    Honey vanilla cinnamon latte
    Anushka M.

    It was the first nice day in a while since the cold days so there were lines everywhere for all the popular west village coffee spots. Hungry ghost had a smaller line than most so I decided to give it a try. I got their honey cinnamon vanilla latte iced and it wasn't bad! I wish it was a bit sweeter but overall it satisfied what I needed. If I ever needed a quick fix this would be a good spot.

    3.5! My friend and I took a pitstop here to get in some needed hydration. My order was an iced latte with almond milk. My friend got the iced matcha latte. I appreciated that they were frothing the matcha with a whisk (instead of using the electric frother). Things I didn't appreciate - both drinks tasted okay. I think the espresso-milk-ice ratio was off such that we both felt like we were drinking flavored chilled milk.

    This is a cute and cozy coffee shop. It had seating indoors in the front and some in the back. It is a smaller shop so it can get crowded fast I am sure. Did have ti wait sorta a long time for my drink but it was the weekend. I got a drink off the seasonal specials menu it was the honey vanilla cinnamon latte. I asked the barista if it's better hot or iced so I went with hot as she said that was better. She was very nice.

    Came here with a group of runners and thought the cafe's aesthetic was nice and modern yet it couldn't even house a bathroom, so I had to speed walk across the street to Joe & the Juice who graciously let me use theirs even though I was a passive customer. The interiors of Hungry Ghost are showroom cute, but not ideal for a long term stay-stool esque seats with no backing and odd spacing from the counter to the island that houses all the drink companion essentials-lid, napkins, milk. The drinks and pastries are overpriced given the quality and portion size, but you're just paying for the nice location and the overhead. The almond croissant was memorable (highly doubt they bake this in house), however the Honey Vanilla Cinnamon Latte was lowkey disgusting-you can't combine different, random sweet flavors and assume it'll taste good. My friend ordered a matcha latte, and you can just tell from the shade of green that...this is not the place for matcha or anything that is not coffee.

    I tried the honey cinnamon latte this time because it is a seasonal drink and was recommended to me by the barista! I enjoyed it a lot - none of the flavors were overpowering.

    The coffee is good, but I found the service to be kind of rude. The guy who took my order didn't seem to care to be there. On his phone while I ordered and didn't let me know my beverage was ready. No outlets. No bathrooms on site. Otherwise the espresso was flavorful and a pretty place to sit.

    Peppermint Mocha

    I got a peppermint mocha and it was wonderful! The girl at the front was so kind to us and the customer service was spot on! Definitely recommend!

    Really cute coffee spot. There's a nice variety of teas too, if coffee isn't your thing. The cafe has ample seating and isn't as crowded as the surrounding cafes, so it's a nice option to have after a day of shopping or walking in the area.

    While the ambiance and decor were cute, the service, price and amenities were unimpressive. While tastey, $6+ for the smallest cappuccino I've ever had. Ordered with oat milk substitution ($0.50 upcharge, standard), the barista began making with cows milk and I had to have them remake it. Staff was very disengaged. Also, no public restroom!! Would recommend to going to any of the other cafe's around in west village.

    Rating this establishment left me in a conundrum...we will have to separate ambience from customer service. We came here before heading to the iconic Friends apartment facade. We needed coffee. We drink plain black americano. That's always easy for the baristas. It was good. The pastries we had were also good. However, my three stars lean more toward customer service. The baristas need some improvement in this department. Additionally, I needed to wash my hands before eating my pastry, yet, there wasn't a restroom available for me to use. The cafe is small and cozy. There were a few customers working on their laptops. They also have additional seating outside.

    Great iced oat latte! Not too sweet or strong. Seating in the back and various seats in the front. Free WiFi.

    Chai

    Friendly staff decent selection of coffees and pastries delicious chai Also sells bagged coffee

    The wolf logo?
    Yoandra V.

    I was walking along with my friend and we were happily lost. We were also very tired and we wanted a coffee. So we decided to check this place out because of the logo. We thought it was cute. We found it funny how it said "hungry ghost" yet it had a wolf? as a logo. The guy behind the counter was nice and straightforward. He made us a chai and a latte. The beans used in this coffee shop are from stump town coffee roasters. The latte had a nutty flavor to it, it wasn't too acidic or bitter. it had a high price tag of $6, but the contrary to the previous yelper who said the latte pour was bad, it was delicious. I really dont care much for the latte art. I care more about the flavor. Flavor tops everything and it was good. My friend said the chai wasnt too spicy and it was one of the best she had. So overall, this place had perhaps one of the best drinks in West Village. I also wanted to purchase a coffee cup from miir with the coffee shops logo on it. but I thought I could find it online. I did sadly could not, (to whoever runs the website, if you guys could put that merch on the website and sell it, I would happily buy one). The atmosphere had a wonderful vibe with people reading a book, or studying. The only downsides are that is there is no bathroom and no outlets so just a heads up to the people who wish to study here.

    Barista couldn't even bother to mix the matcha into the drink. Lazy. Won't be back.

    The coffee is always perfect- not too acidic. I also love the staff. Everyone is so friendly! They allow laptops here which is a big plus.

We only wanted coffee & tea yet after reading about their cookies, we bought 2! First, my English Breakfast tea was outstanding. The brand, serendipiTea. So good I didn't need to add sugar. They gave me the option of adding maple syrup. I added some Oat milk, it was delicious. Then after my 5th sip of tea I had the most delicious peanut butter gluten free cookie. So good! My hubby loved his coffee and chocolate chip cookies, he was speechless. Love this place.

Stop in for an espresso made with care, or grab a dozen of their flavor-packed cookies for the office, which are sure to impress clients and coworkers alike. I've always been a sucker for their gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookie, but today a coworker brought back the Korn Cookie, and I think I've found my new favorite! Crispy on the outside, simple, buttery and perfectly sugary on the inside. It's the kind of cookie that looks unassuming but delivers BIG on flavor. If you're in Midtown, Culture Espresso is absolutely worth the visit. (Barely remembered to snap a photo of my cookies before they were devoured!)
