Great coffee and super friendly staff. Great vibes /decor. Great food (fluffy scrambled eggs). Highly recommended. I do appreciate their no laptop policies on the weekends so that you can actually hang out with a friend or read a book if you want to hang out there. This is last comment is not about the restaurant but more about folks who have pets who bring them in and sit with their dogs in a cramped cafe when the sign out front says "NO PETS". Please don't bring your dog/fluffy companion and respect the proprietors' wishes. read more

I needed an afternoon pick me up so found this place on Maps. You have to go up some steps. There are some tables at the front. It was kinda hot inside (felt much better outside tbh). I got an iced strawberry matcha with whole milk and it was really good! You definitely need to mix it up otherwise your first sip is just matcha. There are 2 single stall bathrooms. They have more tables/seating in the back but it was closed after 1 pm on weekends? It also seems to be connected to the Thai restaurant next door. read more

My favorite coffee shop on the UWS. Terrific coffee, macha and croffles!! My only gripe is the WiFi - it either doesn't work at all for me when connecting on my laptop or it disconnects me every 5-10 minutes. Please get a stronger booster!! read more

I was in the area with my daughter. She got coffee somewhere else and I walked extra to get to Frame. I did this because the Yelp menu photos included pour over coffee. They no longer have pour over coffee. I take the blame on that, I should have looked at their website. Otherwise, staff is pleasant. Place is modern and clean. Seating and bathroom were nice. Cold brew was smooth and tasty. read more

Frame Coffee - Tasty Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My bf and I stopped by Frame Coffee for a late breakfast as we happened to be on UES. We got the egg and cheese croffle sandwich, sesame croffle (not pictured), Americano, and matcha latte. The eggs were very fluffy and not oily at all. I didn't like the texture of the croffle that much. The drinks were solid. The matcha latte was smooth with a slight earthy taste. The cafe is very spacious compared to other coffee shops in the city, so it wasn't too hard to find a table despite it being fairly busy. There is also a mini Photo Booth where you can get a B&W photo printouts which is a cute touch! read more

Frame Coffee - Egg and Cheese Croffle Sandwich, Hot Matcha Latte, Hot Americano - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This seemed liked a popular spot to do work/study. There were a lot of people on laptops, so there were not many empty seats left. The space is small, so it felt especially claustrophobic near the door where there is also a camera that prints black and white photos! They have an extensive drink menu as well as lots of food options. I had a matcha latte that was just whatever. My friend's cold brew coffee was much better. I would stick to the coffee here. Free wifi. Bathroom is small af. Pro tip: try the pizza next door. read more

A little crowded but nothing crazy service was quick and knowledgeable about the area

Delicious croffle! The chai was tasty- well spiced. I'm not the biggest fan of chai but this was solid. Not too sweet and well balanced flavors. I loved the croffle! I would come here for the croffle alone! Delicious. A slightly crisp outside and soft interior. Buttery and delicious! Not too sweet either! Perfectly acceptable as a breakfast food. Would highly recommend! Seating was a bit hard to find but me and my sister were able to snag a table after waiting a little bit for our drink. We were right by the door and it was a bit drafty. I will definitely be returning to try their coffee and croffle sandwiches! read more

Great coffee! I really enjoyed my cortado and felt it was well worth the roughly $5. The shop is well decorated with an elegant atmosphere. I appreciated the staff's choice of a calm jazz playlist, which went a long way in making the space feel atmospheric and cozy. Baristas are very friendly and wait time was short. The shop is clearly popular, as seats fill up quickly, but there are still a large number of tables for the space. There's a no laptop policy on weekends, though when I visited on Sunday morning it wasn't being enforced, which was mildly frustrating. There were only three people were behind the counter, though, and they had a steady stream of customers to help- I'm sure they can't catch everything. Regardless, I enjoyed my coffee here with a friend and will be back! read more

It's fine. Or should I say, it's frame? Nothing really memorable about this place from the experience to the staff. We stopped by on a Saturday morning so no spots to sit but the maple latte I got tasted good but a few days later, I had to look at my receipt to see what I ordered. Good if you're in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip. read more

Cozy interior with a good amount of seating. I met my friend here around 9am on a chilly Sunday morning and had our pick of tables, but that didn't stop it from getting super busy later on. I got the Choco Matcha Latte, which was really enjoyable and unique. I appreciated the no laptop policy for weekends. There's also a small bathroom. Would definitely come back! read more

Frame Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Big prices, little seats! This is a very interesting place. The back seating area was blocked off and the chairs and tables that were available were very tiny (it felt as though I was at the kid's table during Thanksgiving) and is not appropriate for individuals with disabilities. The tea that I ordered was 6 bucks for a small tea so the prices were egregious. There are definitely better spots in the area to go that are much more cost friendly (and adult-booty friendly). read more

Service: 3.5/5 Food: 3.8/5 Price: $4-$8 Came here for a little caffeine fix + a hot drink to warm my hands. They manage to squeeze ~6 tables into this small shop with more seating in a shared back section. Lots of outlets, ideal for co-working, but no laptops on weekends + the back is taken over by the restaurant next-door after 1PM. Decor-wise they lean into the photography theme with lots of film cameras as a wall display + even have a free instant camera setup. They have a pretty standard coffee fare + a couple of Matcha lattes. What I Ordered: - Matcha Americano: pretty fresh, slightly bitter, not astringent, I like it read more

This was my first time at this coffee shop. The store was extremely crowded on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered a matcha latte and it came out quickly. It tasted really good. The cafe was pretty loud due to how crowded it was, but I would sit here to catch up with friends if there were seats available. read more

Super cute coffee shop! They have a little camera you can take a pic on and put it on their picture wall. I love a coffee shop that has specialty coffees, my friend got the brown sugar latte was so sooo good & I had a nice dirty chai. It's a tight space but there's a decent amount of seating if you're trying to hang w a friend or get a little work done. I didn't try any food but they had some really good looking waffles. read more

Whoa. Possibly one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. My goodness, the flavor was on point! Whatever magician makes their beans and whatever craftsmen makes their espresso machine, I hope their families are blessed with abundance. Are you going here for the space? It's small. Are you going for the coffee and great service? You will be happy. read more

Deliciously roasted coffee beans!! En Yew coffee and cappuccinos were perfect!! Bold but not too harsh with bitterness. Quick service & cute atmosphere, cozy. Their Waffles are the best I've ever had too!! I was impressed!! So impressed that I forgot to take a picture! read more

My absolutely favorite new coffee spot everyone is so nice in there, never have waited too long for my drink. Love the vibes too and the cute little Photo Booth! I have only tried their ham croffle sandwich and it was greasy but yummy. read more

I had never had a croffle before visiting Frame, I have since tried them elsewhere as Frame got me hooked, but I can say theirs is the best one I've had so far! I got one plain and one with egg and cheese, both were divine. Also recommend the summer iced teas. Cute place for a coffee date or to get some work done! read more

Frame is a hidden pocket of quietness in the city. I loved the vibe--split level with the jointly owned restaurant next door. Both Thai establishments. Coffee was lovely. Lattes were prepared with simplistic graceful flavor. The ambiance was so warm and cozy. Go here with a lived one or good friend you can sit close to . (We were at Levain bakery and their espresso machine was down so they recommend Frame!) Another review giving it to you straight no chaser! Enjoy! read more

Tried out their Thai style coffee (Es Yen) which was a double espresso with condensed milk. A little on the sweet side with the condensed milk but a pretty unique coffee! It was definitely on the pricier side though, after tip and tax it was over $7 for a coffee. A cute thing about this location is they have a cute little photo print out screen that allows you to get a black and white print out of a photo you take! read more

Frame Coffee - Es yen (Thai style) coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I stopped by Frame Coffee on a Sunday morning and it was pretty busy, but the energy was great. The coffee I ordered was smooth and flavorful. I do wish I had been asked if I wanted it to stay or to-go so I could've enjoyed it in a mug, but honestly, it still tasted great, so no major complaints. The theme of the café is what really sets this place apart. It's stylish, well-curated, and the Photo Booth is such a beautiful touch--it adds a fun, creative element that really ties into the whole "frames" concept. read more

~ Brown Cinnamon Latte $7 ~ [Rating: 4/5] The latte is nice and smooth, but the espresso flavor doesn't come through strongly. Lightly sweetened with caramel, it's topped with decadent whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. Overall, it was a really pleasant drink! ~ Shrimp Chilli Paste w/ Pork Floss Croffle $6 ~ [Rating: 4/5] The croffle is warm and comforting, but it was slightly denser than what I'm used to and could be crisper and flakier. The combination of sweet chili paste and pork floss is delightful, offering a great mix of sweet and savory flavors! - - - - - - - - Will I be back? Yes Want to visit the UES location to try other drinks and the croffle with gjetost cheese and ice cream! read more

Frame Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Such a cute cafe located in the Upper West Side! I popped in after taking a walk in Central Park and was really pleasantly surprised. The exposed brick walls, wooden decor, and cameras make the space feel really inviting and cozy. The front area of the cafe is also very well-lit with natural light. This is also a perfect work from home spot. They have outlets everywhere, free Wi-Fi, and a bathroom. I got an Iced Butterscotch Latte (7.5/10): I thought it was a solid latte. The butterscotch flavor is pretty subtle and it's not terribly sweet. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! The coffee is delicious and the food looks tasty too. The baristas are really kind and welcoming and the inside is cozy and warm... the perfect spot to sit for a while and chat with a friend! read more

My friend and I got a butterscotch latte with oat milk and the maple latte with oat milk. Both were pretty decent! You could taste the flavor in both but the espresso was definitely lacking. If you're not a sweet coffee drinker, I would avoid them. The price for each drink was $5.75 with a $0.90 milk substitution. Considering this is the UWS, the price isn't bad either. The inside has a few tables near the door but otherwise it's pretty narrow inside so I wouldn't recommend hanging out here. Overall, pretty good speciality lattes! I probably wouldn't come here otherwise though. read more

Unfortunate first experience. They are not equipped to handle the morning rush or the rush of people wanting to welcome them in the neighborhood. From getting in line to getting my latte it took 30 minutes. I ordered a butterscotch latte. It's a good latte, not much butterscotch flavor. They have decaf espresso but it's $0.50 charge. Not sure if they also charge more if you get different type of milk rather than whole, ie oat milk. Next time I'll go back when I don't see much of line! I still would like to try a croffle. I think they were only making the plain ones because it was so busy! read more

Came by for a quick caffeine fix after a long day. You pay at the counter but the seating area was extremely limited as the back half was blocked off for a different restaurant seating. The sign said that they do that on the weekends only. And the few tables they had in the front were all occupied. The baristas were super nice and efficient. I had an iced matcha americano, it was a little bitter and don't think I'll be back for it. 3/5 My friend had a vanilla latte with oat milk that they enjoyed. 5/5 read more

Great spot to catch a quick morning bite and drink. I ended up here because I need to jump on a call before an appt. It's small but loud. So if you're looking for a cozy cafe this isn't it. I ordered a chai latte and smoked ham and then I added an egg on a croffle (mashup btwn waffle and croissant) The chai was less than desirable; It was not layered w/ chai spices and lacked sweetness. Once I added sugar it was tolerable. As for the sandwich.... Oooooooo that was DELICIOUS! The pesto, and mozzarella was the perfect combo to take a basic ham and egg to the next level! They did this RIGHT! I would go back just for the sandwich. If you're in the area...swing by, take a break and try their croffle read more

Frame Coffee - Smoked Ham - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

great little coffee shop with some specialty lattes -- i got the es-yen (thai style) coffee (from the description, double espresso with condensed milk) which was delicious. not overtly sweet but enough from the condensed milk that i didn't have to add anything from the condiment bar by the register. super pleasant taste without compromising on the caffeine. place itself is cute -- definitely a good flow of people coming in and out, and they have a back seating section where some customers can sit and get some work done or just chill for a bit. would love to make this a regular outing whenever i'm in the area! read more

I've been here a few times now, I love the cozy vibe inside, there's plenty of seating even in such a small place, & they have a unique food menu that makes the experience fun. Baristas have always been nice every time I'm in! read more

My friend and I were wandering along Amsterdam looking for a coffee shop, when I spotted Frame and remembered adding it to my shortlist of cafes to try. It's in a cool building and pretty discreet - it's after a long set of stairs. Inside, we were so surprised by how cute and cool it was! A super clean, eclectic little shop with plenty of seating, it felt very warm and inviting. Our drinks: Butterscotch latte, iced ($6.25) - YUM! This was perfect. I did ask for it to be a little less sweet and that was absolutely the right move as it was super sweet. I loved this - 5/5 Hot mocha w oat milk and cappuccino foam ($6.25) - my friend said hers was just ok. Service was very friendly and accommodating and I would definitely return! read more

Super cute Thai-inspired coffee shop in the UWS! It shares space with Sala Thai next door, so I think the seating situation is much more cramped on the weekend. The inside is so cute, and has a photo machine (was partially broken but still cute). The drinks are delicious, and baristas are friendly and helpful. The butterscotch and maple lattes are amazing! If you like fun flavored drinks this is a great spot. read more

One of the cutest coffee shops I ever did see! I ordered an iced butterscotch latte that was very good and not too sweet. I also ordered an egg, cheese and mayo on a waffle/croissant hybrid. The croffle slightly crunchy and sweet mixed with the egg, cheese and mayo was bomb. The food is made to order so it's fresh. Service was efficient and the shop itself is bright and cozy with a good amount of seating. read more

Such unique Thai cafe! Wish I knew about this place sooner because I'm a fan of the orange espresso drink - I know it sounds odd but it's so refreshing. There's seating inside and it's connected to the Thai restaurant next door. Additionally there's a camera set up by the door you can take a pic at that will print a black/white photo on a small sheet of paper. Service was super fast too! read more

Can't say enough great things at Frame. The decor, the service and my coffee!!! I got to talk to the one of the girls at the cashier register and she told me all about how the owner got all the cameras from Taiwan. For New York it was pretty spacious had a few tables, enough space to do study or do work for a few hours. I can't wait to come back, I only stayed for a little bit as I had an appt but it's totally a place to sit for a while. read more
