Delicious espresso and Ube latte made fast and fresh to order! This cute little shop is located in Hell's Kitchen and has a few seating options in a cozy atmosphere but we saw plenty of people grab their coffee to go. We also had their croissant sandwiches and both were delicious, served warmed. Thanks for a lovely morning! read more

Great tasting coffee, cool vibes and attentive staff. Small coffee shop but they have sufficient options to satisfy most needs. Nestled close to time square but far enough to not feel gimicky and cater to locals. read more

Frisson Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Low stars because the coffee I got here was kind of burnt. Might have been a bad day but also the croissants I got weren't fresh and pretty plain. I got a latte with one pump of lavendar syrup (+75 cents). It was super subtle so I asked for another pump and was asked to pay another 75 cents. Makes sense I guess but most coffee shops I've been to have made minor adjustments to my drink for free. read more

This is my second time trying our Frisson and both times have been pretty great. To my knowledge, this is probably the best espresso around the broadway area. If you're going to see a show and need a little pick-me-up before going to the theatre, this is close enough to walk to. read more

Cute coffee shop with a variety of coffee options! There's also a good number of pastries/cookies as well along with outlets. There's also is limited seating indoors, so I wouldn't recommend bringing large parties. I ordered the iced americano and it was good! I recommend stopping by for a quick coffee. read more

Ten years later, and I still stop by Frisson for my daily[1] cortado. (And sometimes for a pastry.) This is a coffee shop I'm loyal to, and they've earned it through tasty coffee and solid customer service. Here's to ten years of Frisson Espresso, and to ten more! [1] That is, when I'm in the neighborhood, since I don't live in Hell's Kitchen anymore (as of press time). Even though I'm an irregular regular, their staff somehow remembers me. read more

Never been but it was around the block from our hotel and I was already packed and ready to return home in SoCal. For me, a perfect latte with the most amazing foam illustration. The single barista even let me videotape her while she "created". read more

Great location for coffee and snacks near Times Square... since it's between 8-9th, it feels gloriously removed from the crowds. Charming, small, cozy with some seating (we didn't have a problem securing seats, but maybe that's because Saturday matinees were in progress, meaning maybe the timing was in our favor). Great hot chocolate! Will be back. Note: some of their locations are not properly tagged in maps app including this location. read more

The coffee was pretty good, but the baristas were so sweet! One of them went out of their way to make me a seahorse in my milk even though I was getting it to go. I can't wait to visit and go back! read more

Great service from Frisson and lots of amazing pictures to look at on the walls. The location is very convenient, though the place is pretty tiny and more suited for grab and go than sitting, the seating is very limited. The cappuccino was good, though my friend who had a vanilla latte was not impressed, nor was I when I tried it. read more

If you're a devoted fan of Dunkins or Starbucks,this isn't for you. Frisson Espresso -like most other coffee roasters - are for true coffee afficionados. It's small,tucked away from the city's hustle & bustle, appears to be family owned and only known for locals (I didn't meet a single tourist when inside),There was a long line of folks waiting for their cup of coffee,but thanks to very quick service it was moving rapidly. Coffee is perfectly balanced,just the way I like it (light/medium roast blends available in freshly roasted bean bags for purchase,too). One of a few places selling canneles (not cannolis), which made me super happy! Despite small size,inside and outside looks very cozy and inviting! read more

Cute, small on side street in the Broadway area. Nice people, fast service. We went there post meal and pre show. I think it's a little funkier than Dunkin or Starbucks which are both in the area. We did try a pastry it was a tiny bit stale. But still tasted good. The coffees were good - not as strong / burnt Starbucks. I'd go again. read more

The coffee was excellent and so was the service, pretty cool little shop. The atmosphere was very upbeat.

Looked promising. Pretty big letdown for somewhere that has espresso in its name. My boyfriend's coffee was just ok. I ordered a drink with oat milk in it and the girl used regular milk. It was clearly printed on my receipt. I had to point it out to her. read more

Came on a Saturday morning. The coffee was as good as it gets. The barista Alex and cashier Kaleb were extremely friendly. Wherever I travel I try to find the best coffee option around, and this is definitely the best in this part of NYC. read more

Very small quaint coffee shop. Service was amazing. My espresso macchiato was fantastic. Not an espresso macchiato like you think of that Starbucks has not a giant coffee with sugar. It's just a little shot with some cream. So good. Soft music playing. They have some great food options too. Acai bowls and amazing overnight oats with heavy cinnamon and bananas no dairy almond milk, no sugar. read more

One of the best coffee and overall experiences I had in NYC. This is one of the very few that lived up to the hype and exceeded expectations. I was very pleased. Found them on Yelp - closeby - was looking for some really good coffee. It's a small quaint place. The staff here were very effervescent. Full of energy, very positive. I couldn't make a decision so they helped me out - he's the barista and an artist too - he recommended a Flat White with Oat and sugar free vanilla. Yes! That cup of Flat White Sugar Free Vanilla w/ Oat Milk was the best damn cup of coffee I've had since I could remember. It was just so robust and full of flavor. I loved the depth of their coffee, so smooth, nice strong notes, and I could drink this forever! It was so darn good I got another one to go. The croissants ham n cheese look so good, and so do their sweets and pastries - wow. This place left an impression on me so when I traveled back to NYC the following week I made it a priority to make it back there - and had another great experience. Again I ordered one there and another to go since it was so good and bought some of their expresso beans too. A very pleasant and nice place, with excellent coffee and customer service. I will definitely be back here - - excellent job! read more

Was in desperate need of a hot coffee and stumbled upon this wonderful little neighborhood coffee shop. I decided to get a hot mocha with oat milk and it was perfect, not too strong not too sweet. Just smooth and really lovely. I also got a canele which is the first I've ever had in my life and I had to google search what it was exactly. I have nothing else to compare it to but I can say that I really enjoyed it. It was spongey and moist and had a delicious custardy filling. Highly recommend. read more

Ordered through Grubhub on Amazon app from Frisson Espresso 44. And confusingly, Frisson Espresso 44 not appear in a Yelp search, but Frisson Espresso does (also, does anyone know how to leave a detailed review on Grubhub itself? I looked, but in my uncaffeinated and unfed state, I just couldn't find it, assuming it's there). The delivery was right on time. I was so excited when the bag felt warm. Such promise! I didn't even mind that the iced mocha had leaked a little or that the bag left wet, coffee-y patches on my shirt and arm. Then the letdown, and what a letdown it was. Or rather, what letdowns they were. I asked for sugar, so I don't know why they gave me Splenda. If they are going to throw in random stuff, why not throw in all the different sweeteners? And something to stir with? Apparently requesting utensils and napkins doesn't count...this isn't a big deal if you're home but a little trickier to rectify if you're staying in a hotel and your room doesn't have a coffee machine (and you discover the deficiencies after you get back to your room). I had to raid the hotel tissue box to clean up the ice coffee from various surfaces. Pain au chocolat was so dry, it was inedible. I tried to eat it with a sip of of latte, hoping maybe the two would somehow complement each other. Nope. Just go to Bourke St Bakery instead. Or try another place. Save your money and skip the pastries here. I didn't get the chocolate chip cookie I ordered - instead, another pain au chocolate. Did I mention it was inedible? But based on the pastries, maybe it wouldn't have been any good either? (In which case It wouldn't matter, but we'll never know...) The Kouignn Aman was also really dry. Does the picture look like buttery goodness to anyone? It was more like a really doughy palmier cookie. So I am really disappointed because based on the reviews, I expected something good. Also? $7 for a kouign aman? It should have been epic. We'll I guess it was - an epic FAIL. The ice mocha was drinkable. 1/6 read more

I am so happy I stumbled onto this place. The service was great, no complaints there. I got a drink and sat at a table for a bit to enjoy it. There was quite a few tables inside.

Have visited this location twice. The first time, I just grabbed a quick hot chocolate. The barista was very nice and having a chat with one of the other customers in the store, so great service. And the hot chocolate was great! Second time, I got an iced mocha latte. Truthfully, not too good (in my taste). It had a bit of a burnt flavor and I do not think I ended up finishing it. In terms of the actual shop, it's very lowkey and hidden and hasn't been too packed when I've been inside. Seems great for some casual reading and a coffee or some general work. read more

Came here in the morning for a matcha latte after reading the nice reviews. There were only two people in there (sitting, already ordered). I ordered my drink and waited. After a while of not getting my drink, I got up to ask about my drink. At this point, still near empty cafe, two people walked in after me, ordered, and got their drinks. Turns out cashier totally forgot about my order, after already noting it on his iPad and taking my payment, because "he had other orders and forgot about this one" (it was a near empty cafe, and him and the barista were just chatting the entire time). They didn't think to wonder why a customer was sitting there in front of them without a drink. Disappointed at the quality of my experience and won't return. read more

Wandering through the neighborhood, my partner and I were on a mission to find the perfect cup of coffee.This adorable little coffee shop is a hidden gem (not literally, it's right there on the street, but you get the idea). With only 4-5 tables, it's cozy, quaint, and just plain charming. Isaac, the coffee master extraordinaire, whipped up two cappuccinos with oat milk that tasted exactly like what we had in mind. The atmosphere is peaceful, perfect for catching up with a friend or just enjoying some solo time. Special shoutout to Isaac for the excellent coffee and photography-ready smile. We'll be back! read more

On a long visit to NY, coming from the land of coffee snobs, didn't have great hopes of finding good coffee drinks, (really mixed bag of stores on previous visits). LOVE that Frisson Espresso is within a couple of blocks of my current space. Mochas and lattes are great, the baristas are so friendly, and they really personalize things -- you can ask to have something a particular way and they'll do exactly that. Great art on the walls, good wifi, And the coffee art makes my "not a morning person" heart happy. I'll probably have to come back to NY regularly and am going to try to stay near this place every time. read more

I got the BEC and it was basically just an egg and cheese sandwich. The bacon was almost non existent. For a sandwich this size and at this cost I expected a lot more than ONE tiny sliver of bacon. Very disappointing. 90% of my bites had no bacon. The drip coffee was good. The guy at the register was very friendly and it's a cute, little coffee shop. But the breakfast sandwich was just sad. Save your money. Also, nothing in the cabinet is labeled with a price. And none of those items are on the menu board. It's annoying having to ask how much things are. read more

Cute coffee spot located in Hell's Kitchen! They have the staple coffee drinks available, so I opted for an americano which was perfect--not too acidic nor bitter! Drinks were reasonably priced. A friend of mine who's local to the area recommended their kouign amann - the staff informed me that they don't have this every day, so I came on the right day! Their pastries can be toasted upon request. The kouign amann was delightful, buttery and with caramel notes. Service was friendly and quick! Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

A little hidden gem. If you're looking to lounge out, this spot is not for you. But if you're looking to enjoy a unique/special coffee blend of mushroom and espresso bean while enjoying a cozy(maybe tight) sitting, head in. You don't have to order to stay, you can take to go. We like this place and will definitely be back for our weekend morning outing around the neighborhood. read more

Both my 50yo father and I (22f) agree that this is the best coffee in the Times Square/Hells Kitchen area, and we don't usually agree on much so that's a stellar review. I've had the black coffee and a lavender latte from here, both some of the best coffees I've ever had. Not sure where they get their coffee from, but I'll have to find out, because you can literally taste a difference. read more
