    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?

    ordered the hinata matcha latte and it was great!! it's so nutty and i loved it…read more it was a quaint tiny store and they sold japanese tea leaves. so glad my friend and i snagged the one table that they had indoors :)

    Small hidden shop in Koreatown specializing in matcha and tea-based drinks!…read more I came to Mika's on a Friday morning, and while there wasn't a line, it did feel packed with the five people inside. I'd actually passed by this place multiple times but had no idea it was a cafe. This shop itself is more of a grab-and-go, but it might still take a while since all drinks are whisked and made to order. There isn't really space for a line to form inside, so you may need to wait outside to order (there's also a bit of a lack of room to wait for your drink once it's ordered). My strawberry matcha came out to $9.25 total, which is pretty pricey, so I expected a lot. In total, it took me around 10-ish minutes to get my drink with about 4 people in front of me. At first it took a while for our orders to get taken since the two employees were focused on getting drinks out ASAP, one person was preparing the syrups and milk, and the other was making the matcha. The matcha itself had a nice green color. I've had many strawberry matchas prior to this, and based on my experience, this place was alright. The strawberry syrup was nice and not too sweet, but I wish there was a bit more flavoring or more of it, as after two sips I couldn't taste the strawberry at all. Overall, it's a nice shop with cute trinkets around and their own products they sell, like matchas and tea sets. However, for $9, it was a lot for what the drink offered in my opinion.

    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.
