A Little Taste

I am a fan. their drip coffee and lattes are great; mocha is sweet for my taste. Friendly staff. Cute space. Don’t go here though if you’re looking for a place to hang out. Good coffee, the you go in and out.

usually a line for coffee but it goes quickly
delicious coffee within the flower district

Positively lovely latte. Delicious with perfect foam that I keep tasting with its abundant flavor. Wish there was more seating as this is the kind of coffee I want to linger over and appreciate… Alas, I’ll get it to go and linger elsewhere. Pricey, but quality stuff.

One of the best espressos I’ve ever tried. Tiny hidden coffee gem. Food looks tiny as well:) i’d go for coffee only

Overall: best latte I had in NYC so far. I recently became a coffee drinker and I tried some places and they were too sweet for me. This café’s latte was amazing!
Things I liked other than the coffee:
— Interior design: petite, rustic, and homey feel
Things I thought were meh:
— A line outside the store with a wait of about 5 – 6 min to order, which isn’t bad when you have time and considering the coffee taste
— Location where if only I’m around 28^th St and want coffee I would go (so if you’re mostly on 28^th St, this aspect wouldn’t be a meh for you)
— Not a place to hang out. A place to order coffee (and see pillows in the back).
— Service where you just order, give money, and get your drink

The best coffee I’ve had in a long time. First of all when you order and iced beverage this place does it right, the ice cubes are frozen coffee so whatever you have isn’t watered down. Why all coffee shops don’t do this is beyond me. The service is fast and friendly, cute little Shop and the coffee is the best I’ve had so far. Wish it was in a better location, be ready to fight through a jungle of plans because it’s like smack in the middle of all these wholesale flower shops.

Pas super agréable et j’ai goûté que le cookie qui était un peu trop cuit sur le bord

Cute little coffee spot with OK coffee and 10 gazillion dollar pillows and other stuff for sale in the back.

How people go to Starbucks a half a block away is beyond me. This is the BEST coffee place in NYC. I accidentally stumbled upon it, because it’s sort of hidden if you don’t know about it. All I can say is visit this place if you want THE BEST.

The absolute best coffee I had ever had. Both the cappuccino and latte were outstanding. You can taste the espresso in the cappuccino. The foam is thick and creamy, even thoigh its almond milk! Im highly impressed. Though it takes a while to get your coffee its well worth the wait. And in the mean time their baked goods are also fabulous. The pistachio bread is moist and not too sweet, the ham and cheese croissant is like having a quiche loiraine in pastry form, so yummy. The currant scone is also super yummy!!!
The place is tiny but the décor is really nice.

A great little place! Their coffee is great, and their croissants/​almond croissants/​chocolate croissants are awesome — my French coworkers all affirmed that these are «real» croissants, as good as they are in France!

Appropriately named, this spot boasts a pastry selection better than most.

Popped in here today at the recommendation of the front desk at the Indigo across the street where I was staying. Really glad I did. Cute little coffee bar with friendly staff and very good coffee. I had a flat white and it really did have a buttery velvety texture to it. Would definitely come here all the time if I lived nearby.

Literally the best iced coffee I’ve ever had. PLUS the ice cubes were made out of coffee.
BUT it costs $ 5, whoa. That’s basically the price of a latte anywhere else.
I would go out of my way to come here for the iced coffee IF it was at a lower price point.

5 stars for the coffee!
Beautiful space, small with just enough countertop space to sip an espresso.

This place is the best! Great coffee and such a friendly staff.
Not much sitting space, but it’s a perfect stop for a quick expresso, or a coffee to-​go. There are a couple stools though if you can snag one!
The regular coffee is great and not too expensive. Now that it’s been warmer I’ve been getting the iced coffee (with coffee ice cubes!). The treats from Ovenly are delicious and you can not go wrong with any of them. Highly recommend this place, wish there were one on the UWS, because I would go every weekend!

Hands down best coffee I’ve had. The almond croissant hit the spot top. The whole place just has a vintage feel to it, love it.
I wish this place was a bit closer to my job, id get breakfast everyday here. ⁵⁄₅

Truly authentic place with THE BEST coffee in NYC.
I’m so lucky to work in the neighborhood. I have my daily ritual — to have a one cappuccino in A Little Taste. Yes, it is expensive BUT worth every cent. And to be honest, the cappuccino price in the area (Panera/​Pret/​Starbucks) is more or less the same — around $ 4. So if you are willing to pay $ 4/​cup, please spend your money here, and get the most delicious cappuccino ever.
On top of the coffee quality, you always get a friendly barista and a variety of healthy pastries. And also my favorite — small vases stuffed with the fresh flowers. Every week new color and style. For $ 10 each.

Beautiful elegant interior, high quality espresso, friendly staff, and they sell Ovenly baked goods, which I love.

Five stars for the peanut butter cookie, six stars for the coffee. More words to make this a review and fool the Unilocal bots.

Yep much much needed in this neighborhood! This place is so charming I
am personally obsessed with the tiles and the rustic feel.
And the barista who served me knew of one of my other hidden gem favorites — little Collins and was super nice to boot.
And this place smells amazing — the coffee smell that all good places need to have.
Equally important my iced americano was expertly made and the jazz in the background was super chill and soothing. Also this place has a/​c but wins points in my book because they don’t blast you out with it.
There’s pastries here but no lunch options but to me this seems trivial.

Gehört auf jeden Fall zu den TOP-​Kaffee Adressen in New York. Denn, wie viele wissen, ist Amerika nicht das Eldorado der Kaffee-​Genießer.
Einstweilen tut’s schon mal ein Starbucks (was auch schon in den USA unter top-​Kaffee anzusiedeln ist).
Aber wer einen wirklich guten Kaffee trinken möchte, so wie ihn der Barista meines Vertrauens in München macht, der ist hier richtig.
Leider ist der Laden sehr klein und von daher leicht zu übersehen. Aber zwei Dinge helfen: es ist KEIN Blumenladen (hiervon gibt’s in dieser Straße recht viele), sondern er ist an so eine Art Stoffgeschäft angeschlossen (allerdings mit eigenem Eingang).
Aufgrund der Gegebenheiten hat der Laden nur 3 Sitzgelegenheiten (auf Barhockern) und kein so großes Frühstücksangebot (Croissants, Cookies, Granola und solche Dinge).
Aber allein der Kaffee und die nette Dame an der Maschine treibt einen schon wieder hierher.
