I visited nuar on a sunday and thought the iced thai milk tea was so good. It also wasn't overly sweet. I came 4x in one day. That's how good nuar is. Would definitely recommend checking it out. It's also open pretty late which is nice I tried the thai tea toast which I thought was also good. I prefer the iced milk thai tea over the non-milk version read more

Pretty tasty food. I just wish I came on a different day. This cafe had a partnership with the app Taste, which had a promotion of either free banana pudding or $5 off a purchase. By the early afternoon, the banana pudding option was sold out, but I still wanted to try the popular Thai tea themed items. The service was slow, but there was a seated outdoor area. I also saw a print machine, which was so cool as it featured pets! After getting my food, I must say that it was sweeter than I had expected, yet had the typical Thai tea flavor. It was honestly pretty good, with crumbles on top. The ambiance was chill and calm, I'd come back for the other food/drinks. read more

Came here for the free taste app, banana pudding, but didn't realize it wasn't till Saturday lol. We ended up getting the banana pudding since it was like six bucks. Not bad! I did expect the Thai tea taste to be stronger. I also was a bit thrown off because I thought it would be cold and creamier because they said it was pudding. Still not bad tho! We got to sit in a nice space outside and the staff member was so sweet. read more

Came for the Pandan Wafer, but they were sold out! It was probably my fault for showing up 40 min before closing, but I had hoped for a miracle. Sigh. Next time. Instead, I got the pandan ice-cream with toasted coconut and cigar cookie. It was creamy, not too sweet and full of the subtle nuttiness of this amazing plant. Yum. Now I HAVE to come back for its wafer cousin. The space has some seating for maybe eight people total, but it's claustrophobically narrow and you'll be playing twister just to get to the trash can. read more

Note- Shorter review than most that I do, as I only ordered 1 thing as a snack/drink. I went here a good while back to this small Thai dessert and coffee cafe for a bit of a pick-me-up while walking. Meaning "deliciously blended," they offer a small selection of Thai-inspired beverages, including tea and coffee, along with a handful of desserts, such as toasts and ice cream. The staff was friendly, and the place inside, while small, seems like a nice place to work, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. I went with the Signature Blend Thai Tea Latte, available hot or iced, with the usual coffee/tea sizes: 8 to 12 oz for hot and 12 to 16 oz for the large. I went with iced, and it was $7 or $7.50 depending on size, and I went with the latter. It was very tasty, with the tea flavor shining through, unlike most variants. It wasn't overly sweet from the various milks, with enough spices to make it distinctly the Thai version of this drink. For the same price point, you can also order it hot, without milk, or mixed with lemonade, along with an oat option for an extra dollar. This is a tasty little specialty shop. I would go back here and try the pandan toast or another drink. read more

Dessert/Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 2.5/5 This is a cute, cozy cafe tucked away in Midtown, specializing in delicious Southeast Asian inspired flavors. The dessert and drinks are exceptional, though the prices can be a little steep What we tried: Thai Iced Tea (4.75/5): Absolutely loved this! It had a strong, authentic tea flavor and was perfectly balanced--sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely a must-order. Pandan Ice Cream (5/5): Five stars all the way. The pandan flavor was strong and natural, and it achieved that rare feat of being wonderfully rich without being excessively sweet. Kaya Thai Tea Toast (3.75/5): This was my least fave. While okay, I think it would be significantly better if it were served with a scoop of ice cream to complement the toast which is the parfait on the menu Tip: They offer a free Thai Iced Tea if you leave a Google review! read more

Cute shop walking distance from Madison Square Park and Herald Square. It is located right next to a small alley with benches outside. The inside is a long, narrow walkway with two tables and four chairs facing the park. People seem to grab and go or if they do sit down it's for a quick bite. They specialize in Thai Tea flavored items, but they also offer coffee and other products. I got a Thai Tea latte which is their version of the Thai iced tea, a scoop of Thai tea ice-cream, and the Thai tea kaya toast. The Thai tea latte comes in regular whole milk or oat milk for an extra dollar. The drink was milky and strong at the same time. It's not as sweet as other Thai iced tea. I saw a lady ask for more condensed milk in her drink. My boyfriend enjoyed the Thai tea latte though! The Thai tea ice-cream was my favorite out of the three items. It has strong Thai tea flavor with the sweetness of Ice-Cream, but it was not overly sweet to the point I cannot handle. It was honestly perfect. The kaya toast comes in pandan or Thai tea flavor. Ive always had kaya in it's original flavor or pandan flavor at home, so I decided to go for the thai tea. I like the flavor but I did not liked the toast. I think it was too airy and thick for my liking. I prefer it a bit more toasted. But overall, a very cute place. Would definitely be back if I'm craving Thai tea icecream or kaya. The server was very nice and accommodating too. read more

This place definitely focuses more on the Thai tea itself and less on sugar. Personally, it was too much for me, and I wasn't a fan because of the strong tea and lack of sweetness. I was looking forward to trying the banana pudding, but it was sold out by the time we got there. The kaya toast was unique, though I don't think it's something I would reach for again. Overall, bit of an underwhelming experience. read more

Service: 4.5/5 Drink: 4.3/5 Price: $8-$20 Cute shop that's next to a well-kept plaza, perfect for sitting outside to enjoy your drink on a nice day, in case the limited seating inside is all filled. Menu options are mainly thai tea-centric, with a few coffee options. Workers are very friendly + sweet. Owner seems connected to the community with frequent collabs + partnerships. Ordered the Sweet Thai Tea + it's what I didn't know I wanted all along- taste of the tea without a worry for dairy (i'm lactose-sensitive). Still very sweet, might need to get it adjusted next time. My only regret is getting this iced drink on a cold day- my hands were freezing outside! read more

I liked the Thai tea latte hot with the $1 toasted marshmallows over it. The texture of the marshmallows is actually a perfect bed of fluff that slowly melts over the Thai tea. The toast was okay--I think it would have been better if it were actually fully toasted or some sugar caramelized the outside of it to add another layer of flavor. Mine was basically soft white bread with Thai tea flavored Kaya over it, which was a little too much one note sweetness for me by the final bite. read more

I stopped by Nuar before dinner in the area to grab a Thai Tea. You order at the register and they'll call your name when your order is ready. Service was super friendly and quick. I took my Thai Tea to the outdoor seating area and enjoyed it. It's much less sweet than the Thai Tea that is normally served in Thai restaurants and has less of the bright orange color. It was still enjoyable and creamy. Note: When I went around 5pm, they had sold out of many of their desserts! read more

I came back to nuar for their mango on cloud. The mango on cloud comprises of mango ice cream, butterfly pea sticky rice, mango puree, and toasted coconut. WOW!! If you have not tried this, you need to go to nuar ASAP and get it! Every bite was just as delicious as the first bite. Everything worked so well together and was so yummy. The dish is also very visually appealing and stimulates appetite. The portion is a great size and filling. Service is always great and friendly. read more

Absolutely love this place! This is a hidden neighborhood gem. If you think thai milk teas are always too sweet, then you must try this place's thai milk tea. It's so much more focused on the tea rather than the sugar. However, my favorite is always coming here for dessert. I love getting the parfait with thai milk tea drizzle and pandan ice cream. This place is always so cozy. It is a really small place though, so don't expect a place to sit all the time. If the weather is nice out, it is connected to a park you can sit at! The service might a little slow, but it's because it's run by two people (i think!) so I give them some grace for running the entire operation. They also have fun coin machines for art prints from a local artist (at the time of writing this). I think it's pretty cool they include the local community like that! read more

Super cute cafe in flatiron featuring Thai tea drinks and Asian desserts! Stopped by with a friend to try the Thai tea. The cafe itself is a small space, but beautifully decorated with local art. The menu is pretty concise since they specialize in Thai tea, so I got their signature blended one which has milk and my friend got the Thai tea lemonade. The blended Thai tea latte was delicious with a strong herbal note from the tea. Less sweet/artificial tasting than other Thai teas I've had before. The lemonade Thai tea was super refreshing and tangy- perfect for a hot day. A little expensive for the size IMO though. We sat by the window which was really cute for people watching. There isn't too much seating, but on a Saturday afternoon it surprisingly wasn't crowded. read more

Checked out this cafe when I was in the area! I ordered their Sweeten Thai Tea (which does not contain milk). It was delicious and although it is sweetened, I can still taste the hints of thai tea in the flavoring. I saw that their menu has pandan flavored desserts, so next time I visit, I'd like to try that! Their service was quick (there weren't a lot of customers when I was there). There are a couple window seating and a bench where you can sit at. The cafe isn't very big, but it's right next to a small park where there are seating under the trees. I'd recommend this place if you are nearby and need a quick pick me up during your day! read more

Nuar is a small dessert cafe known for their Thai tea and sweets. The interior has a bench and a few high-top bar seats that was perfect for people watching. PARFAIT (KAYA TOAST + ICE CREAM) - 15 + pandan kaya toast + Thai tea ice cream I was worried this would be too sweet, but fortunately, it was perfect! The pandan cream was delicious, and the Thai iced tea ice cream was smooth and creamy. My friend didn't think it tasted that much like Thai iced tea, but I was fine with it. The graham cracked crumble added a nice crunchy texture. The white bread used for toast was pretty ordinary and not very toasted. Besides that, it was a delicious dessert that my friend and I enjoyed together. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE This place! As a cafe dedicated to thai tea, I had concerns how diverse their menu could get but they get really creative with their rotating and special offerings, including a pandan cream top thai tea which was really delicious, though I will say the pandan overpowers the thai tea when it's all integrated, so I would personaly keep the layers mildly mixed - mix until it reaches your desired balance of thai tea and pandan. The thai tea quality is also quite good compared to an ordinary thai tea. I wanted to get the kaya toast, but was alone, so I opted for the less heavy mango ice cream with butterfly pea sticky rice which was yummmmmmmhyyyy! The mango puree adds that nice touch of sweetness that the rest of this not-too-sweet dish benefits from, and toasted nuts on top adds a nice crunch. Sticky rice cooked perfectly and chewy. This dessert was the highlight for sure. I'm gonna say this corny saying. But run, don't walk!! read more

Great quick service if there's no line. Although I appreciate that they make the Thai tea not too sweet and with oat milk options, I didn't think it was that special for the price you pay. It might be because so much of the flavor comes from the condensed milk. For a place specializing in Thai tea, I wish they had a lactose free condensed milk. Cute shop though, and love that it's next to a park area. read more

It used to be damn hard to find kaya toast in the city. Then came Kopitiam, and then Urban Hawker, and now a version from Thailand is available at this pleasant specialized cafe in Flatiron that makes excellent use of the public plaza outside. In addition to kaya jam, the buttered toast is served with a delicious pandan cream on top. Perhaps soft poached eggs aren't as popular as a pairing in Thailand, as the only add-on options are sweet - I would probably skip the azuki bean next time and have the toast plain, as it already has plenty of flavor. read more

Came here to try their thai tea hot chocolate. It was alright, I think the drink itself had the chocolate parts at the bottom and the thai tea at the top so maybe mix it if you get it. The thai tea seemed to be from a powder possibly but it tasted pretty good. I think it was overpowering the hot chocolate though. The marshmallows also seemed like the store bought kind nothing fancy. Overall a little pricey for what we got I thought. Service was quick and there were a few spots to sit inside but very little. There are some benches/tables in the courtyard outside though. I think I would come back to give their other thai tea options a chance but I wasn't as into the hot chocolate as I expected myself to be. read more

Thai Tea has a perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and a vibrant orange color that makes it so LIVELY to sip on. I've had my fair share of Thai Tea, some were sweeter or creamier than others but the drink was still very pleasant and well-crafted. NUAR flooded my social media, and so was my disappointment when I took my first sip. The Signature Iced Thai Tea Latte leaned too bitter and lacked aromatic essence of an authentic Thai Tea all around. One of NUAR's focus was not adding "a fake yellow sunset color" to get the true taste of Thai Tea. I totally get it, but the drink TASTED dull and lifeless, COLOR shouldn't be the selling point. I liked the outdoor area with lots of foliage but I don't think this was it for me. read more

Cute and aesthetic spot to get thai tea and other desserts with friendly staff! I got the thai tea ice cream and it had a really good/strong thai tea flavor which I love. The pandan ice cream wasn't too overpowering and balanced well. My favorite was the summer special, which was like a mango sticky rice dessert with sticky rice and mango ice cream. Overall, a great spot for desserts, but not sure if I would pay $7-$8 for a thai iced tea. read more

Delicious! Need to go back and bring more family and friends. It's a small indoor space but there's places to sit outside. Friendly service, easy to order. Must try the parfait! It's the best of both worlds with the kaya toast and ice cream on top. Good to split. I had the pandan for both and was nervous I wouldn't like it having been exposed to lots of delicious pandan flavors previously, but I absolutely did enjoy this! I'd go back for it again, and loved the parfait enough that I'd want to try the Thai Tea version next time. The Thai iced tea lemonade and Thai iced tea had a bitter taste, and I'm not sure if that's the authentic flavor that I'm unused to or if it was truly oversteeped. I enjoyed them as a tea lover, but the parfait stole the show and was the best thing I ate all day by far. Must return for it! read more

Nuar is a cute Thai cafe in the Chelsea/Flatiron area. It's nested inside a public space and easy to find. I'm all about authentic Thai tea after grabbing a lot of them in Bangkok, so I was excited to see what this place delivers. I asked for hot Thai tea, but not sure why the tea ended up being just room temperature. As for the quality, I think the tea quality and depth is quite up there. The famous non-tea item is definitely the toast and ice cream. The price for the toast is a bit higher than anticipated. The ice cream is really tasty and that's something I'd return for. Overall friendly service and quick ordering system. read more

I love Thai tea so we absolutely had to try Nuar during our quick visit in the city. The space is tiny, with only four stools and one bench. When the weather is nice, there is seating outside in the public green space. We got the Thai Tea Float and Thai Tea Lemonade Soda. I liked how the float had a strong tea taste, which was balanced with the subtle sweetness of the ice cream. The soda was a nice and refreshing palate cleaner. I would definitely come back to try more of the menu! read more
