Vegan Banana Bread
Jessica P.

Stopped in because of the vegan pastry options, and there were three: peanut butter cookie, chocolate chip tahini cookie and pumpkin bread which was very dark with nutmeg. The chocolate chip cookie had a very chewy texture but was bland and not worth finishing. The pumpkin bread was also kind of flavorless but worth eating the whole thing. Service was decent and the place seemed rather clean. Close to Penn Station so pretty convenient.

Perfect to work from! Literally the cutest and nicest coffee shop around Penn Station I've seen in a while. Seats for working and a very good WiFi to work on. But don't be too loud or stay too long. It's not that huge and it's a chill vibe. They have delicious drinks to order from. I got the Manchinno which is chai, chocolate and espresso. I got it without the espresso. Me and espresso is a scary combo. Do not sleep on the focaccia sandwich. They have an assortment and they all looked so yummy, but I got the "Nonna Maria" with prosciutto and parmigiana reggiana cheese and balsamic glaze. This toasted was everything I needed. Shout out to the guy behind the counter who was holding down the fort all by himself. He's def a champ. Leaving this spot bookmarked for future visits.

We stopped in here with some friends on our way to go stroll the Highline as we needed a good pick-me-up. The inside is fairly small, but there are a good amount of places to sit. They have two tables (one on each side of the door) that are up on a platform, facing the window. These are PERFECT little places to sit and people watch (one of my favorite activities). I ordered the Principessa - a white chocolate, raspberry and vanilla latte. This choice was out of the norm for me, but I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed it! The service was decent and the coffee was prepared rather quickly. I'd definitely stop in again if I happened to be in the area!

Super good coffee! Beans are strong and the vibes in there are immaculate. My kind of slow chill rnb music was playing over the speakers. Fun names for the lattes. Workers are chill and nice.

Inside - spacious and not crowded

Great coffee shop to peacefully get some work done at. Tables are spaced out with good access to outlets. They have wifi but you gotta ask for the password up front. Unique coffee drinks. I got the Principessa - the white chocolate and raspberry latte. The quality of the coffee was good and the drink was pretty sweet which is what I was looking for that day. Just a friendly reminder to close the door behind you so the customers working there can stay cozy :)

The location of madman espresso could not be more prime - it sits between three popular bagel shops, providing such good quality coffee to serve those looking for a good bite and sip - both the latte and Americano were absolutely delicious. the espresso was rich and deep. doesn't taste burnt at all. - it's a pretty large space with seating for probably 15 people. it was quiet and the drinks were out quickly. - they have pistachio milk and macadamia milk, which I thought was super fun. I am not a fan of upcharges for alternative milks but at least they didn't charge me for a splash of almond milk in the Americano.

Truffle shuffle and principessa
Jessie K.

Outlets are well spaced out given the seating structure. The tables by the front windows are super cute. There is wifi but it's not advertised and you wouldn't know it unless you asked (which is good because there's fast turnaround). Of course, make sure to buy something! Music isn't too loud, good vibes all around. This feels like a hidden gem to get work done. Only thing is the lack of bathroom, which many mentioned. Temp is good but the door needs to keep being closed manually, otherwise it gets drafty. Very clean, fast service. I didn't realize the food is different at each location--this one doesn't have any of the bagel/egg options, but I did get a focaccia sandwich (truffle shuffle) for $9.50. Barista offered to heat it up, but it was not very warm, which I didn't mind. Still yummy. Also got the principessa, which I loved. Not scalding, perfect ratio of flavoring that wasn't too overpowering/syrupy. Interested in trying all their other drinks, and the pastries also look delicious.

Loved the coffee here! The service wasn't super friendly but I think that's just New York for ya, baby. I got the Madmancino iced and it was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in the city

The space is edgy, bordering on freeform madness and I love it. They have a classic and signature menu. I have to admit I may have ordered the wrong drink as I got a matcha when clearly the name of this shop should have prompted me to order an espresso, but I was on espresso overload trying out a couple of other places earlier. The matcha is deep so that is good. Definitely worth a try. Casual. Indoor seating. Please come and create your own experience.

carmelisa iced
Elizabeth B.

Found the theme of this spot humorous and enjoyed their creative drinks. I appreciated that they provide seating as that's not something easy to find in this area. We ordered a Carmelisa and a Vanillaria, and both were decent lattes. They use Monin brand syrups, not sure about the espresso beans. Staff were kind, cozy warm cafe vibes on a cold day, simple and enjoyable espresso drinks.

Everything bagel with Salmon
Christine H.

Fantastic coffee and Bagel creations - friendly service and great ambiance. Great for a stop, relax and enjoy!

Maria G.

Is a great spot to enjoy quality coffee in the heart of Midtown. The atmosphere is modern and welcoming, perfect for a quick break or getting some work done. The espresso is rich and well-crafted, and they also offer fresh options for breakfast or a light lunch. A solid stop if you're near Penn Station or exploring the area.

Carameliza
Steve W.

Ordered a caramellisa - espresso, caramel and sea salt. Asked them to go light on the caramel and it was damn near perfect. Best coffee I've had in the city in a long while. Fantastic .

Absolutely nothing good to say! Bagel w/cream cheese was inedible but the worst part was the Chai Latte and Pumpkin Spice latte. Just no!

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 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!

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.
