    Iced Chai Latte and Large Latte at Ground Central Coffee
    Alex J.

    Always great service and great coffee. Love the decoration of the store and comfortable seating by the library.

    Almond croissant and matcha with coconut milk

    Friendly service, great music, lots of space to relax, read, eat a snack or matcha. I had the smallmatcha with coconut milk. The matcha was fresh and made to order. Get the almond crossiant you won't be disappointed.

    Super cute coffee shop with kind staff. The matcha latte is superb. It's the kind that people who don't like matcha wouldn't like because the flavor shines. It's served unsweetened, as it should be.

    I really liked this place, one of my fave coffee vibes in the city, I did not experience negative service or anything like that.

    They use these gold/green markers that rub off on your hands and drip on the condensation. We have told the barista and they said they knew.

    Delicious coffee and pastries! The staff is very friendly and the inside has a moody vibe.

    Chairs and decor.

    Good coffee, tasty sweet and savory goodies to eat, plenty of space and seating, friendly servers... this became our go-to local coffee shop during our NYC stay.

    Bookshelves & coffee counter from the seating area. Surprisingly ample seating for a small space. It's a cozy space and good for working, especially with free WiFi. The staff is friendly and efficient. Coffee was great, I ordered a cappuccino, my husband ordered a latte. I also ordered a spinach turnover, as we were here for a quick breakfast. It was just ok. I ate over half of the croissant before even getting to the spinach and ricotta(?) filling. The filling was bland and room temp, even though they warmed it before serving. I would definitely come back for the coffee but probably won't order food again.

    This coffee shop is very clean and quite. It was good to get out of the heat. My friend and I came in here, they made no eye contact and very very rude. They did not give any time for us to explain what we wanted. (We get coffee all the time) and we prefer small local spots, but I think I would've preferred Starbucks because they actually look at you and let you talk. It was empty there was no rush. So any ways it was unfortunate, but the coffee was good. So if your coming in here to grab a cup and go, I would recommend. But service was sadly not ideal.

    I found this cute little spot while in the city for a funeral. While the reasoning for my visit was sad the environment here definitely gave me a warm hug each morning. The Baristas were so kind to me and remembered my order every time. They treated me like a friend and put me on the best pastries. The attention to detail was so impressive. I just had to share my experience! I will always visit whenever I'm in the city :)

    So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. 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. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

I really enjoyed their matcha basque cheesecake with a prominent, deep matcha flavor. The texture was pretty smooth and loved how it wasn't too sweet. The Ho-Dduk has the lovely combo of sweet brown sugar/caramel flavor and creamy vanilla ice cream. When its hot, the dough is super chewy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. 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! After ordering, you get a buzzer that will tell you when your desserts are ready. Lots of seating options from tables to high tops.

    We had a large group reservation for 13 people today (Friday) early afternoon around 1 PM. The…read morereservation process was easy and communication was quick and responsive. We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.
