Visited for some coffee and was sadly disappointed. Might have been a wrong time when we visited, but we ordered the hot matcha latte and capuccino. Tasted like watered down coffee and watered down matcha. Overall, do not recommend for the one time visit. read more

I had a $6 pistachio croissant and it was messy and sweet but I can blame it. I do love a sweet pastry. The service is as you would expect a laidback coffee shop would be like. It is mainly a college/hospital resting spot. read more

We visited this spot during a quite afternoon on Presidents' Day. The main photo on the Yelp made me want to go get some desserts and a coffee. When we entered, they didn't have much selection on the desserts, I am not sure it they ran out of donut-type sweets, or if they no longer offer those items? Anyways, we got a chocolate croissant and a lemon meringue tart. For drinks, my hubby got Caramelized Banana Latte. When I asked for Tiramisu Latte, hot, the lady behind the counter told me they only do that cold. Then, she offer to make me a hot mocha latte, with condensed milk, which will have a similar flavor. How kind and sweet is she? It is great that she knows what each drinks taste like, so she can come up with a quick solution to my request of order. She was welcoming, efficient, and very patient from watching her deal with a customer who was not paying attention to her at all when she was asking for a confirmation of his order... The drinks were really tasty, nice and hot on a cold day. The chocolate croissant was flakey and fluffy. The lemon meringue, however, was way too sweet for me. It had too much meringue with too little lemon custard to balance it out. Overall, we had a nice, relaxing visit here. The interior is small but has a good amount of seating. I believe they don't restrict the laptop use, so people could be staying for a long time, but otherwise, the turnover should be quick-ish. read more

Coconut water matcha was yummy. Think it could've worker better if the coconut water was carbonated. Service was decent. read more

Roast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Near the United Nations, we needed a cafe with good drinks and seating. We have solid service and welcome with our Caramelized banana latte and Mocha latte with condensed milk. We ordered two desserts to go with our drinks. The key lime pie was great with an excellent meringue on top. The cafe had a relaxed energy with a welcoming staff. There are a few seats. On a cold day, it was nice to relax inside. read more

When I came by one Sunday morning, everyone coming in seemed to be "regulars" - or at least very friendly with the people who worked here. I liked the chill vibe. The menu is quite large, so I've updated a menu pic. The cardamom latte was unique and really good. There's not a lot of seating inside, but if you really need a spot, there's also a nice big window to perch and people watch. read more

Cute spot! Coffee was tasty, and there's a decent amount of seating here too. I had the Spanish Latte, which was smooth. Service is friendly too. I'd want to come back to try some of their specialty drinks because the menu is pretty extensive! read more

Roast - Spanish Latte & Drip Coffee | IG & TikTok @territheplatypus.eatz - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

honestly, it's a pretty quite place to get work done, but both the ambience and the coffee are nothing to write home about. the lattes lean on the expensive side and the coffee flavor is not strong and bitter (which is how i like it -- if you're the opposite, congrats, you'll love this place). they did have some pretty creative drinks, like caramelized banana and cardamom and the service was really fast. overall not a bad place to grab coffee but not something to go out of your way for either. read more

A very delicious coffee place with tons of specialty coffee; some of them being the pumpkin spiced latte and the Spanish latte. The staff is always welcoming and nice. The music always varies but I love that they always have Karol G for some reason when I am there. The place is always clean and organized and their food/pastries look delicious although I have not tried them yet. read more

Great matcha lattes and the pastries/picky items are quite good as well. Nice to have seating outside! The only issue with this place is the service is very variable. I come nearly every day and some of the girls working are rude and don't acknowledge your existence at all (while others in fairness are lovely). I get the same item and get rung up at 2 different price points depending on who is working. So I would just keep an eye on that! read more

Love coming here every morning before heading into work! Their staff is friendly and efficient. I personally love their Lavender Matcha Latte. 5/5- it's not too sweet and their lavender compliments the matcha! I personally love their butter croissant. Definitely get it toasted too! Super crunchy, soft, & buttery! Ambiance- 5/5! Absolutely love their decor and they have a lot of seats. Their bathroom is gender neutral as well. Tip; they accept cash & card. No extra fee. Overall, I would definitely come back here to get my coffee & breakfast fix. read more

Such a cute spot with yummy drinks! I got an oat milk latte with their cold foam and it was so good. Can't wait to come back to try their other drinks and yummy looking pastries. This spot is also a great place to get work done. It's not only spacious and comfortable it's also super aesthetic and clean. They're new so definitely come check them out! read more

Roast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Roast is a cute, new cafe in the area with various pastries and drink menu! They get their pastries from Unruled Bakery, and they're all SO good. I like the separation of space from the ordering/pick up area with seating area, as it's more quiet and private in the latter. Bathroom was clean and accessible, with outdoor seating as well! Staff is so friendly and nice, but I wish the drinks had a stronger flavor of what they were representing. Like the Blueberry Matcha had a taste of matcha, but the blueberry flavor was pretty faint. The mint cold brew was refreshing and definitely unique, but I think it could use a stronger mint flavor as well. read more

Stopped by this little cute cafe while I was in the area! Sounds like they are relatively new but have great vibes and a nice quiet space! Their menu has a range of coffee, matcha, and tea options, as well as seasonal items. I opted for the Earth Matcha since the prior reviews mentioned their matcha drinks. While the matcha flavors weren't the strongest, it did have a charcoal latte like bitterness from the butterfly pea powder. Loved how it wasn't sweet at all and mixed well. Unfortunately they didn't have their mint cold brew anymore but the regular cold brew was pretty standard. Didn't get to try their baked goods this time but hoping to check out their scookie (scone cookies) and pistachio based items! The staff member who greeted me was super nice and patient. The store was just off the main avenue so it was pretty quiet and laptops welcomed!! There were several wooden 2 person tables with a touch of greenery. Drinks were alright overall but I love the space/vibes and can see myself doing some work here! read more

I had a very bad experience here as laila. The staff member we dealt with was very rude from the moment we arrived. She started slamming things around, which made the atmosphere feel uncomfortable and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, we were basically kicked out, even though we didn't feel we had done anything wrong she even snapped her fingers telling me to get out. Customer service should be respectful and professional, but unfortunately that was not our experience. I would not recommend this place based on how we were treated. read more

A teeny coffee shop with plenty of indoor seating (chair/tables and window seating too) and patio dining. Plugs galore, if you need to charge your phone, and a single stall bathroom. I ordered the iced honey lavender matcha with whole milk, but they have nondairy milk (almond and oat) plus skim and 2%, too. It was good (the honey lavender made it good) but nothing to write home about. What WAS surprisingly delicious is the Dubai Chocolate they sell (the owner has a personal connection to this brand) which I had been avoiding trying out of sheer stubbornness. I try to avoid food trends unless they've stuck around for a while and been endorsed by foodies I trust. Either way: it was delicious!! Service was friendly and the space is cute. read more

Quick service. Ambience seems ok. It's a little sterile inside with bright lights and minimalist furniture. I'm sure it's fine if you want to linger just a little but it's not a large shop. Drip coffee is good. Not burnt. Maybe missing some flavor but it's a decent brew. Not sure if it's a matter of the roast or grind. My guess is the beans were not super recently roasted or ground. Still, it's better than a burnt cup from Starbucks but at 5 bucks for a large drip it's still only about par. Pastries are fine. No complaints and they have a few interesting choices but it's not going to amaze you. read more

Great new coffee shop in this area, some speciality coffees and lots of muffin variety. Chai was delicious, service was fast, and place was cozy but had plenty of seating inside and outside. I will definitely come back for more. read more

Saw this new coffee shop and decided to give them a try. The service was quick and friendly. They have a really cool cold brew selection that sets them apart from other cafes. Tried the mint cold brew that was refreshing and will be back to try the other flavors. Cute, clean coffee shop with a small menu that is excited very well. read more

this local spot finally opened and it may just be my new spot! the coffee is soooo good with so many different flavors. They also have a really great Spanish latte! The pastries also are such a great wide variety that come from Unruled Bakery! Jeremy, the manager, is so sweet and will be super accommodating in terms of what you order. The ambiance inside is so fun and cute. They have amazing music playing while serving great WiFi and cute seating. Finally a great new coffee shop in Murray hill! read more

Glad we finally have a coffee shop with ample indoor seating in the neighborhood- those are hard to find here. Nice cozy spot in the winter and there's lot of outdoor seating in the summer too read more

Fav place, the employees are super cute and they have the best croissants. Always fresh.

Good work space, cute interior but a little small. The coffee was pretty good but not very hot. Price was on par with the area $4.5 for a large with almond milk. I will probably return! I will shoutout the workers there, a customer dropped their pastry and they replaced it for free, which I thought was a nice gesture read more

Charming new coffee shop. Coffee is top notch with some incredible pastries. Very happy to have this in the neighborhood.

This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop, I send my boyfriend here every morning and the Spanish latte does not disappoint, I would also recommend the caramel latte and most importantly Jeremy the barista makes the most consistent latte with the best service by far! Atmosphere is tasteful with simple decorative art that is perfect for getting some work done read more
