Thē Soirēe

This spot has really good coffee and other drinks, but they also have excellent cocktails too. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had, and they get really creative with all of their cocktails ❤️ the staff are really really nice and you even get a free shot with every cocktail you order!

Earlier on today, I stopped into The Soirée for a treat, which was fun. The young man who greeted me and took my order, Jimmy, was gentle and welcoming. And the young lady, Ellie, who made my drink, was equally lovely and hospitable. It’s sad to say this, but in an era in which we seem to outsource and devalue “customer service” more and more, having good service is a true gift. Okay - enough social commentary! * I chose a Matcha Latte, which was made with their “default” base, which is organic oat milk. I thought that that’s a unique and eco-friendly choice. (That is, at this establishment, they assume that you’re getting org. oat milk with your milk-based drink, unless you tell them otherwise.) The ambiance at The Soirée is ideal — it’s both emotionally warm and aesthetically pleasing. And my physically warm (and warming), drink was pleasantly flavorful…not too sweet. I took it to go, since I had an immanent task to complete; yet, I could totally see myself going there sometime (to get some work done), and staying for a while. I highly recommend! * The only suggestion that I’d humbly offer is that, along with packets of sweetener and syrups, that the management put out cinnamon and/or cardamom, in powered form, so that their customers can add a bit to their drinks, if they so choose. Again, after my first experience there, I hope to go back. Thanks, Soiree team! : ) Happy that you all are in our HK neighborhood now. My Best, Katherine AKA Kat

I stumbled on this cafe during a recent visit to New York with my kids. They specialize in matcha so if you are looking for fairly generic tea options, this may not be the place for you. But if you are a matcha lover, then you will be in heaven, as I am. They have a variety of matchas, a delicious hojicha hot chocolate (trust me - it’s so good) and a lot of house-infused creations - lavender essence, chocolate syrup. And the staff is very passionate about the drinks and their sources. I came here every day of our trip and can’t wait to return. Now, I see a handful of reviews that say it’s too expensive, etc. I say- Welcome to New York. It’s expensive to have a business here in a good location with great staff. If you want a high quality, organic, custom crafted drink, you have to pay for it.

Wonderful cafe with incredibly delicious pastries. I try not to go to the same cafe twice but this one I’m definitely coming back to try more. Pleas visit if you have the chance.

I’m a huge matcha fan and they nailed it. I like mine slightly sweet and they were able to accommodate that. Atmosphere is aesthetic and everything about it is 10/10. Highly recommend.

Finally had a chance to stop by this relatively new coffee shop! Really cute interior and decor. It has a very original and eclectic menu; not a typical coffee shop. Matcha latte was amazing! The staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The pastries looked delicious; will definitely be trying those next time I go!

A seriously quality coffee shop, with a fantastic vibe. It’s a tight spot if you’re looking for somewhere to work, but doable. I come here for the coffee. They have some excellent options, like the Saint Tropez latte. The cups are compostable, including the lids for the rainy days that I use them. The quality of their mocha is also top notch, and they have some great matcha varieties for you to try when you feel like a change of taste.

This is the perfect place to work and enjoy a quality matcha. Alex is amazing!!! He goes out of his way to introduce you to their products and rest of the Soirēe staff. Great work Soirēe!

I still think about this small cafe. I went in the evening and the vibe is pure cafe culture. Low tones and unique French/Japanese inspired drinks. I went for a coffee/hot chocolate, but they had alcoholic drinks as well. It's open from 8 AM - 10 PM! Such a range. I had the hojicha hot chocolate- which is delicious. The barista was great too, adding more marshmallows for my drink. Would love to come back here again for the emmaculate vibes.

Drinks 4.5/5 (gotta know what to get) Ambience 4/5 (a little too tiny but cute & cozy) Such a cute cafe and idea to have both cafe drinks and alcoholic drinks! It's such a cute and cozy place to hang around but it is quite small with limited seating. And I love places with unique drink options and they def have that here! Chaplin Charlie 5/5: recommended by the bartender and it was an amazing reco for someone that likes something sour/ tart. Almost like a sour starburst Jasmine martini 2/5: sounds great and all but kinda just taste like alcoholic tea - this was quite bland Soiree spritz 3.5/5: kinda tasted watered down so not too big of a fan Espresso martini 5/5: strong and tasty - packs a punch And love that you get a free shot when you get a cocktail!!

I cannot give enough kudos to Thē Soirēe. Once again, they came through with a unique beverage and an ambiance that is relaxing and welcoming. The service is award winning and the artistry that is created is impressive. Once again, I ordered my favorite...the Kinmokusei Latte. I appreciate how it was served with an optimal temperature and it was delightfully enjoyed. If you would prefer an alcoholic libation, Soirēe will gladly oblige. The same goes with sweets and pastries. They've managed to cover all of the bases and they do it exceptionally. Thē Soirēe will continue to be my favorite cafe and thank you, Soirēe, for having late closing times on Fridays and Saturdays, in order to enjoy an after theater treat.

Perfect iced mocha! Randomly walked in here because it's right next to the laundry and it was quick service and delicious drinks. Matcha was also yummy! There's limited seating inside but it's warm and cozy.

This is the perfect spot to start your day! They have a ton of different matcha options that caught my eye right away. The barista helped me choose a matcha based on my preferences. He recommended the ceremonial uji iced matcha latte which was so smooth and a little earthy. He also added in the sweetener for me which I really appreciated! They also have sweetener on the side to match your preference but mine was great the way it was. Also had the kinder croissant which satisfied my sweet craving. Love the vibes inside. Pretty small but didn't feel crowded which is nice to find in nyc. They do cocktails at night so I will be coming back for more matcha and cocktails!

Great spot for matcha! They have many different types of matcha and other fun lattes, like an ube and chai latte! The place is small, but if you can get a table it is very cozy! The staff is also very friendly!

Seemingly new cafe that also has cocktails available. My latte had osmanthus in it and although subtle I felt I could taste the sweet floral taste in my latte. They also seemingly have a variety of matcha and cocktails available and are open late. The cafe had jazz music playing and had great mood lighting with intimate seating perfect for a first date or pre-dinner cocktail.

This cafe and its drinks are so cute and beautifully crafted -- just look at the latte art! My only complaint is that the drinks are on the pricey side and as such, I wish my hot chocolate was a bit richer in taste.

Nicest barista and first place I've seen that used REAL pumpkin for a pumpkin spice latte. A bit pricey but worth it for the A+ experience and coffee / tea. They specialize in teas too! I will definitely come back to try the everything croissant or kinder croissant.

Cozy cafe serving pasties, coffee and cocktails. Quite a gem on bustling 9th ave with all the pubs, bars and restaurants. Came for cocktails in the evening: jazz on the speakers, warm and sweet date spot.

A friend recommended this place and we decided to drop in. I ordered the Kinmokusei Latte which was super yummy and a little bit floral. They use oat milk as their default--which I love--and they don't sweeten your drinks for you. I love that you can taste the true notes of your drink before adding sugar. There is a small bar off to the side where you can add sweetener.

We've walked by this shop a few times, and given how pretty it is inside, knew we had to stop by. There's a decent amount of seating, so definitely a good place to grab a coffee with friends. We came on a weekday morning and there were plenty of tables open; not sure how the rush is on a weekend. The actual drinks were just ok unfortunately. The matcha latte wasn't very strong in matcha flavor, and was definitely overwhelmed by the milk. I got a osmanthus flavored latte, and I actually enjoyed the osmanthus flavor at first. However, by the end, the flavor is a bit too much, and detracts from the coffee itself. It's also quite a large latte, so again a bit on the milkier side. If you want a nice place to relax, definitely recommend!

My friend told me a new French and Japanese inspired cafe opened up near her so I stopped by last Sunday morning for a quick coffee and pastry. I wasn't expecting much but the unique menu items and mouth-watering pastry options made me more hopeful. Also, for all our dairy-free folks, oat milk is their default milk option for their drinks. SAINT-TROPEZ LATTE - 8 Earl grey tea, lavender syrup/flavoring with espresso shots. I enjoyed this drink because it wasn't too sweet. The tea flavor was strong and it was a good combination with the lavender, which was subtle. Overall, solid drink option (especially as an iced drink on a warm morning) but it is a bit $$, haha. ALMOND CROISSANT (ORANGE FLAVOR) - 6.99 Steep price for a croissant, but it hit the spot this morning. The citrusy flavor of the orange shined through the buttery and perfectly flaky croissant. It is pricier than most pastries I've gotten in NYC but worth a shot if you want to try something new. You really can walk around NYC, walk into somewhere convenient and it's likely a good one. The Soirée is definitely a gem in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood that I would recommend you checking out for their drinks and food. The only caveat is that the pricing is a bit steep (even for NYC).

Cute little cafe, though the "The" part of the name is a bit of a misnomer, as there aren't a ton of tea-based creations. That said, the Purple Yuzu Icecap is a refreshing albeit slightly bitter beverage for sweaty days, while the Rosy Matcha Bliss will take you to green, creamy heaven. The almond croissant is quite tasty too, though it lacks the orange flavor that is mentioned in the sign.

So my friend and I were craving for a tasty matcha latte and this place did NOT disappoint- truly outstanding! A lovely ambience of Japanese and French. Beautifully decorated. Actually was looking at the menu outside and was greeted by the friendly owner, who told us about the 1/2 price pastries since it was abt 5pm, and that their drink ingredients being all organic. We were greeted by a patient server who definitely took pride in her tea & coffee. Both drinks we got were outstanding! See pics & details

One of the better matcha lattes I have ever had! Ended up here out of connivence and am so glad I did. My friend and I keep saying how great it was. Would be worth a trip back to this area even though we don't live here or go here often. It was a small space so not ideal for sitting and working on a laptop. More so sitting with someone to talk for a little or read on your own. Best to grab and go! Service was super friendly. Not super speedy but they take great care on each order so totally worth it.

Obsessed with this spot!! The cocktails here are on point and Kai's the guy (the jasmine martini is fiiiiree). Such a cute spot with an intimate feeling perfect for a date night or small group of friends.

One of the best matchas I've had in the area. It was perfectly prepared and had a good milk to matcha ratio. The cafe is cozy and very cute; the barista was friendly. They had some pastries too, which I plan to try next time. A good addition to HK for sure!

I thought the coffee here was delicious (I had one of the seasonal ginger molasses cookie flavored lattes). But damn, it was $9. Service was good, attentive. Space is nice. No one else was in there for most of the time I was there with a friend, so it was a nice place to sit and chat. But yikes, it was $20 for the two of us to have coffee. I'd have got a pastry, but I'm not really looking to shell out $40 first thing in the morning.

Expensive. Got one earl grey latte and it was $9.25. Was it great? Yes. Was I a bit shocked by the pricing? Also yes. Interior is adorable though, definitely get it in store and sit for a bit. Art is gorgeous and for sale!

Cute place with lots of matcha and coffee drinks that look interesting. Jazz music in the background is a nice touch. Not a ton of seats, small place.

This fairly new peaceful Japanese & French inspired cafe in Hell's Kitchen is now my top 3 places in the city to get matcha. They use high quality, organic powders and teas imported from Japan with a default oat milk option with no extra charge (!) All drinks come unsweetened to allow the authentic flavors to shine but they do have sweeteners on the side if preferred. The menu includes lots of interesting options that l'll slowly make my way through, definitely be back for their work-in-progress cocktails coming in the summer! Featured: kinmokusei (osmanthus) matcha latte

This delightful addition to Hell's Kitchen is my new favorite coffee shop! The iced cappuccino with oat milk has a lovely hint of chocolate even with not chocolate added! I've never talked about coffee like I'm talking about wine, but I guess sitting in a French and Japanese-inspired cafe will make you do that! Also, try the Saint-Tropez latte and the bombalone! Oh, what European flour can do to a doughnut! haha

The coffee I got here was good, and the service was great. I do have to say, though, that the coffee is pretty overpriced. The ambiance is nice inside and I saw some people working.

I came here on Sunday for some tea and coffee with my family. This place is small yet and intimate. The service is friendly and prompt. It is quite tiny, so there is not a lot of room to sit down. if you're taking out, this is a quaint little spot to come to.

Finally had a chance to stop by this relatively new coffee shop! Really cute interior and decor. It has a very original and eclectic menu; not a typical coffee shop. Matcha latte was amazing! The staff was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The pastries looked delicious; will definitely be trying those next time I go!

a little pricey ($8.71 after tax for a hojicha latte), but that's nyc for you -- one of the better tea lattes in the city. hojicha felt authentic and true to what was advertised, not watered down or diluted like tea lattes are sometimes. limited seating overall but it's a great grab and go place.

This is an excellent peaceful place to take a test and enjoy a coffee. I love organic ingredients that they are using. Especially, I love the oat milk they used, smooth and taste great for a latte. I tried their tea last month, which was a really good Japanese tea they imported. I love that too! I would revisit more frequently over the weekend!

French meets Japanese coffee. It's a great cafe with some of the best coffee I've ever had. All the drinks are organic coffee with oat milk by default at no extra charge (which is great if you're lactose). They have a number of interesting flavors with different French flowers and worth going back a few times to try them all. One of my favorites is the Kinmokusei Matcha Latte.

Meh. Was expecting more. The menu looks/sounds great but the execution just wasn't there for me. I can only speak for the lavender latte (forgot the name) as that is what I got. The coffee itself was good but it barely tasted like lavender and for the price point of $9 it just wasn't worth it to me and left me disappointed and wishing I just got an oat latte. I also didn't like that they charged extra for it being iced...? It's already so much so really annoyed me. However, I liked that the drinks come sugar free and you are able to sweeten it however much you'd like and with whatever you want (they had simple syrups with cane sugar, honey and brown sugar and then alternative sugars as well!) I also loved the space- it was gorgeous. I would come back and try a matcha since others have mentioned that they make a good one but will probably skip the coffee from here, especially with so many other options.

The short version is this place was amazing. The young lady making the drinks was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely patient. In the five minutes that I interacted with the owners, they seemed genial and the drinks I got were the delicious. If you want a more in depth review, please keep reading. My friend and I randomly stumbled upon this place while adventuring in NYC city and today and this place did not disappoint. When we were checking out the menu outside, two people happen to walk out of the store and saw us standing there. They informed us that all pastries were half off since it was after 5:00. Figuring they knew the cafe well, we asked them if place was good, only to find out they were the owner. After this interaction, we definitely had to go in. First I would like to say service was wonderful. The young lady behind the counter was patient and gave very detailed answers to any questions that we had. She carefully explained to us that in a lot of their drinks they used many different flower essential oils in their drinks, like osmanthus and lavender, how all of their drinks are made with oat milk but can be swapped out for milk, and that all their drinks tend to be unsweetened and have a natural earthy flavor. She highly recommended the Kinmokusei matcha latte with osmanthus in the drink, and I would have totally gotten it but it was only made hot and I really wanted a cold drink. I ended up getting the matcha latte made with milk which I really loved. My friend wanted something that wasn't too high in caffeine and was recommended the hojicha and the worker even offered to make it into a latte because that's what my friend wanted. After she finished making the drink she sprayed a little something on it and we were told it was vetiver and give the drink a more woodsy flavor and it totally enhanced the flavor of the hojicha. Finally, since all the drinks were made non sweetened, this place offered five different types of sweetened syrups for those who their drinks to be a little more sweet. All in all, you can tell the owners placed a lot of thought into their cafe and I highly recommend. Ok

Good drinks Small space very little seating Good pasties Wow the everything croissant Good vibes and such friendly staff

everything was meh. the food was nothing special, the ambiance was fine and the service was alright.

service is fast & ambience is lovely. very chill spot with wifi and seating if you want to work. the coffee was rich and strong. oatmilk is their default option so great for those who are dairy free. they don't use any sugars/syrups but have simple syrup on the side if you like. Honestly as someone who always sweetens their coffee, i can confidently say that i didn't feel the need to sweeten my lavender latte. the lavender extract was perfect and the little leaves on top are a nice touch but they can be strong when it gets in ur mouth.

From the moment I walked into The Soirée, I felt like I'd stumbled upon a hidden gem. The coffee was amazing, and the pastries were so good. What really stood out, though, was the cozy vibe of the place. It was like being wrapped in a warm blanket of hospitality. I can't wait to go back for more!

Got a matcha from here and it was nasty. Also I saw that they literally sponsored an "influencer" to come in to write reviews so be wary!!
