    Such a cute, spacious place to work, study, or read! I came down here with my book and tried one of their pastries. Although most of the seats were taken, I was able to snag an empty one at the end of their long stone table. I ordered a red bean bun, which was so great. It was so soft and comforting. The red bean was just sweet enough, not cloying. I also got a yuzu drink, which was so incredibly refreshing. Overall, I enjoyed my entire experience here, from the ambience to the food. If you're nearby, try this place!

    What a chill coffee shop this is. It is on the second floor of what looks to be a wall climbing gym. I saw someone post this drink the espresso tonic and I was like ohh that looks good, I want to try it. So, I did just that. Highly recommend coming here.

    Service + ambiance were the same as last time. When I ordered: - Mango Coconut Matcha: good color, coconut forward, needed repeated stirring, otherwise the mango would get lost, personally didn't like the coconut flakes

    Hk Milk Tea

    I came here to catch up with a friend over some coffee, and it was such a cute space! The cafe is attached to a gym and is a spacious environment filled with plenty of natural lighting and plants. Their menu has some influences of Hong Kong, such as their lap cheong sandwich, bolo buns, or HK milk tea. Service here is quick and polite. I got their HK milk tea and really enjoyed it. The cafe was really busy, and seemed to be a great space for doing work. They have wifi, public restrooms, but minimal outlets. I would love to come back here sometime.

    Georgie's is a cafe tucked away on the second floor of a climbing gym! There's tons of natural light and open space here. I was worried that it would be challenging to get a table, but there's a huge table in the middle, some smaller one, and high-top counter space as well. You order at the register, and they call you up once your items are ready. I had the HK Milk Tea and my friend and I shared the Bo Lo Yao and Smokey Grilled Cheese. The HK Milk Tea was good, but it's hard to mess up. Nice fragrant tea and not watered down at all. The food was great here and super affordable. They warmed up the Bo Lo Yao, and it was flaky and had a subtle sweetness. The Smokey Grilled Cheese was nice too, with lap cheong jam and mozzarella on flattened bread. It was perfect to share these two items, as I think the grilled cheese is pretty greasy and would've been heavy if we had the entire thing. Super cute spot! I loved how much greenery and natural light came in through the large windows, and food was delicious as well.

    Georgie's is an airy coffee shop / cafe perched above VITAL Climbing Gym. a short walk upstairs above street level is a fairly spacious interior, adorned with plants. modern clean-to-eye decor combined natural colors and tones. there's a good a mount of seating from bar seating to the large long table that dominates the space to smaller tables surrounding it to seating alongside the stairs leading to Georgie's. expect those seats to be taken as this place is where laptop-pers go to work, so seats are at a premium and you should take one if there's one free. its is very clean space that is well-maintained. the coffee bar serves up a menu of coffee, tea, fizzy drinks, a variety of baked eats, and a few larger bites as well as a small selection of beers. stopped here twice recently. got a cold brew which was NOT GOOD at all...tasted very sour bitter and odd. either the cold brew was under-steeped, or the coffee was too coarsely ground, or the roasted coffee was not good. this cold brew was not tasted as it always should be. maybe this was a one-time occurrence, but I will pass on cold brews in the future. i did come back and got an iced Americano which was perfectly fine and had no issues. it hit the spot on a rather warm April day. i will say the Bird Branch roasted coffee blend (Featherweight, I think) that they use here is just okay in my book...wish they picked a more traditional medium roast. the service is very friendly and quick. the draw, here, is really the chill ambiance and location. definitely a good place to grab a drink and do some work or catch up on some reading if you can snag a seat!

    Hojicha oat latte

    Beautiful ambiance with a decent amount of seating, but it can get busy during peak hours. There aren't many outlets and expect most of them to be taken unless you go early. Sold out of matcha, so I opted for the hojicha oat latte which was decent, but the taste of the oat milk brand they use overpowered the hojicha a bit. Was not a fan of the dine-in cups they used (I personally think the type of cup sometimes affects the taste/experience of the drink!). Prices are generally reasonable.

    Cute cafe serving a great purpose. Love the fact that they implement a lot of Chinese flavors into their menu, though I will say they are more successful in concept than necessarily execution with some of their items - their sandwich wasn't super flavorful or something I would need to get again, and their coffee is solid. However, I will say this doesn't stop this from being extremely successful with a HUGE space for you to sit and get some work done, a variety of authentic Chinese pastries and interesting menu items to keep you coming back, in a modern setting with TONS of natural lighting - it's the ideal workspace. They also have bathrooms and wifi(though for some reason I was having a lot of trouble getting on it, though the people next to me were not and many people were clearly using the wifi to get work done). Lots of plants and space to sit but it DOES get crowded on the weekends and hard to find a table. Someone snatched my spot as soon as I left kind of busy on the weekend. Definitely check this place out.

    Amazing spot in the heart of Essex. Got the pineapple bun which was AMAZING, hugs and kisses to the baker. The baristas are so friendly & made my matcha latte oat w such love & precision. The space itself is lovely, flourished with monsteras and green plants. An excellent place to catch up with a friend, a study date or to read your book. I will be back to try their milk tea.

    Brought a friend to try Georgie with me and it did not disappoint! We had iced matcha and hojicha lattes, and picked an array of sweet treats. I'm the type that if there's egg tarts, I'm getting it. It was very good, I love me a good flakey crust dan tat. We also tried the sesame and ube cookie, they were soft and chewy after being warmed. The sweet that takes the crown though was the ube banana pudding. We LOVED it so much! It was the perfect amount of ooey gooey and we could not stop raving about it. The ambiance felt like we were in a greenhouse with all the indoor plants! Very relaxing with plenty of seating and natural light.

    Decided to try Georgie's because I've been on the hunt for good Hong Kong milk tea. It's located inside a climbing gym, but it was pretty easy to find. I liked the concept and the open space was very nice with lots of greenery. All the tables were taken when I got there, it seems like it's a popular spot to work or study. I ordered the Hong Kong milk tea to go and found a seat on the stairs. The milk tea was disappointingly watery and not flavorful :(. I think this place was overhyped on social media because of the atmosphere. I will not be coming back.

    3.5 Found a free comedy show at Georgie's; was a good way to check out a new place. This cafe is located above the Vital Climbing Gym, a few blocks from Essex Market. Convenient from the F train, Delancey Station. I remember this area being vacant lots decades ago but so many new bldgs now. Enter via the gym entrance and go up the many steps. My husband said he saw an elevator. Lots of greens and concrete in the decor. Long table in the center and tables with chairs on the sides. Looked very nice. Has a view of the gym. Gives options for milk at no charge, exc. half and half for $0.50. Cold Yuzu lemonade was a syrup with water and ice added. Food and bakery items also available. A couple of restrooms in the back.

    Egg Tart
    Chi C.

    Georgie's Cafe and Bar is aesthetically pleasing at its finest, sharing an upstairs space with a recreational complex building. There's a stairwell you move up to a lot of open seating with plenty of natural lighting. I stopped by after seeing a lot of its new social media posted, and was excited for its Hong Kong style food and drink. Like a lot of other NYC cafes, nearly every table was full but I snagged a quick seat for a few bites. The Egg Tart was delicious with a light, flaky crust. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Bo Lo Bao, since it could've used a bit more butter. When ordering pastries, I definitely recommend getting them toasted or warmed up as well. The prices for food and drinks are very cheap (around $4-7 each), so that's a big plus! Staff was also engaging and friendly, and made great recommendations on which items to try. Very beautiful venue, but also I'm unsure if it's ADA accessible since I didn't happen to notice an elevator. (It could be in the back where the bathrooms are, but I didn't get the chance to investigate.) However, still a great location and food stop!

The interior was cute, simple, with plenty of seating, and there was a cozy atmosphere to the place. Decided to order the Baked Fried Rice with Pork Chop in black pepper sauce, along with Black Sesame Lava Toast for dessert. The Baked Fried Rice with Pork Chop was so hearty and comforting. I really enjoyed the combination of crispy rice, yummy cheesiness, well seasoned pork chop, and boldly flavorful pepper sauce, which had a bit of a kick. I just wanted the pork chop to be grilled and a little more tender. Black Sesame Lava Toast was quite tasty. It was nicely crunchy, buttery, oozing with a bit of irresistibly sweet and nutty black sesame. I would have liked even more black sesame though. Service was good. The waiter was friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. Prices were very reasonable. I ended up paying with Venmo. Next time I would like to try the Salted Duck Egg and Jumbo Shrimp Fried Rice, or XO Sauce Noodles with pork.

Also, they are very ethical, the local newspaper had it that every summer/winter the boss closes the restaurant for a month and gives their employees a month off. They do the most authentic HK styled rice noodles, fried rice, macaroni, and spaghetti, which were a fusion because of the long history of British colony. The HK milk tea is another one of those most authentic cup that you can get in NYC. They are generally really fast with their service and the prices have been very reasonable for years. So much love for this local business and I hope they'll be here for many more years to come.

I eyed the low star rating with some trepidation, because many of the criticism was coming from Cantonese people who know what they're talking about and as far as I could tell, judging the place plainly and not on an unreasonably strict curve. Perhaps because my expectations were level set and because the 3 items I had were decent, my normally critical self is going to round up what I would consider a 3.5 star experience to 4 stars. My partner and I biked here on our fancy bikes that we didn't feel comfortable locking outside, and they very kindly allowed us to keep our bikes in the front area. Some tables were occupied, but it was pretty chill on the Saturday afternoon I visited so this might be why they were so relaxed about it. We got the horlick french toast, rice noodles with fish balls, and HK milk tea. It's true that I'm used to Manhattan and north Brooklyn prices but wow things were shockingly cheap on this menu. I didn't expect the best food but the horlick french toast and HK milk tea were particularly good. I think the fish balls and noodles tasted like they were either rehydrated or defrosted and absolutely not made fresh, but again I think this dish was like 5 or 6 bucks? So I'm fine with a little reheated noodle action. What I really came here was for the ambience, and even the haters in the reviews can't deny this place is cute. If I were here with a group I would love to sit in one of their plush booths. They didn't rush us at all and didn't mind me walking around taking dozens of videos. I'd recommend a visit!
