes to when it's busy or you want some down-to-earth hospitality along with your coffee. all that said, this is must for your morning or afternoon caffeine fix when you want a drink that is carefully made and represents that in the pleasant flavor of their coffee.

My friend tried the Orange Blossom latte, while I went for the Rose Water Latte with oat milk. And honestly, even the smell of the coffee being freshly ground was heavenly. You know a coffee shop is doing something right when the grinding beans are already part of the experience. My friend thought the orange flavor was a little too overpowering for her, so she switched to the mocha--which she absolutely loved! The staff was friendly, the coffee was delicious, and the space was calm and relaxing. Just a really nice place to slow down, sip your coffee, and catch up with a friend. Definitely adding this one to the "I'll be back" list.

For a hot day, I really enjoy their iced summer Americano. The lemon tartness complements the coffee for an overall balanced drink. SEATING AND AMBIANCE: There was no AC on when I was there, which wasn't much of an issue with the doors open. Several 2-seat tables, more secluded elevated nook, and communal seating. The space is designed around a feeling of calm: dark woods and white break and a touch of greenery to bring life to the open space.

Though I wish the baristas told me before I ordered that it was pretty tart and an acquired taste. I am sure I could have had something else if I really did not like it. I had a few sips and then could not finish it. The lattes looked good if I am ever back in the area I probably would go with this. This coffee shop is spacious but seems that it fills up quick with some seats all were taken when I was there. There is also no public restroom. Baristas were fine didn't really greet when I walked in just stood there and asked what I wanted. They were nice after I got my drink though.

And the lid you can close it if you want. I would come back here.
