    Truck

    The cutest spot. Perfect location next to Rockefeller. Got a classic vanilla latte with a friend and sat outside to enjoy the spring weather. The coffee came out so quickly and was so great!

    Cute coffee truck near the Rockefeller, sells cute merch from cups/mugs, ornaments, clothing, etc. My husband and I ordered the hot chocolate and we enjoyed it especially on a cold day in NYC!

    Bit of a wait, but the truck has a great variety of options. Ordered a seasonal cinnamon latte and really enjoyed it. The staff working were extremely pleasant. Fun quick stop in the city before walking around 5th Ave in the winter!

    Ralph's Coffee is operated under the umbrella of the Ralph Lauren brand. They have multiple locations throughout NYC. This particular one is right near Rockefeller Center. It's a cute green truck - you can't miss it because there's going to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG line of people waiting. Ralph's has their own coffee blends with organically grown beans from Central America, South America, and Africa. In addition to coffee, they have tea, hot chocolate, lemonade, and pastries. We came on a freezing cold Saturday evening and waited around 20 minutes to order. We were craving hot chocolate and hoped it was worth waiting in the cold. Since it's located in such a hot spot, you can expect everything to be overpriced. So it was no surprise that it was $7 for a hot chocolate. Sadly, the price and wait didn't make up for our disappointment. Our drinks were lukewarm and lacked the richness of a melted chocolate bar. It just tasted like very, VERY diluted choco milk... It was more milk than anything. Maybe we made a mistake by not ordering their specialty coffee roast. Welp.

    I had such high hopes for this spot but it was disappointing for sure. the coffee was just okay. But the workers were so rude and it just ruined the vibe for me. I also could not justify spending over $60 for a hat?! Insane. My aunt asked for decaf and the workers just so rudely said we dont do that. Like it's fine if you don't but idk be nice?! I just would either try a different one or not come back at all.

    This Ralph's location is a truck in the middle of the plaza. Very cute and wasn't too busy on a Friday. The coffee was good but it was pretty expensive even for the city. I got a small vanilla latte with oat milk for $12.

    I thought this iced coffee was quite good! If you are in the area, this kiosk is conveniently located near Rockefeller. I will admit what 1st drew me were the optics! But not a bad choice at all!

    Matcha lemonade

    I ordered the matcha lemonade from this cute cart location. Service was fast and friendly & there's some seating to enjoy your drinks. The matcha lemonade is sweet, a little tart & strong on the matcha flavor.

    Heard that this was a cute little spot to grab a quick beverage and it didn't disappoint. I love the monochromatic green look and I love a good matcha lemonade, the balance of this one was really nice. Price-wise it's pretty standard for other matcha lemonades I've gotten in the city. Service was friendly, drinks came out quickly, and there were a few little tables to sit and eat pastries at! It's also worth noting they had soft serve available and affogato's on the menu too!

    Beautiful location, kind staff, quick service, easy to understand menu, seating available. I did ask for more creamer and was fixed quickly, great coffee after fixed.

    Cutest coffee shop ! I got lucky to get a table and order some drinks ! The staff was fast ! The prices is good too

    There was a long wait but that was to be expected because it is a well know place. We waited for about 30-45 minutes and it was worth the wait. A ginger bread latte and croissant were good. Not the best latte I have had but was worth trying. Definitely went for the experience but don't need to go again.

    Great coffee and location. Super overpriced but at least it was yummy. Adorable truck.

    Isn't this limited time only? It states its still open, is that true?

    Yes it is. It closed on Monday January 7th, 2019. Back sometime in April 2019. But until then, you can get your coffee fix at 888 Madison Ave

    Mika's Direction is a small matcha-focused shop tucked slightly off the main flow of Koreatown,…read moreeasy to miss if you are not actively looking for it. The space is extremely compact, functioning more like a takeout counter than a café, with only minimal room inside. The main focus here is matcha, with a distinctive approach that lets you choose between three blends: Hinata, which leans creamy and nutty; Hajime, which is more smoky and earthy; and a more traditional-style matcha profile. Drinks like the mango matcha show how they play with these bases, though fruit purées can sometimes overshadow the matcha depending on the combination. They also offer matcha powder for home use and occasional fresh pastries that add a warm, baked aroma to the space. Service is one of the strongest parts of the experience. The staff is consistently warm, attentive, and willing to explain the differences between blends in detail. The atmosphere is cozy but extremely tight, built for short visits rather than lingering. It is not a workspace or hangout café, but more of a quick stop that stands out because of its hospitality and focus on craft. Even in a busy area, it leaves a memorable impression through its matcha quality and genuinely personable service.

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.

    This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. 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.

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.
