They accept credit card but offer a no tax discount if you pay with cash. Please go support an Asian-owned business! IG: @_acquired.taste

I first heard about Cotti back when they opened on 8th Ave. I was surprised it quickly made its way…read moreto 86th street, and it's inside my favorite poke place in the area! I was really excited to give Cotti another try after my first experience (the latte was really good). I've tried quite a few drinks from this location: Stardust Oolong Latte, Cloud Mousse Matcha Latte, Pandan Coco Latte, Cloud Mousse Pandan Crema Latte, and Coco Cotti. One thing they have in common is how milk-forward they are. So milk-forward that my Pandan Coco Latte was white instead of green! The Stardust Oolong Latte sadly tasted like straight-up milk with no Oolong taste at all. The Pandan Coco Latte tasted like a coconut latte, which isn't bad, but I would like to taste the Pandan. Overall, I think there's potential because their espresso is good, but the milk overpowers any other flavor by a lot. With so much competition in the area, I think you can do better for the price unless they make improvements. I'll give it another chance in the future, but for now, I'll be taking a break from Cotti.

Food: This is one of my new favorite cafes! I haven't tried their food/baked items, but their…read moredrinks are excellent. My favorite is the iced peach black tea which I consider one of the most well-made drinks I've ever had. It's just a little sweet and comes with a slice of lemon and lime - very refreshing! Their menu includes a variety of hot and cold drinks, milk teas, fruit teas, mango pomelo, coffee, light snacks, waffles, desserts, and baked goods. I look forward to going back and trying some of their food next time. Service: Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: The cafe is a good size with many tables and chairs for eating. The place is always full of customers doing work and enjoying their drinks/food. Ambiance is very nice, and the place is well-lit. It's a nice place to just hang out and do some work. Overall, I would highly recommend this cafe!

They have limited hours and tend to sell out quickly, so on a Saturday I arrived around **11:40 AM**, about 20 minutes before opening, and was one of the first three customers inside (their maximum occupancy). This isn't a place to grab a quick coffee. The owner carefully prepares each drink by hand, so expect to wait about **30-60 minutes** if there's a line. I waited around 10-15 minutes after ordering, but honestly didn't mind because the space is so calm and peaceful. While waiting, I enjoyed browsing the aroma mists, smelling the candles, and just soaking in the serene atmosphere. It's the perfect spot if you're looking for a quiet moment by yourself. For drinks, I really enjoyed the **Black Sesame Latte**. It has espresso and was smooth, light, and well-balanced. I also tried the **Matcha Maple Latte**. The matcha itself tasted like excellent quality, but next time I'd skip the maple syrup since I prefer my drinks less sweet. We also sampled several pastries: * **Hojicha Cookie** - Soft and moist with melty chocolate chips. One of my favorites. * **Coffee Caramel Cookie** - Great if you love coffee. It had a rich, bold coffee flavor. * **Black Sesame Madeleine** - Nice black sesame flavor, though I would have loved a little more butter to make it even more moist. * **Yuzu Cake** - Beautifully decorated with an edible flower and packed with bright yuzu flavor. The cake was on the drier side though. * **Chocolate Cake** - Wonderfully moist and satisfying. The drinks were around **$8.50** each, and the cookies were about **$4** each, so it's definitely on the pricier side. For my Asian palate, most of the pastries leaned a bit sweeter than I prefer, but the drinks were excellent and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Overall, this is a lovely place to treat yourself once in a while. Come for the peaceful atmosphere, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and beautiful pastries.

Also bought a crab meat sandwich. Total was $5.25. Paid $6.00 I was too in a rush to stuff my bread in my bag and walked away without looking at my change. After stuffing it away, I was short changed. Only noticed I had gotten $0.25 back. I know ... it's only $.50 but it's still my hard earned $0.50. No receipt was given. Couldn't even argue for $0.50 back. There was no excuse to short change anyone. It was not busy and nor was there a line. Definitely count your change before you leave.

I stopped by after work since I had some errands to run in the area for my boss. I think I purchased 2 or 3 different buns but they all seemed rather dry and stale to me.

Maybe I would be able to give them another try if I am ever in the area?

The front area is half of a small bakery with a smallish display of various desserts and cakes. There's many different 4 inch cakes of different flavors ranging from $10-$15. They're so cutely decorated too! I would love to try them sometimes. Hopefully the taste matches their appearance. I came specifically for their drinks. They're from the brand Neaves that is located in the same storefront. I ordered off Fantuan and tried their pomelo avocado and kale drink. I want to preface by saying that I probably should've tried the drinks in their original form (100% sweetness) but in my attempt to be healthy, I opted for 30% and 0%. While I thought it was an okay amount of sweetness. It definitely made the drink go from a sweet treat to a health drink. My friend on the other hand, thought it was not sweet enough. Honestly would it taste better with more sugar? Probably. I'll say you can go 50% and up. Maybe even try the full 100% sugar. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my kale drink - it was blended with kale, mango, chia seeds, and barley. The barley actually made an interesting topping with its texture. The avocado pomelo was just ok but maybe with extra sweetness it would be ok.

The staff was friendly and super helpful. They serve teas, pastries, skewers, open face sandwiches and so many fun items. They also tmhave the option to do karaoke ($20 pp for 1 hr) and you can even use the space for a small party if needed. I got a few items and was given a few as promotional for their opening. Strawberry Matcha 4' Cake ($10) 5/5 delicious and worth the price. It has fresh strawberries and a sweet matcha flavor Blueberry cup cake ($4 received as a promotional for spending a certain amount) 5/5 surprising. I didnt expect the boba in the middle of the breading but it was such a good surprise. The cake is light and not crazy sugary which makes it easy to eat. Lemon Green Tea ($4 promotional was BOGO) a classic drink and they mash the lemon and lime so you can get all the flavors. 4.5/5 could have been a bit sweeter Beef skewers (2 for $5) 4/5 good but needs a little more seasoning Saugage skewers (2 for $5) 4/5 wish it was a spicy saugage but still good.
