noa, a café

Super small place. Pistachio croissant was super tasty but it was incorrectly labeled and it had raspberry jam in it when the label said it was the pistachio knafeh croissant which was unexpected. Super slow even though there were two people working there. When I brought up the mistake to the people working there, they didn’t acknowledge how it was mislabeled or bother to change it.

The seasonal drinks are incredible! I’ve tried the French toast latte and apple pie latte. Apple pie is my favorite. I love the flavor of it and it’s sweet which I love. It’s a small space but cozy if you’re able to grab a table. I find myself coming here often due to proximity. While it is on the pricey side, I find the speciality drinks to make it worth it once in a while.

beautiful interior and seating area! highly recommend the breakfast bowl and the tuna melt. wasn’t a big fan of the matcha, it tasted mostly like milk

Interior is nice and chick, employees are friendly, and their cups are so cute and sleek. French toast latte was not that good as I had hoped, just tasted like a regular latte with a hint of cinnamon. So I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it again.

Only came here to try their matcha cinnamon roll and it’s pretty great. Nice sweet matcha flavor and the cinnamon roll is delightfully doughy. Really nice treat. Staff were kind as well.

Space was cute and seating was great but, I did not like the iced matcha latte.

Such a cute spot! Today they’re collaborating with a designer so I got this cool cap for purchasing latte.🩵 Coffee was great, they have different flavors to choose from. Girl at the cashier is so lovely and another guy who were making drinks was very professional. Overall, great interior design, the place is small but very elegantly decorated with those stylish pictures on the walls. It has available seats in different zones (I believe there’s a hotel here as well), great to work or read, very peaceful environment!

Came here bc the cinnamon rolls look very good on Instagram but unfortunately they are extremely dry. They also totally tried to stiff us pumpkin cold foam. I saw the barista making my drink and he poured the tiniest bit in because they ran out. I asked him to put in a different type of cold foam but if he didn’t I would’ve been screwed. The space itself is in the lobby of a hotel which makes it a pretty good spot to work/read/sit. But the coffee and pastries are mid at best .

This place is the most inconsistent coffee place I've ever been to. I think there's only one guy that makes it well, and it's too expensive to be this inconsistent Breakfast burrito is good (consistently!) but has gotten a bit too oily recently Pastries are mid tbh worth trying if you're in the area and want to, but nothing worth going out of your way for Just don't get the coffee here!! Interior is cute

Slightly snarky staff who wouldn't entertain a modification to my drink (I asked for whipped cream on a hot version of the drink, which I didn't think was unreasonable)... Ended up giving up after the server scoffed and got the iced version even though this weather is just begging for a warm drink. Pumpkin spice latte was not bad but half my cup was indeed just ice and quickly watered down the drink.

Not sure why the reviews are so bad on Google. I personally actually really like this spot. The space was super cute. They have a lot of yummy food options. The salmon salad was pretty good. I got the baklava latte half sweet and it was pretty good. I guess the cashier didn't seem the most welcoming.

Food/drinks: got the honey lavender matcha, so good!! And want to come back for their pastries Atmosphere: not the best for working, it's pretty cramped and there aren't outlets Service: good service Price: $$ as expected in the city

I tried the strawberries and cream cinnamon roll first, and it was disappointing. It was dry and way too sweet. I decided to give them another try and got the original cinnamon roll, and I was actually blown away. It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, but I loved the sticky bottom and how plush it was. The sweetness level was also perfect. I would come here just for the cinnamon roll! The drinks also look great, though, and it's a cute little cafe to sit and chat in. The staff were so friendly and attentive.

Not worth the money or the hype. Got an iced pistachio latte for something like $9? If I'm paying $9 for a coffee, it needs to be extremely good. This just wasn't. It was watered down, not great flavor in general. Service was good and the shop is cute/trendy, but it's nothing special.

This is a cute coffee shop that is connected to the HGU hotel. It has some seating indoor and out but it is not spacious so tables are close together. I had a nice person help me decide which mind of drink to get as I was between two. I chose the french toast iced latte. I asked if it could be made on the less sweet side. The barista said sure. When I got it,it was still pretty sweet but I was in a rush. I had half of it and then felt badly but three the rest out as I could not finish it. The price for this drink was somewhat steep. Remembered that it was connected to a hotel so obviously prices would be higher. I did like the cups that they are served in. The barista was nice.

This place had been trending on TikTok for a while so me being heavily influenced needed to try. We came here on a Sunday around noon and the place was packed. Note: the coffee shop is essentially inside a hotel lobby with minimal seating. It took a while for us to order but once we did our drinks came out pretty fast. We both ordered matchas (I ordered mine with oat milk and vanilla and paid around $9). The drink wasn't anything special, although I may come back to try the baklava latte. We didn't order any of the pastries/sweet treats but might have to try those as the cinnamon buns seem to be a hit.

I visited on a Sunday morning, and I don't understand the hype for this cafe. It is inside a hotel, and it was super cramped just to get to the register. The iced matcha latte I got was not great. The price was average ($7) for a matcha latte in Manhattan. They still had Valentine specials available such as the strawberry matcha latte. Their pastries looked good. There was a pistachio croissant and a cardamon bun. Perhaps the experience would have been better if we could have gotten a seat.

One of the worst matches I've ever had :( Tried the strawberry matcha and the maple chai. So bad!!! I had been wanting to come here for a while and was so excited but wow so disappointed. 18.29 for two drinks. It was pretty, but I ended up throwing most of the drink out bc it tasted so bad.

The cutest little Cafe. Small space, I was only there for take out this day. Counter staff was friendly and they were working quicky to handle the line. I got 3 cinnamon rolls for a morning meeting of 3 people. However the rolls were large and honestly we could only finish 1 among all of us. They are really good but bigger than I expected and very sweet but in a good way.(shareable) I can't see myself fishing one in a single setting. So pro, we ended having leftovers. I'm not sure if this is a cafe that's a part of the adjacent hotel but it somehow looked like that from the inside. There no accessibility access entrance at the front to the cafe. There a table and chair for sidewalk dining.

Noa is small and quaint. It was a rainy cold morning but we were able to find a table. There are about 8 tables in the cafe. You order at the counter and pickup at the counter as well. The service was typical NYC, not overly friendly but efficient. A customer was leaving his table without discarding his trash and an employee yelled out to throw his trash away. Probably could have went up to the customer rather than having everyone hear the instructions. The rolls were decent. Neither of us cared for the taste of the icing. The cinnamon roll was definitely better than the cocoa bun which lacked flavor. We also had hot chocolate which was very good and hot tea. Next time we would try something else instead of the cocoa bun.

Cute cafe around Ktown in NYC. The cafe is dimly lit but nicely decorated. Could be a nice date spot! The staff were all pretty young and very friendly. The menu is creative and love the seasonal drinks they offer. I tried the lavender matcha (Lavender Fields) this time and really enjoyed the drink. I personally like their coffees more than their matchas, but would love to come back and try more of the drinks.

Ordered: Iced Lavender Fields (~$8): matcha latte with vanilla and house-made lavender syrup and purple sweet potato powder; with oat milk (~$1) Aya's take: Cute, cozy cafe located in the lobby of the HGU Hotel. I liked the picture frames sprinkled throughout the seating area - it's really giving NYC vibes. Service was a bit all over the place with workers stopping in the middle of making a drink to do something else. The Iced Lavender Fields is one of my go-to's at any coffee shop. Matcha latte with lavender? Yes please! The drink is super pretty but the powder started to settle pretty quickly. I wish they had mixed it better. As far as taste, it was light, creamy, with subtle sweetness. It was a good try but for ~$9, I expected better quality and taste.

Drinks are average or just a tad below average in my opinion. They're more on the pricy end but I like to think of it as pay for admission, as the cafe itself is rather nice. Decent amount of seating although I must warn--you are in close quarters with other parties, so if conversing about controversial topics or crude ones, I'd err with caution. Baristas are pretty whatever--not particularly friendly nor warm. You can tell they're trying to get their hours in and dgaf. Decent and quiet location that's both an intimate size without being stuffy or impossible to enjoy. I would recommend stopping by here for a treat with a friend if you'd like to take a break or perhaps catching up on a little work. I don't really see it as a comfortable place to to hangout for more than an hour or two.

We stopped by noa for a quick coffee and bite. I saw the viral crookie and was excited to give it a try! However, the crookie was a sore disappointment. It cost $8 and was served cold though I asked for it served warm. Finally, I expected a fusion of the two baked goods, but it was actually just a cookie in the middle of a croissant. Unfortunately, neither were particularly the best of their class. The cashier was pleasant though! Edit : editing as I later realized the cookie was almost entirely raw in the middle.

The service of the cafe was great. The decoration on the inside was cute. However they did forget about my order, I had waited about 25minutes for my order. There was no long line before or ahead of me. I had stopped by just to grab and go. But it didn't feel worth the money. Bread was too hard, too crunchy and difficult to chew. My jaw was getting tired from chewing so much. Tired their summer strawberry drink. Tasted like a very artificial strawberry milk drink.

I ordered the crookie and a maple latte. I would definitely come back for the crookie. I wasn't a huge fan of the latte. I couldn't taste any flavor (my friend who ordered the cookie butter latte said the same thing). I usually like when coffee isn't very sweet, but would still like to taste some flavor. They had about 6 tables for seating and the staff was very nice. A good place to stop if you're on the way to penn station!

Perhaps my order got messed up. I looked forward to ordering their Baklava Latte but unfortunately it failed my expectations. No toppings like all the pictures I've seen. No distinctive flavor that made it different from a regular latte other than perhaps added honey for additional sweetness. No hints of nuts. No spices.

While on my hunt for coffee on a Sunday morning, my Yelping senses tingled & I stumbled upon Noa. Intrigued by its menu, I decided to pop in. I mean, how can you NOT be attracted to the drinks advertised in its pictures?! I ordered myself a blueberry matcha. Overall, not too sweet, drink was definitely IG-worthy & service was on point. I'm so intrigued by their banana pudding latte - don't be surprised if I pop in again in a few weeks!

Came here to work early Tuesday morning to snag a seat, and the Knafeh Pistachio Croissant I've been seeing everywhere! To wash my pastry down, I tried their banana pudding latte as well. The croissant was more dry than I expected it to be, but overall it was sweet and tasty. The coffee had a strong taste of banana with banana chunks, so be prepared for that when ordering this specific latte! The seating area is cozy with nice couches and smaller tables. I've only noticed one outlet here next to the cashier table, but wifi feels pretty strong!

$10 for a latte (and not even a large one) is wild. $8 for a croissant. Tasted good, not great.

we love this cafe so much! This cute, quaint cafe is located inside the hotel's entrance. They serve some of the yummiest pastries, their cookie and CROOKIE is the best! Their vanilla latte was better than average, their lavender is delish, but is inconsistent...Their catering service was amazing! Def check them out!

The cookie croissant is absolutely worth the hype! I had a few bites and then ended up reheating it the next day, and even microwaved, it was delicious. I also ordered the coconut cloud matcha beverage, which is an interesting idea that I was excited to try out. I liked the idea in concept and the flavors were good, but the matcha cold foam seemed... off. It had a strange texture, almost sandy, like maybe it had been sitting out for a while? The staff was nice and the space, despite being small, was cozy and cute. I work nearby so would definitely stop back in for a treat and maybe to try a different beverage from their extensive menu!

Had a delightful breakfast at Noa A Cafe today. The cafe is attached to the Nomad Hotel. The establishment is small with a few tables and chairs. That said, it can get cramped if you dine in. It's decorated very simply, nothing special. Ambiance rate 6/10. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick for the shelf pastries and drinks. However, if you order from their breakfast menu, it takes a while for the food to arrive (15-20 mins). Service/staff rate 6/10. My boyfriend and I ordered... 1. Cookie Butter Latte: This had a nice cookie butter flavor, very smooth and creamy, especially the cold foam. However, it tasted very bitter towards the end of the drink and started to lack its cookie butter flavor. I wish they added more cookie butter flavor for it to distribute evenly throughout the drink. Rate 7/10. 2. American Cinnamon Roll: This was so soft, and had an incredible sweet taste, especially its icing. It was a fair portion too. Rate 9/10. 3. Crookie: This was average; the croissant could've been buttered, and it just had a regular tasting chocolate chip cookie. The bottom of the croissant with the half baked cookie was really delicious though. Rate 7/10. *One recommendation for both the cinnamon roll and crookie is it would've tasted way better if it was warmed up, which I would've wished for.* 4. Breakfast Burrito: This was very flavorful; I especially enjoyed the spicy chipotle sauce and chorizo. The tortilla was nice and crispy. It was also filling. Rate 8/10. Overall, the prices are a little bit high for these food items. However, it's kind of expected for being in NYC. Nevertheless, it's a yummy place to try if you're in the area.

We walked in at around 2pm on a Saturday afternoon and the person in front of us got the last crookie, but they said that the next batch was coming out in 10 mins. It's a pretty small cafe but has a nice lounge area across the hall since it's connected to a hotel. The cookie croissant was soooo rich and tasted like cookie dough inside of a flaky croissant. It was warm but so heavy so we shared it amongst the 5 of us. The next day it was still super good warmed up!

I came here to grab coffee with a friend. It's attached to the lobby of a hotel, and everything is priced accordingly (it's expensive). I had an espresso, which was good. There's a couple seats and it looks like it would be a nice place to study or read.

I stopped by here because of the great reviews and it was worth it (plus the crookie was life changing!) It's a cute spot inside a hotel, though they aren't affiliated with the hotel and have their own additional entrance. Seating: They have several small tables, so it's really a good place for a solo person or maybe a couple. I didn't realize it, but if you go into the hotel hallway, there's another seating area with couches. I wish I knew about that before I left! Coffee/food: They do have solid warm breakfasts. I didn't order one but noticed some other people had and they were big portions! I personally had a crookie and OMG ! It is a must have! I also had a latte which was fine. They have self service for water as well but were out of cups and never restocked them despite people asking They also were slow at cleaning tables. It was mostly all self service, but during my time there several patrons left their tables a mess. Neither of the staff members were in any rush to clean it up despite not having much seating available.

Really cute cafe attached to the lobby of a hotel near ktown. It's a small space, so seating is limited, but there are some extra couches out in the lobby as well as two tables out on the sidewalk. There's also free wifi and a bathroom for those who are looking to work here! The drink menu is really interesting and unique (and pricey of course). I got the strawberry matcha, but I found the strawberry puree made the drink sour, so I wasn't a huge fan. Their espresso based drinks looked really good, so I wish I got one of those instead. This place is famous for the crookie (croissant cookie hybrid). They make them in batches throughout the day, so they're always super fresh (and go fast!). I was a huge fan - very chocolately and super crispy so would recommend!

I ordered the baklava latte and it was pretty good. It's pretty sweet, but had a pretty strong coffee flavor. The bakery items look really good and I would come back to try one. The inside of the cafe was pretty small but had a couple of tables. I felt like the service wasn't great, I was never greeted by the baristas and she didn't say anything to me except to tell me the cost. There was only one order before mine and two baristas so it wasn't that busy. Hopefully it was just an off day.

For the price the food isn't worth it. My sandwich was burnt beyond being remotely edible and absolutely zero flavor. The chicken sandwich is somehow...watery? Their coffee drinks and pastries seem to be their strength so I recommend sticking with those.

This cafe is so good! I tried the banana pudding latte and it actually tasted like banana pudding lol. I do wish it had some cold foam on it-- would've made it perfect, but the drinks here are so cute and delicious. The service is also really good and the cafe has a lot of seating and nice decor. I liked that when they closed they let people go sit in the lobby attached. I would definitely come here again.

I should've looked through the reviews before I came here to try a matcha. I saw pictures of the strawberry matcha on their Instagram, which looked great! It looked like it had a strawberry puree of some kind and was nicely layered. I ordered a strawberry matcha today and I asked the girl working at the register if it was sweet and she said no. I ordered the matcha and it came out to $9. There was no real strawberry to be found in this drink. The matcha color was a very pale green and tasted like the most artificial fake strawberry syrup. It was sickeningly sweet I couldn't finish it. I can't speak on the food or coffee here, but I definitely would not come pay for a matcha from here.

I came here originally for a pop-up that was going on inside and that's where the pastries and the little coffee I got came from but we got there really early and we decided to just stop by the café and grab a little bite to eat before standing in line outside and so we got the Mamma Mia sandwich and it was so good. Also, the ambience of the café was so cute. Honestly, we spent like an hour in there just chatting and enjoying the coziness of the place. And the staff were so nice. I also really like the decorations and the furniture if that matters to anyone else but me. It's also connected to the hotel right next to it And you could just basically walk in between the café and the hotel so that's really cute too. Honestly, overall, it's just a really cute little place and I would definitely recommend stopping on by.

An elegant little hidden gem in midtown! It's beautiful architecture just invites you in and one of the best lattes I've had in nyc! Will be back!

If you are a black hot coffee drinker I would not recommend. $5 for a not good cup of coffee. Hope this helps!

Their food is amazing. Specifically the cinnamon bun and breakfast burrito. Almost an hour wait once order placed. The two times I've gone here I've waited over 30 minutes for the burrito. First time I ordered at the cafe counter and the second I placed as an uber eats on my way so it would be ready. It still was at 40 minutes total since i placed order and it was not done. Also this place isn't crazy busy, so not sure what the hold up has been both times. Customer service also couldn't care less that you've been waiting. They try to avoid eye contact, and don't check in unless you ask and act annoyed. Unsure I'll be back.

THE BEST COOKIE CROISSANT EVER Not really much seating inside the cafe, but I LOVE how cozy the place feels. Matcha latte was not the best but not the worst. The cookie croissant was amazing. It was crispy, it was gooey, it was SWEET; perfect for a sweet tooth like me. The croissant is sizable and was hard for me to finish it in one sitting -- all the best!!

Located in a hotel, this quaint coffee shop was relaxing to drink my Lavender Fields drink. A cozy hotel cafe with food as well.

Hidden inside a hotel, this cafe is a cozy and intimate space to catch up with a friend or beau! There's not an extensive menu but a few interesting seasonal choices to choose from. The place was quite packed on a Sunday morning but I ended up getting my Trick or Treat drink (matcha, pumpkin spice cold foam and brown sugar) to go. Overall, it was quite lovely. Nothing groundbreaking, the matcha is matchaing, the pumpkin cold foam gives it nice rich, sweetness. Its well worth a visit at least for the comfy vibes alone if you're in the area!

Came by to get some work done. No outlets, but there are free wifi and bathrooms connected by the hotel the cafe is located in. The music loud, so it was harder to concentrate getting work done. Got the coconut cloud. The matcha foam is very thick, but it has a great matcha taste. The matcha did separate a little toward the end of the drink. Coconut water doesn't taste artificial which is always a plus. Normally I try to stay away from store bought/cafe coconut water because it always tastes diluted. It was hard to mix the matcha foam and coconut water together, and I didn't see any stirrers or straws out in the open. I love the variety and uniqueness of the drinks they have. Probably won't come here to work again but would come back for the drinks.

I Baklava Sweet, nutty & creamy. They have two sitting area but I prefer the couch comfy and ambient with a bit of artwork of photos. Service is swift no wait line when I came. Great place to sit and chat for the valve of the coffee.

Not a fan of coffee unless it's super sweet but the latte variety tempted me and I had to give the baklava latte a go. It totally delivered. The barista was kind enough to give me only one shot of espresso and up the syrup and milk and wow the pistachio and honey flavor really came through! Loved loved the ambiance and sitting area. Super cozy, chic, and relaxing. I wasn't really impressed with the crookie and wouldn't recommend it (there are better ones around) but I liked the seasonal chai cinnamon roll. The flavors really came through on that one (I had it warmed up at home and it was far more enjoyable this way). I will absolutely be back to try their other drinks and maybe even their breakfast burrito. I was going to give this a four because the crookie was so underwhelming (and because it's also one of their most well known items you'd think it would be alot better but it was super dry and crunchy) but I think everything else was just so amazing it deserves the five. It's a special place for sure (given part of it being situated in a hotel if I'm not mistaken). There was only one person working (god bless) but they managed to churn things out really fast and I loved that there was drinking water available too (that and a bathroom is always a plus point in my book).

Overall rating: 4.4 I stumbled on TikTok a new cookie croissant people have started making or trying. Someone online recommended Noa which I was excited to try. The cookie croissant was terrible. Don't recommend. I also got a chai and didn't like. But I loved the cafe! It's in a hotel and a great place to work remotely. They also serve other items than cafe food since they are part of the hotel. I'd come back just for the space any, time.

3.5 rounded up. Service was soooooo slow and everything felt a bit disjointed. Enjoyed the baklava latte though.

Super cute and inside of a hotel. There is seating inside and it smells so good. I absolutely loved their croissants and pastries but was disappointed in their drinks. The matcha and coffee was watery and bland. The service was super nice and super quick.

The crookie was everything I imagined it to be. Flakey buttery but also crunchy and chocolatey. The interior is like a book store inside a hotel. And the staff are very kind and check in afterwards to make sure you have everything you need

came here for the cookie croissant and honestly it was pretty fire the more i ate it. it has a strong olive oil (?) taste at first so it's kinda SAVORY but the cookie baked into the bread is so gooey and delicious. i personally loved and would eat it again the space: attached to a lobby so it's very spacious but crowded
