Whenever I am in the city, I try to hit up a new coffee spot. While searching for one on the Yelp…read moreapp, Felix Roasting's caught my attention. Interior is posh and bougie with English touches. Seating is all up against the walls. Kinda odd how they decided to leave lots of empty spaces in the middle but it works. I ordered the Hickory Smoked S'mores Latte...$15 (house-made graham cracker milk with a charred vanilla marshmallow). This drink comes with a show. Lol. I liked that they called my name to the counter so I could film the barista smoke my latte with hickory in the cloche. The purpose of doing it this way is that it gives it a bolder, richer, and savory aroma. The drink was delicious especially with that gooey s'mores on top. The pastries looked yummy but I decided not to get any since I was headed to lunch. If you go on their website, you can sign up to receive 10% off your first order. Wished I had known about this earlier. Service is super friendly.

It has stunning interiors, artistic details, and specialty coffee program, which have made it one of New York City's most photographed cafés. The space is elegant, cozy, and full of character, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a memorable experience. Their focus on high-quality coffee, house-made ingredients, and unique drinks helps set them apart from many other cafés in the city. Along with expertly crafted espresso drinks, you'll find specialty beverages, pastries, and seasonal creations that are as visually impressive as they are delicious.

I'm glad she doesn't read my reviews. I disagree. Cookies on the website look fabulous. "Ooey - gooey," it says. Mine wasn't. It was sort of dry. Tonight I'll stick what remains in the toaster oven to see if that helps. Nothing to lose.... Edited Update: This is a cookie that should NOT be eaten cold. A couple of minutes in the oven makes a world of difference. Microwave is a no-no.

They added sugar automatically, which I didn't mind since I usually take a little anyway, but it was a bit unexpected. Not a dealbreaker, just something worth noting. The vibe was great! clean, relaxed, and importantly not overrun with laptops, if you know what I mean. That alone makes it stand out a bit in Manhattan. I usually don't love some of the more pretentious coffee spots in the area, but this one surprised me. I'd definitely consider coming back.

It was absolutely divine--perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and easily one of the better vanilla lattes I've had. You can really taste the difference when the syrup is made in-house. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they only offer one size. When the coffee is that good, I don't want to be limited--I want the option to supersize my happiness. I'll definitely be back... and I'll continue hoping they eventually give us a bigger cup!

The space is pick up only, and although they do have some aesthetically pleasing coffee fare with homemade ingredients, the peanut butter latte didn't even have a hint of peanut butter after the first sip. The first sip took me to heaven with its taste. The next one left me on the earth for the rapture. For such a nice drink that was crafted with care, I at least expected the flavor to be advertised. On the other hand, the staff is quite nice and quick with their service. But maybe choose another place for your coffee fare.

The guava jam was delicious and sweet. I also tried a standard latte, which was very good: nutty with some toasted marshmallow notes. There was a long line on a Saturday around 11, and tables were hard to come by, but if you get lucky you can snag one. It feels a bit crowded since the line forms between two rows of tables and customers also leave between two rows. So it's a nice place to sit for a while if you can, but maybe not the most comfortable environment to sit and work. It is a beautiful space, though.
