I really loved the vibe of nuar - it's a simple dessert cafe. There are a few high top seats available but overall the space is quite small. The service was prompt and friendly. We ordered the Thai tea toast and I thought it was good but nothing mind blowing. The spread was decent but I think the flavor of the Thai tea wasn't strong enough and the bread was just ordinary. nuar is definitely a cafe that is great for aesthetics and social media and I would be willing to try their drinks, but not sure if I would order their toast again. 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

We came here around 5:30 on a Thursday and there was a lot of people. This place has a few seatings and it right near an outside seating space. We got the toast parfait with pandan ice cream. It was super delicious. I love the pandan ice cream with a good nice and refreshing pandan taste. The toast was drizzled with a thai tea syrup. I would come back again to try their thai tea and kaya toast. read more

nuar - Toast parfait - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

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

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and the service was quick. The shop has very limited seating but is connected to an open outdoor public space, so a lot of people were enjoying their drinks there. We both got the signature blend thai tea and were disappointed that that the thai tea flavor wasn't that strong, especially for the price we paid. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but I am curious to try the kaya toast. read more

Not too sweet-- the ultimate dessert compliment. The toast was warm, toasty and light, a perfect backdrop to the cold pandan ice cream that actually tastes like pandan. I loved the natural flavors coming through! 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!) However, I look forward to getting ice cream and drinks here with friends in the summertime! read more

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

Cute shop serving Thai tea and pandan desserts? Count me in! The Thai tea was strong and the Thai tea ice cream was creamy and had so much flavor! Staff was extremely friendly! There's minimal seating inside but there are a few benches directly outside the store. read more

Came for Nuar's thai tea ice cream, and it didn't disappoint. Grabbed the tea and toast as well and didn't regret it at all.

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

nuar - Signature 12oz - Desserts Near Me - New York, New York

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

Very cute small shop with an attached courtyard with seating. Ordered the hot thai tea with red bean with pandan toast which was delicious!

I saw so many videos hyping up this place so I came in with high expectations but was quickly disappointed. 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 ://. For the price of nearly $10, the taste was disappointing and not that great. The interior of the place is very cute but they failed to deliver on the main item they specialize in which makes me not want to come back or recommend. read more

Great ice cream and delicious drinks. Outside seating is very enjoyable during sunny days and the staff is very friendly.

I have been coming here since it first opened and they never disappoint. The taste of the tea, snacks, and all their seasonal items are always consistent and on point. The best thing about this place is there is something for everyone. It is truly a must try dessert place in NYC. Their kaya toast is literally amazing. Love love love their signature Thai tea also. 5 stars!! read more

a cute spot with a few seats indoors and plenty of seating otherwise outside -- the signature thai tea latte was a perfect cool treat and pick-me-up for a summer day, balanced with flavor and not overly sweet like thai tea can sometimes be. a little on the pricey side but ended up coming to less than $10 even with tip, which, with how things usually cost in nyc now, isn't too out of the ordinary especially for what you get. it did seem a little understaffed -- i saw one worker working the front and running between the register and the service area, but she was friendly and pretty quick with the drink even with the line. read more

I love this place so much! They have some of the best ice cream you will ever have! The pandan flavor is my favorite and I love the cookie crumbles and wafer topping options! If you are nearby make sure you don't skip this place, lovely people and the most delicious deserts/ice cream there is! read more

drink was good, flavors weren't too strong but it was a good amount of sweetness. price is a bit steep but it's a refreshing, creamy drink. you have to ring for someone to come which i did dislike. while sitting here alone, a person came in and took many napkins and straws and stayed in here for warmth. there's no cashier at the register so i feel like that should be changed. read more

Very cute place with local art and Thai desserts. The Thai the is very rich and caffeinated. Cant wait to try something new next time. It's right next to a park that has more seating too. No WiFi unfortunately. read more

Went afterwork on Thursday in May. There was no wow factor. Signature blend thai tea latte sold out by 430pm. PASSABLE but not great. Mediocre level. I will not be returning. Purchased: 1 Sweet Thai tea - sweet but doesnt taste thai tea 1 Thai tea lemonade - semi sweet&bubbly but no lemonade flavor 1 Thai tea kaya toast - any regular toasted bread with semi sweet dipping sauce. No distinctive flavoring Drinks wasn't too sweet. I like that part. BUT drinks doesnt have thai tea flavor either. Toast was cut up in mini bite size with dipping sauce. It wasn't too sweet like Nutella or jelly spread. BUT... it didn't taste anything like thai tea or Kaya flavor either. Eaten alot of kaya toast while on multiple trips to Singapore. Not the same taste or flavor. $25 plus $3 tip. This wasn't worth $28. Better options available to choose within walking distance that taste great. PRO: relaxing location- it is literally next to quiet 'park' with bench seating built around each of the trees outside. read more

Good prices, very high quality drinks, and great service. We went near closing and found seating and were able to chill and enjoy our drinks. Def will be going back! read more
