Came for the Pandan Wafer, but they were sold out! It was probably my fault for showing up 40 min before closing, but I had hoped for a miracle. Sigh. Next time. Instead, I got the pandan ice-cream with toasted coconut and cigar cookie. It was creamy, not too sweet and full of the subtle nuttiness of this amazing plant. Yum. Now I HAVE to come back for its wafer cousin. The space has some seating for maybe eight people total, but it's claustrophobically narrow and you'll be playing twister just to get to the trash can.

Note- Shorter review than most that I do, as I only ordered 1 thing as a snack/drink. I went here a good while back to this small Thai dessert and coffee cafe for a bit of a pick-me-up while walking. Meaning "deliciously blended," they offer a small selection of Thai-inspired beverages, including tea and coffee, along with a handful of desserts, such as toasts and ice cream. The staff was friendly, and the place inside, while small, seems like a nice place to work, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. I went with the Signature Blend Thai Tea Latte, available hot or iced, with the usual coffee/tea sizes: 8 to 12 oz for hot and 12 to 16 oz for the large. I went with iced, and it was $7 or $7.50 depending on size, and I went with the latter. It was very tasty, with the tea flavor shining through, unlike most variants. It wasn't overly sweet from the various milks, with enough spices to make it distinctly the Thai version of this drink. For the same price point, you can also order it hot, without milk, or mixed with lemonade, along with an oat option for an extra dollar. This is a tasty little specialty shop. I would go back here and try the pandan toast or another drink.

I really enjoyed the thai tea and the toast we got. The flavors were good and not too sweet. Service was great and it's a cute shop! If I lived in NY, I'd come more often. This is what actual thai tea is btw so support :)!!

Adorable little cafe with seating and playing soft music. I had a Thai iced tea lemonade soda and it was very good! Make sure you ring the bell for service.

A cute Thai cafe with very friendly staffs and indoor/outdoor seating. The menu is amazing and the cafe even offer Nom Yen, which is a very nostalgic thai local drink. The drink was not overly sweet and we couldn't wait to come back again!

Pandan Kaya Toast, Pandan Ice Cream, thai tea pandan cold foam

Drinks and food were all intense with flavor. Loveeeee all the pandan. Would definitely order the same thing again or maybe try some other things. The worker we had was super sweet and recommended us their faves. Although small, its perfect for 1-2 people. Will be back for sure!!

Thai Tea Float, Thai Tea Latte

This place definitely focuses more on the Thai tea itself and less on sugar. Personally, it was too much for me, and I wasn't a fan because of the strong tea and lack of sweetness. I was looking forward to trying the banana pudding, but it was sold out by the time we got there. The kaya toast was unique, though I don't think it's something I would reach for again. Overall, bit of an underwhelming experience.

Dessert/Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 2.5/5 This is a cute, cozy cafe tucked away in Midtown, specializing in delicious Southeast Asian inspired flavors. The dessert and drinks are exceptional, though the prices can be a little steep What we tried: Thai Iced Tea (4.75/5): Absolutely loved this! It had a strong, authentic tea flavor and was perfectly balanced--sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely a must-order. Pandan Ice Cream (5/5): Five stars all the way. The pandan flavor was strong and natural, and it achieved that rare feat of being wonderfully rich without being excessively sweet. Kaya Thai Tea Toast (3.75/5): This was my least fave. While okay, I think it would be significantly better if it were served with a scoop of ice cream to complement the toast which is the parfait on the menu Tip: They offer a free Thai Iced Tea if you leave a Google review!

Cute shop walking distance from Madison Square Park and Herald Square. It is located right next to a small alley with benches outside. The inside is a long, narrow walkway with two tables and four chairs facing the park. People seem to grab and go or if they do sit down it's for a quick bite. They specialize in Thai Tea flavored items, but they also offer coffee and other products. I got a Thai Tea latte which is their version of the Thai iced tea, a scoop of Thai tea ice-cream, and the Thai tea kaya toast. The Thai tea latte comes in regular whole milk or oat milk for an extra dollar. The drink was milky and strong at the same time. It's not as sweet as other Thai iced tea. I saw a lady ask for more condensed milk in her drink. My boyfriend enjoyed the Thai tea latte though! The Thai tea ice-cream was my favorite out of the three items. It has strong Thai tea flavor with the sweetness of Ice-Cream, but it was not overly sweet to the point I cannot handle. It was honestly perfect. The kaya toast comes in pandan or Thai tea flavor. Ive always had kaya in it's original flavor or pandan flavor at home, so I decided to go for the thai tea. I like the flavor but I did not liked the toast. I think it was too airy and thick for my liking. I prefer it a bit more toasted. But overall, a very cute place. Would definitely be back if I'm craving Thai tea icecream or kaya. The server was very nice and accommodating too.

Soo cute and cozy! Loved the Thai tea ice cream and Thai tea hot chocolate, they have lots of creative winter drinks. I'd love to come back and try more drinks! The staff were soo kind. It's a small shop but has a bit of seating and lots of personality.

I liked the Thai tea latte hot with the $1 toasted marshmallows over it. The texture of the marshmallows is actually a perfect bed of fluff that slowly melts over the Thai tea. The toast was okay--I think it would have been better if it were actually fully toasted or some sugar caramelized the outside of it to add another layer of flavor. Mine was basically soft white bread with Thai tea flavored Kaya over it, which was a little too much one note sweetness for me by the final bite.

Absolutely love this place! This is a hidden neighborhood gem. If you think thai milk teas are always too sweet, then you must try this place's thai milk tea. It's so much more focused on the tea rather than the sugar. However, my favorite is always coming here for dessert. I love getting the parfait with thai milk tea drizzle and pandan ice cream. This place is always so cozy. It is a really small place though, so don't expect a place to sit all the time. If the weather is nice out, it is connected to a park you can sit at! The service might a little slow, but it's because it's run by two people (i think!) so I give them some grace for running the entire operation. They also have fun coin machines for art prints from a local artist (at the time of writing this). I think it's pretty cool they include the local community like that!

I stopped by Nuar before dinner in the area to grab a Thai Tea. You order at the register and they'll call your name when your order is ready. Service was super friendly and quick. I took my Thai Tea to the outdoor seating area and enjoyed it. It's much less sweet than the Thai Tea that is normally served in Thai restaurants and has less of the bright orange color. It was still enjoyable and creamy. Note: When I went around 5pm, they had sold out of many of their desserts!

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good. It's one of those desserts you probably wouldn't get every day, but worth trying at least once. Fun to share and definitely something different from the usual desserts.

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

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.

I needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

Paris Baguette is a neighborhood bakery café, bringing expertly crafted baked and brewed goods to the community. Their bakers, cakers, and baristas serve up handcrafted cakes, freshly baked pastries and breads, delicious Lavazza coffee, and more. One thing that really stood out is their PB Rewards program. It's super easy to join via their app, and you earn 1 point per $1 spent toward free pastries, drinks, cake slices, and more and i even got a free pastry just for signing up. I ordered a chai latte and my free strawberry croissant pastry filled with soft custard cream and strawberries, dusted with powdered sugar. The strawberry croissant had fresh strawberries and cream and it was the perfect breakfast after a run in Central Park. The second visit was to take advantage of their BOGO cake slice deal through the rewards app. It's a fun way to explore their cake selection without paying full price. I ordered the Blueberry chiffon cake slice filled with soft cream, topped with blueberry yogurt soft cream and blueberries and the strawberry soft cream cake slice, a vanilla cake filled with soft cream and fresh strawberries, topped with more berries. Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
