Stopped in here on the walk back to my hotel. It looked funky and fun. When we got in it was only one worker and she seemed overwhelmed, asking us to order on the tablet. We did not know what to get and didn't get much guidance. We tried the frissy which I thought would be close to an iced mocha but it was more like a Frappuccino. It was not my thing, but the flavor was good. read more

Aside from their oh-so-delicious coffee drinks, Frisson on 44th offers breakfast sandwiches if you're hungry. Try their BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese sammich), it comes with a croissant-like[1] bread that is so buttery good. Billie and team rock! Thanks to the team for somehow remembering me.

Wonderful service in a cozy little nook of a coffee shop. I loved the attention to detail on each cup made. My fiance told the barista that we wanted it to go since he's always so practical and thinks we might not finish the drinks, but the barista noted that I was taking photos and switched the last two drinks to dine in. He crafted a beautiful piece of work on my matcha latte and did the same for my future father-in-law's latte. The matcha flavor was strong and wasn't overwhelmed with the milk. They said they ship their coffee nationwide which is pretty cool. They also had some nice merch for sale on display. Highly recommend stopping here for a cuppa! read more

Amazing coffee and tea selections, and they offer more than what's on the menu! For example, we ordered dirty chai latte and matcha latte, both of which are not on the menu. Meanwhile, love love the food/snack options, some of the unique treats that I have never seen before. Tried this savory spinach tart, it was eggy and not too hard, very tasty, perfect for an empty stomach! The gentleman at the counter was pretty helpful and friendly. Despite of long lines, we got our drinks pretty quickly. The ambiance is chill and friendly. read more

In my brief visit to Frisson Espresso, I was greeted by an atmosphere that perfectly catered to the city dweller looking for a quick coffee experience. The café's interior exuded a cozy vibe, with its white brick walls giving a modern, urban feel. The coffee was very well-brewed. It was hot and full-bodied, capturing the rich essence of the beans without a hint of bitterness. It accompanied me on a cold, rainy day, adding a touch of warmth to my walk. I would love to return next time I am in the neighbourhood. read more

We stopped by for morning coffees recently, and were pretty disappointed. I got a cortado, and the coffee tasted extremely burnt. It had no flavor but an overwhelming burnt, dark bitter taste. It was also overly foamy, which caused the texture to be somewhat ruined. We also got a iced latte with vanilla syrup, and it had a similar burnt taste. It was certainly hidden a bit more behind the syrup and higher milk content, but definitely still took away from the drink. Overall, wouldn't come back for the coffee; there are better options around! I'm sure they do other things well though! read more

Have you tried Japanese iced coffee before? We hadn't before passing by Frisson and we were very curious! Their Japanese iced coffee is made by brewing hot coffee directly over ice to flash chill while producing a crisp and bright taste. What we got: - Japanese iced coffee Final Thoughts: I don't typically drink my coffee black, but even without milk or any additional sweetener this cup wasn't bitter at all.

Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt.

The mango bingsoo had a good mango flavor; wasn't too tangy nor too sweet. Mangoes were fresh for the season. The elixir or the matcha bingsoo was solid too, but I still preferred the strong matcha flavors from the cheesecake. Lines sometimes are long but it also moves fast!

I stumbled upon this cafe, lured in by the need for quality espresso to wake up from long flight, and let me tell you, it didn't disappoint. But, there was a moment that had me scratching my head. When I asked for a long shot, the staff seemed a bit lost, not quite sure what I was after. It took a kindly gentleman's guidance for them to get the hang of it. Watching this unfold, I couldn't help but wonder about the espresso lingo barrier in NYC cafes. Turns out, a long shot isn't as common as I thought in the city. Who knew? After a bit of back and forth, with the staff member checking in to see if he should keep the espresso flowing a bit longer, we got there in the end. And I've got to say, the result was worth the mini espresso education session. The long shot was bold, smooth, and had a depth of flavor that took me by surprise. It was a reminder of how a little patience can lead to some pretty delightful outcomes. read more

News Flash! 2nd location!!! I've been a fan of Frisson Espresso for more than 5 years. It is my favorite meeting space for friends and family. In fact, no visiting friend leaves NYC without a trip to Frisson and an introduction to the world of latte art. Tulian and Robert are masters of this intricate and often challenging art. Of course, their espresso is always perfect. It's nearly impossible for me to go to Starbucks or other coffee companies now that I've been spoiled. This new location serves açaí bowls in addition to their usual home baked goods. I understand this will be expanding to include vegan options. I miss their vegan cranberry oatmeal cookie. So take a step inside and stay awhile. These guys are the best!!! read more

I recently visited Frisson Espresso and ordered a flat white coffee, which was one of the best I've had in New York. The staff were respectful and nice, and the prices were reasonable. The place is pet-friendly, which is a great bonus. Although the shop is a bit small and located in the middle of the street, it is truly a hidden gem. read more

I can't remember what kind of coffee I had but it was one of the first ones on the menu and it was just excellent. It was so smooth and the flavor was perfect.

I'm a latte girl through and through, but I was absolutely desperate for coffee and wanted to try…read moresomething possibly stronger. Ordered a cortado for the first time! It was creamy and realllyyy strong (which I love) but it was a bit bitter. The cortado is small, but no amount of honey would help to sweeten it, it might've been best to not waste the calories and put none at all (you really couldn't taste any sweetener). I don't do simply syrups or white sugar, but for someone one that might have been best as it is offered! They do not offer any flavored syrups (I love that personally) as they only offer honey and simple syrup. That coffee kept me up ALL night let me tell you, I had it at around 7ish PM and was super glad this wasn't a coffee shop that closed at 5 PM which sucks, and I didn't fall asleep until 5 AM LMAOOOO! It was ridiculous, but will def put some pep in your step on a very tired morning or a pick me up when you're about to crash. They also carry a chocolate tahini cookie that comes from "The Good Batch Bakery" located in Brooklyn. I've never had cookies from the actual bakery, but there's a health food spot in Jersey City called NÛRISH and I would get the cookies ALL the time. They are my absolute favorite and haven't had it anywhere else until this day. I didn't catch the barista's name, but she was very nice! I generally review coffee shops strictly on how well made a latte is and looking at the other photos it didn't look too great and I didn't have one personally this time around. Due to the bitterness of the coffee, I wanted to give a rating of a 3, but the cortado did absolutely what it needed to do and it was a nice surprise that they carried the cookies, giving it a 4 instead. Would love to try this place out again for a latte next time!
