I've been meaning to come to this place for a while, and today was finally the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's smack in the middle of dimes square and a very IG worthy spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's seating outside as well as few seats with small tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a pretty solid menu of coffee and tea drinks, as well as seasonal specials. I got the coconut matcha latte and it was very good. The service was friendly and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink. I'd definitely come back here again. read more

This is a cute coffee shop located in chinatown area and it is known for their strong Vietnamese coffee. I got the vanilla iced latte with salted cold cream on top. It was good. This coffee place is connected to a clothing store I saw. So you can shop and then have a strong coffee to fuel the rest of your day.

I needed a pick-me-up and stopped by Le Gaz for their viet coffees! I got the ca phe muoi which was their ca phe sua da with salted cold foam. I really enjoyed the viet coffee itself with its bold bitterness and the condensed milk, but not sure how the salinity of the cold foam fit in. While I'm a fan of cold foam and sweet-savory combos, I think it was a little too salty to balance the other sweet/bitterness flavors going on. The chocolate chip cookie was solid! I really enjoyed the dark chocolate parts and the cookie itself was on the crispier side (instead of chewy). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store itself is really cute with a cozy interior and a little hallway that connects to the clothing shop next door.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A few tables indoors but a good amount of outdoor tables when the weather is better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were nice and polite.

This new Vietnamese coffee spot is the latest "it" spot in Dimes Square, joining Le Dive and Kiki's nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of tempting pricey merch on offer, and lots of postcolonial memorabilia lining the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went for the classic Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, which was characteristically sweet and I suspect highly caffeinated (we'll find out for sure tonight when I try to sleep).

This is not a review of the Vietnamese coffee, which I honestly should've ordered to begin with, nor is it a review of the service as the baristas were kind and accommodating. That being said, I did not like the black sesame latte at all :( way too intense of sesame flavor, it felt like I was drinking sesame paste. The barista was kind enough to remake me a drink of my choice when I asked and I decided on the rose cardamom latte. I realized too late that I had ordered a tea latte, not a latte with espresso. The menu was divided into "Signature" and "Other" so I didn't think much of it but looking closer, I saw that "Other" was non caffeinated drinks. So the rose cardamom latte was not for me personally as it tasted like syrupy milk tea. read more

I think i need to try it again. Very welcoming, lots of space with their clothing store right next to it however its pretty busy even on weekdays. Service was really great. Friendly, inviting and they explained all the drinks to us. Drinks- salted cold foam was very solid with just enough salt to cut through however maybe there was just too much ratio where I was not able to really taste any coffee until the end. The matcha was okay. I think if they didnt batch make the matcha (i understand they're busy) and split it into 3 drinks then it would have been solid. i still had quite a few clumps in mine and so I would have the pockets of matcha. Maybe ask for less ice since temperature is picking up and starts watering down pretty quickly. read more

Why isn't there a menu up on the wall?? Anyway... I wished they made the Vietnamese coffee in true Vietnamese style, with a phinn!! True iced Vietnamese coffee except there was a tad bit too much ice and not enough condensed milk. Service is a bit on the slow side so don't come here if you're in a rush. This place is definitely for the much younger tattooed, artsy and hipster-ish crowd, not much older people people popping in (even for those stepping in for to-go orders). The spot is too cool for me and felt too old to be there. The seating is all wooden along the windows and the stools are metal, not very good for older people or if you have back problems. Lastly, they take cash but nothing more than a $50 dollar bill and need to order more than $25 to use a $50 bill. read more

I finally decided to stop by while I was in the area. I love Vietnamese coffee so this place has been on my list for a while. Vibes were nice - very sunny with some seating (but not really a place to get work done on your laptop). I wanted to get the Vietnamese coffee with salted foam, but they were out of the salted foam by the time I got there around noon on a weekday, so I just got a regular Vietnamese coffee. Coffee was solid, strong and very sweet (think it could've done with a little less condensed milk).

I've had two experiences here, and I'm now convinced that a good matcha is 70% the powder and 30% the execution. The first time I came in, I had the best iced matcha I've ever had in NYC - and trust me, I don't say that lightly, especially when it comes to matcha. I asked for iced matcha with regular milk and a little bit of simple syrup, and it was perfect. The matcha wasn't too milky or watered down; it was perfectly concentrated, smooth, and balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness. What really impressed me was that it wasn't bitter at all, which is rare for matcha. The second time, the same barista wasn't there (the workers said her name is Chloe), and while it was still really decent, it didn't have the same wow factor. That said, I'd still pick this place for matcha over anywhere else in the city. The place itself is super inviting, and the service is always great - the workers are really friendly. I think it's a great place to catch up with friends. Definitely recommend it, especially if Chloe's the one making your matcha! read more

The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

We tried the raspberry and lychee tart, and I really liked how the tartness helped balance out the sweetness. The lychee bits in there were sooo yum too. I could definitely taste both the lychee and the raspberry well. And THE CRUST!! That was amazing. We also tried the strawberry matcha latte, but unfortunately that was way too sweet for me. The strawberry also dominated the matcha so it tasted more like strawberry milk :( We came on a Friday evening, and it was really difficult to find a seat so we ended up standing around to eat everything. This place is so popular! I want to come back to try all the other desserts especially the cream puffs and pastries!

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.

My go-to is their Black Sesame Latte, which is usually rotated depending on the season. They also have a great Ube latte, also seasonal.

The texture was incredibly smooth and silky, not heavy at all, yet rich and satisfying at the same time. I'm honestly not a coffee expert, so I can't explain exactly what made it so special, but it felt like heaven in a cup. One sip and I understood why people wait in line for it. If you're in New York, please, please get it. Highly recommend!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
