Limited seating inside, but we always manage to find a seat. Just a short half block walk from 50 St Subway Station! We look forward to coming back soon!

The place has tables where you can hang out and enjoy your food and drinks. I went on a weekday during dinner time and there was no line so it was quick and convenient. I had the Iced Latte with oat milk, no ice, and no sugar, which was amazing! It was also gluten free, dairy free, and soy free, which is a big plus for me. Just note that restrooms are for customers only. I would definitely come back if I'm in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan.

The space is cozy with some seating, and apparently they have award-winning cookies... which I unfortunately cannot personally confirm because I had already eaten enough breakfast to feed a small village.

I'd love to come back when I'm actually hungry enough to investigate these allegedly award-winning cookies because clearly I have unfinished business here. Cute spot, good coffee, gorgeous chandeliers--and apparently cookies that have trophies. I need answers.

The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

After seeing how insane the breakfast line was, we decided to come back in the afternoon instead. For $16, we got a lox sandwich with everything bagel, regular cream cheese, salmon, tomato, and onion. Capers cost an extra $1, apparently they are not included by default at this location. The bagel was well baked, with the perfect chewy texture without being dry, and they were pretty generous with the smoked salmon. Overall it was a very solid lox sandwich. Would I wait in an insane morning line for it, though? Probably not.

So I went in for the Green Tangerine Matcha Ade, which is the drink they should be talking about more. The green tangerine is the Jeju cheonggyul thing, the unripe fruit picked before it sweetens, so you get a sharper, almost yuzu-adjacent bitterness instead of orange juice sweetness. That's the right call against matcha. Grassy tea, tart citrus, light sugar, actual carbonation that hadn't gone flat by the time I got to the bottom. The matcha stayed suspended too, which is harder than it sounds in soda water. Dried citrus wheel on top is a real garnish, not a sad afterthought. Staff were genuinely into it. I asked what grade of matcha they use and how it's built, and got straight answers with zero eye-rolling. Rare at a counter-service spot at 1410 Broadway, where most places are just moving the garment district lunch crowd through. It's eight bucks for a fizzy tea. That's steep, and the room is basically a lobby cafe with very little seating, so this is a grab-and-walk-to-Bryant-Park situation, not a linger. Still, if you're a tea person stuck in a coffee city, this is one of the better cold matcha drinks in Midtown right now. Better balanced than Kijitora's peach fizz, which leans sweet. Order it, skip the seating, don't expect quiet.

At $8 a cup, the horchata was already expensive, and adding rum-infused coffee beans cost another $3 per drink. As good as the horchata was, I just couldn't justify paying $11 for a cup of coffee. Then I spotted their stickers priced at $10 each--seriously, for those tiny stickers?! The coffee shop itself has a lovely vibe, but the prices are hard to justify, and I'm not a fan of the aggressive upselling. Great horchata, but overall, it felt like a rip-off. I visited once, and that's probably enough for me.

They tried to charge me an extra $15 for mozzarella on my chicken. Would never go back here. If they cut the prices in half, it would be great.
