It was a fantastic choice: my cheese scallion scone was crunchy on the outside and soft, well baked inside. What a wholesome taste, with the scallions delicately teasing the palate. Just light notes of salt... loved it. My friend had a marzipan honey scone. Both of our drinks were hot, strong enough, with foam topping it off. Great seating. Looks small but actually there are seats in the window & a spacious bench on the side.

I ordered a chai latte, which was very yummy, but I was actually the most impressed by their espresso chocolate loaf -- it was sooooooooo good!!!!!!

There's not a lot of space, but the tables are pretty and the booths are comfy, perfect for escaping the summer heat or winter cold. We got the Guava Matcha and Salted Miso Caramel Latte, both of which are delicious and superbly balanced. We didn't get to stay long, but I remember this place very well. Would definitely come back for coffee!

We stumbled on this cafe after deciding not to wait 2 hours for Golden Diner , which was only a couple minutes away by foot . The stone interior and big windows were so aesthetic. We got hot matcha lattes that were a bit grainy but otherwise not bad. We didn't do any work this time but it seems like a chill place to get some stuff done. There's a big table and a couple smaller tables that may be a little small depending on your set up. We think we might have seen some outlets(?) Overall, we loved the vibes of this little cafe and we might come back during our next NY trip

Cute space. Empty when we came, but filled up quickly and many people doing takeaway…read more I got the cappuccino and my husband got the roma latte. The cappuccino was solid and the roma latte tasted like drinking a creamy not too sweet liquid Nutella (in a good way). They use a hazelnut paste rather than syrup and you can really taste the difference. Worth a try if you like hazelnut, ferrero rochers, chocolate, Nutella, etc. They only have two pastries - concha and churro donut. We also decided to wait for their concha as they were just baking a fresh batch and oh my oh my. The slightly sweet and crumbly topping, pillowy steamy dough in cold rainy weather was exactly what we needed. The only thing I have qualms about is how little it was because we devoured it in an instant. If you're in the area, give this place a try. The coffee is good, the barista is super nice, and the pastry is to die for.

((4.50 stars))…read more Mandrake Cafe is a welcoming neighborhood coffee shop raising the caffeinated beverage business on Orchard Street. the interior is a modern clean light-soaked space with a reasonable amount of tables and seating for such a compact lean space. the focus is the coffee program with a few tea options. hailing from Mexico City, Mandrake Cafe serves a brew based on a dark roast coffee bean (i believe) and sources from Mexico, but roasts locally. the coffee is rich in deep flavor--with a smooth coffee flavor with a balanced bitter note, and almost like a chocolatey nutty note. the coffee aroma is delicious and really is the first thing that will lead you into enjoying the caffeinated brews before a sip. enjoyed both cortados and Americano's here and both are proficiently made with care...the consistency is no mean feat. it's another charming addition to the Lower East Side's coffee landscape. the barista's are friendly and knowledgeable and full of energy to chat while putting together your favorite coffee. they do get busy on the weekend, but the wait is worth it...especially if you're walking around the neighborhood and want some warm caffeinated vibes on the stroll through the LES.

I was greeted with a warm smile and the cashier was kind, answering all my inquiries. After I ordered, my matcha latte came out lightning quick. If you're looking for the matcha whiskey & bowl experience, this isn't it, but the matcha latte was delicious & very lightly sweetened. The ceremonial matcha notes come out lightly, overall a lovely matcha to sip on for the afternoon.

It is a quaint and small coffee shop. The service was nice and took the time to answer questions. I ordered all the stuffed dates they had that day and all are pretty solid. They are on the pricier end but I never had a stuffed date before and I truly enjoyed it. It was my way of being "fake healthy" :P. I would probably revisit again for more stuffed dates and to try a drink. Quick tip: if they run out of complementary dates and busy, they will not replenish so you will miss out on the freebie. They told me they will replenish it later in the day when there is down time so it is kind of first come first serve so get there early! They did tell me all the stuffed dates are made fresh daily.

We came at around 4pm, so it was unfortunately too late for me to try their Viet Iced Coffee options (bc it'll literally keep you up for the next 12 hrs...iykyk), so I opted for a less-caffeinated option.

The coconut doesn't taste artificial whatsoever and the condensed milk adds a lovely creamy taste. I almost inhaled my bev! Some seating inside, with additional seats outside. Le Gaz is also attached to a concept store (similar to Rhythm Zero/Bandit Running). Staff is overall super friendly.
