You can literally stop and smell the roses (and coffee). This hybrid cafe is the cutest thing ever! You can get your coffee just how you like it and also shop for a cute bouquet of flowers while you're there. The best of both worlds! It's the perfect little space for working, meetings, stopping by or shopping for a little gift. My lavender latte was perfection and I can't get it out of my head!

This is such a cute little modern Japanese cafe on Bleecker St, although honestly we probably…read morewouldn't have even realized it was a cafe if it weren't for the little A-frame sign outside listing coffees and matchas. I got a Noortwyck latte (banana, toffee) and a strawberry matcha. You order up front at the counter and pick up drinks from the little red checkered table in the back. Service was really friendly. There's actually a decent amount of seating, some tables had signs reserving them for people who weren't planning to stay and work/study. About half the tables seemed open for laptop use, so it was nice to be able to grab a seat for a little while. Both drinks were really delicious. Not overly sweet but still super flavorful and easy to enjoy. I wouldn't hesitate to stop by again for coffee or matcha.

Super excited that Asano is branching out! I've been to their UES location around the time they…read morefirst opened, and had really enjoyed the matcha they brought to the very matcha-less UES scene. The concept of having a third space to do work or chat in during the day, and converting back to a restaurant during the night, is a cool concept that I hope we see more in the future, so other independent business owners can get a better shot in opening their own cafes! Asano has a nice variety of teas and coffees, with unique seasonal flavors that rotate every couple of months. Their matcha is solid, and my friend who tried their special latte, the Asano, said it was tasty as well. They also have some pastries if you'd like to grab a bite to eat. This spot is located inside the restaurant Noortwyck, so it has plenty of seating and natural lighting! There's also free wifi here, so most people coming in bring their laptops to work. The only thing this place doesn't have is outlets, so plan accordingly! I was lucky enough to run into the owner of Asano when I visited, and she was such a kind, friendly person! Wishing the best for Asano moving forward, and hoping to see them branch out into new locations!

Literally THE CUTEST place…read more I was very intrigued by the unusual caffeinated offerings of this place so this won our patronage the Sunday morning of our stay in the LES. I saw somewhere that the pandan vanilla latte was worth getting even though I have no idea what that is. That was my plan until GF made that her plan and I had to pivot. Black sesame latte seemed interesting so I attempted to order that but they were out. Whomp whomp. I pivoted again and ordered the banana bread latte. They serve them in those famous ny-affiliated coffee cups I've seen so much but have never had before so I can check that off the box. The banana bread latte was absolutely incredible. Idk how they do it but it tastes exactly like banana bread in coffee form. The pandan vanilla latte was disappointing, I should probably look up what that actually is before complaining. I will say that it was not aggressively sweetened like probably every other flavored latte sold. Such a cute little place I would love to try their matcha shit also.

Cute little cafe with great coffee. I stopped in once to get to go, but would try again!…read more I got the chocolate rose latte (seasonal) and it was so yummy!!! They had a few other fun flavors that looked good as well. The matcha cookies was great as well. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there was a few other patrons but service was fast. The inside was a tiny little coffee house vibe and there was a table outside too. It was decorated cutely, good little spot to grab something to go or meet a friend for a cup. Would go back if im in the area! My one complaint (which applies to most cafes in manhattan) is a bit overpriced, up charges for alt milk, iced, flavors, etc.

I tried the blueberry while everyone else went for strawberry, and both were delicious. You can choose your milk (we went with whole), and the evil‑eye decor everywhere gives the place a fun, memorable vibe. The person making the drinks was really sweet, which made the experience even better. At about $9 a drink, it's definitely a splurge, but the flavor is worth it -- you can really taste the fruit, matcha, and milk together. I'd go back for an occasional treat.

After reading this coffee shop that was mention in "Eater New York" on June 13, 2019, it lured me for a visit. https://ny.eater.com/2019/6/13/18677588/sawada-au-cheval-nyc-coffee-review Indeed, both Sawada Coffee and Au Cheval originated in Chicago, IL and now have a NYC location. I do not drink coffee in any form. However, I am intrigued with the military latte artisan craftsmanship creation and wish there was a military pastry or baked good in honor of my beloved family member who was a service member. I came to Sawada on a business day morning in the passage of time during my professional duties. My desiderium for a cold cup of tea to continue battling NYC's summer plaguing heat and humidity by staying hydrated prior to my professional duties and to battle the excessive poor air quality index (AQI) of horrible air pollution for consequence of Canada's wildfire smoke amid wearing a face mask. Customer service is very attentive welcoming and friendly whom my male server/cashier took the time to make suggestion with understanding of my needs and requests. This male server was not curt, but assisted me with respect, patience and perspective as I matter. He permitted me to take photos without question which are posted to this review. My eyes were affixed with captivation for the pastries/ baked goods particularly the gargantuan chocolate chip cookie $4.99. Oh! There are several limited seating with actual tables. The decor is dark intimate and cozy of wooden wall panels, and warm lighting. Sawada Coffee features a stylized, half-face half-skull caricature of founder and world-champion barista Hiroshi Sawada. The self-serve condiment station is abundant comprehensive well stocked including honey, brown sugar, coffee sweeteners, syrups, coffee lids and cold cup lids. Sustainable paper straws are available which tasted disgusting for an undesirable cardboard-like flavor totally impair enjoyment of my drink. Oh! Sawada's post cards and stickers are available for grabs. Au Cheval restaurant business card is also available for grabs. I would surely return for this coveted chocolate chip cookie. Jasmine cold brew, $5.95 I always have a strong predilection for Jasmine tea. I love the pleasant aromatic scent. Jasmine green tea (hot) is stocked in my home. It surely awaken my soul filling with renewed hope and optimism. There were abundant large block square ice cubes which amazingly sustained my drink's coldness the entire sipping time while I was in the vicinity. My cup was finally sweating with condensation from the ice. At long last! I always drink slowly for full immerse enjoyment especially wine. The tea was refreshing for taste and to intake antioxidants for health benefits. It is then I was able to achieve equanimity state of being.

You gotta love a Chicago icon's NYC outpost. Sawada is…read morenestled within Au Cheval. Both originate in Chicago and occupy a Midwestern amount of space in Tribeca. Especially by neighborhood coffee shop standards, Sawada's space is massive. And though it's not technically a speakeasy, it's down an alley, off the beaten path and feels like entering a wormhole to the Midwest. All that to say, it's a great place to hang out. And the coffee (I went off menu for a flat white) is really good...Sawada are you waiting for?

Every corner is photo-worthy. The Blueberry Coconut Cloud Matcha is a must-order. It was creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet.

If you're looking for a cute coffee date spot, somewhere to catch up with friends, get some work done, or just take the prettiest photos, this is it.
