LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the staff here! Alex and Leah are incredible. After one visit they remember my order and me. The coffee is consistently good, the art work is out-of this world! I have also tried the spinach quiche which (if you don't mind a soggy crust) was really flavorful! It's a small coffee shop, but I've never seen it overly packed. I like to come here and have a latte and read some afternoons. There are so many options, but this is one you don't want to miss! read more

I stopped by Frission for the first time and was immediately welcomed by the friendly barista. He crafted a delicious cortado with a seahorse latte art...pretty creative! More importantly it was deliciously rich and perfectly textured. It's a small place but there are several small tables for one or two people to pause and enjoy the funky vibe. read more

In search of a caffeine kick, we found Frisson Espresso after lunch to finish up some work while sipping on espresso. I just have to say - this place was HOT. It was a nice and warm fall day outside so the heat inside was excessively unnecessary. I usually order a hot beverage in coffee shops because I can't replicate the talent of latte art that baristas can, and I don't have a milk frother/steamer for the hot frothy milk atop espresso. But it was so hot inside that I gave in to an iced latte. Coffee was delicious, nice and quiet inside for doing work. Hopefully the temperature inside will be more comfortable next time I visit! read more

Man oh man do we love Frisson. While living in Hells Kitchen, it was hands down our favorite coffee spot - and that's saying something because there are a lot to choose from!! The baristas are SO nice at both locations and the quality is always a 10/10. Their baristas are well-trained and genuinely seem to enjoy being there which means excellent service. We go out of our way to come get a capp here even though we no longer live in the neighborhood. Flat whites, cappuccinos, iced lattes - it's always consistent. And if you're lucky you'll get some cheeky latte art too! read more

I specifically came to HK just to visit this coffee shop! I sat inside and ordered a vanilla latte and almond croissant, both of which were delicious! There is very limited seating, so I wouldn't recommend coming to this cafe to work. However, I noticed a lot of people inside were doing coffee chats, so this is probably just a good spot to catch up with friends. I really recommend this coffee shop! Their coffee seems to be a favorite, and my latte was really well made. I love how they have unique latte art too. read more

Was looking for a local shop while visiting from out of state. Coffee (cortado) was phenomenal, and the location is great. Near times square but far enough away from the chaos. But check this... I sat there for ~30 mins charging my phone, and the cashier incredibly seemed to know every single person walking through. Regulars, casuals... didnt matter. Each time, she brought up something unique about a previous conversation. You just don't see that anymore! So glad I dropped in. Left caffeinated with a smile on my face read more

Enjoyed my oat milk flat white a lot! The espresso tasted good- just the right amount of "strong" and had a good ratio of oat milk: espresso. Beautiful latte art! It was $4.75 + $0.50 for oat milk. This is about as low as a surcharge goes for non-dairy milk in the city I've seen (although I hope one day there wouldn't be an extra charge!). I've been on the hunt for great flat whites in the city and this one passes the test! Will return when craving some good quality espresso. read more

Free wifi but I wouldn't recommend actually working here long term since the smaller space makes it a bit noisier. Great place to just hang out though! read more

My latte enthusiast friend told me this is one of her favorite espresso locations in the area so I figured I stopped by after work to give it a try. The interior is pretty tight and small (only a few small tables and some bar seating) but well decorated. I decided to order a cortado ($4.25 + $0.75 for oat milk) since I wanted a stronger espresso taste. The latte art was beautiful (but if you want a swan or one of the other really pretty ones, you'll need to get a latte haha). Overall, the cortado was enjoyable. The espresso (medium roast with chocolate and fruity notes) taste wasn't very strong but it complemented the oat milk quite nicely. Maybe I'll get a macchiato next time for a stronger espresso! read more

Specialties

We are serving delicious coffee and speciality drinks. The espresso blend offers something strong, a bit smoky, pleasantly bittersweet with hints of tobacco. As unreserved and vibrant as the city itself. Our drip coffee is from Guatemala, mellow, balanced, and chocolatey. The harmonies between chocolate, spice and mild fruity acidity, along with a robust, full body, are endless in this coffee. Its flavor profiles also make it a natural companion for milk.

The inside isn't huge, only a handful of tables that fill up quickly. The coffee was good, maybe a little bit of bitter aftertaste but still a tasty latte nonetheless. They have a nice selection of pastries and desserts, as well as some sandwiches and savory options. I got a cheddar jalapeño scone and thought it was good, the right level of doughy and good flavor throughout. Come for the outdoor seating if you're in the area and want to people watch.

For over 10 years I've been an avid coffee drinker. I've been to Café Grumpy, B.Bottle, Stumptown, Irv. Farm, you name it, I've been there! However, I've never felt more inclined to give a coffee shop a yelp review that is until I started coming to Frisson. The staff here cares as much about the service as they do the espresso. One of the baristas brought my cappuccino and warm apple cardamom over to my window seat as I waited for a friend! Also, I love that they are so transparent as far as their pastry sources. It's great to know what you're paying for. I'm no stranger to Bien Cuit Bakery (they are delicious). I also love the mini pecan pies that Frisson serves from Las Delicias Bakery (well known for their gluten free options). Although my 9-5 is super exciting (ha), coming here is truly a highlight of my work week. I cannot ask for better quality, overall. I am working on my second loyalty card!!! read more

This is by far the best coffee shop in this neighborhood. I have tried their second location located at 3rd ave and my experience was amazing and therefore I was around hells kitchen neighborhood and decided to stop by at 47th st and again, I was delighted. This latte was superb and I just cant wait to go back. Thanks to the great baristas at Frisson Espresso I was able to enjoy a delicious latte with a special design for valentines day. Once again guys, thank you sooo much for the awesome service provided. I highly recommend this place read more

This place is fairly close to Times Square but didn't scream as a tourist trap so we picked this for our morning coffee. The baristas are efficient and get your order to you quickly but I was fairly disappointed by my vanilla latte overall. The taste of any vanilla syrup was lacking and the latte had very little consistency. The service was good and the space is nice but with the amount of good coffee in NYC, I probably won't be returning. read more

I came here to check out the latte art because my friends always come here and tell me about it, I usually stick to Starbucks Frappuccinos but decided to come and see what the hype was about , after coming here and ordering a almond vanilla latte I was mind blown to see that the barista do his magic with steamed almond milk into the cup , I surely recommend this place if you want a phenomenal latte with beautiful latte art on it read more

Came to Frisson Espresso for a coffee with a friend and it was delicious. The space was pretty small but there were plenty of seats. I had a latte which came with some beautiful art and my friend had a black tea. The only downside was that the music was a little loud and not something I wanted to listen to while drinking some coffee and chatting. Other than that. It was fun. read more

This is a great little coffee shop. It's small and cozy inside, with seating for about 10 to 15 people. The staff was friendly, which made the visit even better. My oat latte was strong and flavorful, and the chai latte was nicely spiced and delicious. The only thing I'd change next time is asking for my drink to be extra hot. Overall, a really nice spot to grab coffee. read more

Frisson's is awesome. I am always looking for different coffee joints in the city and came across Frisson's on my way to work. So glad I peeked inside and had a quick cup of coffee. I've been addicted to this place since I found it. The coffee is smooth, tasty snacks and pastries and I also like how there's places to sit and work on stuff. read more

We dropped by at Frisson to have a late afternoon coffee before going back to airport and we found the place very amazing! I would say pretty small place for a big market but it look cool and relaxing with a large crowd. I ordered a machiatto and I paired it with blue almond MUFFIN and I was so pleased and happy!!

For coffee lovers this is a place everyone must visit! All variables of espresso are available and while I really enjoyed me double espresso, I would recommend you to try the cappuccino too! It was just amazing. It is not a study/work place to hang out but the people working there, they are really helpful and friendly. read more

We feel in love with this place whilst we spent a week in New York. We visited most mornings the staff made us feel so welcome and by our second visit they knew our order. The service was extremely quick and The hot chocolate and cappuccino were delightful and they even made me a chai latte on request it was yummy too. read more

What a charming little coffee shop. Latte is so rich, satisfyingly tasty. The decor is minimalist but offers an excellent view of the street. Sitting by the window with a book and a latte is nearly paradise, for Bach was missing, instead some atrocious Britany Spear was blabbering incoherently through the speakers. read more

I have been to New York many times and never seem to have found the place to enjoy the perfect cup of coffee. Well, I am glad to have had the Frisson Espresso experience! The latte was perfect. The canelle was perfect. The ambiance was perfect. I will be back many more times this trip and on my next trips! read more

Upon entering Frisson for an afternoon coffee, I found the place deserted. However, the barista greeted me warmly, and the cappuccino I ordered was delightful. My wife opted for the flat white, which she also enjoyed. With such pleasant service and delicious beverages, we will surely return. read more

This coffee shop is the perfect antidote to anything over-stimulating and fast-paced. It is tiny and no frills and feels like everything NYC is not.

Had to try the coffee before getting a shirt (can't rep the wrong people or I'd lose my coffee swag back in Michigan). Nothing but great things to say. Go. But don't ruin it for the people who have it saved as "Home" in their apple maps. Edit: 19 DOLLAR POUROVER PEOPLE. DIDN'T LOOK BEFORE I BOUGHT... worth.
