    Ran in here after Starbucks told me they had no brew coffee this morning. So I ordered a regular coffee at Blue and paid $2 more for a smaller cup. I was not impressed with the coffee but the service was so fast it was still processing my payment when they handled me my coffee.

    Black cardamom latte

    Came here on a weekday and ordered the black cardamom late. There is always a line here, but it moves quickly. I enjoyed the latte very much, as it was a unique combination of flavors. Service was efficient and friendly!

    Love Blue Bottle Coffee and this location is no different. No bathrooms or outlets. Yes tables, space, wifi. Good for a short-term study session, and near central park if you want to take a walk over to the south end of the park after. Had a decaf cardamom latte which was actually really good; I don't even like cardamom but it was just really over the top and while it definitely was strong initially, it settles away quickly and brings you to the beautifully rich, creamy, bold experience that is their latte. You think blue bottle is a chain and therefore not quality but it still remains to be one of my favorite coffee places in the city (yes in the whole city). How do they get their drinks so consistently good?? They also always have interesting seasonal flavors coming out, especially their NOLA series. Check it out if you haven't yet! You won't regret it.

    Aaaah, Blue Bottle Coffee, the last time I had the opportunity to have one of their coffees was in San Francisco many years ago. I was super excited to see Blue Bottle in NYC and of course I had to stop in for a jolt. The coffee was as I remember... Perfect.., It was soooo good. Perfectly prepared and executed. Pricey.. yes, I didn't expect much less, it's NYC, but would I go again, absolutely. You get what you pay for, in my opinion. The location is very near Rockefeller Center, in Midtown. It's easily missed, you have to go down a few steps to enter and it's definitely a take out kind of place, only a few seats to sit & wait on your brew. If you love fantastic no nonsense coffee this is your go to spot while in the city.

    I had heard about Blue Bottle coffee a lot - I passed this and thought I should give it a try. It definitely did not disappoint. The cold brew tasted very fresh and the staff made sure to ask how much almond milk was the correct amount. Very pleased with my experience.

    Delish coffee. Strong and pleasant tasting. I got the NOLA cold brew coffee, so strong and naturally creamy tasting, too.

    Conversely, is there outdoor seating?

    Hello Brendan, Our Midtown North cafe has no dedicated outdoor seating but there are places… 

    Is there indoor seating?

    Hello Amanda, ​Thanks for writing in, happy to help. Unfortunately, we do not have indoor…

The strawberry puree added the perfect hint of sweetness to the drink, and they use real strawberries!!! The matcha was sooo creamy, and their matcha quality was really good as well. Really small store, they do have a couple tables inside, but I'd recommend enjoying it while strolling around in the city! Workers were really sweet, and service was pretty quick! They have this smiski WITH AN ADORABLE KNITTED STRAWBERRY HAT omg quite literally the cutest most perfect thing I've seen in a while.

    Was looking for a matcha in K-town and decided on Mika's Direction because it is focused on matcha…read more I appreciate how their menu offers multiple matcha options. Even though I wasn't going to try all three, I like having options to choose from. I was debating between Hinata and Hajime, so I asked the staff which one has a strong flavor and she recommended Hinata. I went with that. It's meant to have a nutty creamy taste. I'm satisfied that I can taste the nutty creaminess. Though I wish it can be bolder and have more umami. Perhaps it has to do with concentration. At the same time, $6.50 is a good price given the location, alternative matcha and drink options nearby, flavor. I also asked how much matcha they use in the medium vs large sizes. Medium is 4g for a 12oz cup. Large is 5g for a 16oz cup. Even though large is a better deal by volume, I got medium because it has a higher concentration of matcha. Since I got a hot latte, my cup came with the lid on it already. I didn't look at it immediately, so no photo available lol. I looked later on and the color looks bright green. The seating is weird where they only have a table with two seats against the window. Then there's a random one chair next to the cashier and another one next to the pickup area. The stools are slightly taller than the counters which made me feel like I was towering over the counter. I don't recommend betting on spending time to hang out there. Just buy it to go.

    I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

    This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
