le cafe coffee

Best barista! She is very skilled & has perfected her espresso craft. The Dulce de leche latte was excellent! Ricottza toast was so delicious! I LOVED the Christmas music. A wonderful experience. Thank you!

Cute little spot!!! Amazing cappuccino. Maybe $1 more than another coffee spot... But they give you more! My large cappuccino is always full and it's so yummy there's none of that acidic burnt aftertaste like some places if you know what I mean. Staff is fast and friendly. I've been there a few times already and I notice that the person/s who makes the cappuccino acts like its really something they love doing🩷🩷🩷🩷 its not just a job. Also, their pastries look puff and fresh as well, but I haven't tried any. 🥐🥐🥐☕️☕️☕️❤️❤️❤️

This has been my favorite coffee shop for breakfast. Their toast and bagels are so good. This time I tried their cream cheese bagel and drip coffee.

Always getting my oat lattes perfect. Other places almost always over steam or just don’t put enough care into this craft. Highly recommend coming here as I’ve definitely appreciated their amazing care in my simple cup of oat latte.

Ok, I don’t want to be dramatic but this may have been my very favorite avocado toast, like, ever. It’s very simple and fresh, and just the right amount of acidity. I needed to ask what was in it, and the barista said it’s a bit of rice vinegar. (I need to try that at home myself.) coffee was good and all, but I’ll definitely come back for this avocado toast! (And sweet baristas.) PS: 4 stars for the atmosphere because the shop is a tiny tiny hole in a wall. There is a counter seating that can fit maybe 4-5 people tops. You may not find a space to sit. But still worth a visit.

This is a special place! Everything about it is amazing. The service and the kindness of the staff is so sweet to experience. They’re knowledgable on coffee, alternative milks, preparation, and their food — that’s so refreshing to see! This place is so much more than just iced coffee with milk, they really bring a uniqueness to their drinks. I’ve had the matcha, lavender honey latte, the red latte, and my favorite drink: a flat white. I would go back for all of them. The bagels are delicious, my favorite is the fromage bagel. It’s such a treat coming down to this coffee shop! ☕️

Very solid Cortado. I don’t think it was pulled very well this time but the beans are quality. This is a very tiny shop with minimal seating, so more of a to-go place.

I like to stop in for a latte when I’m in the area. I usually order the lavender latte and it’s delicious. There are small bites and a various options for coffee to choose from. I recommend stopping you when you’re in the area.

my barista Alexis was the best! the cafe is small but very nice and friendly love the mirrors

i love this place! can't speak on the coffee as I don't drink it but they have a fridge of fun, more organic/natural drinks and some mousses. I've only had the za'atar bagel which is nowhere to be found on their online menu but I promise it exists on the menu in store and it is one of my favorite breakfasts. -a lightly toasted sesame bagel -this cream cheese that was super light yet creamy and infused with za'atar seasoning -fresh tomato slice -AMAZING kalamata olive halves -i feel like i'm missing some small detail..?! i practically inhale it upon opening that wrapper and you gotta try one if you want to switch your bagel toppings up. i appreciate that they have sweet, fruit based breakfast foods, too. & i want to try their other options, especially the salmon choices, but it's so hard not to order this simple masterpiece every time!!

Cute cafe with a hot chocolate for my little girl to enjoy! We also got some lox bagels and were not disappointed in taste! The size is a bit small, but maybe that's because I'm used to Texas-sized things lol!

I like to come get my first coffee starting mine new day. People are always nice here, and they also do an efficient job.

Surprised by how amazing their food and drink was. I had the zaatar open faced sandwich. It was scrumptious as well as their london fog. A lot of people came by for a bite from here. It's a hole in the wall kind of place with very limited bar height seating. Will definitely be back for a future nosh! Happy eats!

Aesthetic cafe Good coffee Super excited that this cafe opened up near my apartment! If you want good coffee don't go to Starbucks.. GO HERE! I've been trying a different drink everyday and each one has hit the spot. The beans they use and the way the barista crafts the drink.. they know what they are doing! They sell out of their pastries fairly quickly so go in the morning if you want the full selection.

I love this coffee so much!!! I got the hazelnut latte with pistachio milk. Coffee is bold and doesn't taste watered down or weak. I think the hazelnut and pistachio milk went very well together. In fact after sipping and smelling mine, my entire family decided to get the same drink as I did. Baristas are amazing and know their menu- I love a coffee shop where I can get great recommendations from people who actually know first hand what's on the menu. Ambiance is beautiful- very NYC chic.

Cockroach running across the floor didn't fill me full of joy. The barista response of "that's New York" wasn't great either.

This little cafe was a gem! I ordered an Americana coffee with half and half and an açaí bowl. The coffee is amazing! You can have the açaí natural or sweetened, I opt'd for sweetened. The presentation was beautiful and it tasted delicious! Service was all smiles! This place is spotless because they're constantly cleaning. I would highly recommend the coffee here. It had great flavor; not bitter, burnt, or watered down. Just genuinely smooth and tasty coffee. I will definitely be back here in my travels.

Great latte! Croissant was yummy too. Not much room to sit but worth it for the takeout coffee :)

Super good little cafe! I love ending up at a random coffee shops like this one. We stopped in on our way to Central Park, when we saw a sign for salmon bagels and stopped in for a few coffees. This place was such a good coffee shop too, right down the street from the park, it is such a great idea to stop in for a bite or caffeine before a walk on a nice day. There is seating along the sides of the shop, with a little goodies/treats corner, so if you need to get some work done, this might be one of your best options in the area. Super mellow vibes, and quiet on the inside, so even though the world outside is busy, this a great place to visit. The prices here were actually good for the city, and it is better than stopping at a chain store. I think if you want a meeting place with someone and going on a walk, then I think this a fantastic place to meet for the day.

Le Cafe Coffee Another trendy coffee shop I happened to have on my to go list. Friendly employees and a very small clean location. The coffee was the typical price for my black drip. They do have a menu besides pastries. I wasn't eating. The coffee is decent. If you are in the neighborhood and they are not crowded you will enjoy your visit. It's not busy on the weekends. There's plenty of employees working here that are looking bored. I'm sure during weekdays it's hopping in here.

Coffee was delicious and made 5ft away from you with love. Baristas we're lovely and had a sweet personality and always smiled while handing that coffee. Can't complain will definitely be here again.

I had the Turkey, Swiss, avocado, arugula sandwich on a bagel and it was absolutely delicious. Probably the best Turkey bagel sandwich I've ever had!! My mom had the banana and peanut butter on toast and said it was also delish. It's a really tiny place but the food is great! Definitely recommend!

Came in here for a quick latte. Ended up getting a dolce iced latte and a chocolate croissant. Latte was good, croissant was okay. My brother got a cortado which was really good. Would come back for the cortado.

Came here based on Yelp reviews, proximity to my hotel, and the fact that I was looking to break away from Starbucks and Dunkin. The place is very small, but adequate with 4 stools for sitting. I was looking forward to trying one of their breakfast sandwiches, but the kitchen was closed in that particular day. I decided to go for a Chai Latte with Pistachio Milk extra hot. This was my first experience with Pistachio Milk, but I must say the Chai was perfect. Temperature was great, the chai was perfectly spiced. Great shop, quaint atmosphere.

Fabulous coffee and excellent avocado toast. Service was exceptionally friendly and fast.

I don't often eat breakfast but this is definitely my favorite spot when I'm looking for something filling and delicious (usually when I'm a little hungover and hungry in the morning...but it really brings me back to life) I am obsessed with the sunrise bagel. Lox, eggs avocado and a really good spread. It honestly is really delicious and works well together I've even ordered for lunch before on a normal day. Only complaint is I usually ask for whole-wheat bagel and they usually don't do it or say they just ran out or something...other than that I think it's cute they always put my name in the bag like a school lunch and are always really nice.

Gotta love this perfect lil intimate spot amidst the hustle-n-bustle of Manhattan for a steamin' cup of Pistachio Rose Milk brew.

One of my favorite cafes! Lavender and Matcha Lattes really stand out here! Both are just lightly sweet, just how I like it. Latte art is perfection as well! This little coffee spot is meant for take-out but I had the luxury of time to stay one morning. It does feel very nice to enjoy a cup of hot latte while the rest of New York City is hustling and bustling. Try that! :)

This is my favorite coffee shop in my work area. My favorite item from here is actually their chai latte's. Get it with pistachio milk, and you will not be disappointed.

Cold brew tatted burnt. Mocha was decent. Almond chocolate crescent was stale and had no flavor.

While I have never eaten their food, I get coffee here often. They put in that extra touch of effort for whatever drink you order. The lattes have a lovely pattern on the top, for example. This is more than just average quality for grab-and-go. You will really enjoy your drink! The place is tiny, but don't let that bother you. It is perfect for a quick visit while in the neighborhood. They also have a punch card if you are a regular. Every 10th drink is free!

This place will make the food the way you want it. The bagels are fantastic here. L didn't want pink salt on it and they actually followed instructions. Next time we might get it with just a touch of salt. Bagel was fresh and delicious. I still ordered The Spring for myself. A few more grape tomatoes this time. They added sweetness and paired very nicely with the whipped cheese. Delicious but again pricey at $7. It's also really hot inside this cafe. Packed with customers in the afternoon. It's a lil odd to find people willing to sit inside to drink their coffee when it was so damn hot in that small space.

A little pricey. I got a dulce de lech latte but I don't think I had an option in the sizing because the barista didn't ask me. But I paid about $6.75 for this 12oz drink. It just seems kinda pricey for the size. It's just a meh for me, not totally impressed.

Adorable spot to pick up your morning cup o' Joe. It's a clean little space with a few seats for a nice view of the commuters power walking down Lexington. FOOD Rise Up was a fantastic breakfast bagel. Not very dense, almost bread-like toasted bagel, with a light drizzle of olive oil on the eggs, avocado and arugula. Really excellent, I'm likely going to come back to try some of their other breakfast sandwiches in the near future. SERVICE A++ service, the staff is so kind! We could hear them greeting regulars, which is always a good sign. They had missed my partner's espresso order, and given us an almost complete punchcard in apology. Really considerate of them!

This Le Cafe was around the corner for The Hotel Carvi where we were staying, so we went there to grab a coffee and a bagel before leaving NYC. What a find! Service--efficient and friendly, Coffee--excellent, bagels--toasted perfectly and delicious. Of course, there is a huge chain coffee place just opposite where one can sit and linger--and we had a rooftop breakfast at the hotel with Le Cafe's fare instead. This place makes you glad you visited New York City.

Some of the best coffee and breakfast I've had in NYC! We travel a lot and are always looking for good cafes. This little gem located on the corner of 55th Street & Lexington Ave is fantastic! I had a lavender latte and "Sunrise" sandwich (egg, salmon, avocado on a bagel). My husband had a cortado and the same sandwich. We then ordered a coconut donut and mocha to go. This is definitely worth the stop. And the baristas are super friendly (nice touch). Thanks for a great NYE morning treat.

Stopped by quickly to grab a coffe, based on what i saw on yelp. A small lavender iced latte cost me $4.75 which is really expensive for such a small amount of coffee. It was good she made it well and it didn't have too much milk. Because of the prices i will not be coming back.

Lame hump day afternoon, all I needed is just a cup of coffee to cheer myself up. So today I brought my colleague to this newly opened artisanal place that conveniently located on Lex - I got the lavender latte. Loved it, as the lavender syrup carried just the right amount of sweetness. Cannot wait to try their other signature drinks (red tea latte). This place was little bit packed and felt to me, a bit cramped, unfortunately.

Pick up order via food app:: Cute little coffee shop. Felt a great amount of energy from the staff, they spoke up when I looked confused. Order was already ready when I arrived. Lavender Latte is amazing, has the right amount of lavender and sweetness. Definitely will be returning.

Randomly walked here looking for mon cafe. Cute spot, waaaay cheaper then Little Collins next door. Tried their reg coffee and really enjoying it. Didn't try their specialty coffees but worth a try! Friendly non-'i'm too good for you' staff. Thank you!

This is strictly for one of the drinks I ordered- 'Latte En Rose'. Im really into floral lattes so when I saw that they had a rose latte on the menu I had to order it. What I appreciated was that they had oat milk. The latte itself was a disappointment. They told me it was a rose essence. I didn't taste an essence of anything, maybe at the end or bottom of the drink in my last few sips I almost tasted a hint of rose. But thats it. The only essence I tasted for most of the drink was the oat milk and the coffee. Like I said Im really into my floral lattes so I was turned off that there was barely a hint of rose in it. I was also told by the barista they put rose petals on it, but mine didn't have any. And I didn't order the wrong thing nor did they mess up my order because the barista specifically called out ROSE latte. Maybe they ran out or they were too busy? Def overpriced for what I received. If I was ever in the area again I may try the Lavender as it has better reviews. Service was good. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

We ordered hot mocha and chocolate croissant. We wanted the croissant to be heated up, but they had no way for the same. The hot mocha we ordered was not hot, and we right away gave the feedback. Our mocha was then replaced, which was good, but the barista had a very reluctant attitude and seemed annoyed. We would avoid this cafe in NYC, especially since there are so many other better options.

What more do you want simply served on a cold day in New York... A Lavender Latte- perfectly served of course!! Beans are roasted to perfection- not burnt like "other" coffee shops... Lavendar Syrup is not laden with High fructose/ corn syrup ... It's perfectly extracted from cane syrup ( what a difference!!) Friendly and knowledgeable service! Serves a small menu of eats too... With the slightly overrated, crowded Little Collins next door.... I'd say this is the up and coming best kept secret!

It was my first time here and I walked in to find an elderly couple embarrassed about the cup of coffee the wife had spilled all over the floor. She was apologizing for the mess and the barista ran over to help and said: "Don't worry about the floor, I'm just worried that you're ok!" Then she began cleaning and proceeded to ask for the order again so she could make the woman a fresh cup. What rare A+ customer service. I'd come back again just to patronize such a lovely place but the good news is the coffee is great, too.

My boyfriend and I came from out of state and wanted to try this place out because of the reviews. I got the matcha latte because matcha has always been my favorite drink and it was by far the best one i've had so far! So smooth and subtly sweet. The barista was nice and helpful. Had to come back and get another one the same day! Will def come back again whenever I come visit Ny again.

I walk by everyday on the way to work & the lines are generally not too long (really really small space so don't come here to work or anything). I got a large americano. Wasn't bad, wasn't good. Woke me up. The three stars is for the unique selection of lattes like the lavender latte! Will have to come back to check that out when I have a calorie splurge day :) Also the service was very friendly. Dough donuts which is cool but the other selection for food was rather limited.

I work right around the corner from this location and it finally opened! It's their grand opening so everything is 50% off! Score! It's a tight squeeze inside but no problem. Staff is friendly and fast. I got a medium lavender latte and oh my gosh...delicious!!! If you're into the floral drinks, definitely get this. It's delightful. They also have a good selection of donuts and plain croissant available. I've never gone to their other locations so I don't know how they're like but I think this place will do fine. There's good competition around it but I think they won't have any issues :)

Cute small cafe. Food and service was great! This place is clean and well taken care of. They make your food there right after ordering it, so it tastes very fresh. Even the orange juice I ordered was freshly squeezed!

The avocado toast with ricotta and honey drizzle is out of this world. The quality of the bread and cheese is outstanding, the way the honey and avo all work together with all the toppings (there's a bunch of great spices to top it off), is insane. It's a perfect way to start your day or any time of day. Try it and it will change your day. 6 stars.

Love this place!! My barista was amazing! The hours are a bit unfortunate but I get it because of Covid. Barista made sure I liked my coffee and wanted me to taste before paying because it was something new. Baked goods are also very fresh. Definitely recommend!

Honestly one of the best cappuccino's I've ever had. The taste of the coffee itself makes me want a second cup for later and the foam is just so smooth! I wish I passed the place on the daily. 10/10 Recommend this tiny hidden gem.

Amazing clean place with a fabulous music, friendly service and the most amazing coffee in New York - so far best in Midtown East! Flat white - made with love! Highly recommended!

we come here often. Love the people. The food is great the coffee is fantastic! This is one of those cafe's that is worth the trip out of your neighborhood to try.

SOOO happy I don't have to go all the way down to Union Sq. for my Lavender Latte fix! This place is just as good as the original, albeit a lot smaller! Tight squeeze but worth it! Have yet to try any of the pastries, but will gladly return for my latte treat!

Iced Matcha Oat Milk is superb! There is this one young woman who is there quite often during early mornings and she is so kind. The matcha is always perfect! thank you :)

I got the Rise Up bagel and they don't explain on the menu that it's an egg salad sandwich. I wish they had clarified that before ordering. The taste was mediocre and it tasted a little off to me. Worst bagel I've had in NYC by far. Service is also kind of slow too.

I really enjoy this place, always greeted with a fuzzy warm welcome by every barista. I love their lavender latte.. A LOT
