Tucked into the pulse of the Financial District, Variety revealed itself to me as a small, perfect pause in an otherwise kinetic day. After brunch, wandering with that satisfied, unhurried feeling, I stepped inside for the first time--and instantly understood the quiet devotion it inspires. The space hums softly with the rhythm of New York on the move, yet somehow manages to feel calm, intentional, and inviting. The chai latte was pure bliss: fragrant, warmly spiced, and flawlessly balanced--not overly sweet, not timid, but deeply comforting with every sip. It felt crafted rather than poured, the kind of drink that makes you slow down despite yourself. Surrounding it was an irresistible array of sweet treats and beautifully prepared coffee options, each promising (and delivering) the same level of care and quality. Variety doesn't just meet expectations--it glides past them with ease. Effortlessly cool and unfussy, this is the kind of café New Yorkers crave: a place to recharge, linger if you can, or simply grab something exceptional on the way to the next thing. Variety is more than a coffee stop--it's a moment of calm excellence in the heart of the city. read more

The coffee on the sign said $3 but I was charged $4.90 and I don't think tax is that much on top of the $3 coffee. I got a cold coffee and I think they messed up on the pricing and ripped me off. I was pissed off. Also you add the milk or creamer yourself. They don't do that for you there. Lids and sleeves are self serve. The coffee was pretty good and nice aroma. They did not put that many ice cubes. I added whole milk and the coffee tasted creamy, which was what I was going for. Other than that, the space is very clean and fresh. The good thing I like about this spot is that it has a lot of outlets all around you so you don't need to worry about running out of battery. There are 2 bathrooms and enough seats and tables to get by. read more

Lacking service at night as well as pleasantry, it's not a lot of variety but Dry here. But i can totally see this place happening during the day time with a lot of pastries and seemingly plenty place to work with outlets. Got the caffeine free tea and it was tasty with the fresh chamomile and rose. Unfortunately the bag was loose and I was eating flowers. I think presentation is definitely a problem but it could just be the closing hours that caused this lackadaisical service. I Really like the ambiance with the chairs tables all spread out with open window treatment. read more

My daily go to run on Tuesday mornings whenever I'm around the area! The prices of each drink is so affordable and the quality is really good! Everytime I come in, the pastries are usually sold out and when they are not, its definitely something that one would try. The merch wall is pretty cute. There is usually only 1-2 people working when I come in but it's enough to handle the crowd. I love how after each order, the drink is made. I feel that's very efficient for a small coffee shop and does not take away the experience for the customer. The space is kinda big and spacious enough. Outlets are available and Wifi included! Great place to bring your laptop. The ambiance is giving peace and calm which I enjoy as opposed to a library. It's a nice mix of serenity. There is a campus based Starbucks and around the corner is a public Starbucks but I'll go here if I want to opt out of the loudness & generic. read more

Wifi is available, outlets near the walls It started becoming busy at around 4:30/5pm ish. There was only one barista but he was pretty great with taking orders and making drinks, it was a long line but went by quick.

Rude staff! We went in to use the restroom and buy some bottled water, however they only had sparkling water bottles, so we left. The barista decided to chastise us in front of the entire cafe for not asking to use the restroom, even though there was no sign telling us to ask. He told us to HAVE SOME RESPECT! We're from the Midwest, any restaurant that is open, is welcoming whether you're buying something or not and we certainly don't need ask to use the restroom. How about have some grace and understanding that there are visitors from all over the country/world that don't know your rules.

This location provides charging point for each table, which is extremely helpful if someone wants to work or charge phones being a touristy area.

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.

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'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

How is it that this "jibara" apparently from Maricao, spoke to me in broken English while I am talking to her in our native language, total fail. Anyhow, I ordered the coquito hot latte with an extra shot of rum and oat milk, fine, I paid $11 for a very small coffee. Now what I can't believe is that the quesito pastry was $8. I really wanted it but it was not until I paid that I then noticed the price. I sat to eat it while I waited for my name to be called as mentioned by the cashier. I walked around looking at everything, the music very loud and hard for people sitting to have conversations, the place is very colorful and with many PR sayings, however the place also feels very Americanized with the music and layout. I still awaited my name to be called minutes later, but nothing. I approached the cashier, who was just standing there, to ask about my coffee and she wasn't able to tell me so she asked the barista steps away from her. He pointed to a cofre sitting on their counter, it had my name, and when I pointed out that I was waiting for my name to be called, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled like she didn't care. The coffee by now was not all that hot, I never tasted any rum or coquito flavor and felt I wasted my time at this place. What's more upsetting is that I left a nice tip for a service that was not provided. They couldn't even bring the coffee ti my table once they realized it was sitting there and they forgot to call my name. You can find better service elsewhere.

Truly, it was utterly average Italian food. It was solid, but there was nothing special about it. The service was decent, but nothing great. One of the wines cost $38 for a glass!!!!! They tried to charge me an extra $15 for mozzarella on my chicken. Would never go back here. If they cut the prices in half, it would be great. More about ambience and the "vibe" of Madison Avenue than anything truly truly special.

That really sucked! Im not sure I'd go out if my way to come here.

I ordered through the Molly app today, but i didn't really know the exact name of the drink. So I…read moreended up ordered a premium jasmine milk tea with jasmine whipped cream. When I went to pick it up, one of the staff members kindly pointed out that they actually have a drink called snowy jasmine, which is basically the same as what I ordered. Since my order came out to around $12, she patiently explained everything to me and even helped process a refund, then reordered it for me as the Snowy Jasmine instead. I ended up saving a couple of dollars, which I really appreciated. It might not seem like a big amount, but the fact that she took the time to let me know and help me fix the order really stood out. This is the best service I've experienced at 8ave so far!

Great marketing (Molly emblem), beautiful packaging (the pink cups, bags) and kudos to their media team for creating the hype. If you love strong Jasmine flavor, this is your spot.

Not sure if it was worth the wait though. Service was good, noticed that many others had an unpleasant experience, but the lady who took my order was kind and did not scam me! Overall it's not really worth the hype to watch a man pour coffee from a machine. Yes, it's a place to buy a nice cup of coffee, but only if there's little to no line.

It was 100% worth standing in line in the humid weather, and I'd do it all over again! The drink was perfectly salty, incredibly creamy, and I could actually taste those delicious brown butter notes. Of course, it's not the strongest coffee-wise, which is something I usually prefer in my everyday coffee, but as a treat it's absolutely perfect!

It was busy, so after paying, you get a cute ticket--hand it to the barista for the viral latte!

Hamburger America

If you're looking for a perfect, no-nonsense smash burger, this is the place. It's exactly what a…read moreburger should be. They don't rely on a laundry list of fancy toppings to hide behind; it's just the basics, executed flawlessly. I really appreciated that they keep it simple, giving you the choice of onion or no onion, letting the quality of the beef and the perfect sear speak for itself. Logistically, it's first-come, first-served seating where you're given a number. It wasn't too busy when I stopped by, so the process was seamless and quick. It's hard to imagine how they could make this any better without fundamentally changing what a smash burger is supposed to be. If you appreciate the classics done right, this is an absolute must-visit in NYC.

It was busy but not overcrowded, and we found a table outside. When you arrive, you order at the counter inside, receive a number, and then find a seat while your meal is prepared fresh. A server brings your food to your table once it is ready, it only took about 5-7 minutes for our food to arrive. I ordered the "All the Way" burger, their classic smash burger with mustard, diced onions, dill pickles, and cheese, along with fries and a gluten-free bun. The total came to about $17, including tax and tip. The burger was delicious. Smash burgers are my favorite, and this one was cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still moist. I also really appreciate that they offer a gluten-free bun. The burger and fries were a satisfying portion without feeling overly heavy. This is a casual spot, but it consistently delivers delicious food at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a classic smash burger in the neighborhood, I would recommend. I will certainly be back!
