Staff behind the counter were very nice and helpful with a recommendation. I decided on the double espresso and my wife went with a cold brew. The espresso had great crema and the flavor was very smooth! My wife enjoyed the cold brew as well. On the way out, had a nice conversation with a gentleman that seemed to be the owner. Definitely a coffee shop with a good vibe!

This is near Washington Square park and the NYU area so I am sure many students probably come here. Anyways I got a decaf iced latte with Lavender syrup. I was going to get Rose but the barista said it would taste more sweeter and I didn't want that. The Barista was very nice. I loved the cup my drink came in. Seems to be that it can be reusable. And the lid you can close it if you want. I would come back here.

I really liked the plant decor and the amount of natural lighting, and how they had games like chess and uno that you could play for free. The drinks themselves were just ok. The matcha latte had ok flavor, but the freddo cappuccino had a bit of a metallic aftertaste. However, I would come back again for the ambiance.

Got myself a Cafe Lyria which is their Greek espresso with honey and oatmilk. I typically get my lattes with less ice but I actually would not recommend it for this drink because it does help dilute the espresso and the sweetness. It was strong and tasty overall. The decor was very cute and aesthetic with the high ceilings, giant floor to ceiling windows, greenery, brick walls and wooden furniture. Good amount of seating indoor and outdoor - perfect for a chill hangout or to get some work done. Staff were polite. Drinks came out quick despite a long line on a weekend morning.

The drink looked very pretty and I was in the mood for that. I stepped inside and immediately it was a tight fit with a lot to look around. There was roasting coffee bean machine on one side with a lot of Roasting Plant merchandise on another wall. There were different types of croissant sitting inside the display glass. I didn't get one though and just got my blueberry matcha latte. The blueberry syrup was all the way at the bottom when I got it and had to stir and mix it with the rest of the matcha. The latte was not sweet at all and had subtle blueberry that wasn't strong inside the drink. Everything was light. Going to try out their latte next time I come here to taste their aroma and fresh coffee beans, which is what Roasting Plant is all about.

I had about ten lattes over the course of my trip and every single one was perfect. I ordered the bourbon vanilla latte and it was absolutely incredible. Service is super fast too, you are in and out with a latte in about three minutes which is ideal when you are exploring the city. What makes this spot even cooler is that there is a really rad clothing store in the back which makes it a fun little discovery every time you walk in. Great coffee, great vibes and a hidden shopping moment all in one. If you are staying in the LES this needs to be your go to morning stop.

I was up early and looking for a coffee shop open in my neighborhood. Saw that Ludlow coffee supply…read moreopens at 7 so I strolled over. I entered at exactly 7:01am, and said 'hello' to the girl behind the register. She proceeds to stare at me without so much as a reply and then shares an eye roll with her co worker, as if my mere presence there somehow offended her. I tried again: "good morning," I said- to which she finally replied, with quite the affect: "what can I get you" Truly the only thing I could reason was that the barista was bothered that a customer came in as soon as they opened and she somehow thought it appropriate to not only ignore a friendly greeting, but to quietly (very visibly) gripe with her colleague about it. Hate to break it to the barista there, but the place opens at 7, so maybe dont act so flabbergasted that customers might enter and do something crazy like say "hello" and ask for a coffee... Maybe I'm getting old, but I find the Gen Z affect truly shocking sometimes... they seem to think they can behave with total impunity, broadcasting without shame their inane, acidic, and constant state of 'omg I am not ok right now.' They throw it at anyone they please, all with a complete disregard for simple human decency. I must say, I did have a pleasant remainder of my day. In its own peculiar way, perhaps it's not a bad thing to have such a foul experience first thing in the morning - it can only get better from there !

((4.75 stars)) if…read moreyou're in NoLita, have time, and in need of well-made coffee, then stop by % Arabica. i have been here a few times in the past and more often recently...it really depends on if i have things to do that involve traversing Prince Street. the airy coffee shop lets in a lot of natural light and has good lighting inside to keep the interior vibe bright, energetic, but not frenetic. the space exudes a clean modern aesthetic--off-white plus warm woods. a really good amount of seating in the forms of a large sofa area as well as the stools at the front windows. while the Arabica is often busy, the interior has that neat organized energy even with people milling about waiting for their coffee. while they do serve a small variety of baked items like croissants and brownies....the star is the menu of finely crafted coffee drinks. if you enjoy the flavor of coffee, order an espresso or Americano--the coffee doesn't miss. i believe it's a medium roast of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffee beans, but i think they have different bean choices or two if you prefer a different roast/blend. the Americanos, iced Americanos and espressos have a really satisfying flavorful coffee --kinda dark chocolatey, somewhat nutty, a low acidity, and almost a natural sweetness. really good stuff. the baristas here do not rush coffee drinks and that is a big reason why the drinks are consistently well-made beyond the talent of the staff. even when there is no line to the order counter, you'll often have a little wait because typically people sitting or standing around are all waiting for their orders. but the wait is worth it. trust. i will say the the folks typically taking orders feel a bit frosty and not authentic in interactions--just my read on the vibe. it's always a friendly veneer not a deep warmth especially if you have questions about the coffee roast or blend...maybe it's because lack of knowledge but often times it feels like they're distracted. but in their defense, everyone behind the counter seems to be doing 8 million things beyond a singular role which is a great and all, but I feel like this is why when i order let's say an "iced Americano"--the order will be inputted as a "hot Americano" as this happened the last time i was here. when i pointed this out, it still took a bit of time for my order to get corrected mainly because the counter person seemed to be doing too much or is tasked with doing too much. again, not a big deal but this is not the first time this happened. nonetheless, eventually i got my iced Americano and all was good. another snag ate % Arabica is the coffee condiment area. it's small and neatly arranged, but it ends up getting too crowded with people taking an exorbitant amount of time lallygagging while adding simple syrup or a lid to their coffees or the area is just too cramped because often the line to order snakes across this area which is only a couple of feet away. it's not the greatest placement for the condiments or lids imo. this can be (not always) be fairly frustrating when the shop is busy and you've already waited for you coffee and now you have to wait for someone to lacksadaisically pout a lid on their coffee, add sugar, their drink, etc. these are not reasons to avoid % Arabica, but to temper expectations when it comes to when it's busy or you want some down-to-earth hospitality along with your coffee. all that said, this is must for your morning or afternoon caffeine fix when you want a drink that is carefully made and represents that in the pleasant flavor of their coffee.

Love where the shop placement is and the cafe itself it beautiful and minimalist. We ordered the…read moreKyoto latte and the Spanish latte. THE BEANS ARE SO DELICIOUS! It has a nice goodness but still some sweet notes to it. I loved the first sip and came back the next day.
