As always their coffee so good especially the egg coffee with coffee jelly!! This time tried the flan coffee was very good too!!

Kawaii Café has a cute vibe and the coffee was decent overall, but definitely not worth the price and it didn't taste anything like the Vietnamese coffee you'd normally get at Vietnamese restaurants. I really want to support small local shops, but this place just isn't for me. Two pastries and two coffees came out to $37 with tips. The pastries were good, but I'd honestly recommend offering a smaller, more affordable version. The coffee jelly tasted nice but I literally got only four tiny pieces. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not something I'd go back for.

Their amazing drinks

This is such an adorable shop that serves all of these creative flavors of Vietnamese coffee. Their cream-topped matcha drinks are all amazing. We are looking forward to trying their Valentine's Day special edition drinks too. The owner is also such a sweetheart and so welcoming to everyone! Thank you!

What a cute coffee shop this is that just recently opened. I found them on social media and wanted to check it out. It is a Vietnamese coffee shop and it also has a cute logo that is the owners dog. This shop is owned by two sisters and one of them was there when I was there and she was very nice and we had a little conversation and she told me which drinks she recommends. I did the Netflix and chill one without the Jelly on top. I highly recommend this place if you like or want to try Vietnamese coffee.

A new cute cafe in west village! Very thoughtfully decorated and the menu was pretty extensive (love the names of the drinks)! The drinks are on the pricier side and the service was quick and friendly. I wouldn't come here every week, but once in a while this would be a great place to visit. The matcha is nice quality and I would love to try their other drinks in the future.

Deez nut latte
Yazmine Q.

I've been wanting to get Vietnamese coffee and this spot definitely hit. The café itself is super cute and cozy, with such a welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. You can tell a lot of thought went into the space, and even the coffee names are adorable and creative, which makes the experience even more fun.The owner was so sweet and kind. She took the time to explain the drinks and recommended which ones to try, which I really appreciated that kind of service makes all the difference.I got the Situationship, which comes with condensed milk, espresso, coffee jelly, and your choice of milk I went with oat milk. It was so good, smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The coffee jelly added such a fun texture and made the drink feel unique.I also tried the latte called Deez Nuts, which is a peanut butter latte with condensed milk, espresso with oatmilk and peanut butter. It sounds fun, but it tastes even better. It was creamy, flavorful, and something different from your usual latte.Overall, I loved my experience here. The drinks were amazing, the owner was incredibly kind, and the whole place has such a great vibe. I'm definitely coming back to try the matcha drinks next. Highly recommend if you want to try something new and special.

Ham & Cheese Croissant &  Iced Ghosted

I walk by this every day and this was my first time in! The spot is cute, the iced coffee is good, the ham and cheese croissant is delicious, and the staff was lovely! Overall a great experience

Banana Creme Pie
Stephen G.

The Vietnamese coffee is amazing with their little spin on it. I had the deez nut peanut butter coffee and it was truly delicious. I paired it with the banana creme pie danish which was also excellent. The service was great too, the woman at the desk was very helpful with choosing our items and it made us want to return again soon. Very cute, although tiny shop, has room for a few patrons to sit. They have hot and cold options for coffee in case you need yours iced, but we're here during winter so we needed a warm one!

Prices are actual highway robbery $10 for a 16oz cup of iced coffee, but many drinks come with cream and coffee jelly already so I thought I'd give it a try. However, the picture showed a significant layer of coffee jelly on top, yet the drink I received had 3 pieces of jelly at most. For $10, my drink wasn't even filled to the top. I can't imagine coffee jelly being so expensive for a store to be so stingy abt it. Menu pictures most certainly should reflect the actual drink given -- either change the menu pictures or better yet actually add more coffee jelly. Coffee was decent but nothing special, certainly many better and more affordable cafes in manhattan!

Love checking out new local businesses! I had a lovely visit with the owner and a really good iced coffee. Wishing this spot all the best!

Small shop, great service, excellent drinks, & tasty treats!…read more Of the two drinks, the black sesame latte was by far one of the best lattes I've had in a while (granted I have had a latte in a while...). If texture doesn't bother you (liberal amount of black sesame!), I'd suggest getting this latte (10/10). Both pastries were great in their own right. For my second matcha of the day, this matcha was like your everyday/average matcha. Can't go wrong, but it wasn't mind-blowing. If you're in the Theatre District, I'd definitely recommend popping in for a drink & a treat!

Date: Monday, March 2nd, 2026 Time: around 12 noon…read more *Lychee Berry ($9.75) *Panda Cake ($14.50) *Soup Dumpling ($14.50) *Egg Sando ($8) My group dropped by here after having breakfast / brunch. I had seen their cute pastries online and wanted to check them out. We got the items above and a few coffees. The cakes are cute. Tho not as light and fluffy as I was expecting. I thought they'd be more like the asian bakeries we have back in SF. Not as sweet as american desserts, but it was kinda in between. The egg sandwich I really wanted to like since I've been craving one. But the it was sooo dry. Definitely needed more mayo. And the bread wasn't very fluffy either. Cute spot if you want cute desserts. Tho I think they are more geared towards posting on socials. REVIEW #3999

I love this place. The coffee is great, and most awesomely, it's unique. The service is friendly…read moreand competent. Lots of seating, lots of outlets and not too noisy. It's pricey, but welcome to FiDi. My one complaint is they try to upsell you. Like, I'm sure your pastry that's unique to Puerto Rico and that I've never had before is delicious, but I need to get going and I don't want to dip into my 401k for it.

Walking the streets close to my hotel I stumbled across a big PuertoRican flag infront of a…read morebusiness and I knew I wanted to check out what it was. It happened to be 787 Coffee which I have visited plenty of times on the island and enjoy. With excitement and in Spanish I tell the cashier that I was happy to come across this place as I have tried them out in PR. How is it that this "jibara" apparently from Maricao, spoke to me in broken English while I am talking to her in our native language, total fail. Anyhow, I ordered the coquito hot latte with an extra shot of rum and oat milk, fine, I paid $11 for a very small coffee. Now what I can't believe is that the quesito pastry was $8. I really wanted it but it was not until I paid that I then noticed the price. I sat to eat it while I waited for my name to be called as mentioned by the cashier. I walked around looking at everything, the music very loud and hard for people sitting to have conversations, the place is very colorful and with many PR sayings, however the place also feels very Americanized with the music and layout. I still awaited my name to be called minutes later, but nothing. I approached the cashier, who was just standing there, to ask about my coffee and she wasn't able to tell me so she asked the barista steps away from her. He pointed to a cofre sitting on their counter, it had my name, and when I pointed out that I was waiting for my name to be called, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled like she didn't care. The coffee by now was not all that hot, I never tasted any rum or coquito flavor and felt I wasted my time at this place. What's more upsetting is that I left a nice tip for a service that was not provided. They couldn't even bring the coffee ti my table once they realized it was sitting there and they forgot to call my name. You can find better service elsewhere.
