    Pistachio latte with soy milk
    Jenny H.

    I was looking for a place to hang out until the movies and found this cozy cafe. Upon entry is a long cozy cafe and you see before you a display of baked goods. The place was packed and do I would order then hope for a counter out table to be available. The line was short so I was able to quickly place my order, a pistachio latte with soy milk & a ham & cheese croissant. Just as I was passing, a couple left. Score! Got my small round table with seating. Within a few minutes my number was called and I went to pick up counter for my latte. Then heard nothing about my croissant. After I sat back down I waited for awhile and happen to see the cashier about the food she replies is on the pickup counter. Went and found nothing as she apologies and take it from the pro counter to pickup section. Little boo boo. The croissant was warm, melt with slight sweetness. Paired with the latte was perfect for a cold afternoon. The latte was smooth, not bitter and very enjoyable. Definitely coming back. Just hoping for no more mishaps. But great place to stop in.

    At Charlotte Café once you walk into the space it has this warm inviting feel with such an elegant ambience the with beautiful Burgundy, red brick walls which elevates the space and has plenty of seating for all they have light bites but the best thing they offer is their delicious cappuccino. they're espresso is smooth yet bold and the staff was amazing. I met the owner and you can truly feel the authentic genuine love for the art of coffee and NYC. 10/10.

    Meeting a friend for coffee, I asked her to suggest a place. This was a wonderful choice, a unique place these days, of a kind that once was ubiquitous. A coffee shop/bakery, with very good coffee. I didn't have a capp or latte, just plain coffee served in a china mug. Classy and fresh and delicious, neither too strong nor dishwater. Black and perfect. The selection of pastries is fabulous! I wanted to bring a treat home for my husband and after some deliberation, I chose the raspberry linzer. Beautiful and he was so pleased! My friend and I each chose a croissant, nothing fancy but it was straight from the oven and absolutely perfect! Crisp outside, buttery but not overwhelming inside. There are several charming and comfortable (for me) tables and chairs and there was no rush to leave. We lingered and chatted over our coffees and croissants for nearly an hour and a half. Almost every table was occupied. Order at the counter and you quickly get a tray to carry back to the table you chose ahead of time. We left our coats on the chairs. I can't wait for the next time a friend says let's meet for coffee! This is the perfect spot!

    Let me preface this by saying that not all gems are where you expect them to be. Walking into Charlotte Cafe is like walking into an upscale coffee shop on 5th Ave where you'd expect it to be, but walk a little further and you'll find it on 2nd Ave. With its warm and, welcoming atmosphere, you can order one of their delicious lattes. They also have an array of baked items to choose from. I ordered their signature Mocha latte and a slice of the Iced Lemon cake. Walking towards the back for a seat, I couldn't help but notice how charming the decor is. It's like walking into a private study/library. I swear all they need is a fireplace and no one will ever leave. The staff is equally kind and friendly. I loved my latte and the cake was moist and delicious. They definitely live up to their name which is synonymous with sophistication, charm and warmth. Make your way for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Thank me later!

    Lots of seating and a decent place to chat with a friend or catch a break. I like that the seating is reasonably spaced out for New York.

    Well I might have just had the best chai latte in Newyork,... this year?? It's so hard to find and Gisela was amazing, paid attention to detail and caught a mistake her colleague had made by asking me if I wanted it 'Hot' to which I responded "no chilled". The chai latte/oat milk was tasteful, smooth and yummy. It's very difficult for me to find chai that makes me want to write a review and on the same day. I will definitely return.

    Cappuccino and a slice of Marble cake was just what I wanted two weeks ago after seeing The Brutalist. After a long movie and much in need of refreshment before going to listen to jazz. Two locations of this cafe are in the City. I went to the one on Second Avenue between 33rd and 34th Streets. This cafe is a welcome addition to this part of Murray Hill where there aren't many cafes. Potted plants make this cafe inviting. Bana gave me a slice of the cake and the barista made me a hot cappuccino. I sat at a table to eat leisurely. Several customers were either having something to drink or working on their laptops. The display cases held a variety of cakes and pastries along with large glass bottles with tempting cookies. Both cash and cards are accepted.

    I spontaneously stopped by, since I had to walk like 10 blocks to pick up food in the area anyway. I wanted to power myself for the walk! I was greeted by the staff when I stepped to the counter, and the service was very friendly. Walking in, I also realized there was plenty of seating. One thing I appreciate was the complimentary slash of milk that was added to my freddo espresso. I took it to go, sipping it while I walked, and it was very refreshing. I would definitely return for the positive vibes if I'm ever back in the area!

It felt like items weren't made with care and mass produced at a factory or something. I went 10 minutes before they closed and there was still 10+ of each dessert. I'm not convinced that they will dispose of them. Even if they do, it means they didn't do a good job in forecasting demand especially after being in business for multiple years. I ordered mango and yuzu. Both were too sweet and had one dimensional flavor and textures, not refreshing per their stated flavors. Even if their appearances take effort, they don't look pretty enough for me to forgive what goes in my mouth. I'm used to having patisseries with many layers and elements. Mango's sponge probably only took up 20% of the bottom, because I barely had bites of it. Most of my bites didn't have any. I didn't like how liquid the filling was. It didn't exactly ooze out but just melted into a puddle in my mouth. Yuzu looks pretty with the pink and yellow glaze, but it didn't go with the realistic fruit theme. I chose it for the flavor combination which is strawberry, yuzu, and guava. This was slightly better in terms of flavor variety in the mouth. The flower on top had a weird off putting flavor. The bottom crispy rice apparently is supposed to be chocolate but it came out plain. It was tasteless anyway, so not effective in terms of flavor or texture.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

The peppery, thick bacon and the quite sweet, icing-topped cruller are a beautiful study in contrasts. The egg was nicely runny. I will say that's it's definitely not a good on-the-go sandwich, as it falls apart easily. However, I don't think this is a great spot for coffee. I was a bit underwhelmed by my latte, which tasted more like thin drip coffee than a rich, strong espresso. I also think they could offer more sweetener options.

They are running a really interesting under the counter espresso machine where the main bulk of the equipment is hidden away, leaving just these sleek, minimal group heads rising up from the counter. It was my first time seeing a machine of that style in person, and it looks incredibly sharp. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in the area.
