I stopped by this Coffee place on a scorching hot evening looking for something refreshing, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered a matcha (not coffee!) and was helped by a staff member who was genuinely warm, kind, and attentive. She took the time to walk me through options, made helpful recommendations, and didn't hesitate when I came back to ask for extra ice. She was just lovely. They also had some really nice treats, like matcha balls and chocolate bites etc which looked fresh and thoughtfully made. The whole vibe of the place was cool, relaxed, and seemed to offer a quality selection. I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in the area. Great experience all around
It's a small cafe without a bathroom. I got a Turkish coffee and tomato quiche. The quiche was a decent size and tasty. They have self-serve water. They sell tea and coffee.
Cute, intimate coffee shop with various syrups and pastries for purchase to go. We ordered 2 almond milk cortados with extra espresso. PERFECT temperature!! Foam was also great. Service was very friendly as well. Great local coffee house!!
Loved this little hidden gem on the Upper East Side! It's the perfect spot for getting some work done between 3-7 when it's a little quieter while having a global snack (The Portuguese Pastel de Nata are my favorite and with a $10+ purchase you get one for free). I had their Peach Iced Tea but the Rose Matcha is also a favorite & although I don't drink coffee it seems that the French Kiss Latte is ordered a lot so grab one and leave your own review! Lol . The Banana muffin was really tasty too. I split it with a girl I met in the store and she said it paired really well with their iced coffee so that's a plus. It can get a little busy in there in the morning & at lunch since there's a hospital nearby (and they give them a discount which is really ni but they're quick so service isn't a problem. Finally, their little anonymous words of encouragement jar & the book crossing are super cool and a great way to spread sunshine in the city. Definitely check it out! FlightsxForks
Nice spot! I had the tomato quiche which was alright, nothing special but not bad at all. The coffee was good and the woman working was very friendly. They have wifi but not too much seating. They don't have a bathroom either so definitely not a place you could stay at for long. Nice little spot to get work done for a little while though.
I got the chance to try a random smattering of their baked goods thanks to TGTG but my favorite has gotta be the multi grain croissant! I will say I'm a sucker for croissants but it means I've tried a lot of them. Croissants don't taste healthy and that's okay. Their croissant managed to be flaky on outside, earthy, nutty, and just so perfect! I could probably order a dozen to go based on the taste alone and I'd be okay with any price. I saw people lounging outdoors but they have a small space indoors. I was greeted immediately when I stepped in. I would visit again!
I couldn't leave this neighborhood without trying one of their Portuguese egg tarts. The last time I was here, I visited the Cafe too late and they sold out. This time I visited them during lunchtime and they still had some left. Yay!! I bought 2 for $5 cuz is a better deal than buying 1 for $3. I shared with my hubby. The egg tart had good flavor and it was a decent size. I wish I had eaten it right when I bought it but I wasn't taking the train home so I had to wait. I think it would have tasted better but it was still good later on. I would love to try their other desserts next time I'm in the area. It's a cute little Cafe with a few seats. I think it is more of a grab n go place really. Check it out!!
Le Reveil is an adorable coffee shop on the UES located above the Q train. The decor is very artsy and aesthetically pleasing. The baristas have all been pretty good and friendly. I have been pleased with all of my drink choices so I believe that they use excellent quality coffee, ingredients and machinery. I've added their lavender syrup to a few of my hot drinks and if you like a little floral hint, I recommend adding it to a latte. I typically get a couple of Brazilian cheese balls and Portuguese custard tarts because I cannot resist. I've also tried some of their other pastries which have also been fresh and tasty. I'm happy that this is just two blocks away from home and conveniently located near the train station.
I am mortified by this experience: I came in here several times upon its opening (or slightly later?) to collect pastries. The second and third time, there were fruit flies flying around- usually this bothers me, but I thought nothing of it. But noted they were in the bakery case. Also I had just purchased a bread container, so this I was excited about. I had never used one before and hate/never leave any food out. EVER. Fast forward: EIGHT MONTHS LATER I am STILL dealing with an INSANE fruit fly infestation. See photos. These are the ONLY pastries I purchased and put into the container. They begat an ENTIRE INFESTATION of fruit flies, which I am STILL dealing with, TO THIS DAY. I am absolutely mortified and will never go here again. Yes they definitely came from here, no contest. As mentioned earlier, I NEVER leave food out (nor do I buy pastries) excepting this one (few ) instance(s here only) with the bread box with holes-- this is what happened. Beware. This was one of the worst, most disgusting/mortifying experiences of my entire life
I was passing by Le Reveil Coffee when I saw a sign that they had a handmade version of the viral Dubai pistachio chocolate bar. The inside is small but cute. There's one large table that can seat a few people and another table by the window that can seat a few more. There's also a wall dedicated to different types of coffees, teas, syrups, etc which was pretty cool. I bought two of the chocolate bars to try and also share with my family. The bars are beautiful. I haven't had the original Dubai one so I can't compare; however it is really good! They are pretty pricey but I'm happy to have had the experience. I also got a fairy dust matcha. (I had to ask what it was haha). The girl working there was very nice. The flavors that I remember are matcha, cucumber, and lavender. She said it was like a lemonade. I honestly didn't expect to like it. I don't usually like lavender flavored things. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The cucumber shines through the most and keeps it refreshing. My total was $61.50 for the 3 items which is pretty expensive. I guess considering that pistachios are already expensive it's a fair price. Their pastries looked really good and I would return to try them.
I haven't been uptown much since the pandemic. After making a donation at the ASPCA on 92nd between York and 1st, I started walking down 2nd avenue: Lots of interesting restaurants and bars, something for everyone. I noticed almost all the food carts did not have prices on them. I was looking for a snack and walked in "the dream." Their pastries looked good and also did not have prices marked: I opted for a Parmesan and leek savory pastry $4.50) which satiated my snack needs. Cute little coffee shop with international snack food. I'd pop in again should I be wanting a bite in the neighborhood.
Review only for their Pastel de Nata! I was drawn in from their outdoor advertisement of the pastel de nata. I've had it in Portugal as a reference to the original taste and loved them there. The inside is tight but there's some seating available. They have all sorts of desserts including cakes, pie, pastries, donuts, muffins, etc. There were several pastel de nata on display (40+) and I asked the front staff if they cook them daily. She claimed that several batches are cooked throughout the day. Sad to report that the nata did not taste fresh and was very soggy and sweeter than what I remembered Portuguese nata tasted like. I took one bite and had to take the rest home so I could crisp it with my air fryer. $3.37
The drinks were not at all worth the price, even for the city. The cafe had a $1 surcharge for iced drinks on top of the regular price listed on the menu. This is something found on the bottom of the menu, so I had honestly not seen it when ordering. But once my order was put in the register and I saw my total, I just chalked it up to this being a cafe in the city and didn't think too much of it. Once the drinks were served though, there was little to no ice in the cups (with the matcha latte being served much hotter than room temperature) and the drinks were no where near full (which I can understand being a thing in some places in the city, but it meant more ice should have been added especially considering the surcharge). The drinks were okay overall, but being served a warm matcha latte when we were explicitly charged for an iced drink was a strong drawback. The ambiance in the cafe is nice, it's very well decorated and made for a great study session. The tables though seemed to not be routinely cleaned, as crumbs and a variety of drink stains/splashes covered the table. The service was okay, but the cashier seemed very annoyed when I had asked to add another drink to my order (which I can understand, but it was nonetheless disheartening). I'm will not be coming back due to my disappointing experience, but for those who do: just stick to hot drinks and their baked goods.
Reviews are generally positive. People highlight the friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, and fresh pastries. The variety of drinks is well-liked, though some mention mixed drink quality.

Nice little cafe on the upper east side, great assortment of espresso drinks and teas. I had a chai latte that tasted great, will definitely be back for a coffee next time I'm in the area. The space itself is small, but they do a great job of making it feel inviting. If you manage to find a seat, there's WiFi available to post up for some work. Friendly staff, and it's always nice to shop local! read more

Le Reveil was an accidental find today thanks to a couple I passed on the sidewalk. They were drinking their coffee with such enjoyment and I was due for my second cup. They said Le Reveil is only a couple blocks and the coffee is good. Sounds good to me! What an adorable place. The employees are friendly, efficient and knowledgeable about their merchandise. I had a Spinach Feta Swirled pastry that was just what I wanted today. The 100% Columbian Coffee was so very good! My brunch came to $6.50 and they take cash. I'm a happy camper. I'm highly recommending this adorable coffee house. It's laid back with outside seating and it's right outside the 72nd Street Q Train Entrance. I'm walking home though..... read more
Finally stopped by to check out their Portuguese egg tarts and coffee! The egg tarts were tasty but the texture really confused me. I very much enjoyed the crunchy and buttery outer pastry. The filling had strong egg-y and vanilla flavors, not too sweet, but the filling was too soft, almost runny - as if it hadn't been baked thoroughly? I've had a lot of Macanese Portuguese egg tarts and other egg tarts growing up but I've never had ones with a runny filling (when its not supposed to be lava), and not sure that it should be that runny? Not sure if I just got a bad batch? Also got myself a loco latte which is coconut syrup in a latte. The coconut flavors were indeed prominent but it tasted a little artificial especially when there was way too much milk and not enough coffee/espresso flavors. The store itself is pretty cute with wooden logs as chairs/wooden tables. Its a nice cozy space to do some work or enjoy your paper. Staff were nice and food came out quick. Seemed like they had lots of other baked good options and other packaged things for sale. read more
This is a super convenient spot steps away from the subway, so you can run here before trying to catch the next train. It's not a big space inside but very well decorated and cozy to have a chat with a friend and sip on some coffee at the window if you want to stay inside. The first time I came in here because of their board for the Portuguese pastries, pastel de nata, and was intrigued. Now I am hooked! Really delicious pastries with a sweet sort of cream filling and just small and light enough with a coffee. Overall they have very good coffee as well, it is decently strong like I prefer. read more
Wonderful customer service. Delicious coffee. It was so tempting to purchase the blend to go, but I'm sure I wouldn't make it as good. Go on and buy those Portuguese pastels. They're so good. Great vibe. Go. You'll be happy. read more
There are a few very important things to know about Le Reveil Coffee, which is an easy to miss cafe between 69th & 70th on the east side of the street. Don't miss out on their OUTSTANDING Coffees, Lattes and exceptionally delicious croissants and pastries. I wandered in a few days ago and walked out astonished that anyone could make such a perfectly brewed and delicious latte! I have been returning every day and have been impressed with the staff's warmth and personal interest in making sure everything I've bought meets my satisfaction. And that's how they treat all their customers! While there are lots of places to buy coffees, they are not all equally good and some are surprisingly bad, however Le Reveil is clearly in a league of their own! read more
Happened across this quaint little coffee shop on my way to see an associate. Had time to sit and relax while enjoying my Flat White; which was delicious by the way! They're Covid-conscious! Thank you for that! Friendly, and the place is very well maintained, and rather comfy (a great spot to take a date if you ask me - bringing the wifey next time in the area!). Stop by, I'm sure you'll love the food options available, and the relaxed ambiance! read more

Love this quaint coffee shop with a great selection of assorted pastries. I had a cheese pastry that reminded me exactly of cheese borek that I had in Turkey. Absolutely delicious and coffee drinks made to order. I will definitely be back! :) read more
My friend and I dropped by for the pastel de nata and stayed for the matcha lattes and almond croissant. The lady who runs the place is the nicest and the atmosphere of the place was super chill so we hung out there for an hour. Matcha lattes were amazing, definitely try the rose matcha iced latte! read more
My friend and I stopped by here to try the mushroom coffee out. We heard it's all the benefits of regular coffee but without the crash. We both got hot latte versions with espresso added, and they were absolutely creamy and delicious. I love caffeine but I tend to get a stomach ache and have the jitters after I finish my morning coffee (glutton for punishment I guess!), and this cup didn't cause either of those things! We figured while we were there we might as well try the pastel de nata and OH. MY. GOD. I need to find these somewhere in Buffalo. They were like little creme brûlée pies - crispy crunchy bottom, with an absolutely delicious custard filling. I will never be able to go to NYC with visiting this place again. I went twice over my 5 day trip. So good read more

The friendliest vibes in a coffee shop that I've ever experienced! Upon walking in, I was greeted by the barista. I asked for her most popular beverage (it was a latte !) and a Spinach & Feta Bistro....absolutely delicious! I recommend this space for a quiet productive work day with a laptop and some headphones. Space is tight, but I had no problem securing a table to myself in this tiny, cozy space. read more

Almond croissant was stale and horrible. Worst croissant I have had till date. It had no almond filling as you can see from the picture. Coffee wasn't that great either. The coffee machine was unclean and had a foul smell. I just prayed it wouldn't spoil my stomach. read more
I stumbled upon Le Reveil Coffee after a doctor's appointment. The sign for pastel de nata drew me in. I was very happy about this find. The coffee shop is a slither of a thing and would probably be very cozy pre-pandemic times. Now you just order and wait (inside or) outside for your order. I look forward to many more doctor's appointments so I can get my pastel de nata. Pastel de Nata [$3]: If you see a pastel de nata, buy a pastel de nata. That's my motto, that's always my motto, especially now during a global pandemic. As soon as I sunk my teeth into this pastel, I was transported back to Lisbon, which is pretty remarkable considering I was standing outside the 72nd Street subway station. This pastel was warm and creamy, you could have easily just shoved it in your mouth and be done with it. But then you would have missed the perfect first bite crunch. You know the one where crumbs fly everywhere and you don't care because it's that good. The filling was slightly sweet but also had the right amount of savory. There's no extra sugar or any other bells and whistles and that's fine with me. I felt like I was being reunited with a friend that I hadn't seen in a long time. I couldn't have asked for a more delightful treat. Chagaccino [$6.43]: I also had the chagaccino which is suppose to cure all of life's ailments. Not really. It's made with mushrooms and has all these immune boosting properties, it's supposedly a superfood. Whatever, it's a mushroom latte / cappuccino and it's pretty tasty if you don't really think about what you're drinking. You don't even taste the mushroom flavor, it's actually on the sweeter side and drinks as easy as a regular latte / cappuccino. I would get this again. read more
