Modern coffee shop located in Chinatown, Manhattan, NYC. Discreet facade for entrance without any awning or ubiquitous lavish outdoor business name signage which this coffee shop can be easily missed. I personally prefer to be obscure at times to be recluse from being disturbed. I skipped breakfast before exiting my home which enticed my taste for pastries at Blue Bottle Coffee. I have a small predilection for pastries. I always enjoyed browsing the bakery glass encasement looking at the various baked goodies among various flavors and items. Customer service is attentive and friendly. Almond croissant, $7.00 This was solid and the center almond paste filling was sufficient, but I wish it was abundant. It was entirely covered in white powder sugar with almond. It was flaky and buttery crust. It was marked "Bien Cuit" on the food display label in the glass encasement case. Bien Cuit, means "well done" in French. Chocolate chip cookie, $4.00 This is to be my second breakfast. This cookie hit the spot! Absolutely delicious for flavor, especially texture, dark brown appearance and good well balanced consistency for the classic traditional chocolate chip cookie as one of my favorite sweet. I do not like nuts in cookies. The dough was baked to a good crispiness which was not hard to chew. I do not like chewiness for soft baked, but highly prefer crispiness. Solid with substance! This food item is also marked "Bien Cuit" on the display glass encasement case. This cookie was the highlight of my day. I would surely return for more. No comment for the coffee or beverages as I did not purchase any. My intent for this visit was for the pastries. "I'm only here for the food." - Jacqueline, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film I did obtain my sales receipt for keepsake. Their register printer is awful as the ink skips and omits the itemized price, total amount, paid amount and change. Thankfully, no neccesary but plaguing sales tax was tacted to my bill. Ergo, four stars as the Blue Bottle was defective cash register to print a legible sales receipt. The foyer area contains two steps near the cash wrap counter similar to a impractical sunken living room appearance. The foyer is small but customers will crowd surrounding the cash wrap waiting for their drink orders. There is a condiment kiosk station that also serve as a counter. I did not have to wait long for order taking, payment, and fulfillment. Nota Bene: Watch your step when entering, ordering and crowding the cash wrap. read more

Blue Bottle is pretty good- it kind of depends on the location you go to. The one in Tribeca on Canal St is a good location. I got the Yuzu Orange Seasonal latte and it was awesome. Went another time and got a matcha latte that wasn't so good. Nice spot to sit and do computer work. Service is average. I'd recommend any of their seasonal lattes. Not sure I'd get anything else there. The small latte pictured here was $8, so it is a bit of a splurge. read more

Solid spot to stop for coffee while walking around lower manhattan. I typically drink their new orleans style but most recently tried the matcha since I needed something lighter on caffeine. A bit on the pricey side even for NYC coffee, but still good! In the times I've stopped by, it's always been fairly busy inside with a decent amount of seating taken, but line to order/receive coffee has been minimal. Good if you're on the go! read more

Came in to grab a quick coffee before work. The cafe is minimalistic and is set up with bar chairs set near the window. The tables have hooks underneath for guests to hang their bags/jackets. I decided to try their seasonal winter latte for my first visit here and it was pretty and delicious! Its default milk is oat milk. It's not watered out and it had the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. The downside is just how expensive it was but for its quality I would say it's worth it to try. Highly recommend getting the winter latte before the season is over! read more

Came here multiple times with my friends and family and everyone had a positive experience. My favorite drinks are the hojicha latte, cascara fizz, and the yuzu fizz. Hojicha latte; 5/5; I love how it's not sweet at all and you can actually taste the dark roasted green tea. This latte is my moms favorite as well. I also love how they sifted it throughly we're there aren't any lumps. Cascara fizz; 5/5; this is one of my favorite refreshers during the summer time. It's not sour at all and super refreshing and has the right amount of fizz to it. Yuzu; 5/5; for me I love sour things so yuzu has just the right amount of tartness in the drink. It might not be loved by some people but for me this is always my go to summer drink. Would defiantly get this again. Ambience; 5:5; this cafe in particular has ample amount of seating compared to the other ones I've been to in the city. I love how they have marble tables which is best for the gram. Note; they don't have a bathroom upstairs but they're connected with a hotel and once u go down the stairs the bathroom will be there. Tip; they accept cash and card. Would definitely come back to this location! read more

Super friendly, this blue bottle coffee is hard to find out. It's located on Broadway across from Starbucks. Inside is Huge and they share with another hotel. (You can go there and get a place to sit down. Comfortable couch) friendly cashier and quick service. Water is for self-service. most of the pastries are gone around 5:30pm. Highly recommended :) read more

Had dropped by for a while before heading to the Day of the Dead event right across the street in Tribeca. Ordered a 12 oz hot chocolate with oat milk for $6, pricing is considered as reasonable for non-coffee drinks at Blue Bottle Coffee. I love how authentic and chocolatey their hot cocoa tastes, it's not watered down at all. Since I'd gotten there an hour before closing time at 7pm, all the pastries and baked goods were already sold out for the day. Ambiance wise isn't too different from the other locations. Staff is very friendly and helpful. No bathroom though. You can pay with either credit/debit card and/or cash. Love that there're outlets attached to the wall and hooks to hang your bag and jacket underneath the table. Can definitely see myself returning wherever I come by this area. Til next time!!! read more

I've tried a number of the croissants at this spot. They were super flaky and fresh. I would recommend this spot for the almond croissant. It was the most worth it value wise since it has some almond flavored filling inside and almond with powdered sugar on the top. The everything croissant spiral would be next if you're looking for something a tad salty. Croissant $5.25 Chocolate croissant $5.50 Everything croissant $5.50 Almond croissant $5.50 read more

I'm very sad to write this review but honestly I was so excited to try blue bottle coffee, it's been on my list FOREVER (I'm from Seattle) and the coffee just was not good. At least it let me down slowly because the baristas were all very nice, the place itself was beautiful but the coffee was not good. I got a half sweet simple syrup latte. read more

I had an early morning appointment in the area and needed a coffee fix before we hopped into the car for the 1.5 hour drive to JFK to pick up my MIL. I actually had no idea there was a Blue Ribbon on this corner so close to Chinatown and was pleasantly surprised at being able to grab a NOLA iced coffee in the area. Staff were nice and friendly. I was in and out within 10 minutes. It's a pretty big space, so you can definitely get your drink to stay and just enjoy the cafe. read more

This was my first time visiting SoHo and I was only in NYC for two days and you need to stop by Blue Bottle. I was fortunate enough to find this location and this one was a big one. It had plenty of seating (I believe this may be the only Blue Bottle in SoHo) and there is also a bathroom that's also connected to a hotel. I ordered my usual, which is the Sweet Latte with Oat Milk and my drink was ready by the time I was done using the restroom. Must I say anything about the taste? Blue Bottle is always superior when it comes to their drinks and I got my good caffeine rush. Again -- there's plenty of seating here so whether you need to study, chat with friends or just wanna wind down, this location has got you covered. read more

Cute spot, perfect for a quick coffee date, or a afternoon of focusing on your mid-week report. I had some time to kill before a meeting, so I popped in to grab something to eat as well as a chai tea latte. It was abnormally hot so I opt'd to try something different like their yuzu lemonade as I needed something refreshing. This drink I could get behind. The subtle taste of yuzu and the sour of the lemon paired very nicely together. I would totally order this again as a non-coffee drinker. Next, because I was famished, I ordered, what looked to be, the last ham and swiss on a baguette. This was quite good for a cafe sandwich, and surprisingly very filling. I wish I took a picture, because this sammies was definitely worthy of one. Just wish I wasn't too hungry to forget! Plenty of spots to sit with a super cool vibe. I am about it! Definitely pop in if you need a spot to work or chill. You won't be disappointed! read more

Ambiance: 5/5 I would LOVE for my lobby to look like this. What a smart way to make use of the space. The check in (for what I assume is a hotel) is in the floor below and they made great use of the space by having two coffee shops share the ground floor thereby serving not only the hotel guests but also attracting coffee shop patrons, like myself. Service: 5/5 It seems like if you're a regular here, the staff will know you by name. They're very pleasant, and it just adds to the experience and matches the ambiance that the space provides. Coffee: I don't drink coffee much anymore, but only because I have become very selective of the coffee I drink. I get excited about blue bottle coffee because it's rich and goes down smooth. I'll always pick blue bottle coffee when given a choice. read more

Always come by here on a Sunday morning and the staff is friendly and helpful. This location is connected to a hotel and has a few steps to go up to the store, but they have a wheelchair lift if needed. They have a few pastries and cafe items to eat. My favorites are the strawberry rhubarb pound cake, which is pretty sweet, the blondie, and the ham and cheese baguette which they can toast for you. Their coffee is always great and never disappoints. read more

This location is great! It's right outside Chinatown and connected to a hotel but it doesn't get overly crowded. I went on a Saturday afternoon and got a simple cold brew. It's a very casual spot with lots of seating options inside that range from tables to couches (more couch seating). There were groups of people chatting and also others just doing their own thing. It's a great coffee shop to relax since it's not noisy inside either. The cold brew was good but there weren't really many drink options on the menu, or pastries either. read more

This location needs a little bit of help... friendly staff, but omgeeee... took, what felt like forever to get a cappuccino... really? It's just foam and espresso shot... not sure why it took over 15 mins... there were only 4 drinks ahead of me... slow machine maybe? Idk. Nevertheless, still enjoyed the cappuccino... sigh. PSA: Blue Bottle shares the space with the occupying hotel (they also have a cafe... right next to Blue Bottle); just make sure you're on the correct side! #yelplife read more

I love that the matcha lattes here aren't a sugar bomb like they are at Starbucks. When I asked the barista if the matcha latte could be made unsweetened, they said it has a bit but honestly, it wasn't noticable. We stopped in and the place had ample seating but also had a larger standing bar that we used before heading out with our drinks to go. This location isn't far from the African American Burial Ground National Monument, so stop by before checking out the national monument. read more

There is too much dough, and the glaze was paper thin, seriously!!

Mango Gelato. Very tasty!

The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

I'm so used to matcha and jasmine flavors now, so I wanted to try something different. I had the tongmu lapsang salted cheese milk tea and I liked it. Never heard of tongmu lapsang but Google says it's a type of smoked black tea from China. The drink had notes of hazelnut in it. I never had a nutty, chocolatey tea flavor combo before so it was refreshing to taste.

Ten Thousand Coffee

I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.

Hamburger America

While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience.

Plus, they feature rotating regional specials. The Wisconsin is bathed in butter. The Mississippi is breadcrumbed and deep-fried. The Lansing features Michigan olive mayo.

The ambience - very very old school hamburger joint vibes; surprised there were no servers on rollerskates inside lol. But very fun. The service was friendly and prompt. I ordered the fried onion burger and a side of slaw. The slaw...while having good flavor (I think a kick of mustard), was just drowning in watery mayo. But on to the burger - good lord were those onions piping hot lol, but very very tasty and added a nice element of sweetness to the burger. The smashburger patties were nicely cooked - though I did find the patties didn't really have the crispy lacing, perhaps of the added moisture from the onions; with a great video of the griddle and kitchen, it did seem like the classic smash burgers did have that crispy look. Either way, the burger was still very satisfying and I'm glad I came by. I'll definitely have to come in for the classic smash and compare!
