good banana matcha and noa's matcha. no wifi tho so not ideal for working but great for catching up

Cute place m! On the smaller size about 6-8 tables but I liked the vibe Fairly priced for the area We went around 1130am on a Sunday and it was pretty full but we were able to get some seats on the couch Not great for big groups The breakfast burrito was big and really good only downside was that it took 15min to come (they told before ordering but still felt a bit long) The latte was different but I enjoyed it All the pastries are really big and yummy perfect for sharing read more

Ok update I do see why the reviews are low after coming back for a second visit. The ambiance is genuinely cute and the kind of place you want to like. But I ordered a French toast latte which tasted off. My friend thought it tasted like medicine :/ The chicken grain salad was also a letdown, nothing that felt worth coming back for food-wise. Rooting for them to work out the kinks because the space has charm. Just not quite there yet for me.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

2.5/5 for the drink I got, not experience I came here bechase this place has been on my list for awhile now. I got a hot French toast latte. It tasted nothing like French toast. It was just sweet but on the more artificial side. And $10 for a drink is criminal - especially since it wasn't even good. Reminds me of the tiramisu latte from Fellini Coffee - not worth it. The place is quite small. There are 7 two person tables that are all packed next to each other. The cafe is connected to a hotel so the bathroom is actually in the back by Reception. I probably won't be back just because seating was hard to come by and the coffee wasn't even good. read more

Cute cafe with solid drink concepts but execution kinda missed the mark. I was debating between the noa latte and the noa matcha, both of which involve additional spices. Ultimately got the noa matcha that featured cinnamon cream top and date tahini. Even though the date flavors came through, with a subtle almond instead of tahini taste, it didn't quite match the diluted matcha. I'm also not sure if the cinnamon meshed well with the matcha either. I'm curious to see if the noa latte would be a better combo. Most pastries were also sold out by the time I arrived in the late afternoon. In terms of the space, it is located on the ground floor of a hotel so one area has a good amount of seating but customers can also use the hotel lobby. There are a couple of tables outdoor as well. I loved the artwork on the walls and the colorful decor! People were using their laptops on the weekends but not sure about their wifi situation. Staff were friendly. Drinks came out at a reasonable time. read more

Slightly snarky staff who wouldn't entertain a modification to my drink (I asked for whipped cream on a hot version of the drink, which I didn't think was unreasonable)... Ended up giving up after the server scoffed and got the iced version even though this weather is just begging for a warm drink. Pumpkin spice latte was not bad but half my cup was indeed just ice and quickly watered down the drink. read more

Noa was across from our hotel so we stopped by both days for a morning coffee. I tried their Noa matcha, which was impeccable, never had I tasted the nutty notes of tahini with matcha and I am forever changed. We also tried the Winter Berry, which was a stand-up berry matcha. Americano was also pretty solid. Bonus points that the business is Persian-owned and incorporated some great Persian images into their decorations. Staff was also incredibly chill. read more

This place is the most inconsistent coffee place I've ever been to. I think there's only one guy that makes it well, and it's too expensive to be this inconsistent Breakfast burrito is good (consistently!) but has gotten a bit too oily recently Pastries are mid tbh worth trying if you're in the area and want to, but nothing worth going out of your way for Just don't get the coffee here!!

I tried the strawberries and cream cinnamon roll first, and it was disappointing. It was dry and way too sweet. I decided to give them another try and got the original cinnamon roll, and I was actually blown away. It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, but I loved the sticky bottom and how plush it was. The sweetness level was also perfect. I would come here just for the cinnamon roll! The drinks also look great, though, and it's a cute little cafe to sit and chat in. The staff were so friendly and attentive. read more

The seasonal drinks are incredible! I've tried the French toast latte and apple pie latte. Apple pie is my favorite. I love the flavor of it and it's sweet which I love. It's a small space but cozy if you're able to grab a table. I find myself coming here often due to proximity. While it is on the pricey side, I find the speciality drinks to make it worth it once in a while. read more

This place had been trending on TikTok for a while so me being heavily influenced needed to try. We came here on a Sunday around noon and the place was packed. Note: the coffee shop is essentially inside a hotel lobby with minimal seating. It took a while for us to order but once we did our drinks came out pretty fast. We both ordered matchas (I ordered mine with oat milk and vanilla and paid around $9). The drink wasn't anything special, although I may come back to try the baklava latte. We didn't order any of the pastries/sweet treats but might have to try those as the cinnamon buns seem to be a hit. read more

I visited on a Sunday morning, and I don't understand the hype for this cafe. It is inside a hotel, and it was super cramped just to get to the register. The iced matcha latte I got was not great. The price was average ($7) for a matcha latte in Manhattan. They still had Valentine specials available such as the strawberry matcha latte. Their pastries looked good. There was a pistachio croissant and a cardamon bun. Perhaps the experience would have been better if we could have gotten a seat. read more

This is a cute coffee shop that is connected to the HGU hotel. It has some seating indoor and out but it is not spacious so tables are close together. I had a nice person help me decide which mind of drink to get as I was between two. I chose the french toast iced latte. I asked if it could be made on the less sweet side. The barista said sure. When I got it,it was still pretty sweet but I was in a rush. I had half of it and then felt badly but three the rest out as I could not finish it. The price for this drink was somewhat steep. Remembered that it was connected to a hotel so obviously prices would be higher. I did like the cups that they are served in. The barista was nice. read more

The cutest little Cafe. Small space, I was only there for take out this day. Counter staff was friendly and they were working quicky to handle the line. I got 3 cinnamon rolls for a morning meeting of 3 people. However the rolls were large and honestly we could only finish 1 among all of us. They are really good but bigger than I expected and very sweet but in a good way.(shareable) I can't see myself fishing one in a single setting. So pro, we ended having leftovers. I'm not sure if this is a cafe that's a part of the adjacent hotel but it somehow looked like that from the inside. There no accessibility access entrance at the front to the cafe. There a table and chair for sidewalk dining. read more

Not worth the money or the hype. Got an iced pistachio latte for something like $9? If I'm paying $9 for a coffee, it needs to be extremely good. This just wasn't. It was watered down, not great flavor in general. Service was good and the shop is cute/trendy, but it's nothing special. read more

Perhaps my order got messed up. I looked forward to ordering their Baklava Latte but unfortunately it failed my expectations. No toppings like all the pictures I've seen.

Noa is small and quaint. It was a rainy cold morning but we were able to find a table. There are about 8 tables in the cafe. You order at the counter and pickup at the counter as well. The service was typical NYC, not overly friendly but efficient. A customer was leaving his table without discarding his trash and an employee yelled out to throw his trash away. Probably could have went up to the customer rather than having everyone hear the instructions. The rolls were decent. Neither of us cared for the taste of the icing. The cinnamon roll was definitely better than the cocoa bun which lacked flavor. We also had hot chocolate which was very good and hot tea. Next time we would try something else instead of the cocoa bun. read more

Cute cafe around Ktown in NYC. The cafe is dimly lit but nicely decorated. Could be a nice date spot! The staff were all pretty young and very friendly. The menu is creative and love the seasonal drinks they offer. I tried the lavender matcha (Lavender Fields) this time and really enjoyed the drink. I personally like their coffees more than their matchas, but would love to come back and try more of the drinks. read more

noa a café - Lavender Fields (matcha) - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered: Iced Lavender Fields (~$8): matcha latte with vanilla and house-made lavender syrup and purple sweet potato powder; with oat milk (~$1) Aya's take: Cute, cozy cafe located in the lobby of the HGU Hotel. I liked the picture frames sprinkled throughout the seating area - it's really giving NYC vibes. Service was a bit all over the place with workers stopping in the middle of making a drink to do something else. The Iced Lavender Fields is one of my go-to's at any coffee shop. Matcha latte with lavender? Yes please! The drink is super pretty but the powder started to settle pretty quickly. I wish they had mixed it better. As far as taste, it was light, creamy, with subtle sweetness. It was a good try but for ~$9, I expected better quality and taste. read more

noa a café - Iced Lavender Fields (~$8) - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Drinks are average or just a tad below average in my opinion. They're more on the pricy end but I like to think of it as pay for admission, as the cafe itself is rather nice. Decent amount of seating although I must warn--you are in close quarters with other parties, so if conversing about controversial topics or crude ones, I'd err with caution. Baristas are pretty whatever--not particularly friendly nor warm. You can tell they're trying to get their hours in and dgaf. Decent and quiet location that's both an intimate size without being stuffy or impossible to enjoy. I would recommend stopping by here for a treat with a friend if you'd like to take a break or perhaps catching up on a little work. I don't really see it as a comfortable place to to hangout for more than an hour or two. read more

We stopped by noa for a quick coffee and bite. I saw the viral crookie and was excited to give it a try! However, the crookie was a sore disappointment. It cost $8 and was served cold though I asked for it served warm. Finally, I expected a fusion of the two baked goods, but it was actually just a cookie in the middle of a croissant. Unfortunately, neither were particularly the best of their class. The cashier was pleasant though! Edit : editing as I later realized the cookie was almost entirely raw in the middle. read more

The service of the cafe was great. The decoration on the inside was cute. However they did forget about my order, I had waited about 25minutes for my order. There was no long line before or ahead of me. I had stopped by just to grab and go. But it didn't feel worth the money. Bread was too hard, too crunchy and difficult to chew. My jaw was getting tired from chewing so much. Tired their summer strawberry drink. Tasted like a very artificial strawberry milk drink. read more

I ordered the crookie and a maple latte. I would definitely come back for the crookie. I wasn't a huge fan of the latte. I couldn't taste any flavor (my friend who ordered the cookie butter latte said the same thing). I usually like when coffee isn't very sweet, but would still like to taste some flavor. They had about 6 tables for seating and the staff was very nice. A good place to stop if you're on the way to penn station! read more

I mean, how can you NOT be attracted to the drinks advertised in its pictures?! I ordered myself a blueberry matcha. Overall, not too sweet, drink was definitely IG-worthy & service was on point.

Came here to work early Tuesday morning to snag a seat, and the Knafeh Pistachio Croissant I've been seeing everywhere! To wash my pastry down, I tried their banana pudding latte as well. The croissant was more dry than I expected it to be, but overall it was sweet and tasty. The coffee had a strong taste of banana with banana chunks, so be prepared for that when ordering this specific latte! The seating area is cozy with nice couches and smaller tables. I've only noticed one outlet here next to the cashier table, but wifi feels pretty strong! read more

The cookie croissant is absolutely worth the hype! I had a few bites and then ended up reheating it the next day, and even microwaved, it was delicious. I also ordered the coconut cloud matcha beverage, which is an interesting idea that I was excited to try out. I liked the idea in concept and the flavors were good, but the matcha cold foam seemed... off. It had a strange texture, almost sandy, like maybe it had been sitting out for a while? The staff was nice and the space, despite being small, was cozy and cute. I work nearby so would definitely stop back in for a treat and maybe to try a different beverage from their extensive menu! read more

Had a delightful breakfast at Noa A Cafe today. The cafe is attached to the Nomad Hotel. The establishment is small with a few tables and chairs. That said, it can get cramped if you dine in. It's decorated very simply, nothing special. Ambiance rate 6/10. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick for the shelf pastries and drinks. However, if you order from their breakfast menu, it takes a while for the food to arrive (15-20 mins). Service/staff rate 6/10. My boyfriend and I ordered... 1. Cookie Butter Latte: This had a nice cookie butter flavor, very smooth and creamy, especially the cold foam. However, it tasted very bitter towards the end of the drink and started to lack its cookie butter flavor. I wish they added more cookie butter flavor for it to distribute evenly throughout the drink. Rate 7/10. 2. American Cinnamon Roll: This was so soft, and had an incredible sweet taste, especially its icing. It was a fair portion too. Rate 9/10. 3. Crookie: This was average; the croissant could've been buttered, and it just had a regular tasting chocolate chip cookie. The bottom of the croissant with the half baked cookie was really delicious though. Rate 7/10. *One recommendation for both the cinnamon roll and crookie is it would've tasted way better if it was warmed up, which I would've wished for.* 4. Breakfast Burrito: This was very flavorful; I especially enjoyed the spicy chipotle sauce and chorizo. The tortilla was nice and crispy. It was also filling. Rate 8/10. Overall, the prices are a little bit high for these food items. However, it's kind of expected for being in NYC. Nevertheless, it's a yummy place to try if you're in the area. read more

I stopped by here because of the great reviews and it was worth it (plus the crookie was life changing!) It's a cute spot inside a hotel, though they aren't affiliated with the hotel and have their own additional entrance. Seating: They have several small tables, so it's really a good place for a solo person or maybe a couple. I didn't realize it, but if you go into the hotel hallway, there's another seating area with couches. I wish I knew about that before I left! Coffee/food: They do have solid warm breakfasts. I didn't order one but noticed some other people had and they were big portions! I personally had a crookie and OMG ! It is a must have! I also had a latte which was fine. They have self service for water as well but were out of cups and never restocked them despite people asking They also were slow at cleaning tables. It was mostly all self service, but during my time there several patrons left their tables a mess. Neither of the staff members were in any rush to clean it up despite not having much seating available. read more

Latte was awful. Taste like water and cost $10.32. Do not recommend. Threw the whole thing in the trash

We walked in at around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon and the person in front of us got the last crookie, but they said that the next batch was coming out in 10 mins. It's a pretty small cafe but has a nice lounge area across the hall since it's connected to a hotel. The cookie croissant was soooo rich and tasted like cookie dough inside of a flaky croissant. It was warm but so heavy so we shared it amongst the 5 of us. The next day it was still super good warmed up! read more
