It's a small space but cute inside. Their syrups are organized to show what combinations other customers have enjoyed together. That inspired me to try cherry and caramel in my latte. Unfortunately I didn't feel it paired too well, but I do hope to come back and try others. The employees were so friendly and they have a punch card which is always a plus. read more

Great cup of coffee. I forgot to give a 5 star review 6 months ago when I was here. Housemade syrups and very decently priced. The service was fantastic. Staff there has very good awareness of clients needs. I didn't know where to tap to pay and it showed on my face. I picked up a sleeve for my coffee and was made aware there was one on the cup already. All done in a very pleasant way. Small space with no seating so don't expect to have a place to drink your coffee. You may be able to get away with drinking it standing up since they have a small area but I took mine to go. read more

Good coffee but not a place to hang out. It's a small space. They don't offer ceramic cups for your espresso, which was a bummer. But they have very fun drinks like a spycyboi, which my +1 enjoyed. We took our drinks to the park across the street and sat to enjoy them. Got a peek at the "secret" bar and hope to check that out on my next visit to the city. read more

I was looking for a new coffee shop to try out before my flight in New York, so I stumbled upon Patent Coffee in the area. I wasn't sure what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by a small, but cute, storefront. There isn't much seating (maybe 4 stools), so this may be more of a grab-and-go kind of coffee. Either way, I was happy to see that there were plenty of unique flavor options that were offered. I asked for the Fig/Vanilla latte, but was told they were out of vanilla syrup -- no big deal though! The barista was kind and they were able to make me just a Iced Fig Latte; I liked my drink and thought the flavor went well with the espresso and it wasn't too overbearing or strong. I would definitely come back here to try some of the other drinks (I'm seeing really good things about the rosemary latte) read more

It's my first time saw this coffee shop after working out. Great, definitely I wanted to try some new things out. I came in around 3:50pm and got the rosemary latte which seems pretty popular. But it seems they are about to close so the staff was quite unhappy to see me coming in and gave me some bad attitude. The drink was not even my type of drink. It's not worth to experience what I have experienced just to get this rosemary oat latte. Anyway, I wouldn't come back again. read more

This is a fantastic little coffee shop hidden away down a small flight of stairs. Inside there is not much room to sit and hang out, but there is a fantastic menu of coffee and espresso options and a little case of pastries. They normally run seasonal coffee specials, and right now it is the delicious cereal milk cappuccino. Their espresso is very smooth and subtle, which makes it a perfect accompaniment for a well made simple drink. I did try their toffee oatmeal walnut cookie and need to give it a shout out as well. It's small but worth every penny! read more

To top it off, their payment interface has a 20% tip by default and -clumsy me- I hit ok the second the barista swiveled the iPad to me to e-sign my receipt. Ended up paying $7.20 for the munchkin size cup of soup in the photo, not to mention it tasted like it had been stored in an old moldy antique trunk overnight. read more

No regrets, it was absolutely delicious. Do you love coconut? What about matcha? Are you up for an iced drink? If so, look no further, the coco matcha is the drink for you! Outside of their delicious coco matcha, the service was what really stood out about this place. The man working here when I went was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgable.

Overall: a great quick coffee alternative to Starbucks when you're on your way to work and need a caffeine jolt without sacrificing quality Coffee: The coffee here is top notch. They have three different blends each for a different purpose: espresso, drip and pour over. I've had espresso and drip and both blends are unique and flavorful. They change up the blends every so often so it's great to come back and see what they have. Service: honestly some of the friendliest staff I've met in a coffee shop. They're always eager to ask about your morning or compliment your outfit. Other things: This is NOT the place to sit down and work on your next novel. They don't have WiFi and they only have a few bar stools. However, I love this place for its coffee and service. You won't be disappointed going here! read more

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!

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.

Get your Brionut whenever you're near K-Town. This cozy & quiet donut shop also has a smaller cookie cousin (Dubai Chewy Cookie) to the Brionut. I pity the fool who doesn't get both.

I walked in on a fairly chilly night. I've seen Bear Donut a lot on social media, especially the…read moreowner of the store who also happens to be a dentist. 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!

It's a really big space - there's a lot of seating both downstairs and upstairs. The pastries are a little bit pricey. I tried the mango cake and also the black sesame rice cake. The rice cake was good, but the sporks they give you are completely useless against the rice cakes. The mango cake was about the blandest cake I've ever had in my life. One good thing is that, at least on the upper level, they do not rush you out whatsoever. You can literally stay for as long as you want.

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.

It was easy to get to walking down from the Bryant Park area. When we got there it was busy, but not too busy. My wife and I split a slice of chocolate mousse cake. The price is just right for the perfect size slice for sharing. On our prior trip it was a lot busier and it took a while to get a seat so we could eat. This time it wasn't as crowded and we were able to sit right away after getting our slice. On future trips to New York we'll definitely have to come back and try some of the other items available.
