    Strawberry matcha latte
    Tiffany L.

    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.

    Went to try the maple sea salt latte and is pretty good!! $9.25 . ..Will come back try the cream brûlée latte

    Crème brûlée latte

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Coffee was pretty good. Service and ambiance were great. Would recommend for coffee lovers.

    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.

    ((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.

    Walking in i did not know what to expect but by my surprise the service was amazing my drink was fabulous and i was able to catch up with a friend i cant wait to return. Thanks for the great service p.s and it was my birthday and it started off so perfect

    Crème brûlée latte
    Tashfia N.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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! The creme brulee foam was and the hardened sugar really hit with the iced latte! There's one small table and 2 bar seats inside, so if you're not there early there may not be seats available!

I was at this quaint tea shop east of Koreatown earlier in the evening before going to a meal at the excellent new Thai place, Wanglang. The staff was very friendly, and they specialize in matcha, along with having hojicha, genmaicha, black tea, and sencha. Along with more traditional drinks, they also have fruit options as well as black sugar jelly (I presume kuromitsu) and a Japanese citrus that's not seen much here, hyuganatsu. Along with the citrus, this place is rather unique as they had three different matcha options in terms of variety. As I tend to prefer teas pure and without add-ons, I ordered the Matcha Americano, which is simply matcha and water. I went with the 12-oz version for $6 + tax and ordered the Hajime, though I would likely get the Fuku No Midori next time based on descriptions online. The matcha was solid and had a mild sweetness and a light earthiness. However, it lacked some of the mouth coating found in very high-quality drinks from Sorate or Setsugekka, while being similar in price. Still, that is comparing to some of the best, and this was still very tasty and a lot better than 90% of the places in the city, being more comparable to Kettl. I wouldn't mind going back and ordering the other matcha varietal to see whether that is a better comparison. Outside of this, I enjoyed my drink, and the staff was friendly. I hope they do well.

I'm just really grateful this place exists near my office because it makes my week better every time.

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!

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.

They're a little pricey, but each donut is a pretty hefty ring of chewy glutinous rice flour batter. I had them the following morning, and the donuts still tasted fresh. There was a little bit of oiliness from the frying, but it did not taste off or too greasy. I think this is from the meticulous frying process and good management of the oil. I got the Cookies and Cream, Rose, Lavender, and Pistachios. I loved the Rose and Lavender flavors, especially the lavender which had a solid floral flavor without being perfume-y. I look forward to trying other donuts and sweets from Bear Donut in the future!

The second visit was to take advantage of their BOGO cake slice deal through the rewards app. It's a fun way to explore their cake selection without paying full price. I ordered the Blueberry chiffon cake slice filled with soft cream, topped with blueberry yogurt soft cream and blueberries and the strawberry soft cream cake slice, a vanilla cake filled with soft cream and fresh strawberries, topped with more berries. Service was friendly and the line moved quickly. Prices are typical for midtown NYC, but all the reward app perks make it more reasonable. I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
