Suggestions for Cafe, Coffee, and Tea House near Chinatown, New York

Jin M. • March 9, 2014Pork buns and the sponge cake were very fluffy. Delicious! Only 1.10 dollars and that's a steal in Manhattan!!

Chris K. • December 17, 2023Nice spot with coffee and snack

Ariana G. • March 17, 2019Great spot for breakfast and wine in the evening! Recommend the Breakfast Bowl (you can sub tempeh for the salmon). Coffee is a bit on the acidic side. No laptops after 4 PM or on weekends.

Steven N. • July 21, 2021Great coffee. Wonderful latte art. Check out the back patio.

Jason • December 17, 2015Bike repairs and coffee shop mashup. Super convenient right off the Manhattan bridge. Friendly service from Qian, the owner. One of the better to-go coffee options in the neighborhood.

Kate • December 28, 2022Love the selection of books. It’s a small and cozy store with knowledgeable staff - they carry so many books from BIPOC authors and many mainstream best sellers as well.

Megan L. • August 31, 2021The classic bubble milk tea was literally the best milk tea I have ever had. Amazing.

Jeffrey E. • May 27, 2012Their custard bun is one of the best I've had in Chinatown. The custard's the perfect consistency - like pudding

Jonah E. • August 30, 2015Just fantastic and super reasonably priced. Go for the Ciao bowl.

Matt S. • May 16Green tea is amazing !

Kimmie O. • September 9, 2019This is one of the most adorable cafes I’ve been to! They serve latte art (they’re usually all bears) , bingsoo (Korean shaved ice), macarons & other cafe treats. They take pride in food presentation.

Kimmie O. • August 14, 2020Great for cat lovers (obviously). Nice to see the kitties playing around before deciding on getting one.

Paige G. • May 19, 2022cute new coffee shop that partners with artists to sell prints and custom coffee blends. try the ube latte or an affogato!

Serious Eats • January 3, 2014A good source for quality Chinese and Taiwanese teas, with plenty of rare herbs and spices, too.
