My delicious drip coffee.
Nathan T.

I love this coffee shop and cafe that offers so much more than coffee - the artistry of my cappuccino was amazing! The sandwiches and pastries looked delicious, ordering at the kiosk was super easy and the variety of coffee iced and hot is impressive. Order a cappuccino for sure!

I was really excited to try this place out. I walk by it often and see the banner outside with the specialty drinks. The Orange tonic one kept catching my eye. So One day I was like I need to try it out. I did not really enjoy it at all it was an odd taste. Tasted like Orange juice even though the person working there said its orange concentrate or something liken that. I did like the sitting area in the front it was cozy feeling but also it was very warm here.

Sammy L Coffee is currently my favorite coffee shop and study spot in Manhattan. The drinks are cool and refreshing. There's a wide variety of menu items, ranging from a sweet braised pork bowl to a hamburger on rice bowl. You can grab a convenient lunch or dinner while studying or working here. The kitchen does close at 8:30, slightly before the cafes closing hours. The AC isn't set at too hot or too cold. The workers there are also very friendly.

Double espresso & orange iced americano
May L.

Cute little coffee spot and hangout on 3rd ave where a lot of students were busy on laptops. We used the kiosk to order which was great because you can see pictures of everything. I got the orange iced americano which is almost like a regular americano, but has espresso and orange juice instead of espresso and water. If you haven't tried one you definitely should. It reminds me of an espresso Romano where you rub a lemon peel on the rim, squeeze it, or drop it into your cup to release the oils. Delicious. Bathroom was sort of clean, just a little stinky and wet. They also have a small rack of clothes from Korea for sale, fun!

Mango matcha and refresher
Mia H.

This coffee shop is a cute spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done. The interior is a bit tighter than I expected, but there are plenty of tables. You can order here at the counter or at a kiosk. Their menu has a variety of specialty coffee drinks as well as Korean fusion dishes (ie. bulgogi bowls or Korean toasts) and desserts. My friend and I just got a refresher and a mango matcha. The refresher was light and fruity; my friend really liked it. The mango in the mango matcha was good, but the matcha quality wasn't the best + they didn't add much. Overall, not a bad spot for WFH or chatting with friends.

Went to try the Dubai coffeeand it was pretty good !! 8/10!! Will come back try the Vienna coffee

Taro Latte
Gab G.

Stopped in because I'd heard about their fun drinks but this was not it. I got the iced taro latte, which had good taro flavor, but the one at Hidden Grounds down the block is better. Also it's $7 and doesn't even have caffeine lol. Mildew smell inside by the register made me not want to linger (other reviewers have mentioned this as well)...

this seemed like a popular study spot and and they had interesting drink flavors. tried their mango matcha but didn't think the matcha was very fresh. mango was good but a little sweet. drinks were alright but a cozy cafe to study at with a good amount of seating for busy 3rd ave

Taro latte

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in East Village. They have some Asian inspired food and drinks but also serve traditional menu items as well. There's a decent amount of seating, but it can get pretty packed on the weekends in the afternoon. They have free WiFi and allow laptop usage on weekends which can be hard to find in the city. Perfect place to do some work, read a book, or catch up with a friend here. I've tried both their chai latte and taro latte. Both are good, but I usually go for the taro latte since it's less common at other coffee shops.

Osmanthus Latte
Kathleen W.

Stopped in here for a coffee and saw they had a bunch of interesting Asian inspired drinks. I got the iced osmanthus latte and sat in. The space was very cozy and they really maximize the space with a ton of seats. The latte was pretty sweet with a strong osmanthus flavor and some osmanthus blossoms sprinkled on top. A great place for a drink in the East Village area.

Rose Latte
Joanna M.

It was so hot outside, my friend and I ran into the nearest coffee shop we could find. This was the coffee shop. Meh. The shop was ventilated by a huge fan which did the bare minimum of keeping the heat out. But my friend and I were so exhausted we decided to order from the kiosk. My friend got a Tiramisu Latte and I got a Rose Latte. When I asked the employee for clarification on the drinks, his attitude was blah. While I know for a fact he probably doesn't get paid enough, if I'm gonna pay Manhattan prices for a latte, I would've went to a cafe where the staff don't appear to be miserable. Ambiance is ok, furniture is slightly run down and the bathroom was warm and smelled of mildew. Not great. At least my coffee was decent. The rose latte was mild and fragrant but I've had better rose lattes. The tiramisu latte was boring but my friend liked it fine. So unless I'm walking by in dire need of caffeine, I'll skip this spot.

Osmanthus latte (front), taro latte (back)
Jen S.

I was in the area and was tempted to come here after reading favorable reviews of their taro latte and osmanthus latte. The service is fine and the coffee shop has a cozy/bright vibe with a nice amount of seating (but seats are close to each other). I saw that most people were studying or working on their laptops. I might be drinking the osmanthus latte completely wrong when I grabbed a spoon and completely mixed up the flowers and latte together. I didn't have the foresight that with every sip, the dried flowers would constantly tickle my throat. At the end, there was still a huge amount of osmanthus at the bottom of my cup (it seems they were a bit too generous with their scoop). If you do get it, scoop all or most of the flowers on top off to avoid the uncomfortable tickle. Other than that, the taste was ok - bitter with slight floral taste and a heaping side of osmanthus. It's not my type of latte, but I did enjoy trying something new and I appreciate any cafe that allows people to work/study on their laptops. Would defs come again to try their sandwiches and pastries.

The cookie I was most excited for was the corn cookie and the chocolate chip also looked really good. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed by the black & white cookie because for some reason I thought it was a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips, but it was actually just a regular cookie with black and white chips lol. The cookies themselves were really solid though. Nice light crisp around the edges with a chewy center without being overly gooey or underbaked. Definitely on the thicker side too, which I liked. Next time I'll have to try one of their espresso drinks!

I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. 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.

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.

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.
