Arvaci coffee - Vanilla matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I visited this coffee shop specifically because they had breakfast pierogi with scrambled eggs and scallions on the menu. Unfortunately the description did not in any way match what I received. Instead of fluffy scrambled eggs inside of a pillowy dumpling as described on the online menu, I got a pastry with chopped hard boiled eggs and dill. It was hot on the outside and cold on the inside. I ate a good amount of it because I was starving, but utterly disappointed. I also got a cold brew which was fine. I posted a pic of menu description vs what I got. read more

Arvaci coffee has repeatedly canceled my Uber Eats orders after they've been sitting in the system for 10-15 minutes or longer. It's frustrating because it wastes customers' time and forces them to reorder elsewhere and wait all over again. If delivery orders can't be fulfilled, they should be declined immediately rather than accepted and canceled later. read more

Have been here twice--most recently earlier this evening-- for TGTG bakery pickups and am a huge fan of Arvaci! Both times the service was so fast and friendly + I got 1-2 each of all their croissants, a cinnamon roll, and a cranberry scone to try. Also bought a Red Jacket Farms apple juice from the cooler; it was one of the best apple juices I've ever had tbh. Super bright, clean, adorable space too. Didn't notice they sold Arnold Palmers until I was about to leave! Classic cafe menu: hot or iced drinks, teas, hot chocolate, eclectic fruit-based drinks. Beautiful variety of savory and sweet baked goods including tarts, pierogis, a *lot* of vegetarian quiches, etc. which I appreciate a ton as a pescatarian w/ a vegetarian partner. Favorites: *Spinach and Feta Croissant *Almond Croissant *Chocolate Croissant I'll be back! read more

***3 1/2 stars*** I've enjoyed my handful of visits to Arvaci, but you know what I didn't enjoy? The walk over there. Honestly, it's a big reason I'm probably not going back any time soon - the trek down 37th between 8th and 9th might literally be the most depressing, grossest stretch in NYC, which is saying something. I've never gone down it without seeing at least one person shooting up heroin right on the sidewalk, and most of the time it's closer to five people. It looks like there's a methadone clinic or something down the street closer to 8th Ave, so you have to walk past hordes of drug addicts. If you have the ability/time, I'd 100% recommend taking the long way and accessing this place via 9th Ave. Why no one is bothering to clean this section up is beyond me, and I feel bad for the tourists paying actual money to stay at one of the hotels on this block too. Live and learn. Arvaci itself is much more pleasant though (how could it not be? The metaphorical bar is in hell.). The only time I've seen more than one other customer in there was coincidentally on my most recent trip this past Thursday, which again, might have something to do with the location. That's to my benefit - I've never had to wait particularly long for anything here. Also great? The customer service is truly excellent and sets itself apart; I think coffee places in general get graded on a curve (people love their caffeine), but the baristas behind the counter are noticeably friendlier and personable than your average bear. There's one younger woman who's always been there on my visits who's honestly just super sweet, the kind of person who yells out goodbye as you're leaving, even if she's serving other customers. Huge selling point. I've stopped by probably three or four times now. I'm always on the look for edgy flavored hot lattes (yes, even in the midst of this crippling heat advisory) and I enjoy the strawberry latte here. Since the weekend was almost upon us, I thought as a special treat it would be nice to also order something to munch on. The proprietors, I believe, are Eastern European, so there are a few intriguing pastries/savory snacks available, highlighted by a variety of pierogis. On this particular visit, I ordered a potato pierogi and a chicken pierogi, which required roughly a 10-minute warmup before being provided. Decent. The chicken was a little dry and the middle of both pierogis was a little cold so this should be heated up for another minute or two, but otherwise was perfectly fine. My experience with pierogis is pretty limited but these were large compared to prior ones I've ingested - the two of them were more than enough for a lunchtime entree. The interior/vibe situation isn't ideal, and I think that matters with coffee places, unless it's a straight-up to-go situation. There are two tables in here, including a full-on booth by the window that's on an elevated platform. I chose to sit there while I waited for my pierogis, and the table was noticeably sticky and hadn't been cleaned. The table was also uneven and I almost caused an accident when I inadvertently put too much of my weight on the edge getting up. It's honestly a little drab in there and looks like they very recently moved in and are still trying to figure out where everything should go, and I think they've been here for over a year. When you order a coffee, there isn't room for them to leave it on the counter for you (so basically, no pick-up area), and they have to awkwardly place it on the extreme edge of the counter for you to get, which requires you to reach over the prep section with the sweeteners, etc. That's probably an easy-ish fix and something I'd recommend. They're already significantly behind the eight-ball (boy does that feel like a cringy pun) based on the neighborhood location, so if able, I'd try to compensate for that by making the actual business more comfortable and hospitable. There's a lot to like here, especially the service - I'm just not sure it's enough to compensate for the surrounding drug den and less-than-ideal interior space. read more

Stopped by before I got on my train - cute little coffee shop tucked away on west 37th street. They have a bunch of different parties that looked pretty damn good. I ended up getting an oat latte - it was pretty average. Service was quick and efficient, barista was super friendly. read more

This continues to be one of my favorite coffee shops in the area! Their quiches hit the spot every time and I love grabbing one for lunch during the week. I also love their spinach croissants, but they are popular and often sold out by the afternoon. There usually isn't a wait and the food and coffee drinks are super consistent. A must try in midtown! read more

Went there to pick up my tgtg order. The pickup window is until 5:15pm. Got there at 5:05pm and the store was already closed. Walked 15 minutes to get there. This sucks. Now you are acusing me lying?! I actually took a photo of your store closed at 5:06pm and sent it to TGTG customer service as evidence. read more

Maybe I came here on a bad/busy day? I really wanted to like this place because I'm looking for a neighborhood coffee shop but unfortunately, my latte missed the mark. It tasted just like frothed milk, I didn't get any coffee or espresso taste at all. There is WiFi and loft style seating so perhaps could be good for a quick break from work. read more

Stopped in to grab some Matcha lattes. Gotta give them credit for using actual Matcha instead of pre-sweetened mix. They offer a variety of different options other than just milk. There was a Russian girl working when we stopped in. Very sweet and personable. Did a great job making my latte. Will definitely stop in again when in the area. read more

Standard coffee shop. Popped in on a rainy day. Not a ton of seating so the upstairs was full but strangely the downstairs was entirely empty. They sell some pastries but none were super attractive. Ultimately, fair price for a flat white. read more

Tiny little spot with good coffee and a few baked items for a quick grab and go breakfast treat. Worth a stop if you're in the area!

Friendly staff, very cozy and small. It's like you are stepping into a true European Cafe. Nice workspace. There is limited seating but if you get there early you can carve out a spot. It does get crowded with the morning rush but not many people sitting and staying. Coffee is really good and so are the pastries. read more

Amazing coffee and lovely place to hang out for a quick coffee. Pastries are amazing and if you are lucky they just came fresh out of the oven. Great and friendly stuff! read more

This place is on the way to work for me, so I stopped by on a weekday morning wanting a caffeine hit. The store is decently sized with some seating inside, and service was fast and friendly. The cortado was quite average. Really dark and bitter; felt like the beans they used had been overroasted. Mouthfeel of the milk foam also wasn't great. Wouldn't super recommend for their coffee, but seems like a decent place to hang out and sit around at! read more

The woman at the counter this morning was so kind! I ordered a small iced latte with an added shot and it was perfect! Will be back

Arvaci coffee was right down the street from our hotel during our stay in NYC, and it is FANTASTIC! The interior is an oasis from the chaos of NYC, there is an upstairs loft. The individuals helping are extremely friendly and skilled at making delicious coffee drinks. I highly recommend you find this gem in Hells Kitchen, NYC! read more

Stopped by here on Saturday morning before continuing on my walk around New York. I ordered an almond latte, and I must say, it's the best one I had during my NYC trip. One note, the girl at the register definitely gave me the ultimate New York experience with her pissy attitude (hence the lost star). But the latte was really good. read more

I haven't had a really fabulous high quality coffee drink in so long, so it was a treat to find this place. I had a creamy cafe mocha and a flaky and sweet almond croissant. The service is quick and polite. It's a very small establishment, so we decided to take our breakfast to go-but I will be back before we leave NY! read more

A nice little spot for a quick cup. I'm pretty surprised it doesn't have more reviews, but given the location (tucked into 37th near a bunch of midtown hotels), I guess that makes sense. Arvaci is easy to find thanks to the cheerfully decorated floral exterior. The inside is a little spare, but there are a couple of places to sit, including 2 small tables upstairs. It's definitely more of a grab and go place than somewhere to sit and hang out. Prices are very reasonable for the area, with a healthy selection of hot and iced drinks. I particularly like that they offer an "iced cappuccino," which they explained had 3 shots of espresso (vs. 2 in the latte) and a cold foamed top layer. As someone who prefers a higher espresso to milk ratio, this was perfect for me. read more

A bit expensive side but they have really good cappuccino. I also got cranberry scone too. It's also good. They bake pastries on site. So if you are lucky you get a hot one just coming out from oven. :) Service is quick and efficient. So perfect for grab and go. Highly recommended! read more

I don't know if there's a person in our neighborhood that comes to Arvaci coffee more (see my 302+ visits below). I was here when it was Madmen Coffee, then became Champion Coffee and now Arvaci and I can honestly say this team does it right. Incredible coffee. Team listens to my order every time and makes it, EXACTLY how I like it. I saw some of the other reviews (there's a handful of negatives from haters) commenting on the staff - who are all international with English as their second language so they might not be as "american cheerful" as a starbucks barista but I love them, particularly fond of Liz and Nick who even when they are slammed always are friendly kind and most importantly attentive to the orders. Ignore the idiots who rated these guys poorly - they are hard working, kind and wake up as early as 4/5am to get in to us to make our day a little brighter!

I was super excited when Arvachi opened. It is a cute shop that has an easy pickup and small seating. All of their drinks were solid (8/10) and I also really liked their selection of pastries. My favorite is the chocolate croissant and their spinach and cheese croissant (10/10). However, I like to drop by on my way to work in the morning and they are usually not opened. Their hours say that they open at 7 am but often when I pass it around 7:15 am, it is still not opened or none of their pastries are ready. I appreciate it for an afternoon snack or coffee but I would not recommend going to early in the morning. read more

Nice local neighborhood coffee shop. Very small, but cozy. On my way to the Javits Center I stopped and so glad I did. My almond latte was perfection. Highly recommend this spot. Just wish the man behind the counter had a bit more enthusiasm and charm. I know, that's a lot to ask, I'm being a total brat, it was early, and I'm not even a local. And yet, it would have been nice to get a friendly 2-sentence chitchat. Nevertheless, I recommend. read more

Good quality coffee and house baked croissants . Service was fast and good. For those who complained about price- welcome to NY! It's not a grocery shop, it's a good cozy coffee shop with WiFi.
