Naur is one of those hidden gems that's easy to miss but hard to forget once you try it. I first got the Thai tea with oat milk, which was super smooth and flavorful--not overly sweet like a lot of other places. I ended up coming back just to try the Thai tea without milk, and honestly, both versions were great in their own way. You can really taste the tea itself, which I appreciated. The inside of the shop is pretty small, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot, but they do have a nice outdoor patio if you want to chill for a bit. It's a great place to take a break, catch up with a friend, or just sip on something that doesn't taste like pure sugar. If you're into cleaner, more balanced Thai drinks, this spot's definitely worth checking out. read more

I've seen this spot pop up all over my socials, and as NYC's first dedicated Thai tea café, I was excited to check it out. The space has a minimalist setup and a short menu focused on Thai-style tea drinks and snacks like kaya toast. There was a bit of a wait to order and receive drinks -- likely because only two people were working and each drink is made to order. Signature Thai Tea I really wanted to like this, but I didn't. You can clearly taste the Thai tea leaves -- which is great -- but it leaned too bitter and lacked balance. I felt it needed more milk and sweetness to round it out. There was also a thick, astringent finish after every sip. It made the drink hard to enjoy. 1/5 read more

Came here on impulse while in the area because Ive been hearing so many people rave over it and I really liked it! Like everyone says, the thai tea here is not too sweet like most restaurants make it (although they do have a sweet option if thats what you're looking for). I actually found this tea to have a bit of a nutty taste to it that was very delicious! Loved the inside it was so warm and inviting and on a nice summer day the doors are open to the public park space right next to it. Need to come back and try the toasts because it smelled so good in there. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I'd seen so many pictures and videos online, but the signature tea missed the mark for me and my friends. When they say it's a signature thai tea latte, read it as emphasis on the latte part because the drink itself tasted very milky. The drink was both tea forward and milk forward. The tea was strong enough that it almost tasted slightly bitter because the drink itself is not sweet. This is not necessarily a bad thing-- I don't have a huge sweet tooth, so the sweetness level wasn't an issue for me, but I think Thai Iced Teas have a reputation of being a very sweet drink. So if that's what you're looking for, this likely isn't the drink for you. The drink color is also more of a brown than that vibrant orange that Thai Iced Tea usually is. Basically I think when you come here you should manage expectations. For me, I thought the cafe was a Thai Tea cafe, and so to receive a drink that didn't really taste like a Thai Iced Tea was very disorienting. I think nuar offers a new take on Thai Tea that may be worth a try at least once for Thai Tea lovers, but I don't think it's for every palate. I'd love to try their ice cream though! read more

Their ice creams come in one scoop with two toppings included. I got the coconut ice cream and added dried coconut flakes and red bean paste. The texture was denser than I expected and looked like it had a lot of solid ingredients mixed in. I was surprised it came in yellow instead of the usual white. The coconut flavor was a bit milder than I thought, maybe because I was having it with their Thai tea latte. I'd definitely go back for another round. I want to try their pandan ice cream next time too. read more

A very cute place to grab a sweet treat (ice cream) or a drink (non-alcoholic). I came on a Tuesday after work, and it was busy! The actual business is a bit of a narrow space but there are a few chairs. There are more places to sit outdoors since it's next to a little public space with benches. I ordered the Thai iced tea ice cream, and to be honest I am not sure it was worth the price ($8+) since it was pretty small (it was good though) so I would probably just get a drink next time. I liked that the Thai iced tea drink was not bright orange nor overly sweet like at some places. read more

The Thai tea w/ coconut cream cold foam (one of their summer seasonal specials) was so light and refreshing and one of my favorite summer bevs. We also got the Kaya toast.

Ordered the Pandan Kaya Toast. This is such a cool dessert that is worth trying, the bread is perfectly toasted and drizzled with a pandan condensed milk on top that adds a touch of sweetness. It's visually appealing and tastes just as you would expect. Definitely would recommend getting this if you can't decide. Location is a very slim storefront but with lots of depth going inside; it's located next to a small park so there is plenty of shaded seating area on concrete. read more

This place is such a gem! First off the two staff members I interacted with were so friendly! I saw someone post about this spot on Instagram and I knew I had to make this my first stop when I was back in NYC. I few years ago I spent time studying in Thailand and while I was there I fell in love with Thai tea and unfortunately have not found a great spot for it by me yet but I crave it all the time - so I had to stop at nuar as soon as I heard abkj! Their tea is sooooo good! I got just the signature Iced Thai tea latte and it was refreshing and exactly what I wanted. It was not overly sweet (which is how I like mine), the flavor was fantastic. Also the space itself is simple but adorable. The artwork along the walls, the little ordering window. It's just a gorgeous spot! Highly recommend planning a stop at nuar! read more

I've been seeing this place on TikTok and finally got to try it! I ordered the Thai tea latte with oat milk and the pandan Kaya toast. The Thai tea latte wasn't too sweet but it's definitely more on the milky side (which makes sense because it has milk vs. other Thai tea might just have condensed milk). I appreciate that they have a lactose free option! The pandan Kaya toast was also good but I'd recommend eating it fresh. I had one piece and it was nice and toasted but I closed to box to walk back a few minutes to my office and then they got soggy and didn't taste as good. There's a nice seating area outside next to the shop as well! read more

My iced signature Thai tea latte was delicious and perfectly balanced and "not too sweet". My waiting period was about 5 minutes while others who ordered food were waiting 15+ minutes but it's expected with new cafes with high volume so I'm satisfied and the staff seem friendly! Connected to the capitol plaza open to the public, this is a great spot to chill and enjoy the weather with plenty of seating and shade. The prices did seem a bit steep so I did not get the nearly $9 kaya toast since I have kaya jam and toast at home at the moment to satisfy my addiction lol.(ps if you haven't tried kaya with paratha and sunny side up eggs with WHITE pepper powder you haven't lived!)

Really happy to see a new dessert spot in the area. It's a small shop with just a counter for small groups (no full seating), but it's great for a quick stop. I had the Kaya toast -- little toast cubes with Kaya jam -- and paired it with Thai tea ice cream since they were out of pandan. The Thai tea ice cream is on the richer, slightly bitter side -- not super sweet or milky like other places. Portions were solid, prices felt fair, and the staff was super friendly. Love that we've got this kind of dessert in Manhattan now -- saves me a trip to Queens! Will likely come back to try the pandan ice cream when the crowds die down. read more

I was intrigued by the fact that this place sells mainly Thai tea flavored drinks and desserts so I gave it a shot! Situated next to a public space, it's a good area to grab a drink/dessert and chat. There's roughly seating for 6 people inside. The decor is cute and simple, very clean and the worker was very friendly! Onto the drink and hence the 4 and not 5 star. I was underwhelmed. I'm surprised the signature Thai tea drink was not as orange as regular Thai teas; I've brewed Thai tea before and it was very orange even on your fingers. This makes me think it's a blend of Thai tea with some other black teas perhaps Ceylon or assam. As I drank more, it reminded me a lot of Hong Kong style milk tea. From the less orange color, to the stronger black tea taste, each sip I took felt less and less like the Thai tea I was hoping for. Personally, it did not satisfy my Thai tea expectations. I could be back to try their dessert but for now, it's a cute place to check out if you're in the area and want some Thai flavors! read more

Cute stop for a sweet treat and Thai Tea. Nice place I heard about online. The workers are nice and the cafe is very clean and minimal. I came around four and it was pretty busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is nice for spring and summer time. Giving 3 stars because (1) it was a bit pricey. I bought a large (~16oz) Signature Thai Tea and the Thai Tea Toast with Ice cream on top + tip of course which came out to 27. I'm not extremely bothered by the price, it just caught me off guard. (2) The Thai Toast is unsurprisingly very delicious and very sweet. A bit too sweet for my liking and will make you very thirsty. (3) The Thai Tea is good but less sweet for my personal preference. It's still very good. Overall I enjoyed my first visit to Naur and will be coming again during the summer when in the area! read more

I usually love thai tea but this place's thai tea latte tasted off (?) and not very delicious. There was not that taste of the condensed milk and it tasted almost artificial and left a bad aftertaste. I shared it with my friend and he also did not like the taste and we ended up throwing out more than half of our drink ://.

I tried some unique drinks 1st was the strawberry Boba strawberry milk tea. The strawberry taste was distinct yet balanced and not overly sweet. Also there was not an overly artificial taste. As with all locations the Boba is the star. The strawberry Boba has a nice sweet chew that had great texture and bounce. The green tea was strong tea flavor without being bitter it was not overly sweet I will definitely recommend this location specifically because of the seating and ambiance Service was quick and packaging was efficient

Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

Just got some tarts here so my review isn't reflecting what they're known for or typically have. I…read moreliked these ok because it was creamy and light, not too sweet either, but it may be the crust part that I wasn't as much of a fan of. There are lots of other tart places that do something sinilar and didn't really think these were that memorable. But read this keeping in mind I didn't try to cake items so that product may be better if all you're looking for is a light fluffy dessert that's not too sweet. Try something else here! Just did take out option here so not much to ambiance or service from my experience to speak on.

All three flavors that we tried of cheese tarts were good (original, ube, and sesame), with an okay crust. Similarly the cheesecake was okay, and the black sesame flavor didn't mesh well with it. Otherwise a fun little treat! Two bar seats at the window and a tall table with no seats in the center. People seemed to mostly grab and go, so there was enough space for our group of five to stand around the table and chat over our treats.

The place has been completely redone since then with a brand new interior and still looks fairly new, in addition to being very spacious. The food was excellent too. From previous reviews, it appears most people come here for the ramen, which are about $19 a bowl. My friends and I tried the tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and a butadon (pork rice bowl). Everything was delicious and flavorful. However, four stars is an accurate assessment. I've had better tasting ramen with a more flavorful broth, and a larger portion with more meat at slightly lower prices. The food is good but not the best either.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
