There may be other items on the drink menu but it's always going to be the Salted Brown Butter Oak Latte for me. I've never had a more flavorful cup of iced coffee ever. Rich, salty, creamy, chilled, powerful, on tap,... there just isn't another chilled cup of coffee better. That finishing touch they put on top of the ice right before they pull the tap over the square cubes of ice, is money. There are sooo many cups of great iced coffee in NYC and Caffe Paradiso is near the top if not the best. There is no where really to sit, there are a few counter seats but your best bet is to grab your cup and head across the street to Elizabeth Street Garden to chill (if it is open). The service is always great, I've never had a disappointing experience ever. The line will most likely be long but it moves quickly. read more

Another one bites the dust. TikTok influenced me to try this little shop out and no regrets. When in NY parking is not a thing. Very accessible through the subway system. Line was long due to the holiday. It was also decorated for the holiday. I waited about 20 min before i was able to place an order. I ordered a brown butter latte and a hot chocolate. Order came swiftly. Service was impecable. Atmosphere as well. Cute, quaint decor. Small shop but lovely. I was very happy with my choices. Would definitely come back! read more

There's also a park right across from the street has ample seating. I got the salted brown butter oat latte. It's not too sweet, it's the perfect balance. Delish! read more

Disclaimer: if you are someone that generally gets grumpy about hyped up viral NYC spots, then skip this one! However, I love going to a viral spot and seeing what is making everyone excited! For me, it makes trying spots in NYC really fun. Caffe Paradiso went viral for their draft salted brown butter latte. I love a draft latte because the draft makes the coffee frothy and so smooth (la colombe has these as well if you want to try a draft latte without a line). I'm not sure why, but I drink a draft latte much faster than a regular, so you may finish it quickly! The salted brown butter was sweet with the slight salt that makes the flavors addicting. For the people saying "it's not salty", it's because the flavor story is similar to eating salted caramel where it is still very sweet. There was a line out the door and down the sidewalk when I got there, we waited about 15-20 mins to get inside. I felt the line moved decently fast since they are quickly getting orders out. Inside, the place is decorated more like an upscale bar than a cafe, with beautiful touches for the holidays. The menu also features some seasonal items, like a hot chocolate with panna that was rich and I really enjoyed. We also ordered a strawberry matcha, which honestly I would not recommend. While the matcha was smooth and good quality, the strawberry syrup wasn't my favorite. Overall, it was a fun experience and they do have a great draft latte and hot chocolate. It's too popular to go often, but I would love to have that latte again! read more

I was influenced, so let me de-influence you. NYC is filled with coffee shops, but this one had a line out the door for their signature salted brown butter lattes. It was $7 with tax, which is comparable to other places. The wait for the establishment is 25-30 minutes. The latte is poured on tap, which is very aesthetically pleasing. Upon taking my first sip, I realized it tasted like any other latte. There was no salted flavor of any kind. I kind of regret waiting for so long. read more

We waited about 20-30 minutes in line, the lines moves fairly quick especially since mostly everyone is ordering the coffee on tap. We all ordered the salted brown butter and oat iced coffee on draft, and we all loved it - the flavor was delicious as well as the consistency - was great. It is a small coffee shop, there is not many seats to sit - only around the bar top area, feels like a grab and go. Would recommend and come back! read more

Obsessed with the cold brew on tap here. Always smooth and balanced in terms of creaminess/sweetness. My most recent favorite flavor is the salted brown butter oat latte - it was so delicious I came back twice in a week. Besides the famous tap, they also have a variety of creative espresso drinks. The lines can get long on the weekends so I would recommend coming on a weekday afternoon for no wait. There's only a small bar inside for seating 4-5 people max. read more

I didn't know what to expect when I heard about this place but just that they had a latte on tap! The concept seemed so insane yet hilarious i had to stop and try it. Unfortunately this place is SUPER close to my job which makes it hard for me to not come back. LOL Coffee was super tasty yet well balanced!

Their coffee on tap is crazy smooth, and the salty-sweet combo on their menu is just... perfect. It hits every time. Even if there's a line outside (and there usually ALWAYS is) It's 100% worth the wait. I came here on my trip to NYC 3 SEPARATE TIMES!

Living up to the hype there is in fact a latte dispenser !! I wasn't sure what I was walking into since I caught a rush of people and it was pretty crowded inside. It's a very small cafe with very limited seating (3 bar seats). However, drinks come out in seconds as you can imagine with the most popular being the salted brown butter and oat latte so the go in and out quickly. The staff is really nice and super helpful with explaining drinks and asking about preferences to give you great references. They really do it right with specializing in what they do best and never missing. read more

This spot is very overhyped in my & my husband's opinion. I had been hearing so much buzz about this cafe so made a point to check it on when in the area on a weekday. There was a very small couple person line when we went. But let me be frank, I would not wait in a long line for a drink at this place. I didn't realize until chillin inside that this place is owned by Dante's (both baristas had their branded aprons on). Makes sense since Dante's has so many batch, pre made cocktails they do. I do find this is a way to cut corners and avoid having to show the quality of products used to make said items. Efficient and higher margins for the business though so I get why they do it. We found the star item here (salted brown butter oat latte) to be very lackluster. It had a strong alcoholic-ish after taste and was too sweet. I just didn't find it balanced at all. Also tried the strawberry matcha and didn't care for it. Low quality matcha and the strawberry syrup was way too sweet. Cute interior and staff was nice but we wouldn't return. read more

October 2025 This drink kept popping up on my Instagram Reels, so I had to try it: the viral Salted Brown Butter Oat Latte. Surprisingly, it was mad good and definitely worth trying. As someone who enjoys slightly sweeter coffee over plain black, I was impressed. It wasn't too sweet, and the flavor was perfectly balanced with the espresso. I didn't expect it to be this good, and now I can't stop thinking about it. I'm going to try to find it in the Bay Area. There was a line when I went, but it moved pretty quickly. Don't let that discourage you. Just wait a few minutes and you'll get to try this viral latte. It's absolutely worth it. The spot is also in a great location near the main shopping area in SoHo. read more

The best! We had a full itinerary and almost wasn't going to stop by Caffe Paradiso but so glad we went. We joined a small line outside a rainy day last month right before a rush hour crowd. Very busy place but the staff were fabulous and had a great organization system going on. Once we made it inside, we placed our order with the cashier and went inside to the bar/counter area to wait for our drinks. The bar area has great ambience and a nice chilled vibe going on. Great for photo ops. I ordered the draft Salted Brown Butter & Oat Latte and it was the best coffee I've ever had. The regular size is like a tall size at Starbucks so I wish I ordered one more...now I'll have to fly to NYC just to drink this delicious coffee again. No wonder the line was so long! Also ordered the White Chocolate Shakerato - very interesting taste. The coffee was super small and quite sour to the taste. Didn't really taste the white chocolate within the coffee but there were a bunch of them on top of the coffee. My friend also ordered a Strawberry Matcha and said it just taste very matcha-y. Overall, it was definitely worth the wait and I'd fly back just for that brown butter coffee!! read more

I also had this shaken espresso with white chocolate shaved on top of it. Both were wonderful and best coffee I have ever had. No lie it is that good. They also seem to be well know for their banana bread since alot of people I saw ordered it. I wish they would open one of these up more near me. If you are in the area it is a must do!

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!

They have promotions once in a while like BOGOs, so when that happens, wait times to get the drinks can be very long. I recently bought bogo drinks and the order line was empty, but the pickup line was long. It took about 30+ min to get my drinks. 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.

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.

The strawberry also dominated the matcha so it tasted more like strawberry milk :( We came on a Friday evening, and it was really difficult to find a seat so we ended up standing around to eat everything. This place is so popular! I want to come back to try all the other desserts especially the cream puffs and pastries!

Evil Twin Brewing - Dumbo Taproom

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

Hamburger 'MURICA!…read more When we want a no-frills, affordable NYC smashburger instead of a fancy viral one, we have two go-to spots. While the other place might make a slightly better burger, Hamburger America wins on the overall experience. They offer actual tables and chairs, free soda refills, and a flawless mid-century Americana vibe (think retro counter, chrome accents, and vinyl floors). 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 Salt Lake City is married to three separate onion burgers. The Waco is burned to a crisp. OK, those last two are made up.

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!

They have a huge variety (both round and square), so everyone will find one that they love. Zach (the manager) is so lovely as well, you can tell there is so much heart put into Parla.
