    This is a small coffee shop. We came for our black drip coffee. It has a great taste. They have a few pastries, we didn't try any. The barista was friendly.

    I came here in the morning on a weekday to catch up with a coworker and it was cute. Their space is bright, clean, and there are tables and free wi-fi so you can get some work done here. Both my coworker and I got a pastry (a chocolate croissant and a ham croissant), and we also both got matchas. I thought the croissants were solid choices, but I wish they had more savory options. And, I thought that their matcha flavor wasn't very strong, so I was a bit disappointed. Overall, not a bad spot for catching up with friends or getting work done, but I thought that drinks were only okay.

    This bean made the best pour over!!

    I was in the area on a Saturday afternoon with my wife, daughter, and one of my daughter's friends. Of course I had done research on Yelp, to find the perfect cup of coffee. I was ready to walk an extra half mile, when my teenage daughter told me that it was time for her to start shopping. We all know those divine moments where necessity forces you to go with your second choice. Let's just say, Cafe Integral will never be my second choice again. Apologies for the long opening. The shop is small, bright, modern, and clean. The gentlemen working behind the counter were truly into their craft. Patient and friendly. My wife enjoyed a cold brew. My choice gets its own paragraph. The pour over at Cafe Integral is absolutely divine! They recommended that I try the El Porvenir bean, as the grower uses a special fermentation process. A few minutes later, I was presented with a lovely mug of coffee. I've never been much of an olfactory guy but this cup had me smelling delightful notes. My palate isn't the most expert but this cup had me tasting all of the notes. Absolutely didn't want it to end! I suppose it's something that you could put in a to go cup but do yourself a favor and sit in the cafe to truly enjoy the experience!

    All my friends who are coffee snobs have talked about or recommended Café Integral to me. I'm more of a black coffee guy personally, so don't feel the need to go out of my way for a cup but in the same breath, I'm always down for a plot. I knew it was time to try it when my friend, who doesn't even drink coffee, was dying to go. He does have great taste in damn near everything though, I gotta give him that. That's why he is the big homie. We walked into Café Integral and I was shocked by the no frills environment. "No frills" is so overused, I hate myself for even writing that but that's really what it was. Boxes of Mexican Coke, togo cups, and other items necessary to run a business are scattered in the interior. For some reason, it adds to the charm. It's not dirty, it's just that they are utilizing the space to run a business. They are just here to make great coffee and don't care if the interior isn't ultra curated. I ordered a black coffee and a croissant, as I find these are the best 2 items to see what a coffee shop is really about. You can't hide anything. Things took a turn for the worst when I realized the croissant was from Balthazaar. The Balthazaar pastry fall off needs to be studied. C&B in Alphabet City still makes the best croissants in NYC, I don't even care. I do need to take responsibility though because I should have got the orange olive oil muffin instead of the croissant. It was speaking to my spirit, and I didn't listen. I bet it goes SO crazy. After stomaching the mid croissant because I'm a Croatian Warrior, the black coffee saved the day. I really can taste the difference between a good and bad black coffee at this point, and this one just tasted fresh. It made me happy. It warmed my soul. My buddy got "the Olivia" which consists of espresso, house made almond milk, cinnamon, and dates. It's also ironic because his ex-girlfrie... nvm. The house made almond milk was a huge selling point for him, which is kinda tight tbh. I tried the tiny little drink that was MAYBE 8oz, and it actually was sensational... I might get it next time when I come back for that orange olive oil muffin... IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

    The Olivia and almond milk cappuccino
    Bela B.

    It was lowkey too boujee for a regular coffee drinker like me. I would not recommend the Olivia. It's cool they make house almond milk but it's not that good lmao. I got two bevs kinda taxed and now I'm gonna try and find a matcha spot to fill the void.

    Lovely staff and good tasting latte. My partner got the sparkling lemonade and it was very sour (almost lime tasting). Ultimately, we enjoyed both drinks that came out to be less than $10. Great value in Manhattan for two drinks. Would definitely return to this establishment.

    Horchata Latte
    Karan L.

    This is a cute little cafe with a unique selection of south american coffee that makes it worth checking out in my opinion. I came in and visited and it was not very crowded for a weekday morning. I was able to get my horchata latte in under 5 minutes, which is in general my standard for speed at coffee shops. My main complaint deals with the lack of seating space. There is wifi here, and there are tables, but not many practical places to sit down and study like it was advertised. The horchata latte I got was plesent and I enjoyed it, and I do look forward to trying some of the other items on their menu. There were alot of bakery items that I was also tempted to crave on, so if I am in the area, I will try to visit again. The coffee itself is quite expensive, so keep that in mind, but nothing too outrageous for new york coffee.

    Beans and coffee making gear
    Ailun H.

    I've been waiting to stop by for awhile since one of my favorite coffee shops in DC sells beans roasted by Cafe Integral. My friend and I were in Soho and were in need of coffee, so we stopped by. The interior is pretty small with not much spacing, but the decor was minimalistic. There are a couple shelves to sell coffee making gear (Hario & Chemex, Fellow products, filters, coffee beans, tea, chocolates, etc.) POUR OVER - 6 Not sure which beans they used to make our pour over this past Saturday afternoon, but it was pleasantly acidic and sweet (fruity, but not citrusy kind of like prunes). It became more enjoyable once it cooled down and I thoroughly enjoyed my coffee. My friend got the same thing and her preference is darker roasts, but still found this cup delightful. Overall, worth a try! I'll stop by again if I'm in the area.

    not in Little Italy all that often but when i am...i am going to make sure stop at Café Integral for coffee. had a great-tasting Americano to go back in March when it was cooooooold outside. the small coffee shop serves Nicaraguan coffee as well as some small bites. the coffee was served nice and hot...and was flavorful. the cafe is a small casual space with a few seating spaces. staff is not very chatty--kinda curt actually. but who needs banter or small talk when you have quality coffee to sip on!

    Elizabeth X.

    Came in on a Wednesday afternoon, 45min before closing. The feature Nicaraguan coffee, but they also had a good amount of speciality drinks. I chose the horchata latte - it wasn't as sweet as I thought it was going to be, which I actually enjoyed. They have some seating inside, which allowed me to read for a few minutes. Drinks were expensive, my drink came out to be $7 - I didn't even ask for special alternative milks, etc.

    Quaint coffee shop, they don't have an option for IVL but baristas are super friendly and provided some alternatives that would be good The drink was super good and strong and I loved it. Recommend and I can tell the locals really like this place.

    Came by for some coffee while in the area. It's a cute and quaint coffee shop. We ordered an iced matcha, an iced latte, an an olive oil cake. Staff was not the friendliest unfortunately. Iced latte was a bit too milky but still had a good taste. Matcha was pretty good.

    Nicole K.

    It's a boutique coffee shop that has Nicaraguan coffee. I stopped by to pick up a cold brew and it was really good. Service was attentive and fast.

My honest review, not my favorite cookie! It leaned a little too dry and crisp and didn't have enough of that soft gooey-ness for me. Just not my preferred style! They weren't bad, but no where near my favorite. It is fun that they have a few different flavors though including the Korn cookie!

    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.
