Had the famous Crème Brûlée Coffee at this Cafe, and it was absolutely worth the hype! The coffee was rich, creamy, and incredibly delicious. The brûléed sugar topping added the perfect sweetness and made it feel like a dessert and coffee all in one. Every sip was super yummy. The only thing I found a little strange was that they torch the sugar on top while it's in a plastic cup, but honestly, the taste was so good that I forgot about it pretty quickly, also thats the only way to do it so yeah. If you're in New York and love coffee, definitely give it a try! read more

A very solid 4.3 stars! Man, ppl were not exaggerating about this place being small. Legit only 1 table. lol..modern/clean/minimal clean vibes. I went on a specific mission for the banana pudding latte. I was prepared to be let down & say eff these influencers. First, banana flavored items tend to be so artificial tasting! Yuck. Second, I was adding an extra shot. A lot of places mess this up & it tends to lose flavor of the original drink. Needless to say, I expressed this to the guy on register. He (gay guy) asks the barista (maybe Latina w/black hair) about my request & she says of course, no problem. Let me mind you this was over $13...damn near sweating for 3min waiting. I take a sip,...whyyyyy God ?! It was soooo GOOD. But that price tag..it hurts a little...I will DEF go back when I want to treat myself. The guy on register was joking saying all 3 were the starting 3 of the Knicks in coffee. Great & friendly customer service. They def felt my vibe! Praying it's consistently this good for future visits. Highly recommend for your delicious banana needs (since that's all the can vouch for). read more

I didn't know this existed so close to my office until I saw some IG Foodie account post about it! It's a little pricey depending on what you order but that's just NYC specialty coffee for ya. I've been here twice now and have tried the Creme Brûlée latte and the Banana pudding latte. It also helps that the baristas are super nice and know how to make these drinks fast! read more

I've had this coffee shop on my list based on previous social media posts. It's a small open space with outdoor bench like seating with one table inside. I went around 12pm lunch time and there was quite a crowd. I always ask the cashier their best + favorite drink and was sold on the cloud latte. read more

Here's the thing, this place gives off snooty cafe in the best way possible. Inside is stone and glass. The baristas talk to you in monotone, there's a few fancy specials on the wall and that's it. And I love it. I ended up ordering the Crème Brulatte and although pricey, it definitely is as described. It's a not too sweet latte with a thick, custard cold foam and complete with torched sugar. An absolute mess to drink, but well worth the trek! read more

I had the BEST hot strawberry matcha latte here. I made the mistake of not drinking water for several hours after I had it so I couldn't fall asleep for an hour but lesson learned. I would 100% go back to get this again. I always get an iced version because the idea of strawberries in a hot drink doesn't sound appealing, but the flavor of this was incredible!!! It's quite small inside but there was one table for two that was free. There's also baked goods available although I didn't try any. read more

Tried the famous creme brûlée latte and it was good! The custard on top is what makes it delicious. It needs to be mixed well to enjoy it without being too bitter. It's a small space so very minimal seating. Definitely not a space to work in. Ordering was easy and our drinks came shortly after. I'd definitely come back and get this drink again! read more

It's hard not to spot the small details that make this place special. Whether you're in a rush or looking to lounge around the area, expect to be transported into the ambiance Foreigner provides. The drinks are top tier and when indecisive, the staff is equipped to help. It's relaxed, smooth, and is designed to leave you wanting more. read more

Saw several people on social media really enjoy Foreigner & claiming it is the best coffee in New York. The jury is still out on this one for me. I got one of the specialty lattes (baklava latte) and it really did not have any resemblance to baklava to me. None of the notes came through. Wasn't bad and would give it another shot if I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Ordered the crème brûlée latte and honestly it was delicious. The brûléed sugar topping was to die for and really made it. My only complaint is the price... $13 for one drink is kind of wild. Really good, but probably more of an occasional splurge than an everyday coffee run. read more

Foreigner - Creme Brûlée Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

((4.25 stars)) a very small coffee shop located on the edge of the Flatiron District. modern space, not much seating inside aside from the couple of seats near the window. most of the coffee shop is the coffee bar. Foreigner offers a menu of specialty coffee drinks along with more standard coffee & tea drinks. thought the Espresso Spritz is a fun cooling coffee drink during warm weather. most other times, i have ordered an Americano which was always solidly made. this coffee spot is very much a grab and go but it works in an area populated with so many businesses around it. read more

Came across this coffee shop in thanks to tik tok. It is also a photo studio in the back I believe. It's a very small coffee shop with one table and like 2-3 bar stools. There are also two wooden chairs outside to enjoy your coffee in. Very clean and nice presentations of what they offered. I wanted to try one of their special drinks which was the Crème brûlée latte. In the pictures I have seen online and social media it looked awesome. I knew going into it that this drink was crazy pricy! $13.00 + tip! The most I have ever spent on an iced latte. I was hoping it would be like the BEST iced latte I have ever tasted. Well I was wrong! I was disappointed too. Not sure if the one person that was there when I was there is always there but I wish he could have put more fire on the Mascarpone to make it more like hard and crispy burnt tasting. The person was nice don't get me wrong. But not sure if there are other people who work here who would have made it differently. I also think there was a bit too much Mascarpone. I added cinnamon to it too to see if it would help the taste. There are other specialty drinks here I would like to try, so I hope to get back here soon. read more

Came across this coffee shop from how viral it went on tik tok. The space itself pretty small, cozy, and minimalist. I wanted to try the Crème brûlée latte of course since all the videos and pictures on social media looked amazing. It was good, but not $13 good. For that price I expect it to be life changing/the best latte I've ever had, which it wasn't. The baristas were nice though, and service was quick. Unfortunately at this price point and average taste, I don't see myself returning to try their other items read more

Foreigner - Crème brûlée latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This review is a bit overdue and I finally got my hands to write it. My friend and I popped in to try a crème brûlée latte(?) that was all over both of our for you page on well know social media app. So since people were raving about it at the time, we had to try. The drink itself was more or less "expectation/reality" meme. It was made in a rush and barista did not seem thrilled to having to make it. It tasted just.....okay? The top was barely toasted so it was essentially just a latte with extra thicc (with two "c"s) cream on top. My friend got a Vietnamese cortado (?? May remember the name of this drink wrong, it's been a while). She was disappointed with it for both the taste and presentation. She was hoping to have it served the same was as in picture inside the cafe. The seating situation is not great. There's one small table in the corner, and a couple of counter seats, but that's about it. So definitely not the kind of place you'd want to sit down at and share a drink with someone and catch up. read more

I absolutely love this place! The vibes are very modern and minimalistic, which I think is fun for a coffee shop. I've never tried the food, but the cloud latte is one of my favorite coffees in the city! The maple foam on top is incredible, and I think about it often! It's a bit pricey, but as is any coffee shop in Manhattan these days... couldn't recommend Foreigner enough!! read more

Cute little spot in Chelsea! Ordered the creme brulee drink (beware it's $12!) I shokdlve asked for the price before ordering haha but it was good!

I walked into this shop kinda randomly as I was walking by searching for a place to eat. Coffee sounded good so I stepped inside to see if I can get something to keep my search going. Workers were nice. I ordered, minutes later it was ready. It's a small shop with like one table and a couple of stools which isn't so bad. My gripe was that I ordered the hanoi aroma as it was the advertised specialty drink by their menu. It's double the cost of their other drink because it was one of their signature items. I figured that should be good especially for the price. I wanted something to really get a taste of how this shop is. To my discovery it was just a regular iced coffee, idk why I expected different as they do show what it is in the small poster. But I was just disappointed. To top it off it made my throat feel a little scratchy. I am not sure why as I don't have any allergies. They do have these biodegradable straws available that I gave a try so maybe that's something I shouldn't have taken. The kind of lids they have for the plastic cups are the kind meant to pour out but also a straw hole. That's actually kind of cool to offer both in one but maybe I shouldnt have taken their straw. I am not sure if I'd come back just because I felt dissapointed by what I had. Overall it's just a normal coffee shop so maybe other people would have better experiences read more

Foreigner is definitely a hidden gem of coffeeshops in NYC. Located in the Flatiron district and Chelsea, Foreigner is both a coffeeshop and a photography/film studio (available for rent on their site). The interior is chic and minimalist black. Coffee is great and the price tag is comparable to others as they are a specialty coffeeshop that also has various seasonal lattes such as the Hanoi, a condensed espresso concoction similar to a càphê sửa nóng (not sure if they make a cold version). I've come here several times whenever I'm in the area for some good black espresso and the occasional latte which is convenient. The seating is not ideal for groups if you plan to stay inside as there is one two seater table and two bar seats by the window. They did expand their outdoor seating into a unique setup that I've never seen any other coffeeshop do. Overall, if you're looking for good strong coffee made with quality beans, this place is my recommended stop. They also sell their own nice smelling candles and have pastries from La Carbra. They've been open post-pandemic. No bathrooms. Small shop. Not ideal for working. Indoor/outdoor seating available and take out. Drink up! read more

Absolutely obsessed with Foreigner! This little gem is everything you want in a coffee shop--charming, elevated, and absolutely delicious. I had the baklava iced coffee and it blew me away--sweet, nutty, and so smooth. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the whole place has such a chic, cozy vibe that makes you want to stay all day. I'm already planning to go back tomorrow!! read more

Possibly the best chocolate chip cookie in NYC... I can't believe it. I have a sweet tooth so I've tried probably all the popular cookies at least in Manhattan and this one was a total surprise and blew me away. It is baked perfectly - firmer on the edges and softer towards the center, incredible flavor with hints of caramel / toffee, and the perfect amount of sea salt. The baklava latte was also great and they have Nekohama matcha chocolate bars. The chocolate bar was also great but not cheap ($18) - good matcha flavor, smooth, and small croissant bits. I will definitely go back!! Very small location with 1 two-person table, 2 counter seats, and 2 seats outside. Super fast and nice service. read more

The Hanoi ... something... special drink right now is amazing. It's like a Vietnamese coffee but not as sweet. Espresso is smooth not sour or burnt. Love the outdoor space. It's a hidden gem and I kinda wanna gatekeep this spot but it's too good not to share. The outdoor seating design def seats more ppl than standard table and chairs. read more

Foreigner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Small place with outdoor sitting (great during warm months) and conveniently located just off 6th. Their prices are pretty good and the quality of the coffee is high. I would recommend this over the nearby Starbucks, especially for you're trying to avoid straight up sugar drinks that are more dessert than coffee I asked for a cortado and got it almost immediately. I guess that's the benefit of this being surrounded by office space: people order and go. read more

I recently tried the Foreigner popup location in SoHo and had a nice oat cappuccino. Their service was fast and my barista was very friendly and nice. The inside of this popup space was huge! There was also plenty of seating. Foreigner is currently doing a popup in the Shopify event space and giving out free coffees till the end of January. Given that the coffee was free, I was surprised it wasn't really that busy. I work nearby so I stoped in around 9:30am before getting into the office and there was no wait and only a handful of people inside. Still, I'm happy to come back and try more coffee and maybe even a pastry next time before the popup ends. I also look forward to visiting their permanent location (it's just a bit too far for a before work kinda of coffee stop) read more

It's a beautiful coffee shop, but the coffee itself leaves much to be desired. The staff is moody and just unfriendly...doesn't feel welcoming at all. Also they are always out of something, like oat milk at 11am on Saturday?! How is that even possible in todays time? Very IG friendly, but there are a ton of better coffee shops in the neighborhood. read more

Interesting concept! I needed caffeine and went here. I wanted cold brew ($5) which they didn't have at 3PM? I ended up being steered toward an iced americano ($3.50). Not bad, but I wish they would have more drinks in stock. The guy working there was one of those people you can tell are chill. Would come back when I can actually try the cold brew. read more

Foreigner - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Coffee is just okay and the cashier/barista is really rude. She acted like she didn't hear me the first time I ordered. It's a tiny cafe, so it's definitely not a sit-down and work type of space. The coffee itself was a really generic tasting vanilla iced latte. I've had this coffee shop in my bookmarks for a while and specifically took the trek to come, but I regret it. Based on the other reviews, it seems like an unwelcoming vibe is shared among lots of visitors. To management, I suggest you hire a new barista/cashier because the one you currently have is driving away a lot of potential returning customers. read more

Happened to stumble upon this hidden gym on my walk to the train. Small, minimalistic cafe, with a very cool, warm, and chill vibe (the best on a rainy day). Definitely more of a stop and go shop, although there is a small 2 seater table and a couple bar stools if you wish to stay. Limited pastries (I personally love the cardamom bun), and full coffee menu - tasty and priced the same as all other coffee shops in the city. Service is quick, quiet and friendly. There was no outdoor seating when I went, most likely because of the weather, so no notes. Will definitely stop in again. read more

I went for the crème brûlée latte. I read a lot of reviews that it was so sweet so I was really surprised to find the latte underneath was quite bitter. I don't think it had any flavor except a strong coffee flavor, I feel like even a vanilla would help balance things out with the custard on top. As for the custard, it might have been if it mixed into the coffee kind of like a cold foam it would balance nicely, but because it's much thicker it didn't and neither could you get a sip of coffee with it together or through a straw, so it was quite hard to enjoy on the go. I tried mixing it in but like I said it didn't help much. Maybe they should try putting it on the bottom so it's easier to sip kind of like boba toppings. The taste of the custard was very eggy, again missing some flavoring like through a good vanilla. It was fun but I was drooling over pics and vids and it wasn't all that at all tbh. read more

Purely for the aesthetics. Beautiful coffee shop. I would like to say the coffee was also great, but didn't get to try it. I drink decaf and they do not stock that. Maybe in the future they will and I'll be able to bump this up to 5 star! read more

If you want to feel not welcome, this is the perfect place for you. Upon entering the person behind the counter was in the phone.
