Iced Hibiscus
Ally F.

Aesthetic: Modern, work-friendly coffee shop at 61st and 2nd What to try: Matcha latte with oat milk Service: Excellent Parking: None Rating: 5/5, amazing neighborhood coffee house vibe with delicious drinks and pastries. The matcha latte with oat milk was exceptional, and the hibiscus tea was standard and yummy

Seating

This place is an UES gem because it's reasonable, has plenty of seating, and has that open air cafe feeling without being too upscale. The decaf pistachio iced latte and apricot croissant warmed were a blissful combo on a sunny day, and the barista was very helpful with recommendations. The latte was flavorful but not too sweet, and the croissant was very unique and buttery. Lovely spot to work and people watch with a tasty treat.

The café is super quaint and welcoming to people dining in and people working on their laptops. While I felt like it was homey to allow for people to stay and work, I felt like it took away from people wanting to dine-in to eat. Later find out: they force you to buy coffee per person to stay 90 min and which I think that is a GOOD thing! Perhaps limiting the laptop allowed area to a certain section would also be welcomed. The latte that I got was delicious. Coffee prices were very reasonable. Bathroom in the back using a passcode. There are a wide array of baked treats that I'm looking forward to getting next time! Staff was super nice and courteous!

Happy to have another cafe join the UES neighborhood! Love the gigantic and clean space inside with lots of seating. They have great selection of hot and cold beverages, and both savory and sweet pastries to try. I believe you can also work in the cafe (with purchase?) since I saw people on their laptops. Their prices are pretty standard for drinks and pastries, nothing too crazy.

What a beautiful coffee shop this is. Spacious and plenty of seating indoors and a few small tables right outside. Friendly staff and a welcome addition to the neighborhood I am sure. I had the viennese iced cappuccino it has vanilla in it and whipped cream on top. WOW it is very good. I will definitely come back here to try out some other coffee drinks they have. Their pastries look delicious as well but I did not try any of them. This coffee shop just opened up and not to mention they play great music here. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

Pistachio latte
Therese T.

This is one of the best coffees I've had! I like sweeter drinks and the owner recommended a pistachio latte with oat milk and it did not disappoint. The flavor was amazing, not too sweet, not bitter, not artificial tasting, just really good. My friend who typically gets plain lattes also loved it. While I was there I heard a handful of customers say how much they liked the coffee here. Since Friday, I've been wanting to go back, I even almost got two because it was so good! I'll be back soon and can't wait to get this again and try more from this place! The owner was also super friendly and the environment was comfortable and welcoming.

ordered the hinata matcha latte and it was great!! it's so nutty and i loved it…read more it was a quaint tiny store and they sold japanese tea leaves. so glad my friend and i snagged the one table that they had indoors :)

Small hidden shop in Koreatown specializing in matcha and tea-based drinks!…read more I came to Mika's on a Friday morning, and while there wasn't a line, it did feel packed with the five people inside. I'd actually passed by this place multiple times but had no idea it was a cafe. This shop itself is more of a grab-and-go, but it might still take a while since all drinks are whisked and made to order. There isn't really space for a line to form inside, so you may need to wait outside to order (there's also a bit of a lack of room to wait for your drink once it's ordered). My strawberry matcha came out to $9.25 total, which is pretty pricey, so I expected a lot. In total, it took me around 10-ish minutes to get my drink with about 4 people in front of me. At first it took a while for our orders to get taken since the two employees were focused on getting drinks out ASAP, one person was preparing the syrups and milk, and the other was making the matcha. The matcha itself had a nice green color. I've had many strawberry matchas prior to this, and based on my experience, this place was alright. The strawberry syrup was nice and not too sweet, but I wish there was a bit more flavoring or more of it, as after two sips I couldn't taste the strawberry at all. Overall, it's a nice shop with cute trinkets around and their own products they sell, like matchas and tea sets. However, for $9, it was a lot for what the drink offered in my opinion.

I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

This is always my favorite spot to go for desserts and hangout. The interior decor is very modern,…read moresophisticated and stylish. We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
