A very solid 4.3 stars! Man, ppl were not exaggerating about this place being small. Legit only 1 table. lol..modern/clean/minimal clean vibes. I went on a specific mission for the banana pudding latte. I was prepared to be let down & say eff these influencers. First, banana flavored items tend to be so artificial tasting! Yuck. Second, I was adding an extra shot. A lot of places mess this up & it tends to lose flavor of the original drink. Needless to say, I expressed this to the guy on register. He (gay guy) asks the barista (maybe Latina w/black hair) about my request & she says of course, no problem. Let me mind you this was over $13...damn near sweating for 3min waiting. I take a sip,...whyyyyy God ?! It was soooo GOOD. But that price tag..it hurts a little...I will DEF go back when I want to treat myself. The guy on register was joking saying all 3 were the starting 3 of the Knicks in coffee. Great & friendly customer service. They def felt my vibe! Praying it's consistently this good for future visits. Highly recommend for your delicious banana needs (since that's all the can vouch for).
The pistachio foam latte was pretty good, but definitely very pricey - $10 for a pretty standard latte. There's also only one small table inside with two chairs, pretty much no indoor seating. They do have a nice cement thing right outside with some seating and 3 tables for Foreigner customers only - great if the weather is nice outside. The service was pretty standard.
I didn't know this existed so close to my office until I saw some IG Foodie account post about it! It's a little pricey depending on what you order but that's just NYC specialty coffee for ya. I've been here twice now and have tried the Creme Brûlée latte and the Banana pudding latte. It also helps that the baristas are super nice and know how to make these drinks fast!
Here's the thing, this place gives off snooty cafe in the best way possible. Inside is stone and glass. The baristas talk to you in monotone, there's a few fancy specials on the wall and that's it. And I love it. I ended up ordering the Crème Brulatte and although pricey, it definitely is as described. It's a not too sweet latte with a thick, custard cold foam and complete with torched sugar. An absolute mess to drink, but well worth the trek!
Delicious, authentic and great quality ! Small hole in the wall cafe. Fast service. Great spot for a quick pick-me-up! They also have some pastries as well
I've had this coffee shop on my list based on previous social media posts. It's a small open space with outdoor bench like seating with one table inside. I went around 12pm lunch time and there was quite a crowd. I always ask the cashier their best + favorite drink and was sold on the cloud latte.
I had the BEST hot strawberry matcha latte here. I made the mistake of not drinking water for several hours after I had it so I couldn't fall asleep for an hour but lesson learned. I would 100% go back to get this again. I always get an iced version because the idea of strawberries in a hot drink doesn't sound appealing, but the flavor of this was incredible!!! It's quite small inside but there was one table for two that was free. There's also baked goods available although I didn't try any.
Tried the famous creme brûlée latte and it was good! The custard on top is what makes it delicious. It needs to be mixed well to enjoy it without being too bitter. It's a small space so very minimal seating. Definitely not a space to work in. Ordering was easy and our drinks came shortly after. I'd definitely come back and get this drink again!
Saw several people on social media really enjoy Foreigner & claiming it is the best coffee in New York. The jury is still out on this one for me. I got one of the specialty lattes (baklava latte) and it really did not have any resemblance to baklava to me. None of the notes came through. Wasn't bad and would give it another shot if I'm in the neighborhood.
Went to try the maple sea salt latte and is pretty good!! $9.25 . ..Will come back try the cream brûlée latte
It's hard not to spot the small details that make this place special. Whether you're in a rush or looking to lounge around the area, expect to be transported into the ambiance Foreigner provides. The drinks are top tier and when indecisive, the staff is equipped to help. It's relaxed, smooth, and is designed to leave you wanting more.

Had the famous Crème Brûlée Coffee at this Cafe, and it was absolutely worth the hype! The coffee was rich, creamy, and incredibly delicious. The brûléed sugar topping added the perfect sweetness and made it feel like a dessert and coffee all in one. Every sip was super yummy. The only thing I found a little strange was that they torch the sugar on top while it's in a plastic cup, but honestly, the taste was so good that I forgot about it pretty quickly, also thats the only way to do it so yeah. If you're in New York and love coffee, definitely give it a try! read more
known for their viral creme brulatte so I had to try it. it was cool how they made the drink in front of you and kept stacking layers of sugar and cream. service was a bit slow though the drink itself was balanced and not too sweet. however I don't think it's worth the strep price ($12) read more
Creme brûlée has long been one of my favorite desserts, so I was super excited to try the iced creme brulatte here. It was really good (though at $13 and change it was probably a one-and-done experience for me). The little caramelized bits of sugar on top are so tasty! The latte itself isn't really sweetened, but I mixed the mascarpone topping into the rest of the drink, which gave it some sweetness and a thicker, more velvety texture. I came on a weekday afternoon and there were some customers waiting for drinks, but there was almost no line. The interior is small and it's a little tricky to find a place to stand while you're waiting. There's also only one table inside, but there is a large concrete slab that people can sit on outside if it's nice out. 3.5 stars rounded up. read more

I ordered the cloud latte and thought it was a solid 8/10. The staff there is super friendly and makes the coffee shop feel inviting. I will definitely be coming back to try their other flavors! read more

((4.25 stars)) a very small coffee shop located on the edge of the Flatiron District. modern space, not much seating inside aside from the couple of seats near the window. most of the coffee shop is the coffee bar. Foreigner offers a menu of specialty coffee drinks along with more standard coffee & tea drinks. thought the Espresso Spritz is a fun cooling coffee drink during warm weather. most other times, i have ordered an Americano which was always solidly made. this coffee spot is very much a grab and go but it works in an area populated with so many businesses around it. read more

Came across this coffee shop in thanks to tik tok. It is also a photo studio in the back I believe. It's a very small coffee shop with one table and like 2-3 bar stools. There are also two wooden chairs outside to enjoy your coffee in. Very clean and nice presentations of what they offered. I wanted to try one of their special drinks which was the Crème brûlée latte. In the pictures I have seen online and social media it looked awesome. I knew going into it that this drink was crazy pricy! $13.00 + tip! The most I have ever spent on an iced latte. I was hoping it would be like the BEST iced latte I have ever tasted. Well I was wrong! I was disappointed too. Not sure if the one person that was there when I was there is always there but I wish he could have put more fire on the Mascarpone to make it more like hard and crispy burnt tasting. The person was nice don't get me wrong. But not sure if there are other people who work here who would have made it differently. I also think there was a bit too much Mascarpone. I added cinnamon to it too to see if it would help the taste. There are other specialty drinks here I would like to try, so I hope to get back here soon. read more

Came across this coffee shop from how viral it went on tik tok. The space itself pretty small, cozy, and minimalist. I wanted to try the Crème brûlée latte of course since all the videos and pictures on social media looked amazing. It was good, but not $13 good. For that price I expect it to be life changing/the best latte I've ever had, which it wasn't. The baristas were nice though, and service was quick. Unfortunately at this price point and average taste, I don't see myself returning to try their other items read more

This review is a bit overdue and I finally got my hands to write it. My friend and I popped in to try a crème brûlée latte(?) that was all over both of our for you page on well know social media app. So since people were raving about it at the time, we had to try. The drink itself was more or less "expectation/reality" meme. It was made in a rush and barista did not seem thrilled to having to make it. It tasted just.....okay? The top was barely toasted so it was essentially just a latte with extra thicc (with two "c"s) cream on top. My friend got a Vietnamese cortado (?? May remember the name of this drink wrong, it's been a while). She was disappointed with it for both the taste and presentation. She was hoping to have it served the same was as in picture inside the cafe. The seating situation is not great. There's one small table in the corner, and a couple of counter seats, but that's about it. So definitely not the kind of place you'd want to sit down at and share a drink with someone and catch up. read more
Walking in i did not know what to expect but by my surprise the service was amazing my drink was fabulous and i was able to catch up with a friend i cant wait to return. Thanks for the great service p.s and it was my birthday and it started off so perfect read more

Ordered the crème brûlée latte and honestly it was delicious. The brûléed sugar topping was to die for and really made it. My only complaint is the price... $13 for one drink is kind of wild. Really good, but probably more of an occasional splurge than an everyday coffee run. read more

Great coffee I wish it was more space to seat down but overall it's nice. I got the cloud latte read more
Cute little spot in Chelsea! Ordered the creme brulee drink (beware it's $12!) I shokdlve asked for the price before ordering haha but it was good! The creme brulee foam was and the hardened sugar really hit with the iced latte! There's one small table and 2 bar seats inside, so if you're not there early there may not be seats available! read more
I walked into this shop kinda randomly as I was walking by searching for a place to eat. Coffee sounded good so I stepped inside to see if I can get something to keep my search going. Workers were nice. I ordered, minutes later it was ready. It's a small shop with like one table and a couple of stools which isn't so bad. My gripe was that I ordered the hanoi aroma as it was the advertised specialty drink by their menu. It's double the cost of their other drink because it was one of their signature items. I figured that should be good especially for the price. I wanted something to really get a taste of how this shop is. To my discovery it was just a regular iced coffee, idk why I expected different as they do show what it is in the small poster. But I was just disappointed. To top it off it made my throat feel a little scratchy. I am not sure why as I don't have any allergies. They do have these biodegradable straws available that I gave a try so maybe that's something I shouldn't have taken. The kind of lids they have for the plastic cups are the kind meant to pour out but also a straw hole. That's actually kind of cool to offer both in one but maybe I shouldnt have taken their straw. I am not sure if I'd come back just because I felt dissapointed by what I had. Overall it's just a normal coffee shop so maybe other people would have better experiences read more

Foreigner is definitely a hidden gem of coffeeshops in NYC. Located in the Flatiron district and Chelsea, Foreigner is both a coffeeshop and a photography/film studio (available for rent on their site). The interior is chic and minimalist black. Coffee is great and the price tag is comparable to others as they are a specialty coffeeshop that also has various seasonal lattes such as the Hanoi, a condensed espresso concoction similar to a càphê sửa nóng (not sure if they make a cold version). I've come here several times whenever I'm in the area for some good black espresso and the occasional latte which is convenient. The seating is not ideal for groups if you plan to stay inside as there is one two seater table and two bar seats by the window. They did expand their outdoor seating into a unique setup that I've never seen any other coffeeshop do. Overall, if you're looking for good strong coffee made with quality beans, this place is my recommended stop. They also sell their own nice smelling candles and have pastries from La Carbra. They've been open post-pandemic. No bathrooms. Small shop. Not ideal for working. Indoor/outdoor seating available and take out. Drink up! read more

Possibly the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC... I can't believe it. I have a sweet tooth so I've tried probably all the popular cookies at least in Manhattan and this one was a total surprise and blew me away. It is baked perfectly - firmer on the edges and softer towards the center, incredible flavor with hints of caramel / toffee, and the perfect amount of sea salt. The baklava latte was also great and they have Nekohama matcha chocolate bars. The chocolate bar was also great but not cheap ($18) - good matcha flavor, smooth, and small croissant bits. I will definitely go back!! Very small location with 1 two-person table, 2 counter seats, and 2 seats outside. Super fast and nice service. read more

The Hanoi ... something... special drink right now is amazing. It's like a Vietnamese coffee but not as sweet. Espresso is smooth not sour or burnt. Love the outdoor space. It's a hidden gem and I kinda wanna gatekeep this spot but it's too good not to share. The outdoor seating design def seats more ppl than standard table and chairs. read more

I recently tried the Foreigner popup location in SoHo and had a nice oat cappuccino. Their service was fast and my barista was very friendly and nice. The inside of this popup space was huge! There was also plenty of seating. Foreigner is currently doing a popup in the Shopify event space and giving out free coffees till the end of January. Given that the coffee was free, I was surprised it wasn't really that busy. I work nearby so I stoped in around 9:30am before getting into the office and there was no wait and only a handful of people inside. Still, I'm happy to come back and try more coffee and maybe even a pastry next time before the popup ends. I also look forward to visiting their permanent location (it's just a bit too far for a before work kinda of coffee stop) read more
It's a beautiful coffee shop, but the coffee itself leaves much to be desired. The staff is moody and just unfriendly...doesn't feel welcoming at all. Also they are always out of something, like oat milk at 11am on Saturday?! How is that even possible in todays time? Very IG friendly, but there are a ton of better coffee shops in the neighborhood. read more
Interesting concept! I needed caffeine and went here. I wanted cold brew ($5) which they didn't have at 3PM? I ended up being steered toward an iced americano ($3.50). Not bad, but I wish they would have more drinks in stock. The guy working there was one of those people you can tell are chill. Would come back when I can actually try the cold brew. read more
ive been wanting to try this place for a while now!! it's a solid cafe and the americano was really good :) the only thing is that the space itself is pretty small, and there's not much seating besides a two seater table and a little like standing bar? but they have seats outside too! read more
