Lion's mane
Alyssa N.

Cute interior and fast service, but a super watered down drink. I could barely taste the coffee flavor.

Amy G.

Cute spot! The decor is clean and hip, they had a decent selection of all the usual lattes you could want and some great looking pastries. Our barista was kind and helpful since we aren't from this part of town. I got the golden milk latte with oatmilk and it was exactly what I was hoping for! Not too sweet, but just enough

This coffee shop I came upon while walking towards another coffee shop. I stopped in and It was very cute. The lady working here was super nice. The vibes here are chill, music was great and they also have little like semi private outdoor seating area. They have tables and chairs inside too. I got an iced lavender iced latte. It was good but maybe there was a bit too much lavender syrup in it. My first sip and I was like WOAH! sooo lavender!!!!! But If I am in the area again I would stop in again and try out another kind of coffee. Also, this place has the cutest name for a coffee shop I mean come on FROTH! so cute and great!

Super cute tiny, purple Gen Z coffee place in the lower east side. A friend and I stopped by for a coffee while waiting for a table at Russ & Daughters. The service was great and fast. I got a cortado and it was delicious. Solid coffee choice, and really bright, there was a man working pretty early on a Sunday (we were there around 9 am) so it must be a good local spot. Would love to come back, very memorable since it was very neon purple!

Lavender Iced Chai Latte
Toshonie W.

I've walked by this spot multiple times while frequenting my neighborhood. I decided to stop in on this lovely Saturday. Food : 2/5 Lavender Chai latte nothing to brag about I've had better Service : 1/5 *I was highly disappointed with how I was handled. No greeting. I inquired about different types of milk provided due to dietary restrictions and one particularly displayed that I'd never heard of. The cashier Amanda began to explain the type of milk and when I placed my order I wanted to pay with cash. She didn't do such a good job of conveying that she didn't have cash to provide me with the correct change so there was a miscommunication there and she appeared to become agitated. *When I placed my order I specifically said Iced Lavender Chai Latte and she gave me a Iced latte. I explained this to Amanda in which she proceeded to tell me I didn't say that & I CLEARLY did. She became a bit combative in a sense of going back and forth with me saying she repeated my order back to me-- As a paying customer and literal human being I have a right to vocalize my thoughts and ask for the correct order. She did replace my drink swiftly but this encounter made my 1st experience a not so pleasant one. Ambiance : 3/5 minimal, basic decor but chill. Small space inside. They have small tables and chairs for seating outside & some inside. Customer service is important and this didn't leave me feeling happy and excited to try Froth for the first time being that I've never even heard of this place... Do better with training staff to have more patience & friendly demeanor. (unacceptable) she was RUDE. Would NOT recommend.

Flat White
Samantha D.

Given that they have free wifi, a clean bathroom, and outlets available, I was surprised that there were a good amount of seats available when I walked in. Considering the aesthetic of the cafe, I was expecting some type of art on my flat white. It was an average flat white. They have self serve water if you need it. Most people inside were doing work, but they have an outdoor area were people were chatting.

Cute cafe, but unfortunately nothing that stood out. The service was not too friendly , but maybe an off day for the people at front. I got a vanilla oat latte & mocha. Could not taste the vanilla and the mocha was not too sweet either. Cafe vibes were pretty, maybe I should have gotten a signature drink to enjoy it better.

Latte, Lavender iced tea
Chithra V.

Great place for coffee! It's a cozy room with about 8 table chairs. Drinks are good; not many options though but can customize the drink however preferred. A very good place for working as they provide wifi services. Always filled with college kids and working professionals. I got the lavender iced tea and a latte. Latte was great but not the iced tea because it was unsweetened though the menu does not say so. Overall a great ambience for working.

Turmeric Chai Latte
Kaya E.

Popped in to get a quick hot beverage and send a couple emails during my commute. As I walked up on the could see there were 2 spots open outside (4 total) and once inside there were no seats unfortunately :( The staff was friendly and quickly helped me out with my order. I decided on a Turmeric chai latte .. because health is wealth lol. Turmeric is really good so I figured why not give it a try since it's definitely not something that I see often. As I waited for my drink I looked around to see if anyone would be leaving anytime soon but it honestly looked like everyone had been posted up for hours already and had no intentions of leaving anytime soon. Once I got my drink I sat outside for a little bit to enjoy the drink. It was pretty good.. I'm not sure I would order again butttt it was a cool option. After about 5 minutes or so someone finally left and I was able to run inside to sit near their window (a nice lil nook). There wifi is pretty fast but I did not see any plugs around. Fronthin is a cute lil coffee shop that definitely has a consistent flow of people coming in and out. Not sure about their coffee standards but I'd assume it's good.

Cinnamon maple latte
Anthony P.

TLDR - great coffee that blends well into the drink, yes bathroom, yes wifi and yes outlets for three tables. There's outdoor seating also. CINNAMON MAPLE LATTE The flavors really blended well together and the coffee wasn't burnt tasting at all. It was a really nice not too sweet latte at around 6 bucks. The cinnamon definitely stands out and you can see flecks of it dissolved into the drink, with the nice maple sweetness giving it that boost and taking the edge off the coffee without being saccharine. There's outdoor seating with a lot of tables and there's three tables indoors with lots of plugs for you to post up and get some work done. There's loud music playing so if you're looking for a quieter place or need relative silence to focus this might not be the place for you - they were also playing a lot of Lana Del Rey (which side note, was a bonus for me). Bathroom is really clean and well-maintained. Make sure to close the door after using it ;)

Lavender chai tea latte, cold, with macadamia nut milk! My new favorite drink
Ashley B.

Came here post-dinner for a a small treat. The interior of this place is lovely and possibly a good place to get some work done. Service was great and I ordered a cold lavender chai latte with macadamia nut milk because it sounded different and I wanted to try something new. The barista recommended it cold because it was prettier and macadamia nut milk and it was one of the best drinks I've ever gotten at a coffee shop! Only docking one star because the baked goods was super sparse, but maybe because I came later in the day.

Latte (ig @urbancafediary)
Jingwen Z.

At first I thought this place had a weird name, but then I had their latte and the foam was indeed frothy, in the best way! This new LES coffeeshop was sunny and warm on a weekday morning, the espresso is on par with other decent cafes, and there was space for people to trickle in and out for to-go coffees, or stay to do some remote work, like me. They also have a menu of specialty drinks I'd like to try one day. It did take them a while to open up in the morning; Google lists their hours as starting at 8:30, but I arrived at almost 10am and they were still setting up (odd hours for a cafe), so thankfully I didn't get there earlier. Several other customers came in and were told there would be a wait until drinks could get going. It was not a big deal for me personally, but I am not entirely clear on what their actual hours are.

Lovely little cafe. I got an americano and it was perfectly smooth. My partner got an oat milk latte and the oat milk they use is so tasty. The barista was super nice and made our drinks well. Perfect for no thrills coffee, but they offer specialty lattes as well.

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

We stopped by last Saturday night after grabbing some dinner just down the street and were grateful to be seated immediately in the back area. The vibes here are very chill and the excellent, exuberant staff really know their stuff and get excited to chat with you about wine. We went with wines by the glass and I appreciated the confidence of the menu: it was small enough to not feel overwhelming, yet curated to have something for every palate and preference. My first glass was an unfiltered orange wine from the Alsace region of France (Tout Terriblement Maceration). It was funky and almost pithy in texture, with notes of apple and apricot. Definitely great if you're looking for something a little intense and off the beaten path. For my second glass, I felt like a lighter red, so I went with the Puszta Libre, a chilled Zweigelt from Austria. While it was slightly more standard than my first glass, I loved its funky nose and red and tropical fruits. I can't remember exactly what my husband had, but he loved his drinks, too. I remember one of his glasses smelled intensely of salty buttered popcorn. We weren't going to order any food, but the couple next to us had the chocolate lava cake and it smelled SO good, so we decided to go for it. It was served simply and deliciously, with vanilla ice cream and cherry sauce.

Their ice cream flavors are super unique (inlcuding cheese flavor and fish sauce).

The hwe crudo was refreshing and delicious, and the salad was also a standout -- bright, crisp, and really well-balanced.

The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray.

The bar is very scenic so you will definitely feel like you are getting the full dining experience. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Make reservations for peak dining times in the evenings and on weekends. Many people walked in without reservations and were seated right away on Saturday evenings. Highly recommend trying their original cocktails ($18). We tried the flower child and the harvest moon. Both were tasty. I would get harvest moon again and again. Perfect balance of Tart, sweet refreshing and strong. Menu items change seasonally so it's delightful to try something new every time you visit. $21 potato croquettes were highly disappointing. Everyone recommended them highly, but I could not understand why. For such price, three tiny balls of fried potato should've been mind blowing, but they were underwhelming and forgettable at best. Skip. $24 giant ricotta stuffed raviolo was delightful. Such soothing comfort food. If I could eat just this, I would be happy. $26 fresh crudo was refreshing and light. Delicious cold broth/juice soup in which it was served. $32 Bronzino with mussels in a broth was superb. Light, crispy, and delicate. Would eat this dish for dinner Any night of the day. Balanced flavor profile. Could suit anyone who is picky about their food. $30 lamb neck was a solid dish. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and delicate and flavorful on the inside. Wish the portion was a bit bigger, especially the sides. $38 duck confit was highly advertised, however, it was underwhelming and the least stand out dish. It was solid, but nothing that I would order again or recommend. The duck was on the dry side. Definitely not enough sauce. The cabbage and the cabbage salad were good. Crispy and refreshing. The duck was not the star of this dish. $13 chocolate mousse with strawberry coulis was surprisingly delightful. So light and balanced. Not sweet, but just right to finish a meal. I could eat this dessert every day after every single meal. So simple, yet it hit the spot. Service is very fast and efficient. One of our readers was superb and provided stellar recommendations.

Embarrassing all around. And when we were ready to leave and wanted the check, the female bartender working on Tuesday May 19th from 8-10 PM was busy standing in the corner chatting with someone instead of helping customers.
