Best coffee I've had in awhile. I think I've also found the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC. Can't wait to come back here!
Nick GJune 7, 2017Nitro cold brew is Hot ; ) . Chocolate chip cookies are delicious and gooey . Caffeinate yourself and smile
Best coffee in the area, and some killer donuts/cookies. Try a Flat White or Nitro Cold Brew.
Nicole SerratoreJune 16, 2015Had a great almond milk latte. Grabbed a chocolate chip cookie per other tips. Very chocolate-y and cake like.
Whit MaullOctober 5, 2015I came for a great flat white but left even more impressed by the perfect chocolate chip cookies.
Alex HoMarch 28, 2015Fragrant not-overly-roasted beans. Delish flat white. Lovely latte art. Chill people.
apart from having the best coffee in midtown, you have to try the warm chocolate chip cookies, figgy sandwich, and blood orange ice tea. all delicious!
Hey folks, early mornings in the hot summer, don't leave their door wide open while you wait. It's bad for their electric bill and will just make it warmer inside. Stick it out.
Cam_in_BrisOctober 31, 2022Very solid iced lattes. Cookies are superior. Want to try the spinach and cheese danish.
Jun LuAugust 19, 2013The world famous La Esmeralda Special coffee is served here. It's $8 a cup for a reason.
Try the Flat White - Rich & smooth. The perfect drink to get your caffeine levels back up.
Espresso, excellent flat white, and chai, and baked goods. Oasis in the midtown desert.- JT SchindlerJanuary 20, 2014grab a chocolate chip cookie and a seat by the window; don't be shy to steal a seat or take it to go // dirty chai
Kimmie OhhAugust 14, 2020Get yourself a chocolate chip cookie & a flat white. You will not be disappointed!
martin cairneyDecember 24, 2014Wow - they even have flat white on the menu. No need for an Aussie to explain what it is. Awesome.
Jastine KhoApril 2, 2019They have the best chocolate chip cookies in NYC - really worth the trip to just get those.
Gabriel HayesAugust 28, 2015Weekday mornings, the line goes out the door. However they process it quickly and the coffee is well worth it.
Matthew YarwoodJune 6, 2013Yummy sandwiches and awesome coffee. Just ask the friendly staff for the wifi password if you're an out of towner!
Nice place. Some of the coffee drinks (well, most) are overpriced. But their normal + kyoto iced coffees are stellar. And the chocolate chip cookies!
Julia MMay 20, 2014Great for people watching & talking/meeting up with friends. Not so great for reading or doing work, it's a bit loud & cramped.
Janelle J.September 14, 2012Kyoto cold brew will leave you buzzing for hours. Try the Aussie standard: a flat white (like a latte with less foam)
Danny SullivanNovember 19, 2011OMG....THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! This place has the best chocolate chip cookie is amazing! fresh vanila latte awesome! Def check it out!

Steve KJune 11, 2014Hilarious . Best espresso in Midtown Manhattan it turns out... is roasted back home!

Josh SimmonsMarch 19, 2015Everything. Seriously. And now they serve Meat Hook sandwiches. Place can't get any better.
Natalie YoungFebruary 2, 2016Almond Dirty Chai was on point! Cute place to grab and go. Not much seating to stay.
alexandra kOctober 11, 2014Super cute space that gets real busy. Nab a cortado or some cold brew and take it to the park
AmandaOctober 26, 2011Get an iced kyoto coffee in the morning and a chocolate chip cookie once they are offered in the afternoon. Deliciousness all around.
Jon GoldmannJanuary 18, 2018Definitely better than Starbucks, breath of fresh air in a neighborhood of chains.
