Came by for coffee and a pastry the other morning and it was a decent experience. Service was quick in a typical New York fashion. Started off with a croissant and it was excellent. The croissant was slightly crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. My latte was decent although it was even better on previous visits. Temperature was decent and espresso was ok. There are a couple of seats available with a specific no laptop signage by the seats. read more

A little hidden coffee shop adjacent to the Dunkin. Eclectic interior but a very well stocked pastry case and extensive coffee menu. I grabbed an almond milk latte and the coffee is strong! Just how I like it!! The pastry case offers a large offering of items I have not heard before. The price and size are very reasonable able. Limited indoor seating. Casual. Good service. Please come and create your own experience. read more

A much better alternative to Dunkin and it is conveniently located next door. It is super cute and has some seating available. I really loved the decorations. The matcha was pretty good, I was able to add some honey which made it not too sweet. The pastries was light and fluffy and I truly enjoyed it. Would definitely be coming back. read more

I love this coffee shop! The oatmeal raisin cookie is the best I've had in the city!! I usually come here to get the chocolate chip cookies that he was sold out! The coffee is strong and delicious! They also have a very good Moroccan mint green tea. The service is always great. They sometimes sell out of the baked goods. Go early. Definitely a favorite go to spot. Delicious goodies and the atmosphere is cool to chill out and have a conversation with a friend. Can't wait to return. Definitely recommend, it's one of my all-time favorite go- to spots! read more

Ramini is definitely a local, small business coffee shop with a cozy environment. It gives that Moroccan coffee vibe so you can kick back, relax and enjoy the food, coffee and friendly service they have to offer. Their Kyoto is really good. I enjoy getting their cold brew every morning. The first sip of the coffee is so distinct and tasty. I definitely recommend this spot.

Visiting NYC and wanted something other than the hotel drip coffee. A quick yelp search showed this gem only a block away. I was drawn to it because the name reminded me of an old friend who left this world too soon who had the same last name. The owner was warm and welcoming and the coffee was phenomenal. The space has a cool, warehouse vibe. I asked for a light caramel oat latte and he made it perfectly! The caramel is house made too - none of that processed syrup here. They also had a great selection of pastries, some of which I had never heard of before. So I had to throw the carbs and calories aside and try one. I can't recall the name but it was like a mini croissant filled w olive and cheese sprinkled w sesame seeds. It was delicious!! Anyone in midtown seeking a coffee fix should definitely check this place out. read more

Not good. Average or bad coffee, and definitely not good espresso. I've been a few times because of the reviews and they aren't accurate. The place is really nice but you can't enjoy it because there is no where to sit. The coffee was burnt once and average or bad other times. The espresso is NOT GOOD. Served in paper cup and hard to finish. I still gave stars because the price is very fair, the guy is nice, and the cafe is very scenic. If he took the coffee more seriously and opened some seats, he'd be busy all day. For now, go to culture cafe down the street for better espresso and vibe. read more

I definitely would have missed this place had I not known to look for it. A cute coffee shop in an otherwise bleak area surrounded by tacky fashion stores and chain restaurants. There is a wide array of pastries (macaroons, croissants) in addition to their impressive coffee options. I opted for a latte. At $4 for a small latte, it was a bit pricey but it was actually very delicious. Plus, there was a cool design made with the foam. If you're willing to shell out some money, check this place out. It's a nice alternative to Starbucks. read more

Good spot for a coffee date, or for your morning/mid-afternoon perk. Ramini crafts delicious espressos ($2.75; credit accepted, no minimum) and lattes ($4 for 10 oz.). Mornings expect a little wait, as they get a lot of foot traffic. The line moves fast, thankfully. Friendly service. read more

I finally got a chance to stop into Ramini since I've been on a hunt to try chai tea lattes all over the city. The place is small. The crowd when I went around 7:30 wasn't bad. Customer service wasn't that friendly seemed more focus on getting people in and out. I get that. The drink I tried however I didn't like. The chai was not good to me and I think priced a little higher than other coffee spots in the area. It was interesting to try but I won't be back... read more

I liked this cafe, but had a really odd experience. I wanted tea but as one knows, the office is freezing in the summer and didn't want to have ice in it. The man behind the counter was nice, but said if he filled the cup all the way it would be an extra $2. I understand how ice does take up volume in a cup, but $2 ?!? It was almost as expensive as the tea itself. I tried the almond flour vegan (I think ?) matcha cookie as well and enjoyed it. It was crumbly, yet still moist and not too sweet. I would think about coming back if I were in the area, but would probably go to other places with more reasonable conditions first. read more

I really enjoyed my cold brew from Ramini. It was strong but smooth, with hints of chocolate. I also tried a green tea almond cake. It was a good treat - not too sweet but the almond provided a good flavor and richness to it. The best part was that while there was a line of about seven people, it moved very quickly. I was in and out with my order in less than ten minutes, unlike other swamped coffee shops. There aren't many seats, but it seemed like there were quite a few regulars stopping in on their way to work and the friendly staff knew their orders. read more

Since last weekend I began to really fall in love with flat white and am trying various coffee shops these days to look for a better one comparable with laughing man in TriBeCa. Ramini definitely belongs to that group. Got in right before 720 so there aren't that many of people. I quickly got attracted by their inside decoration - with broken wall and mirrors, interesting! The skinny flat white smoothly melt in my mouth the second I took my first sip, however the scent stayed. It was definitely the top three flat whites that I have tried. Haven't tried yet but their macarons also look delicious to me. read more

Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert.

After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

The base layer of the shaved ice was almost tasteless - didn't really taste like vanilla or milk, and it was just sprinkled with Oreo. I would rather just buy my own pack of Oreos and eat that. They have outdoor seating which was nice.

Did not disappoint! What a wonderful spot! Ramini Espresso Bar & Cafe is a hidden coffee gem in Midtown West. The coffee, price, and the service here is simply OUTSTANDING. I heard the hype about the place... Low-key, comfortable atmosphere, dazzling yet not overwhelming in decor. I was pleased by the people and the taste of coffee here. The prices are super moderate as well. I had the best cappuccino here, it was super delish, it was fragrant and very well brewed. The macarons are awesome too. Great staff - everyone was so nice & helpful. Go try it! read more

They just opened today!!! Great space, and super close to the office. I always start off with an espresso at every new place and this one was no different. It had a nice crema, and good color as well as taste, I'm thinking it was in the area of 18-23 second extraction, but I didn't ask. They have two Mazzer grinders and a La Marzocco machine, they also have this interesting giant drip glass test-tube-thingy, I thought it was a vacuum pot but it looks to me that it just drips out the coffee super slowly. read more

Very Good latte, exactly the way I like it :) The line was long and I was in a rush, but it went very fast and I could go back on time. The staff in this place are super nice, they really helped me to decide what I want. I did not try the sweets but they all look delicious. If you are looking for high quality coffee - this is the place, yet it is more expensive then other coffee shops in this area. read more

The treats and pastries are worth a try if you're in the area. I work nearby so some mornings I like getting the matcha latte and their gluten-free sticky bar, which keeps me going well into the afternoon. It's a bit pricey, but for the quality, the service, and the atmosphere (kind of cramped when it's crowded, but the place is cute), I consider this place as a treat maybe once a week. read more

This coffee shop is the perfect antidote to anything over-stimulating and fast-paced. It is tiny and no frills and feels like everything NYC is not.

Every time he's working, we receive our orders and codes quickly, and the experience is smooth. He truly sets the standard for great customer service and is a big reason many of us moms have remained loyal to Le Caffe for so long. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Maria Camilla, who has worked there nearly as long as Dereck. Her customer service has been disappointing for quite some time, and many of the moms who were once consistent customers have slowly stopped coming because of it. She usually works alongside a short, light-skinned male coworker, and the service from the two of them has been consistently slow and inattentive. On December 4th at 11:30 PM, I walked into an empty café. I placed my order around 11:40 PM, yet didn't receive my coffee and my son's hot chocolate until 11:47 PM. There was no line, my photos show the café was completely empty. Instead, both employees were talking and laughing in Spanish, walking to the back repeatedly, and taking a long time to even acknowledge I was waiting. This isn't the first time this has happened; getting decent service from them has become a mission. To make matters worse, the cashier ignored me when I said soy milk, then asked me to pay twice because he forgot to ring it correctly the first time. Again, this is with no customers, no rush, and no reason for the lack of attention. What makes this even more disappointing is that the location itself is absolutely gorgeous. The interior design is cozy, inviting, and beautifully done, the owner truly did an amazing job creating a warm, stylish atmosphere. It's a place you want to enjoy, especially during the holiday season. I genuinely recommend this location because of its ambiance and Dereck's outstanding service. But I also strongly hope to see a more friendly and attentive staff, particularly around the holidays when customers look forward to comfort, kindness, and a good experience. With another coffee shop opening directly across the street soon, these improvements are more important than ever. Le Caffe at 561 10th Ave has so much potential, but consistency in customer service will determine whether people continue choosing it.
