    Seems like a popular cafe in the west side. Coffee was good and some of the the dishes looked delicious but we were not very hungry. The bun we ordered was a bit dry.

    The coffee is certainly solid... just solid. It's decent but it's really nothing special so I was surprised that it is rated number 1 in the area. Maybe that says more about the state of coffee in the area than it does about the coffee here. The place is nice, can get pretty packed though. Few outlets and no wifi make it better for hanging out than for doing work. Nothing wrong with that but just an FYI. The pastries I've had are all pretty good but again nothing crazy or life changing.

    There was a long line out the door. The food was okay. I just came for a quick catch up with a friend. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to order and then about 5-10 minutes for a table. It was a small-ish coffee shop.

    Solid State is a great coffee shop serving well crafted drinks, has a nice food menu, and ample seating to sit back and enjoy the coffee. I ordered the special which is basically a Samoa Girl Scout cookie in coffee form. Not a typical order for me but I love coconut and had to try it. The drink itself was an iced coconut cream and caramel latte with almond milk. It was sweet, creamy, and delicious. My husband ordered an iced vanilla latte with almond milk which was actually better than mine because it wasn't overly sweet. It had all the right notes and was coffee forward. We split the cardamom bun which was a soft, nicely flavored pastry. And of course I bought a bag of beans to take home which has now been added to the rotation of beans we order online.

    Delicious coffee spot! I initially walked by on Sunday and the line was out the door--I think their weekend brunch must be popular. Ended up going Monday morning instead which was a much better line to experience. Staff was friendly, coffee delicious and vibe was great! Fairly quiet with a number of folks typing away on their laptops, I'd imagine it to be a good spot to knock out some emails or work on projects undisturbed.

    Needed a treat after an appointment in the area and this place did the trick. Oat milk latte was amazing, and the cardamom bun was solid. They also have a full kitchen! Definitely recommended if you need a coffee shop near 72nd.

    Matcha latte was ok. This is definitely a coffee place. The breakfast sandwich was fresh and tasted so good. Would definitely recommend. Loved the vibes as well. Service was quick

    Solid State coffee was awesome. Waited in a long line on a rainy Saturday morning. Got a pourover and it was delicious. One of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time.

    Bustling coffee shop in Chelsea! Came here with a friend for some iced tea to-go, and thought the menu was fairly priced. I wish there were some more novel flavors of coffee drinks and tea, though. The coffee shop has a nice food menu as well (if a bit pricey), and I'd love to come back and try some of it! The shop goes surprisingly deep and there's a lot of seating for big groups, booths, etc which was cool to see for a space that was tucked away in the street. I got the berry hibiscus, and it was refreshing and light. There was a decent line on Sunday afternoon, but the service was friendly and quick.

    3.5/5 This coffee shop is cute and has a lot of seating in the back and they have a backyard area too. You can definitely chill for a while or even do work here. But the prices here are just so steep. I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was $9 bc you have to pay 50 cents for ice, $1 for oat milk, $0.75 for syrup. I know coffee in the city is crazy expensive already but I have to say this is the most expensive coffee I've ever gotten in nyc and I just didn't think it was amazing? It was good but the coffee here isn't crazy where I'd be willing to pay that much money each time for a latte. But if you live in the area and want a nice place to study or do work, you should check it out.

    What a cute coffee shop this is. I have passed it many times but never went in. When you walk in to your left are shelves where you can purchase different items, books, art, coffee. In the front of the shop there is a little seating area. As you walk towards the back there is much more seating. Very friendly place and deff has regulars as the staff would say hi again nice to see you, or hi its been a while how have you been. I got a latte and WOW it was tasty. Not bitter at all or lacking flavor. If you are in the upper west side area I highly recommend this cute spot.

    I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! 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.

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.

    I believe Seoul Sweets is currently the only spot in NYC specializing in ssal cakes (korean rice…read moreflour cake), and I love how light and not too sweet it is. Made with rice flour and egg whites, it is so airy, and literally feels like cutting through a cloud. Plus, it's gluten-free! A perfect little cake for a small celebration They also make the prettiest korean dessert sets, alongside bingsu, dubai chewy cookies, and einspanner. They're seriously always keeping up with the trends! *Black Sesame Ssal Cake $16.5 ** My top pick. The black sesame layer on top was the richest. Super nutty without being too heavy. The sponge and cream cheese had a subtle black sesame flavor. It reminded me of the cream in their black sesame einspanner. *Mugwort Ssal Cake $16.5 * This one was surprisingly rich. The mugwort had a strong earthy, herby flavor, while the plain cream cheese layer helped cut through the richness. *Mango Ssal Cake $16.5 This was a bit of a miss to me as there wasn't any mango-flavored sponge or mango puree inside. It was just a plain rice flour cake with a few slices of fresh mango on top. Though I could really taste the mild, clean rice flavor in this one. *Da-On Sang Set $26 ** A must-order if it's your first time here! The mochi was super soft, and the strawberry was so ripe and sweet. The yak-gwa and joo-ak were chewy, sticky, and just sweet enough, especially paired with the tea that came with the set. *Black Sesame Einspanner $8.5 *Mugwort Einspanner $8.5 The cream was lighter compared to other einspanners I've had. The mugwort one was bursting with earthy flavor. Definitely try it if you're a mugwort fan. The black sesame was alright. I personally wish it was a little richer.

All of them tasted authentic (I'm Korean) and well executed. Also tried the black sesame cake which was amazing. The desserts here reminded me of rice cake bakeries/cafes in Korea so it's pretty legit. Sad I haven't made it to their store yet but it looks beautiful based on pictures. I'd love to go try their desserts in store one day!
