We only wanted coffee & tea yet after reading about their cookies, we bought 2! First, my English Breakfast tea was outstanding. The brand, serendipiTea. So good I didn't need to add sugar. They gave me the option of adding maple syrup. I added some Oat milk, it was delicious. Then after my 5th sip of tea I had the most delicious peanut butter gluten free cookie. So good! My hubby loved his coffee and chocolate chip cookies, he was speechless. Love this place.

Stop in for an espresso made with care, or grab a dozen of their flavor-packed cookies for the office, which are sure to impress clients and coworkers alike. I've always been a sucker for their gooey Chocolate Chunk Cookie, but today a coworker brought back the Korn Cookie, and I think I've found my new favorite! Crispy on the outside, simple, buttery and perfectly sugary on the inside. It's the kind of cookie that looks unassuming but delivers BIG on flavor. If you're in Midtown, Culture Espresso is absolutely worth the visit. (Barely remembered to snap a photo of my cookies before they were devoured!)

I will never get that again. Frosting was pasty, thick and tasted too fake/processed. Too much frosting ratio to cake and there is room for improvement in the cake. Bombolonis are good. Stuffed croissants did not settle well on my stomach and actually too much filling.

The interior itself is antique, quaint, and there's minimal (but some!) seating for you to enjoy your tea at. One of my favorite parts of this shop is that their tea menu is all around the shop, right on their walls. So, you walk around the shop, look at the different teas (organized by type, caffinated/non-caffinated), smell them, and read the labels. I had a lot of fun doing this! Their prices are good and their teas are amazing. Definitely a cool experience!

The matcha flavor came through nicely, while the green tangerine added a bright, citrusy flavor that made the drink incredibly refreshing. It was lightly sweet with a little fizz, and the dried citrus garnish was a nice touch. The customer service was also great. I had a few questions about the drinks, and they were enthusiastically answered, which I really appreciated. I'm always happy when a coffee shop has interesting options for us non-coffee drinkers, and this one definitely delivered. I'll be back and would absolutely order the Green Tangerine Matcha Ade again.

The two drinks we tried were sours and they were both very refreshing and really easy to drink. Great flavors! They also had slushies available which would've been perfect for the hot summer weather. Outside of the counter seats, there are plenty of tables for larger groups. Bathroom is available here too.

One flavor smelled really good, and the one in this image smelled pretty light. I'm not sure what type of roast this is, I prefer medium roast coffee bean. Long story short, expresso shots are almost flavorless. the creme breaks apart each time and when I make a latte it just taste like milk with a splash of coffee. Super disappointed! I truly tried to like these coffee beans but I can't. I think it might be better for making an Americano...straight up coffee and skip the expresso shot. I have to give that a try
