Overall: 4.5/5 One of my favorite things about this place is that they use organic oat milk as their default, so no worrying about lactose or paying a surcharge for alternative milk. They also have cocktails on the menu which is something we definitely need to come back for. We got their spring specials this time but there are so many drinks I still want to try. The space is a bit cramped so it's more of a grab and go situation. The Banana Bread Hojicha ($8.75) was wow, it tastes exactly like it sounds. It was sweet enough for me without needing any additional sweetener. The only issue was that the hojicha came out a little grainy, so I think the barista didn't mix it as well as they would matcha. The Cherry Blossom Matcha ($8.50) was everything we imagined cherry blossom to taste like. A lot of times cherry blossom drinks end up tasting pretty off, but this one actually delivered. It's made with ground cherry blossom which I think makes all the difference. The matcha itself was good but the drink runs on the less sweet side, so my husband added honey and brown sugar syrup to his. By the time I got to try it, it tasted just as good as mine. We are definitely coming back for those cocktails. read more

Yummy beverages. I tried the Orange Spritz and Cherry Blossom Matcha. I liked them both. The matcha wasn't too sweet too. Excited to try more items on the menu. read more

Thé Soirée in Midtown is a hidden gem !!! I can easily say one of the best cafe in Midtown for sure. You can enjoy coffee, tea and pastries in this artsy cozy designed cafe. Their coffee has so much or modern touch that anyone can enjoy. I had a lavender latte and it was so smooth with rich flavor. Absolutely worth a visit for drinks, atmosphere and friendly service. read more

This place rocked. Was on a mission to find a coffee place to pull my laptop out and work for a bit and this place was the perfect vibe. Coffee was great - got the Saint tropez latte. Drink came out so quickly and the staff was very friendly. read more

Was disappointed in the matcha quality here. Very sub par which is unfortunate because they had pretty good reviews on their matcha. It was too milky and couldn't even taste the matcha so you're just paying to drink milk. read more

Tried this place for the first time and it did not disappoint! Both the banana bread matcha latte and the Kinder croissant that I tried were absolutely phenomenal. I would be a regular if not for this place being completely inaccessible to wheelchair users. I made an order for pickup through an app not realizing that there is no accessibility here because of a large step and no way to alert the staff because there is no call button on the outside of the building or phone number to call on the door or on Google maps. A man sitting outside drinking his coffee was nice enough to go inside for me and alert the guy at the counter who brought out my order and was nice about it, but without having the tools to actually communicate with customers who need accommodations, staff is set up to fail. Follow the ADA and you will get five stars because the food deserves it. read more

matcha sour: this was my first time trying a sour and it was pretty palatable for such a drink out of my normal flavors. It tasted sour but balanced the matcha was not overbearing, the drink was not sweet, it was overall really thoughtfully made + if u order any alcoholic drink u can get a free shot! hot uji matcha: it's really difficult to make an unsweetened matcha taste good, i feel like they had to be using a good quality matcha bc that drink was really nice in my opinion, the froth at the top- to me was perfect (i ordered all drinks as they came with no adjustments) service: i don't know the name of the bartender/barista but he was super sweet, super kind, and super friendly. great vibes throughout ambiance: the ambiance to me was perfect, great mix of people hanging out, studying, or just passing by. the vibes were great i would come back fs read more

High quality matcha and coffee beverages in Hells Kitchen, which we need. It's nice to havesomething that isn't just sweet coffee drinks and no unique charm around. I haven't stayed to experience the ambiance, but it's not like Remi Flowers or a Think Coffee with a bunch of space to spend the day, but if you want a unique drink this is a good place to get it. read more

You would think a cafe that's known for matcha that makes up most of their menu would have good matcha... I came here with two of my friends and all three of us agreed the drinks were very average. It mostly tastes like milk with barely any matcha flavor. I had to put in a good amount of syrup to make the drink a bit more flavorful. It was also around $9 per drink which is pretty expensive for the quality you get. The cashier was nice and the drinks came out quick though. There isn't a lot of seating and a handful of people were hogging up the tables with their laptop as they finished their drink a while ago. Definitely go somewhere else for matcha. read more

High quality matcha! It isn't really sweet unless requested though. Not super spacious and not a lot of seating available but if you are able to get one it's a good ambiance for some heads down work. Also no outlets!! Bring a charged device. I was a little put off by an odd odor during my first time. read more

What a charming little spot for coffee, tea, and even cocktails! I popped in this morning for a quick pick-me-up and ordered the Kaori Matcha Latte. It has a lighter touch compared to Uji matcha (which comes from the birthplace of matcha), but still delivers that rich, premium flavor. The fragrance was incredible--balanced and smooth, not overpowering at all. They also offer a tempting variety of pastries that pair perfectly with their drinks. I'll definitely be back to try the Uji Matcha next time! read more

I expected more from the matcha drinks but everything was just OK - not particularly impressed with the matcha drinks but they have a fun rotation of seasonal drinks that are creative and worth trying. Like a hojicha hot chocolate? My ideal hot chocolate! I was very much pregnant when I came out but I'm excited to swing by to try their cocktails and to attempt the cafe drinks again. The aesthetic is great, quick and friendly staff behind the counter, and it's a cute little spot in the neighborhood. read more

Really solid coffee shop for the neighborhood! I think the coffee itself is standard/solid but the vibe of the place and their creative drinks that they're making are where this place really shines! I also like the attention to detail they put on their matcha offerings and it's a little bit of a calming oasis, you almost are swept away when you walk in into this peaceful, cute place. I don't find myself in the area often, but when I do I look forward to returning to the soiree as I have at least a few times now. A welcome addition to the area and a great place to catch up with someone. They also offer a variety of baked goods here, a few of which are vegan to which my vegan friend really really enjoyed. I took a bite and was surprised that it was vegan. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this spot. We just went for a second time on our 3 day trip and I just had to buy the beans and take them home with me! Both times I've gotten the Taro latte, which you may not easily see on the menu at the shop, but I had seen it on media outlets and knew I had to get it! The taro which naturally sweet which was great because the latte didn't require anymore added sweetness. My partner got the Provence latte which was espresso, oat milk, and lavender... Truly the best tasting lavender I've ever had. Between the notes of the beans bursting of flavor and the floral notes of the lavender, it was a great buy. They also have matcha and seasonal drinks which seem to rotate so maybe keeping up on their social media's will be helpful before going. It is a pretty small space of a shop so expect to take yours to go or snag a seat at one of the few tables. read more

Drinks 4.5/5 (gotta know what to get) Ambience 4/5 (a little too tiny but cute & cozy) Such a cute cafe and idea to have both cafe drinks and alcoholic drinks! It's such a cute and cozy place to hang around but it is quite small with limited seating. And I love places with unique drink options and they def have that here! Chaplin Charlie 5/5: recommended by the bartender and it was an amazing reco for someone that likes something sour/ tart. Almost like a sour starburst Jasmine martini 2/5: sounds great and all but kinda just taste like alcoholic tea - this was quite bland Soiree spritz 3.5/5: kinda tasted watered down so not too big of a fan Espresso martini 5/5: strong and tasty - packs a punch And love that you get a free shot when you get a cocktail!! read more

I cannot give enough kudos to Thē Soirēe. Once again, they came through with a unique beverage and an ambiance that is relaxing and welcoming. The service is award winning and the artistry that is created is impressive. Once again, I ordered my favorite...the Kinmokusei Latte. I appreciate how it was served with an optimal temperature and it was delightfully enjoyed. If you would prefer an alcoholic libation, Soirēe will gladly oblige. The same goes with sweets and pastries. They've managed to cover all of the bases and they do it exceptionally. Thē Soirēe will continue to be my favorite cafe and thank you, Soirēe, for having late closing times on Fridays and Saturdays, in order to enjoy an after theater treat. read more

The first time I went here I got a latte and it was awful. I never thought I'd go back. Then my neighbor convinced me to get a coffee here with him one morning recently so I gave it another shot. To my surprise, a basic matcha latte was well made. Maybe just the fancy lattes are too much. The service is great and it's a cute little spot. Apparently they do cocktails also! read more

I've been here a couple times and really enjoy this coffee shop. It's quaint and has great coffee and matcha drinks to choose from, alongside pastries. They also serve cocktails, if that's what you're in the mood for. The service is friendly and my matcha was quite delicious. There are a few tables to sit at as well as bar seats, and it's a quiet enough atmosphere to get some work done or read a book. Would definitely recommend if in the neighborhood! read more

Cute cafe with decent drinks. There is a variety of drinks including alcoholic options which is a huge plus. Interior is nice and definitely a place I would feel comfortable having a chat in, or a laptop. Staff is super friendly, no complaints. It's on the block with my neighborhood essentials, so why not stop on. Prices are as expected. Not my everyday stop. read more

Earlier on today, I stopped into The Soirée for a treat, which was fun. The young man who greeted me and took my order, Jimmy, was gentle and welcoming. And the young lady, Ellie, who made my drink, was equally lovely and hospitable. It's sad to say this, but in an era in which we seem to outsource and devalue "customer service" more and more, having good service is a true gift. Okay - enough social commentary! * I chose a Matcha Latte, which was made with their "default" base, which is organic oat milk. I thought that that's a unique and eco-friendly choice. (That is, at this establishment, they assume that you're getting org. oat milk with your milk-based drink, unless you tell them otherwise.) The ambiance at The Soirée is ideal -- it's both emotionally warm and aesthetically pleasing. And my physically warm (and warming), drink was pleasantly flavorful...not too sweet. I took it to go, since I had an immanent task to complete; yet, I could totally see myself going there sometime (to get some work done), and staying for a while. I highly recommend! * The only suggestion that I'd humbly offer is that, along with packets of sweetener and syrups, that the management put out cinnamon and/or cardamom, in powered form, so that their customers can add a bit to their drinks, if they so choose. Again, after my first experience there, I hope to go back. Thanks, Soiree team! : ) Happy that you all are in our HK neighborhood now. My Best, Katherine AKA Kat read more

Came here on a rainy night after a big dinner, I loved the ambiance with the soft lighting. There was only one guy behind the bar, making the drinks, he was very friendly. I ordered a chai latte, it's particularly extra spicy, full of flavor, if that's your style I recommend it as it's very strong and potent. They have multiple matcha options, my friend didn't know which to pick and the friendly guy offered an option off the menu, matcha with Ube ontop. I tried it myself, it tasted very good. The place itself is a bit cramped, but it was a chill spot to sit, chat it up, and enjoy a warm drink. read more

Bombolina was delicious and full of flavor. Blueberry filling with the blueberry rosemary frosting was a great pair but definitely on the messier side as they did not skimp out on filling the Bombolina. The latte was standard but what stood out was the selection of sweetener (they produced multiple simple syrup flavors including brown sugar and raw cane sugar as an "as you wish" fix) and service. Definitely recommend for anyone on 50th & 9th. It was a cute shop that offers not only coffee but cocktails and espresso martinis throughout the day. Worth the trip for anyone looking to revitalize in a nice cafe. read more

The inside was very cute, but quite cramped. I know it's Manhattan, so limited space is to be expected, but I think they did the best they could with interior layout. Service was quick, even though it was crowded. But, I heard a barista loudly complaining they were "done with this matcha s**t" with plenty of customers still in the shop, which definitely interrupted the experience. Matcha itself was honestly kind of chalky tasting. This place is definitely too expensive to only get a drink to carry out, so if I were to go back I definitely wouldn't get matcha again. read more

This fairly new peaceful Japanese & French inspired cafe in Hell's Kitchen is now my top 3 places in the city to get matcha. They use high quality, organic powders and teas imported from Japan with a default oat milk option with no extra charge (!) All drinks come unsweetened to allow the authentic flavors to shine but they do have sweeteners on the side if preferred. The menu includes lots of interesting options that l'll slowly make my way through, definitely be back for their work-in-progress cocktails coming in the summer!

I still think about this small cafe. I went in the evening and the vibe is pure cafe culture. Low tones and unique French/Japanese inspired drinks. I went for a coffee/hot chocolate, but they had alcoholic drinks as well. It's open from 8 AM - 10 PM! Such a range. I had the hojicha hot chocolate- which is delicious. The barista was great too, adding more marshmallows for my drink. Would love to come back here again for the emmaculate vibes. read more

A friend recommended this place and we decided to drop in. I ordered the Kinmokusei Latte which was super yummy and a little bit floral.

There is a small bar off to the side where you can add sweetener. read more
