    Iced Shakerato, Iced NOLA, and pound cake
    Leenzie B.

    Me & my partner were here a few weeks ago, the latte and the cafe loaf were amazing! The staff were friendly and the ambiance was cool like a normal cafe in the city.

    We had the NOLA iced coffee and spearmint tea. NOLA tasted similar to cafe au latte from café Du Monde. Limited seating available inside the shop. Additional seating outside. Service was quick.

    Blue bottle coffee stays as one of my favorite coffee spots in NYC despite being such a big chain. Have had a few of their drinks, including their NOLA coffee which is nice and reminiscent of Viet Coffee. Most recently I enjoyed their Shakerato. SHAKERATO - a midpoint between the classic Italian shakerato (just espresso, and ice shaken to a foamy texture, no milk or sweetener) and the shaken espresso at Starbucks that has gotten so popular. This is sweetened and includes milk and is such a nice refreshing coffee treat that isn't too sweet especially for the warmer weather. This has been my favorite version of this that I've tried thus far. They get the balance right between the ice, the foam, the creaminess and sweetness with the bitterness of the coffee.

    I think I visit this location every single time I come to New York City. I just absolutely love it, and the employees are always so nice and welcoming. The coffee is always perfection, and the place is always so clean. I don't know what else there is to say except I'll be back!

    If you're a coffee drinker, you have to stop by. Very affordable. I took one sip of that coffee and felt it travel to every part of my body. Made me feel like Goku taking a senzu bean.

    Unsurprisingly busy due to the location. Staff was attentive, quick and polite. Coffee was great. Random note, they don't have coffee sleeves so if you have sensitive hands they'll provide you with an additional cup. Lids are self service which gives you and opportunity to enjoy the latte art. More seats than expected for the size!

    - Ambiance/Vibe: while it was close to closing, this location was still bustling, but it was very sleek and clean even with the crowd. I loved the over all look of the space and area. - Coffee: the coffee was very smooth and so good. It reminded me of one of my favorites from back home. - Food: the shop did have a couple of food items, but as it was near closing we didn't try any this time. - Prices: the cost was pretty on point to most majors chains - Staff: The staff was relatively nice, but I could tell they were ready to go with the time. - Merch: they really knew they branding, and had a great array of bottle, mugs, and other merch All in all I would give this one a 4/5 's. The Rockefeller location was a little hard to find, but I would enjoy going back.

    it is a little bit to be founded. However, it still attracts lots of customers. I like the NOLA series. No matter hot one or cold one. My elders like the hot tea.

    I visited Blue Bottle on the recommendation of a friend who recently visited NYC. I am not much of a coffee drinker but it was cold out and I wanted something warming. After conversing with the staff member behind the register, I opted for a green tea. It may have had something else in it. The staffer called my name and I watched as my drink was decorated with a heart (see photo). It was not as hot as I would have liked it to be. Thus, it didn't take long for me to drink it up vs. having a desirous, warming drink. Like I said, I am not much of a coffee drinker and don't often visit coffee shops.

    Conveniently Located on the lower level at the Rockefeller Center near the restrooms (were very clean by the way). They are designed to order, pay, and take your purchase to-go. The menu is straight to the point offering espressos, lattes, cold brew, pour over, tea, and hot chocolate... Customer service was excellent, I enjoyed light conversation and felt welcomed. The employees take pride in their work and share their knowledge about coffee. I learned a few things today about how to slurp coffee to experience the notes of flavors such as raspberry, chocolate, and molasses which was listed for the pour over... I ordered "regular coffee with cream" and was worried about the extra notes changing the flavor I was hoping for. I was impressed; and after paying 10.50 for 2 small coffees, I was relieved it tasted so much better than expected. I would happily purchase from there again if in the area. Definitely would stop in during the winter time since they are so close to the ice skating area. I would like to try a hot chocolate during watching the snow fall.

    This is a must for me when in NYC. Options are different than Starbucks. Don't expect to find overly sugared options and fancy flavors. This place is more about the coffee. Only real sugar is available for sweetening. I visited the Rockefeller Center shop. Space is cramped but tables are offered. Mobile ordering is available. I'll be back as soon as I'm back in NYC!

    Iced Cafe Mocha
    Kayla H.

    I am still thinking about this coffee days later. I got the Iced Cafe Mocha. It tasted so fresh you would think they just picked the espresso beans that morning. It had a hint of a fruity aftertaste that kept getting better as I drank it. The prices ranged from $4-6. If the line is long, don't let that deter you! Our line moved fast and we had our coffee in no time. There are Blue Bottle locations all around the city, that's how you know it's good! I wish there were locations close to home. I will definitely return during my next trip to the city!

    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.

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.

    I believe Seoul Sweets is currently the only spot in NYC specializing in ssal cakes (korean rice…read moreflour cake), and I love how light and not too sweet it is. Made with rice flour and egg whites, it is so airy, and literally feels like cutting through a cloud. Plus, it's gluten-free! A perfect little cake for a small celebration They also make the prettiest korean dessert sets, alongside bingsu, dubai chewy cookies, and einspanner. They're seriously always keeping up with the trends! *Black Sesame Ssal Cake $16.5 ** My top pick. The black sesame layer on top was the richest. Super nutty without being too heavy. The sponge and cream cheese had a subtle black sesame flavor. It reminded me of the cream in their black sesame einspanner. *Mugwort Ssal Cake $16.5 * This one was surprisingly rich. The mugwort had a strong earthy, herby flavor, while the plain cream cheese layer helped cut through the richness. *Mango Ssal Cake $16.5 This was a bit of a miss to me as there wasn't any mango-flavored sponge or mango puree inside. It was just a plain rice flour cake with a few slices of fresh mango on top. Though I could really taste the mild, clean rice flavor in this one. *Da-On Sang Set $26 ** A must-order if it's your first time here! The mochi was super soft, and the strawberry was so ripe and sweet. The yak-gwa and joo-ak were chewy, sticky, and just sweet enough, especially paired with the tea that came with the set. *Black Sesame Einspanner $8.5 *Mugwort Einspanner $8.5 The cream was lighter compared to other einspanners I've had. The mugwort one was bursting with earthy flavor. Definitely try it if you're a mugwort fan. The black sesame was alright. I personally wish it was a little richer.

All of them tasted authentic (I'm Korean) and well executed. Also tried the black sesame cake which was amazing. The desserts here reminded me of rice cake bakeries/cafes in Korea so it's pretty legit. Sad I haven't made it to their store yet but it looks beautiful based on pictures. I'd love to go try their desserts in store one day!
