Effective March 19th 2026, they limited the public space to ONLY within the coffee shop area. There are no restrooms for the public or coffee shop customers, no WiFi and limited seating. I guess they went too viral on TikTok

Great hiding spot in midtown that's getting sadly more popular. Good coffee & great service.

Drinks are alright, and the pastries are pretty good and fresh. But an alright space if you plan to WFH. There's a good amount of seating and the wifi is pretty dependable. But like some other reviews are saying, there's a 90 min time deadline before you're supposed to leave. Luckily for us, the security guards mentioned it to us, but didn't really enforce it, so we stuck around for a bit. But this can probably be super inconvenient if they try to enforce it. Usually when I WFH, I pick a place and plan to stay there for a few hours.

Fantastic cafe in in the Vanderbilt Building. The cafe offers a nice range of coffees, teas, pastries and lite bites during the earlier hours as well as more substantial meals during lunch/dinner time. The ambiance and decor is modern, clean and relaxing. Perfect spot to get work done, have a quick meeting, grab a bite, and plug in your phone or lap top. The artwork sculpture by Takashi Murakami is worth taking a little trip to the second level. The space is quite large with a range of seating options like couches or chairs and tables. The service was friendly and prompt, pick up your coffee and find yourself a space. Definitely plan on returning.

I stumbled upon this place because i had an appointment in the next building and had to sit somewhere to work remotely for a bit. Ambiance is very calm and overall is good place to work. Their coffee was ok-i tried coconut cold brew. They also have bakery stuff which is not bad either. Liked their Spinach feta puff.

“Ordered: 12oz Iced Lavender Latte (~$6) Aya's take: This is a true hidden gem in Midtown and I totally understand why gatekeeping is a thing.”

We had a large group reservation for 13 people today (Friday) early afternoon around 1 PM. The…read morereservation process was easy and communication was quick and responsive. We worked with Eric via email and he was great managing and making sure everything was settled ahead of the event. On the day of our lunch, we arrived around 20 minutes early and the table was already set up. We had two servers throughout the meal and they were lovely. They made sure everything was set up and we had everything we needed. For a large group reservation, they have a $60 minimum and you order everything ahead of time. (The afternoon tea set is mandatory for everyone to get). We had the afternoon tea set, caprese tarts and strawberry parfait for all attendees. The food was filling and tasty. Tea is always so good as well (I always get my Rose Lovers Milk Tea!) All in all, a great option for a group reservation in the city!

After eating some good comfort food, my friends and I wanted a little late-night sweet treat. We…read moresaw this place and thought it looked cute. We got the Ube Crepe Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake. The size of both were the perfect amount since we just wanted something small to end the night. The ube crepe cake was really light and creamy. The ube flavor was pretty subtle, and I mostly tasted the cream. It's a perfect light dessert, but I would've liked the ube flavor to be stronger. The chocolate lava cake was super rich and decadent but also really delicious. I feel like it kinda battled with the ube crepe cake since they're total opposites. The staff were friendly. The interior was really cute and had a relaxing type of atmosphere that made it great for a nice place to sit, chat, and have dessert.

I was curious what makes ssal cakes different from typical flour. Honestly I was wondering if it…read morewould be chewy like mochi (it's not!). When I went at 7pm on a Thursday, they ran out of some of the ssal cake flavors, but luckily they still had the mugwort flavor which was the one I was aiming for. The plain cream one looks very angelic and attractive with the pale whiteness but for $1.50 more, I'd rather get a flavored version. Also I recall others saying that the plain one is a bit tasteless. The ssal cake ended up being super airy and light, even softer than a chiffon cake imo. It doesn't have oiliness, roughness, or acidity. Likewise, the cream matches the gentleness of the cake. The structure is interesting too, because the top layer of cream is thick, then a thin layer of cake, then a thin layer of cream, and a thick layer of ssal cake. When I eat it, I often get hit with the thick layer of cream on top while wishing there's more cake. Don't get me wrong, I like all components of it. I've had mugwort before but not super familiar with it. For those who've never had it before, mugwort tastes herbally and earthy kind of like the Chinese herb prunella vulgaris (?). The flavor here is strong but not in your face aggressive. I like how they dust the whole top with more mugwort powder which adds to the flavor and provides another layer of texture that's not overly dry (slightly messy tho!) I like how the mugwort is a greyish shade of green which honestly looks so chic and unique compared to other bright and colorful desserts nowadays. You can argue that the color looks dull, but I like it. My only complaints for the ssal cake are: 1) wish it came in a smaller size which would be easier to stomach (literally) and financially, 2) wish the cakes were in perfect squares. They're more rectangular without straight edges and 90 degree corners.

really expensive for how mediocre the bingsoo was. line goes out the door and takes forever, and…read moretheres not many options as they run out of items so quickly. i ordered the strawberry matcha bingsoo, and it was good but not great. the strawberries were some of the most sour of all time, and the main flavor of the bingsoo had no matcha present, and relied mostly on a strawberry jam that was poured across. it def tasted good but im confused what im paying for considering that im pouring the sauce over myself and its literally just strawberries and sugar over what im assuming is just a shaved block of frozen milk dusted with a pinch of matcha powder. the store is pretty though!
