Dae Day is one of those coffee spots where you can immediately tell they take their coffee seriously. Lately I've been hearing all about how much better Australian cafes are but I can't just hop on a plane so I did the next best thing, look for an Australian owned cafe here in nyc! I ordered a classic flat white and it was perfectly balanced, smooth, and incredibly easy to drink. The texture of the milk was spot on, and the espresso came through with just enough clarity and consistency in every sip. hmmm ok ok maybe it is true, Aussies have perfected your everyday espresso. What stood out most was how intentional everything felt. If you're someone who appreciates well-made coffee without any fuss, Dae Day absolutely delivers! If you just need just a good old, quick caffeine hit, probably not here. read more

Cute coffee shop with a good menu for whatever you may be looking for. I ordered a chai to drink in the shop. The staff was friendly, helpful and very quick to making my drink, the open windows were nice to sit by and watch people cruise by. The cups were big and kept my drink and hands warm. The chai was well made and I thoroughly enjoyed having a moment to sit and relax between work shifts. Definitely recommended my coworker to come and check this place out as well and he also enjoyed his experience here. read more

Friendly staff! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and there was plenty of seating. Once we ordered our drinks. There are a few pastries to choose from and the flat white magic was very good. read more

A cute small place with focus on good espresso and coffee. The place is modern and simplistic. We visited here because my friend recommended this place. We ordered a latte with almond milk and a cappuccino with regular milk. The cashier was polite, greeted us and took our orders. After we sat by the window and waited for it drink. As soon as it was made, she brought the drinks over to us. The espresso was smoky but the almond milk was bland which diluted the latte and gave a more bitter taste. Not my favorite. But with regular milk it's much better. read more

A very good Australian coffee shop that took me back to my trip to New Zealand! We ordered a flat white, knowing that we love it. There is an option to order a coffee drink called the Magic, which the barista explained it as made with ristretto shots and bolder than a flat white. Inside, the coffee shop is small and simple. At the same time, the design is beautiful. I absolutely love the unique stone counter in the front. Entering this coffee shop feels like a moment of peace and zen in comparison to the excitement of Manhattan. I will absolutely visit again next time I'm in New York! read more

Just another coffee shop. this place is mid AF, the drinks are just OK, the staff was just lukewarm, and it was overpriced! I'd rather go to luckin coffee get a coffee for $1.99 then spend eight dollars here any day some TikTok influencer showed some propaganda that this place had taro drinks, and so that's why I stopped by. I just got an iced latte to fix my caffeine craving, and it tasted so weird and bittter . I like how I have seating, but I probably won't be back. Blank Street just across the street is a great and reliable alternative read more

There are several coffee shops near my office, and while Starbucks has historically been my go-to, I have begun to add new spots to my rotation. Dae Day was first brought to my attention by one of my colleagues who passed it by on her way into the office; the aroma coming out of the place stood out to her and she suggested we check it out. That being said, we took a walk for some midday peps. Dae Day is located on Lexington in a somewhat busy area. Upon entry, though, the bustle of the outside vanishes and gives way to a somewhat tranquil atmosphere. Like other modern coffeehouses, the look is bright with high ceilings, shelves with aesthetically placed items, and some seating. The space isn't large but we didn't feel cramped. The menu is small, but there's a decent variety of hot and cold coffee beverages, a few non-coffee drinks, and some bakes. The flat white was catching my eye - partly because it was officially titled "flat white/magic" on the menu board, and partly because this is an Australian-based spot. But really, what was so magical about it? I was gonna find out. The coffee was super smooth. It had a mellow flavor and was slightly creamy as I chose to add whole milk. It also had a slight froth on top which added to the mouthfeel; it went down smoothly. Service was great, everyone was friendly and our drinks were ready relatively quickly. Overall, I had a good first experience at Dae Day; I will definitely be back to explore more of their menu. read more

When traveling, I always try to book a stay near a walkable coffee shop- and Dae Day Coffee did just the trick! Only a 5 min walk from our hotel, this Australian-owned gem impressed us so much... we went twice! Of course since they're an Aussie cafe, I had to try their flat white. Smooth texture, rich crema, and a delicious nutty espresso base... one of the best I've had outside of Sydney! My friends ordered matcha lattes and were equally impressed- rare to find a cafe that nails both coffee and matcha. I ended up bringing a bag of their Colombia Gaitania beans home. Their aesthetic alone was such a standout... the interior and ceramics alone made me want to redecorate my whole kitchen. I even asked if their mugs were for sale haha. They're probably available for purchase in-store now.... but sadly, were not available yet while we were still in town). Keeping my fingers crossed for an online shop! If you find yourself in Midtown- don't miss Dae Day to have a g'day! read more

I started my day with Dae Day Coffee, an Australian-inspired coffee shop known for their Flat White. It was close to my office, so I grabbed a drink and pastry before heading in. The interior was clean and minimalistic with a lot of white and white wood aesthetic. There isn't a lot of seating here, maybe a couple of window seats and stools. FLAT WHITE (8 OZ) - 5.50 Yum!! The flat white had a very smooth and creamy texture and a prominent espresso flavor that went well with the milk. Unfortunately, I had to take this to-go. I feel like enjoying it in a ceramic cup in the cafe would have been more enjoyable. PAIN AU CHOCOLATE - 6 Lots of chocolate, this was pretty good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Honestly, a bit overpriced for what it is. Overall, great coffee in Midtown East. I'd highly recommend giving their flat white a try and maybe grab a bag of beans, too. read more

I believe this spot just opened up! I checked it out as my office is right down the street and I was impressed. The aesthetics of the shop were so sleek, clean, and modern and I really liked the simple decor. Service was excellent -- my friend and I sat down at one of the benches as we were waiting for our drinks fully expecting to get up once our drinks were ready, but one of the employees brought them over to us, and that was so nice. Went the extra mile. Had an iced vanilla oat latte and I'm no coffee snob, but I thought it was great. I'll have to try out the matcha next because that's my area of expertise and I feel like I can better judge the quality of a cafe from the quality of their matcha. read more

I got the brioche cinnamon roll and an iced americano, both of which were very very good. The staff was friendly and helpful! They have some seating inside but it's mainly small seating pads by the window and the tables are way too short to be practical, so not exactly a place to sit and annoy your coffee. I recommend coming here to grab and go. read more

Cute lil coffee shop on lex with amazing coffee! My favorite is their oat milk latte iced and they have brown sugar syrup on the side that you can add in as well. Coffee here looks like it's really down to the basics as they pull each espresso shot in this aesthetic space and take their time with each pour over. Great spot to hang out with friends but not the best spot to study in since it can get busy and seating is limited. read more

Somewhat small coffee shop but super aesthetically pleasing. There are some seats along the side with a few small stool tables. I ordered an iced matcha latte sweetened with simple syrup and it was honestly a pretty good latte. My biggest complaint is the price. A 16oz drink was just under $10 which I hear isn't abnormal for NYC prices but as a visiting Texan it was quite painful. But the drink itself was good so take that as you will! read more

Found this place randomly. There cortado and pour overs were incredible I'll be back :)

Aussies do it best! Dae Day Coffee is Michelin-star level coffee. Quality ain't free -- if you need vanilla in your cup, Dunkin's down the block. Enjoy your sugar milk. And for people saying the staff are cold: you've confused professionalism with attitude. The Dae Day crew are focused, not your therapist. This is New York, not Disneyland. This was not a paid promotion read more

This storefront has hosted numerous coffee spots in the past. Yet for the first time dae day is what appears to a truly inviting spot for a sit down chat or just a quality cup of grab-n-go joe. Compliments to a very delightful staff and wonderful lighting - a very underrated aesthetic. read more

Entirely exceptional from start to finish. The taste profile is well-balanced. Every worker shows patience and understanding. They would do well to stick with what works. Every dish meets high standards. read more

Paid $9 for the world's smallest iced matcha ever. The cup was 90% milk. Wouldn't go back

Not great. $8 for a sub par vanilla latte. I'm so over the price of a latte and only one shot.. cmon

Meh... cold brew was super acidic. Needs lots of cream to cover the taste. Over priced and underwhelming.

Really like this place and the coffee but the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. I've paid over $9 here for a matcha with honey.
