I don't know how, but somehow I got my coworker, who only swore by Ground Central mochas for the longest time, hooked to this place... I gotta say that it's nice to see more Asian companies and influence (no, the matcha at Blue Bottle doesn't count) sprouting in coffee shops. Pull Tab is a Chinese coffee shop chain that has done very well for itself by catering coffee to Asian taste buds since coffee was never popular until recent years. This is great for those of us who grew up in the West and are accustomed to Chinese tea, while having huge exposure to coffee. NYC has an already established, bustling craft coffee scene, where it would take more than aesthetics to be successful. I don't think osmathus or oolong-infused coffee (as amazing as they sound) are appealing enough for American consumers just yet, when it took a while for matcha to finally blow up here. As pretty as their drinks are, I wouldn't come here for my morning coffee run or even a mid-day pick-me-up, but to have a nice drink to relax with or try for fun. The price points are also on the higher side, but that's Bryant Park pricing, too. read more

Not for Serious Coffee Drinkers Saw this place all over IG--super popular with fancy aerofoam drinks and tons of creative, sugary flavors. Ordered an oatmeal latte hoping for good coffee. It tasted like plain oat milk: creamy, but basically no espresso or coffee flavor at all. Cute spot and friendly staff, but if you want real coffee, skip it. Might be better for their sweet teas or specialty drinks. Won't be back for coffee. read more

First stop on my wife and my NYC trip. After a long six hour drive we needed a caffeinated beverage for a pick-me up. I had bookmarked this spot as a must try due to the unique aerofoam drinks. Not something we have ever tried before made it more exciting. Easy to find and located close to our hotel. You walk inside the cute little shop with some seats available, but definitely limited. Staff were extremely friendly and didn't mind waiting for us to figure out what we wanted. I chose their Banana Aerofoam and my wife got their Matcha Aerofoam. After a small wait our drinks arrived. The Aerofoam is like a whipped espresso cloud and brings a new level of creaminess to a drink than just cold foam. Secondly I suspect it was made in part to be photographed and shared on social media cause it definitely catches your eye as unique. Both drinks had tons of flavor to them and were delicious. Even with mixing though it did seem to end with a lot of foam and ice. Which I am typically a person who even has all the ice, but the foam by itself did have a bitter taste so I skipped on that. I will say overall great shop with friendly staff and unique drinks worth checking out. Not my new favorite but glad we were able to try such a unique drink. I'm sure it's a chain we will be seeing more and more of coming to the US. read more

I heard about this popular Chinese coffee chain and wanted to check out their aerofoam drinks! The osmanthus oolong aerofoam was very tasty! I loved how the osmanthus latte was floral and not too sweet. The aerofoam was like a dalgona foam but more espresso forward. The bitter profile and coffee flavors complemented the oolong tea and sweet osmanthus flavors. I see that other Yelpers recommended mixing the drink, but I felt like the foam was thick and intact enough that each sip incorporated a good ratio of the foam and latte even without stirring. I appreciated how staff was helpful with recommending specific drinks and shared their top sellers. The space isn't that big with around 4 tables. Would love to try the classic aerofoam or maybe one of their matcha drinks next time! read more

Known for their aerofoam coffee (basically dalgona topping). Got their osmanthus oolong aerofoam and it was almost $9. The coffee itself was okay - not very strong of coffee but had a good oolong taste. The star of it was the foam - it was strong on coffee and osmanthus, and just a little bitter to balance the milky coffee underneath. It was nicely presented but overpriced for a coffee. There are a few small tables and they also offer kaya toast and other pastries. They share a bathroom with the hotpot restaurant behind them. Service was okay - a little slow but there were other orders as well. If you want to try a unique, fragrant coffee this place is great! But just okay if you want an espresso-forward place. read more

Pull Tab Coffee - osmanthus oolong aerofoam coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I've had Pull Tab bookmarked for a while and was super excited to finally get the chance to try it. The interior is quaint, with a few tables where you can sit and enjoy your coffee and/or pastries. I ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Aerofoam and, although it was on the pricier side, it was absolutely worth it. It was a chilly day, but the staff mentioned it tasted better cold so I went with their recommendation. The osmanthus oolong flavor was very prominent and paired surprisingly well with the espresso foam. It was also incredibly refreshing. I'll definitely be back! read more

This is a little spot tucked away, and I was pleasantly surprised to learn about espresso aerofoam? I got a matcha espresso which came in a nice cup (which I couldn't tell if it was plastic or metal at first glance??). The cup holders were also very nice and convenient. There's not too much seating but it was very clean and cozy and most importantly when we went, warm. read more

Spontaneous oolong tea discovery! I found this spot while searching for a new place to try oolong tea. It happened to be just one block from Bryant Park. The tea was rich and full of flavor. The store is super clean with cute seating areas, and the staff is friendly. I originally stopped in just for a drink, but I'll definitely come back to try their drink and toast combo. It's a must-visit if you're in the area! read more

Great spot for some strong coffee! They're known for their cold brew which has a tab that needs to be pulled... but I came for their Australian beehive coffee. The honeycombs make the coffee sweet! I love the chocolate hints that I got from the coffee too. The plus was that you can use alternative milk with this one and I got oat milk. I tried their coconut escape series as well. I would have enjoyed everything if I could have used alternative milk in them... that's my only qualm really. Because the drinks were amazing. But my dairy intolerance would not have allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. Would have to see a series where I could substitute the milk. :) I didn't get any of their snacks or pastries but if I'm back in the area, I do feel tempted to try. They looked great. I love their current campaign where they have these thin ceramic cups instead of paper cups. And they also have weekly social media giveaways. So if you're not following them on socials, I suggest doing that to get great deals. Overall, solid spot for coffee. Staff members were very kind and helpful when I wasn't sure what to order. I love the clean and sleek the design of the coffee shop too. I'd stop in if I'm back in midtown. read more

Always would stop by to get my favorite coffee drink at this cafe whenever I'm around the Bryant Park area. What's my favorite drink, you ask? Definitely the Iced Osmanthus Oolong Aerofoam (similar to Dalgona). Other Yelpers may have mentioned that their Classic Aerofoam or Mocha Aerofoam doesn't have that much coffee flavor, but that's because they haven't tried the Osmanthus Oolong one yet. The little shop has colorful skateboards plastered on the wall as decorations with the logo Pull Tab. I mean that is one of the reasons why I've decided to stop by and gone in at first when walking by the area. There's a coffee necklace hanging around the neck of each empty plastic bottle being displayed on the wall. Additionally, they're pouring their freshly made, in-house guava-pulped juice drinks in those plastic bottles. Pull Tab Coffee is shared with a hotpot place just right next door. Customers can actually use the restroom located at the back of the hotpot. Make sure not to throw away your receipt just in case the staff asks to see it for proof as a paying customer. Anyway, service of staff is often quick, polite and genuine. Both cash and card are accepted even though it might say differently online. There're few tables and seats inside. Mostly two-seaters with the exception of a table + three seats on the other (farther) side of the cafe. That's also the only table with a wall outlet right next to it. So umm, you better be fast & get ready to play musical chairs when you first step into the premise. Don't expect to be able to sit down for hours and do work on your laptop. Pull Tab is not the cafe for that. Otherwise, don't say I haven't warned you because be prepared to get stared at when it's packed & you're sitting there longer than you should. Prices are bit high but still considered as reasonable since it's so close by Bryant Park/Midtown/Hell's Kitchen. They offer iced/cold drinks in either rounded plastic or wider but shorter aluminum cups. With tax added, a standard medium aerofoam coffee-based drink should be around $8.17. I like taking a few drink pics here & there in different angles. Stirring it with a plastic straw, taking a gulp, am loving it, and keep drinking some more. Its rich aroma of the osmanthus & strong coffee taste bring me so much joy because this is such a great combo/concept for a viral coffee drink. The osmanthus perfectly balances out & seeps into the dalgona-like cream without overpowering any of the flavors. Gotta remember to ask for very light ice next time. Guava juice tastes only okay, nothing to write home about. Aside from selling aerofoam drinks and guava juice, Pull Tab also has cookies, croissants, and half-sliced butter sandwiches. Personally, I don't think it's worth it to pay $7-8 for only half cut up sandwiches no matter what filling is inside. Lastly, I would hopefully like to see way more options for the bites menu in the future. read more

The employees were helpful since I said we wouldn't be drinking it until tomorrow and have a long commute. They didn't put ice in the beehive one since the coffee wouldn't be diluted it. I wonder if that is what happened to the tea since it had ice and night have gotten diluted. They helped me put a paper on top of the cup and the cover over it so it didn't spill. See pictures. The employees are truly great. I'm not a coffee drinker though my friend is. I didn't realize the aeroform has coffee so my Earl Grey tea didn't taste right and I gave it to my friend to finish it since it cost money. My friend said the tea flavor was subtle that he wished it had more flavor. Maybe it was the melted ice. Though the Beehive Australian Coffee, it was love at first sip. Couldn't stop drinking it. The honey mixed well with the coffee. It was a bit of a surprise. The cups are tin so you can save the cups and repurpose it. I asked the employee what flavor of toast I should get, he said chocolate. It was ok since I'm not use to chocolate with butter. Think I wasn't to try the kaya next time. Never know until you try it. There are some seats there for you to enjoy your drinks and food. If you are in the neighborhood, give it a try. read more

My friends and I visited this cafe late afternoon, and we were able to snag one of the few tables just as another group was leaving. I ordered the Matcha & Matcha drinks, and honestly, it was one of the best matcha drinks I've ever gotten! The matcha flavor was strong and apparent and in both the foam and the drink itself. The foam was also rich and paired really well w/ the drink. My two friends ordered the classic latte w/ foam. Also very delicious! Finally, one of my friends ordered the butter toast, and it was so warm, crispy, and flavorful. Overall, I would come again! read more

When I stopped by the store wasn't too crowded. The shop has a couple of tables for sitting, but not a whole lot. There were quite a few items on the menu but I decided on the pink guava juice and the classic aerofoam coffee. The pink guava juice was light and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. I really wanted to like the aerofoam coffee, but it just didn't have enough coffee flavor for me. read more

Pull Tab's drinks are very aesthetic. We ordered the Osmanthus Oolong Aerofoam and Matcha Aerofoam. The cups were very cute and reusable. Unfortunately the Matcha Aerofoam was very milky and didn't have much matcha. I like the Osmanthus Aerofoam drink more as it had more flavor. However, both drinks were pretty expensive ($7.50). read more

Pull Tab Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

RUN BEFORE THIS COFFEE SHOP BLOWS UP!! I was totally blown away by their Osmanthus Oolong Aerofoam.   I just knew Pull-Tab Coffee was founded in Hangzhou, China. This Asian coffee chain is known for their aerofoam coffee, and now boasts over 400 locations and is expanding to South Korea and Singapore.   Their first NYC location is right next to Bryant Park, and I've been eagerly awaiting their opening since it's so close to my office. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular, eager to try every single Aerofoam coffee on their menu. ＊Osmanthus Oolong Aerofoam $7.50 A MUST TRY for any floral tea lovers. It is topped with a creamy, airy layer of freeze-dried espresso foam. The bitterness of the aerofoam complements incredibly well with the subtle sweetness from the osmanthus oolong.   ＊Matcha and Guava $7.50 I was recommended to try their Matcha and Guava - it was very guava-forward, served with real guava slices! The matcha flavor was rich, evident in its vibrant green color.   ＊Kaya Butter Toast $6.50 Don't miss out on their signature kaya butter toast - available in original, peanut butter, and chocolate flavors. I went with the original, and it was perfectly toasted, with a slab of butter and kaya jam. You can get the butter toast + aerofoam coffee set for just $12.50.   ＊Salted Butter Bun with Mocha Cream $6.25 They offer a small selection of Asian-style pastries. I tried the Salted Bun with Mocha Cream, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous mocha cream filling oozing out! The bun itself was also very fluffy. read more

I only tried for osmanthus aerofoam latte. It's pretty bland on the tea part and the aerofoam was too bitter (if you didn't mix it well). I paid $9.26 for this drink with oat milk sub. Im wondering if I ordered a regular aerofoam latte, would it also be so bland? I heard the toast was good but it's a small portion- I'm not sure if I'll ever come back to try it. The only good part was my friendly staff who rung me up and the cups are cute. Inside is small with about 8 seats and it's very very hot inside. read more

This spot just launched their new Coconut Escape Series with 2 matcha drinks and 2 coffee drinks that were the perfect dose of caffeine and came in the prettiest cups! The Coco Matcha Cloud was a coconut water with a matcha cream and was refreshing. Matcha Coconut Aerofoam had a foam on top that made the drink even tastier and the cups kept everything cool. The Caramel Coconut Latte and Coconut Aerofoam are made with espresso and are sweet enough to balance the bitter coffee. I also tried their Butter Toast which has Kaya spread inside and it's a nice sweet soft texture in between the crunchy toast. If you purchase 2 of these new coconut drinks, you can also get a free ceramic cup! There's ample seating inside, but no bathroom by the way. read more

Long wait and pretty overpriced. BUT to be fair it was pretty tasty. Osmanthus oolong aerofoam coffee was the perfect blend of foamy coffee flavored top and sweet (not overly sweet) oolong osmanthus tea. I am confused why some reviews say it's bitter - if you drink coffee at all, this was like.. more La Croix of coffee than actual coffee level of bitter? The Kaya toast was also surprisingly good despite how simple it looked. Wouldn't wait in line again but would definitely come back when there is no wait! P.s. I wouldn't get the guava drink it's literally Monin guava puree plus water.... read more

I was able to try their drinks and Kaya toast on opening weekend. It was nice to sip and enjoy at Central Park on a Saturday afternoon with 80 degree weather! To start, all their drinks are pretty small (cup sizes). We ended up ordering the iced matcha & guava, osmathus oolong aerofoam, and the earl grey aerofoam. The aerofoams had very subtle tea flavor profiles and the matcha guava drink was more of a very sweet guava juice than matcha tea. I'd say all their tea flavors are pretty light but still was great to try! Their classic butter toast was delicious! I haven't had Kaya toast in a while but this definitely paired nicely with the drinks. The classic butter toast had a thin layer of Kaya paste and slabs of butter on it. So bad for you but SO. GOOD. read more

A tad overhyped by TikTok. If you get the osmanthus oolong aero foam, it taste mostly like tea with the bitterness of coffee- don't expect coffee taste. Matcha was good but it's on the sweeter side and it's a little thick. Wasn't a bad spot but isn't a spot I would make an effort to go back to. The guy taking our order was a little rude but the staff making the drink was super nice. read more

Drinks: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Interior: 10/10 This was one of my favorite coffee places we stumbled upon during our trip to New York. It's such a cute place to take a quick break from exploring the city. The associate who took helped us with our order was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the Mocha Aerofoam and the beehive coffee. The Mocha Aerofoam was rich and tasted like I was drinking a holiday chocolate milk with coffee. The aerofoam is a unique and fun concept which we enjoyed. The beehive coffee was delicious and balanced with enough sweetness. I will definitely be back to get coffee here during my next trip! read more

Pull Tab Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

When I first heard about Pull Tab Coffee, I told myself I wasn't going to go, but I saw the unique drink flavors on the menu -- I'm a sucker for unique drink flavors. There wasn't a line, and it wasn't too busy during the weekend. This place surpassed my expectations. The Banana Aerofoam had a deep, dark coffee flavor and a banana flavor that complimented it. The coffee was fluffy but not too fluffy. The three crispy candied banana slices were good as well, not just serving as a photogenic touch. The peanut butter butter toast, although not warm, tasted nostalgic. You'd think the thin slabs of butter would be too much, but it wasn't and complimented the peanut butter well. It looked like there was a neon-themed hotpot restaurant connected to and behind the coffee shop. There was a seating area in between with plenty of chairs but just a few tables. read more

There are always new coffee/tea drink spots, and Pull Tab is super unique. It's a chain from China, and I believe this is their first US location. They serve their drinks in big aluminum cups, and have plastic cup sleeves/lids so you can still drink it on the go. I got the osmanthus oolong aerofoam drink and their classic kaya toast. The osmanthus oolong milk tea is SO good! Strong tea flavor, not too sweet, and a good level of creaminess. The aerofoam kinda reminds me of the dalgona coffee that trended in 2020, it's just a coffee microfoam. I'd just order the osmanthus oolong latte next time and skip the aerofoam since the coffee overpowers the tea flavor, but it's good to try at least once. The kaya toast was pretty solid too, lightly coconutty and a great snack choice with the tea. read more

aerofoam coffee! i was really intrigued by this coffee chain in china as well as their coffee concept! apparently its like dalgona coffee, which ive actually never had i got the osmanthus oolong aerofoam. the coffee foam was strong, bitter, and mildly sweet. and the bottom tea part was fragrant, milky, and not too sweet. both of them mixed together perfectly! it complemented so well! def one of the more memorable drinks from my trip and would go out of my way to come back service was great and the inside has a few tables and chairs so you can enjoy your drink! read more

Pull Tab Coffee - osmanthus oolong aerofoam - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My friend recommended me this place so when I was in NYC, I decided to come here. It's rare to find osmanthus being served on the drink menu so when I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to come here. I ordered the osmanthus oolong aerofoam. The sweetness of the osmanthus oolong was perfect then it was topped with coffee foam which perfected the whole drink. The coffee foam is so strong when you just taste it on its own, but when you drink it together, it's like a really good balance. I cannot wait to come back and I do have to say that the price is a bit on the higher end but given the location of the café and sometimes you just have to treat yourself on like a Friday afternoon. I came here on Sunday afternoon with my husband and it was pretty empty. There are some seatings to chill while sipping on your coffee. My husband had the regular class aerofoam with coconut milk cause he's lactose. read more

A creative coffee shop which they're known for their aerofoam, which they turn their espresso shot into a slushy that they put on top of the coffee (or matcha if you get matcha I presume).

This coffee place is so cool and unique...I would go again. This review is a bit late, I visited during July. I love how they have a unique spin and introduced aero foam. How freaking cool. I like how they cut their Kaya toast in 4th too! The only thing is that I wish their customer service was nicer. It felt unwelcoming when I came. They did a deal in July where you can get the coconut series at a discounted price + complementary mug but I didn't see that poster until after I ordered. The cashier didn't inform me about the deal :/. That's it! Other than that, the ambience was great, creative, and clean. read more

Viral new coffee shop in midtown! I had to try their honeycomb coffee of course which crisp honeycomb on top and also tried their banana milk coffee. The banana one was more up my alley as the honeycomb one seemed cool more due to the novelty of the aesthetic rather than the flavor (which just tasted like a sweet coffee). The coffee itself is strong and tasty and doesn't taste like basic Keurig which I appreciate. The banana flavor is strong for the banana coffee which I loved. Service is kind and ambience is nice for sitting and yapping. Drinks are served in cold cups so your drink stays cold for a while. Docking one point bc it's a bit expensive for the size of drink (esp given the amount of ice they provide!!) read more

Ambiance: The space is medium size, with about 4 to 5 tables, and it feels cozy and inviting. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The shop was also decorated with cute Halloween props, which added a festive and playful touch to the atmosphere. Drinks: I tried three drinks: the Pineapple Jasmine Coconut Aerofoam, the Double Pistachio Latte, and the Rooibos Co-Brew Cloud. My personal favorite was the Double Pistachio Latte. It was creamy, nutty, and had a surprisingly bold pistachio flavor. I especially loved the foam on top; it had a rich, velvety texture that held up nicely over time. My least favorite was the Rooibos Co-Brew Cloud, but that's mostly because I'm not a big fan of herbal tea. If you enjoy rooibos, you might have a different take! Service: The interaction was minimal, but the staff were helpful when it came to explaining the differences between the drinks and the available non-dairy options. Friendly and efficient overall. read more
