Stopped by while running errands one Sunday afternoon. The place was quite crowded so goes to show how popular this place was. The decor in this place was a mixture of modern and minimalistic. A lot of potted plans are strewn around the counters and seating areas. The cafe also has a lot of cool photographs. The beverages are served in some unique grey clay coffee cups which I thought was great and went with the decor. The cafe has a small gift spot within its walls. You can buy some good coffee beans, cups, and some cool coffee table books among other things. I ordered the famous Horchata Latte, that everyone keeps raving about and I must say the latte did not disappoint. The coffee beans were well roasted and seemed to be of good quality. The Horcitta flavor was present enough to taste but did not overpower the drink. Overall a great cafe that is serious about its coffee. read more

Soho has all kinds of "weird" aka fashion coffee. Coffee integral was one of the few places combining fun things and coffee as one shop. The concepts now have already spreading to place like Janes in Williamsburg. However, when I first came here, I am very fond of this new vibe. Service is nice and you can pick up little cool things along with holding a cup of coffee. read more

This place is very hidden and quaint, so if you aren't walking around in the area, it will be hard to spot it. But once you do, trust that you found a great work or study spot that is very close to SoHo. One drawback for me personally was that they didn't have the option to get oat milk in my matcha, but regardless, it was very cozy reading a book and sipping on my matcha from a hand-made rustic mug! read more

This place has a modern, fancy interior and nice baristas, so I enjoyed hanging out inside. Sadly, I really didn't enjoy the almond milk latte. While it was a big portion, it just didn't taste good. I could hardly taste any espresso, the drink tasted grainy, and the aftertaste was strange. I also tried the mocha latte and it was way too sweet. I love the idea of supporting Nicaraguan imports, but I wouldn't return because for the price, I've had much better elsewhere. read more

I've been a barista and coffee snob for years, & to me, this is the best coffee shop in New York City.

This is my go-to coffee spot in the downtown and specifically, Nolita, area! I love that it's on a side street so it can get busy but it also feels like a small mom & pop coffee shop. And, in fact, it is. The owner is often there and even stands behind the counter taking orders. It's pretty small, as most coffee places in New York are, but they have a few benches with comfortable cushions and a few bar stools near the window as well. My boyfriend and I went here almost every weekend at one point and it's here that I learned that my favorite coffee drink is a flat white. They also have great pastries, like kouign-amann and croissants. I'm hesistant to tell anyone how much I love this place, because I don't want it getting too busy ;) but Cafe Integral is truly a sweet & cute cafe. read more

I've given this place a couple of tries. I like the service and the ambiance and I think the drinks are okay. They're definitely unique such as the matcha fizz, which consists of matcha tea, honey, lime and soda. Although this place is nice and comfortable with seating, I still like their original location on Broome Street more. Somehow the coffee is killer good, especially the latte. Not sure what they're doing differently, but I'd love to find out! Maybe it's just that the other location had a smaller menu so they were able to become experts on those specific drinks. Plus, they offer discounts when you use the CUPS app. Hmm.. read more

I appreciate seeing many great options for good coffee coming into the neighborhood, but this spot is less about good coffee and more a pretentious shop selling the latest overpriced, trendy cultural appropriation or health superfood added to coffee at a premium price. It also fits nicely into the trend of prioritizing instagram-ability over the actual product or service. I came to get a cup of their daily brew, interested to see their ties to Nicaraguan coffee. I stood on line starring at baristas who seemed to ignore us while chatting about some wonderful vacation. The wait gave me time to read thru their extensive coffee-mocktail menu, filled with every unproven health supplement trend. If you want good coffee, walk a couple blocks to happy bones, grumpy or 12 corners. This place is more a waiting room for the Egg shop next door. read more

Can't really say anything about my interactions with baristas, since my orders were always very simple, but the interior was always calming (plants everywhere).

I came here and was recommended the Horchata Latte, which was absolutely delicious. You could really taste the rich horchata flavor and the bold flavor of the expresso shot. I've never had anything like it before, certainly unique and different than your standard latte. I'd highly recommend if you want to try something new and different. The seating is quite limited, so probably not the best place to get work done. Otherwise, its a good place to meet a friend or casually read a book. read more

I was craving a latte, and while I can easily go to Starbucks, I thought to myself, I should go support a local business instead. I walked in, ordered two drinks (one hot chai latte and one iced matcha latte because I was hot from walking so far to support this business), two scones, and was looking at their merch wall. As he was making the beverages, I realized they were both hot. I asked if those drinks were for me? And he said, Yes. I said, oh but, I had ordered an iced matcha latte, not hot because I'm already so hot from walking. He say, word for word, "no you didn't say hot. You have to pay for a new one then." and I replied, "why? I did not even want a hot drink. Why do I have to pay for another drink when I didn't even take this one?" He replied, "No, you did not say iced. You said hot," and continued arguing with me on what I said. Finally, he made me the correct iced drink because I was not going to take that hot drink, as he continued to tell me I said "hot" and not "iced". WOW. I am so surprised by the customer service here. Now I know why I should have went to Starbucks instead, because Starbucks has standards for customer service. My experience here was unbelievably terribly. I could not believe I just spent $20 here on 2 drinks and 2 scones and a side of terrible attitude. Disgusting. read more

Their signature drinks are pleasant surprises. You'll read the ingredients, and they don't sound like they'll go together. But take one sip and they totally do. Might confuse your taste buds for bit--thinking it tastes different but amazing! My favorite is the Olivia, who knew dates were yummy in drinks? (Or maybe everyone did, except me). Their more traditional drinks are splendid, both their coffees and teas. Not too bitter, not too bland. There's something about their beans and tea leaves and the way they brew their drinks that you'll surely notice those subtle hints of different flavors. Wonderful customer service. Always a plus when you can enjoy your coffee/tea in a gorgeous ceramic mug and pastries in a beautiful clean interior. read more

3 words - Matcha Mas Matcha!!!! This place came highly recommended from a fellow matcha lover and my expectations were pretty high. I came in thinking I was going to get my usual - matcha with oat milk - but then I saw the menu. The menu is on a whole other level for matcha and espresso fanatics who are looking for something a little more (or should I say Mas?!). I have not seen matcha drinks this creative anywhere in LA. I went with the Matcha Mas Matcha (iced) which is matcha, spirulina, and a super tasty house made cashew milk. My only complaint is that my drink wasn't twice the size because it was so tasty. read more

I've never been to their other location on Grand but this newly opened location is a bright and cozy cafe. There is adequate seating and the coffee is good and consistent. They also have other options for non-coffee drinkers. I can see myself sitting there and enjoying a cup of coffee. In terms of food, I did not take a good look at the menu but I saw pastries, breads, yogurt/parfait and they have doughnuts from Doughnut Plant (definite plus). The downsides are that they close at 6pm every day and to be completely honest, I think some of the coffee options on the menu are overpriced. But overall, I give Cafe Integral a thumbs up. read more

Specialties

Exceptional Nicaraguan Coffees personally sourced and roasted in New York City

History

Established in 2012.

Café Integral is not a simple roasting company, nor is it simply a coffee importer. As an entirely vertical operation committed to the "follow-through," our commitment to excellence through every stage of our coffee's lifecycle is fundamental to our success.

Meet the Business Owner: Cesar V.

Cesar was a photography student at NYU when he became passionate about specialty coffee. Not being able to find Nicaraguan coffee in NYC and knowing that Nicaragua produces excellent coffee, he decided to change and challenge the specialty coffee status quo by importing and working only with Nicaraguan coffee.

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.

She also told me about some of the sweet treats that went well with drink selections. I decided to purchase a brown butter caramel swirl latte and some dark chocolate banana madeleines. The latte was not too sweet, very smooth and hot. The cookies were amazing. soft and moist. The banana wasn't drowned out by the chocolate flavor. It was so good I would come back just to get those alone. I would definitely give a thumbs up for this place! Happy Yelping!

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.

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly.

Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be.

A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!

My friend and I were waiting for our table at Egg Shop and decided to sit in this coffee shop right next door. It was quite funny because I'd been meaning to try Cafe Integral for a while now, and didn't even realize that's where I was when I first stepped in. The coffee here is absolutely amazing with no need for sugar, and the espresso did not taste burnt at all. I ordered a latte with skim milk, and wow, that is an interesting presentation. The cup (or should I saw bowl??) is so large, but so inviting and warm, and the coffee stay just warm enough to drink. I loved how it was presented on a little paddle as that made for a very Instragrammable photo and presentation. The service was also very warm the latte art was pretty. I loved the white simple look of the cafe with an almost Urban Outfitters-like flair. My only critique would be that the almond milk is way too expensive. It was a $1.50 to add that too my coffee, which would have made my latte $6!! I didn't think a latte was justified at that price, so I was a little surprised by that up-charge. read more

Regardless of lacking the flavor of tonic water, I couldn't taste the yuzu flavor either. I've had many espresso tonic in my life and this is unfortunately one of the worst :( Speaking of service, the baristas were chatting and didn't even call me when my drink was ready.

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.
