Mandrake Café

A cozy gem with real Mexican flavor! This café brings authentic Mexican vibes right to NYC. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is super friendly, and everything feels thoughtfully curated. It’s a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The coffee is great, the pastries are fresh, and the whole experience feels genuine. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and full of heart.

It’s a cute coffee spot and the prices are reasonable. We got almond cream pastry which was super fresh and delicious. I also recommend iced oat latte.

I stopped at this place on a whim. The sign said "try our signature Roma latte" and I did! The cafe is very cute and the staff are friendly. The Roma latte was DELICIOUS! If you like Nutella or Ferrero Rocher, you will love it! It is not overly sweet but it has a nice roasted hazelnut taste. Decent portion size too. There are so many coffee shops in NYC but this one really stood out to me.

Me and my girlfriend went here on our 2nd day of our trip in NYC. She wanted a drink so we stopped inside to get one and eat. Atmosphere was nice and calming, service was fast and the worker was nice and gave us the extra they made. My girlfriend loved her drink and I enjoyed trying it and being there. Go support this small business.

So excited to try this new coffee shop. I ordered a cortado to go. The roast was a bit too dark, the texture was fine, but overall it wasn’t a bad shot. The space is a bit small, but it feels comfortable and cozy. It’s a nice stop on ur walk-about through LES and I’ll be back to try it again once it’s gained more traction.

Mandrake has become my favorite coffee spot in the city. Drinks are delicious. Vibes are immaculate. Diana and Mercedes are wonderful workers who deserve praise for their hospitality and adept brewing skills. The one element that could be improved upon is the background music. There seems to be a preset playlist and it sounds a little leaden. I’ve noticed more engagement with customers when the staff have control of what songs get played in their store so that would be my one suggestion as a satisfied regular

gosh i love this place so much, the pastries and mexican coffee is amazing!!! the women at the counter have amazing customer service; hidden gem in the city ❤️.

Love this new cafe! My new go-to for coffee in the morning. The only thing I wish is that they ban laptops and remote workers at the cafe. It’s starting to give “we work” vibes.
