Café Jalu

Very friendly staff! It's a beautiful cafe part of Printemp's luxurious store. When I walked in, I was shocked by how nice everything was. The interior is fancy and luxurious, just like their department store. The Roasted Garlic & Tomato Focaccia was my favorite of the two bakery items we ordered— tasted like a mini bagel bite pizza, but more fancy. Focaccia was airy, and doughy. Not the biggest fan of the Caribbean Chocolate Sea Salt Cookie— flavor and aftertaste was incredibly strong and powerful.

Great spot with friendly staff and a stylish setting. I ordered a fresh juice and cappuccino—both were good, and the staff was genuinely nice. The seating is comfy and chic, and the location in the new shopping center is perfect. The only downside was the presentation: for a combined price of over $20, I expected the cups and glasses to be more aesthetically pleasing.

I’m a bit of a coffee snob, and I noticed someone complaining that this place sources its coffee from a local roaster, which, to be fair, is actually a really good one, so no issue there. The staff was also friendly, which I appreciated. But… for the price point and the upscale image this place has, and with Printemps being French. I was definitely expecting to enjoy my coffee in some nice china. Instead, I was surprised to see their cups were from Crate & Barrel. Nothing wrong with that in general, but it doesn't really match the high-end look they're going for. Also, they should really have a trained barista to craft tasty coffee with proper latte art. That might sound like a lot to ask, but at these prices? In NYC, with so many other amazing options, it's really the least they could do. That being said, I would go back for their guava pastry.

Coffee shop in the extremely fancy Printemps Department store. This is not an everyday place to go to (read: it's quite pricey), but it's quite fun and special if you have the means to afford it. It's a great place to bring out of towners or family you're trying to impress. The interior is very beautiful and the staff were very friendly. I got a coffee and the Haitien pan au chocolat. The latter was really fun: the exterior was threaded with ribbons of chocolate and the interior comprised vanilla bean custard enveloping gooey chocolate. I'm glad I tried this place!

I really enjoyed my coffee. The chocolate chip cookie is super yummy, worth the calories. Yes a bit on the pricey side but gives you access to the most fabulous new establishment in NYC. The service was sweet and with a smile. Can’t wait for my next visit

Was looking forward to this, as I live nearby. I bought a croissant and a cappuccino. The croissant was good but nothing special. I was expecting a nice coffee brand from Europe and instead they are serving Devocion from Brooklyn, which you can find anywhere in the city. I would have expected Printemps, a French brand, to make offer something more special and hopefully parisian/ European. Very disappointing. The cappuccino was not good, comparable to Starbucks. Price : 7$. The staff is not well trained, another thing that was unexpected. The woman behind the cash register picked up the croissant with 2 hands, in one hand she had a paper napkin but the other hand had no glove or napkin, she touched the croissant . I told her she should not touch the food with her hands since she is at the cash register and she said she had washed he hands. Come on ! The design of the cafe is also disappointing, it could have been such a nice opportunity. Lighting in the ceiling is cold , lighting in general is flat and dark. Printemps: you should do better !

gorgeous cafe, friendly staff, but for the price the matcha is terrible. i tried the printemps iced matcha and the strawberry puree tasted like jelly and very artificial. for a $13 drink I’d expect a stronger matcha taste/ for more to used.

Tucked inside the gorgeous new Printemps NYC (truly the most beautiful department store in the city), is undeniably charming. The vibe is perfect for catching up with friends over a glass of sparkling wine and a little aperitivo. Service and food? Just okay. Not bad, but not memorable either. Bonus tip: they charge for the plantain chips on the side….so don’t be surprised when that shows up on your bill 🙈 Great for the ambiance, but come more for the setting than the flavors.

A chic, but comfortable, setting near the entrance to the brand new Printemps department store (the first one in the USA). After waiting in line to get into the store for 45 mins, this was an ideal way to refuel before our shopping began. The pastries were UNREAL. Extremely tasty and unique, and perfect to pair with their espresso or drip coffee. The specialty coffee drinks looked good too, but we only tried the standard drip and espresso to get an idea of what their foundational Cafe Jalu roast tasted like. Hint: it's chocolatey and not over roasted, so it's a winner! The service was good although we had some trouble getting the right pastry. I think the signs next to the pastries could be more clear but besides that, it was an elegant and rewarding experience!

Café Jalu is an all-day cafe that had opened up recently inside the new Printemps, a Parisian department store. The menu offers various fresh juices, pastries, viennoiserie, and dairy- and gluten-free options. We tried their Haitian hot chocolate made with coconut milk! Staff and service were friendly! The space is opulent and beautiful, and there's plenty of items to peruse through at your leisure. +all-day cafe +friendly service

Cafe Jalu is the coffeeshop inside the newly opened Printemps New York, and it's just as gorgeous as the rest of the store. I couldn't do any real shopping, but I stopped in to check out the store last weekend and one of my first stops was Cafe Jalu. I got an iced americano to go, but I'd have loved to sit and enjoy my coffee there, because the cafe is really gorgeous and fun. If you need a coffee and you're in the area, stopping by for a coffe at Cafe Jalu gives you a chance to get a good coffee (with friendly service) and check out the new Printemps!

Cafe Jalu is great for relaxing after shopping. Good selection of teas, quality coffee and pastries. Comfortable and lovely surrounding with friendly service.

This was my first time ordering an iced cortado, since I haven't been as into lattes and milk lately. This drink had the perfect balance of espresso and milk. It had a rich flavor. The cafe was beautifully decorated, and the service was quick, despite the constant flow of customers.

I must say this was another experience for lunch a very small menu very pricey menu but a beautiful little place to sit service was good. I had a cup of soup and my friend had a cup of soup, sweet potato soup. It had a kick to it but it was tasty. They don't give you crackers or bread or anything with it and then we thought we were having chocolate bar cake but it was just a chocolate bar $18. That was outrageous but OK again this was an experience it would be something I would do once and done

Cafe Jalu is such a great spot to work or hang out. The spiced rain coffee syrup is absolutely delicious and really stands out. The guava pastry was stunning -- flaky, fresh, and full of flavor. I do really miss the pebble ice though. It was one of the small things that made me want to come every day. Hope they bring it back soon.

The croissant was fabulous, pricey though. Also great to see some allergy friendly pastries and service was friendly as well.
