This is a cute coffee shop that is very cozy. It was crowded when I got there. Only a few tables outside and they were pink! There was just one table inside and it was taken. I had a stroller and thankfully I fit in the shop with it. I got a small iced latte and I can taste the coffee notes. It's not like any other coffee I tried. It had different notes in it. When I got it, it had black sprinkles inside the latte. I think that is what makes it flavorful. I got it with whole milk so it eliminates the bitterness. Very creamy. St Kilda Coffee has a lot of grounded and coffee beans for sale. They have different types of coffee beans for sale and other merchandise like tote bags and coffee filters.

St. Kilda coffee was a cute stop for quick drinks and baked goods. They had vegan options for food too which was a perfect way to start our morning. We'd recommend it for a quick stop!

Iced large Americano and a hot cappuccino

usually places that have adorable aesthetics are sacrificing some of their quality in pursuit of Instagram-ability, but this is not one of those - a tiny little pink and green storefront with two pink tables outside and one table inside - collectively we had a large iced Americano with a little bit of almond milk and two cappuccinos. all got a stamp of approval! - For one their large size is actually large, thank God, and their almond milk isn't just water. it had a slightly nutty flavor and was delicious. - the espresso is robust. it is an intense flavor and not burnt. the cappuccinos were perfectly paired with a strong espresso flavor, creamy milk, and light foamy layer. - the workers were sweet and the drinks were made quickly yet with an actual real quality espresso machine! they have a few fun seasonal drinks but mainly just do the classics well. and for a NORMAL price! - there is a flight where you can sample different origin coffees if you're actually a coffee aficionado!

Look for the sign and cute pink tables, or you may miss it.

This is the spot. I'm from San Francisco where light coffees are king and I'm extremely picky. I had good luck while in Brooklyn with SEY which was . Manhattan has been a bit tougher with the saturation of shops, and latte art with trendy names isn't a reliable calling card any longer. I scored a really great espresso tonic perfect for 95 degree heat at % Arabica, and some good drip at WatchHouse. Today I was outside of another promising looking Bird & Branch, but the ambiance just wasn't speaking to me. I took a moment to scan yelp and found St Kilda. Aussie coffees? Reliably light and focus on unique single origins. Verdict? FIRE The baristas were lovely and I had a pleasant chat with them about coffee and brew methods. They even hooked me up with some tiny samples of their drip - the true test of a coffee shops bonafides - to decide which I wanted. They have a co-ferment Colombia right now that's gonna blow your socks off if you like bright, citrusy coffees. I wish I had found this spot before my last morning in NYC. I will be back, though, St Kilda.

Cozy little café located at Chelsea. The Aussie name makes me nostalgic as it recalls my childhood memories at St Kilda Beach in Melbourne. One of the best places in town to have single origin artisan coffee at affordable price. They sell an excellent selection of supreme quality coffee beans, like Sey Coffee, Little Wolf and Traffic. Note that their storefront is low key so you might oversee it. The store is decently decorated with plants and climbers. * Cappuccino w/ Oat Milk I was thrilled that the barista added a dash of cocoa powder on the cappuccino! It is rare in NYC yet a common thing in Australia and some European countries. The espresso base was fruity and bright. I prefer darker roast beans pairing with my milk coffee, so I will certainly order pour over to taste the light roast beans of its fullest next time. * Hot Mocha The hot mocha was amazing. A bit sweet for my liking, but my mom found it very satisfactory. If you dislike the bitterness of coffee but crave for some caffeine, go for their mocha. Worth Returning? YES OFC

Nice coffee. They have a very consistent style from their coffee bag design to the music they play. Psychedelic. The barista is nice as well. Amazing experience.

St Kilda is a great spot, but easy to miss because of its rather unfortunate location next to one of the neighborhood's shadier convenience stores. The minimalist decor and smooth espresso flavor profile remind me a lot of the "hip" coffee shops in the SF Bay Area. Flavor-wise, if you are a fan of Blue Bottle, I think you will like this, too. Also, their logo design is pretty darn cool.

Best coffee place in Chelsea, nice design inside. They change the coffee choices often too and work with a bunch of different roasters.

Espresso
Ed S.

Short of a fine Italian coffee place this was the best espresso I've had hands down. The sparking water "back" was an excellent touch. I'd walk a mile for their cawfee. The perfect find before the theater.

A solid latte, though maybe not one of NYC's best fancy coffee shops. But if you're already in Chelsea it's totally a solid option.

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good.

They have a water dispenser, two locking bathrooms, and plenty of outlets, so I already have a very positive view of Grace Street as a good place to rest. The food is alright. It's a bit overpriced and the teas are not good quality. However, the desserts are delicious. I usually split a slice of basque cheesecake with my friends. The regular and matcha have both been good in my experience. I don't like chocolate cake, so I haven't tried that variety. I wish the pumpkin was available in the smaller size too! I've tried their boba, and it isn't good. The hot teas are okay but not great. They're pretty much just syrup and milk. I would avoid the drinks and just get the desserts! I haven't personally tried the bingsoo, but I've heard good things. The waffle is alright--all in all, come here to recharge and for the basque cheesecake!

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 needed a sweet pick-me-up after missing a train home. While the ice cream flavors looked interesting, I opted for a blue coconut iced matcha latte instead. Aside from the striking visuals, the drink tasted great. There was sweetness from the matcha and the coconut but not super overtly sugary. I also got a box of four donuts. They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

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.
