UNIQLO COFFEE 5th Avenue

Having seen Uniqlo Coffee a few months back, I wanted to give it a go, but I never got the chance to until today. It is somewhat hidden, as it is on the second floor. You almost want to take the prevalent escalator up to the third floor, but I suggest you go to the left and walk up to the second floor. It is behind the embroidery station. The space was well designed; it is compact but has everything. The seating consists of seats arranged around two large poles. I will say it was annoying because people who were not customers or drinking anything were sitting there to rest, so we could not find a seat until later. Though I do believe in free seating, there should be a rule that coffee customers get priority seating or something similar. My friend and I both ordered the Americano, mine hot and his cold. The barista taking our order at first seemed like they did not care, but it turned out they were just chill with a low voice; they even cracked a joke, and did their job well. The taste of the coffee was great. It tasted nutty when I drank my hot Americano, but my friend’s iced Americano tasted nutty then tart at the end. Then when I drank mine, I tasted a bit of tartness too. Regardless, we both enjoyed our coffee. There is a bathroom in Uniqlo(!!!), but the line is ridiculously long, so do not expect to use it right away. I gave up trying to use it. Though I do not think I would go out of my way to come back just to drink something, I think it is a great environment for people who are waiting for their partner or friends to shop. When that does happen, I would like to try their matcha or teas.

I finally got to try Uniqlo’s first ever coffee shop in North America. I happened to be shopping near Fifth Avenue and remembered to stop by Uniqlo. This location is quite large and I got a bit lost at first. The escalator took me straight to the third floor but their coffee shop is located on the 2nd floor. I would recommend taking the stairs instead. The coffee shop is located near the graphic t-shirt section and by the self checkout area. They have a small menu of drinks (coffee, lattes, cold brew, caffeinated drinks, water and juice) but alas no pastries. There are some café tables and seating—great for those to hang out while waiting for their significant other to finish shopping. I got a large Iced Hojicha Latte ($8). My first impression was very positive. The drink was refreshing, earthy, and nutty. Not as strong and bitter as matcha which I appreciated. I really enjoyed sipping my drink in this quiet area of the store while perusing my phone. I do hope they eventually add a small selection of pastries to pair with the drinks.

I tried the hojicha latte, it’s quite good!! But they have very limited seat around. The cashier is very nice

Also secret menus, such as Hojicha, nutty, smoky, deeper taste, you Really should try if you like Matcha

pretty great coffee actually. ordered ice oat latte and oat matcha. latte was great, matcha was a bit bland. super friendly staff, and they don't charge extra for alternative milk which is a nice touch

I was surprised that I could drink such delicious coffee at UNIQLO. I especially recommend matcha latte and cafe latte!

Good matcha latte and pretty comfortable seating to chill out.

I just tried some drip coffee it’s very good ! I love this store too right on 5 th ave . Just make sure you take the stairs one flight up for the coffee otherwise the escalator takes you straight to 3 and then you’ll be wandering around trying to find it like me 😆. 💜💜💜💜💜😁 ☕️
