Edit: I reached out to the email and they didn't respond, this appears to be a generic auto reply to negative reviews. They offer a "nitro" cold brew that is served with ice and is indistinguishable from a regular iced coffee. I saw these drinks being made and there's no foam at all. Hugely disappointing and does not merit the price. Banana bread was ok and the cafe aesthetics are nice.

This is gross and not up to par to other Gong Cha locations. I've never seen drinks like this. Do not order here, beware! Responding to owner: Just because it was ordered online does not mean the quality should not be the same. That can't be the excuse. I've seen other reviews here and they align with my experience. I've ordered from other Gong Cha locations and the quality has always been good or decent except this location, which is the worst. They seem to be cheaping out on the ingredients

Having seen Uniqlo Coffee a few months back, I wanted to give it a go, but I never got the chance to until today. It is somewhat hidden, as it is on the second floor. You almost want to take the prevalent escalator up to the third floor, but I suggest you go to the left and walk up to the second floor. It is behind the embroidery station. The space was well designed; it is compact but has everything. The seating consists of seats arranged around two large poles. I will say it was annoying beca

I’ve been to this coffee shop a few times now, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The place has a modern, stylish design that feels warm and inviting. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone—relaxed, clean, and perfect for anything from getting some work done to just taking a quiet break in the middle of the day. What really makes the experience stand out is the staff. Every time I’ve been there, they’ve been friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They alwa

Very cute spot, I've been here for their amazing coffees during the day but didn't realize they turn into a wine/cocktail space at night! I dropped by during their “pu tao jiu” pop up and tried some incredible wine from modern chinese producers and will definitely be back.

I really want to gate keep this spot but I want them to thrive, so here I am leaving a review. The vibe here is immaculate ❤️ want somewhere chill yet tasteful and chill, this is the spot. Perfect for a quick coffee and/or light bite to hangout with friends. Not too noisy at all but still lovely enough that studying and getting some work done is just lovely 🥰 Coffee is great and they also now serve food!

I ordered the pistachio cake and the flavor was really good — moist, fresh, and not too sweet. However, I did notice a problem with the packaging. The paper used to wrap the bottom of the cake was peeling, and some of the black ink transferred onto the bottom of the cake. It didn’t affect the taste, but it was concerning to see. I hope the bakery can consider using a different type of wrapping paper, because the cake itself was delicious.

I truly do not understand how this place is not always packed. I had to write a review. This is my second time eating here and this place is a hidden gem. They have some great vegan options which I appreciate. The food is also made on the spot and if you need to make alterations it can be done. Keep in mind that you will be spending $20 and more on one meal. I think that it is totally worth it.Also ask how spicy a dish is because it can kind of catch you of guard😅😂.I would highly suggest grab

The cafe is close to the Met Cloisters and subway station. There are a few tables. We liked their specialty lattes. It can be hard to read the menu on the screen as it appears and vanishes quickly. The line will form by where people sit because the space is deep.

I stopped in while running errands to try their homemade empanadas. I tried the spicy chicken and beef. These are hands down the best empanadas I have ever had—and make sure you warm them up! The kind staff will likely do it anyway. They are baked with homemade dough and the meats with deeply flavored with various spices, perfect ratio of salt. I can’t decide which I enjoyed more. Initially I just purchased one, at $5, but had to run back in for another! They also have affordable fresh acai bowl

I came in with only 15 minutes left before closing, but the staff still welcomed kindly, which I really appreciated. I had chamomile tea with honey added, and it was really soothing. There were simply no seating areas, so it seems like a takeout-focused place.

First, support local Black-owned businesses! PERIOD. The owner is the kindest soul and imbues the atmosphere with such joy and community. I always enjoy interacting with other customers and you can tell this cafe is not just about the coffee, but also about bringing people together. Not to mention that coffee tastes great and there is always a fun selection of pastries and other good eats.

Awesome , warm very holiday and neighborhood friendly cafe. They offer alot of delicious coffee, tea, fresh made cold ice tea lemonade with fruits etc. Deserts are freshly made daily and delicious. They also offer Gelato. This place is a must if you're looking for a quiet coffee spot day or night .

Inconspicuous black storefront that sells delicious bubble tea 🧋. Dragon Tea is different than the other bright, saturated, and saccharine bubble tea cafes. They’re very understated and quiet; a better place to meet that feels more calm. They serve natural hand-crafted tea and there’s an extensive menu of offerings. If you can’t decide, they have a short list of best sellers. You can’t go wrong with the brown sugar milk tea with boba. You can choose your ice and sugar level; as well as non dair

To the owner running this place, you're the most incompetent person I've ever come across, especially with your workers that don't understand what the issue is: YOU are charging my CARD $20 for 3 drinks that I wasn't given because you don't have the ingredients to make them.

I had such an amazing experience at this cafe the barista Jose generously sponsored my drinks for my first ever press on nail workshop , and everything was absolutely perfect. The strawberry matcha and iced coffee were a huge hit—everyone kept talking about how good they were all day. Not only were the drinks delicious, but Jose was also so kind, professional, and easy to work with. He truly helped elevate the entire experience for my guests, and I’m so grateful for his support.

I placed an order online at this Starbucks. While waiting, I noticed that the staff member took part of my order and gave it to two customers she clearly knew, then poured the remainder back into my cup. My first cup was clearly not filled completely. When I raised this concern, the staff insisted there was no problem and that the amount in my cup was sufficient. The second cup, which was made by another employee, was obviously filled properly and more full than the first. I then spoke with the

I was curious about the bad reviews for this location of Hungry Ghost coffee, so I stopped by today for a decaf cappuccino to stay. I usually go to the 7th ave and Garfield location and enjoy the Stumptown coffee they serve. Is the coffee any different here? No, it’s just as good as the other locations. Are there outlets for laptops for folk that plant themselves here all day? Nope, but if that concerns you, get a portable power bank. Can you bring animals inside? Only if it’s a service animal a

Decent to go coffee. Steep prices for a place without an inside or chairs 1/2 the time. But not absurd. They have an impressively expansive menu for a shop that big. Like sandwiches and smoothies and a lot of coffees and salads. In the afternoon there are tables with umbrellas.

This store is truly exceptional. I’m not sure what AJ’s official role is, but he does an outstanding job making customers feel welcomed and valued—like part of the family. Royce was equally impressive, maintaining great conversation while preparing my drink and ensuring a positive experience throughout. I was even offered a bottle of water on their behalf, which was a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. The level of service provided was above and beyond, and it’s clear they genuinely care about

We got a piece of Napoleon from PEP Bakehouse & Coffee Shop randomly and it was so delicious. The layers were crispy and the filling was so creamy. It is located inside Netcost supermarket and hidden in the corner. The decor is simple and cozy. The options weren’t in a great variety but decent enough for a dessert or breakfast.
