It
has
been
awhile
since
my
last
visit.
Nestled
near
SoHo,
its
botanical
atmosphere
adorned
with
festive
halloween
decors
like
pumpkins
and
terrifying
fake
spiders.
*
Pumpkin
Pie
Latte
Its
velvety
foam
was
generously
sprinkled
with
a
delicate
dusting
of
pumpkin
spice,
and
the
first
sip
was
nothing
short
of
a
cinnamon-y
and
gingery
aroma.
I
had
some
really
sweet
pumpkin
spice
lattes
before
but
this
one
was
lightly
sweetened.
A
shot
of
espresso
provided
a
robust
and
slightly
bitter
undertone
to
balance
out
the
pumpkin
purée.
*
Rose
Cardamom
Latte
I
usually
steer
away
from
rose
lattes
as
I’m
afraid
of
the
artificial
aroma
of
rose
syrup,
but
this
rose
cardamom
latte
slapped.
It
combined
espresso
and
milk
with
the
natural
fragrance
of
rose
and
cardamom.
Some
dried
rose
petals
were
added
as
a
garnish
to
make
it
aesthetically
pleasing.

Masala
Chai
Mini
Cupcake

Pumpkin
Spice
Mini
Cupcake
Aww
their
mini
succulent
cupcakes
are
almost
too
cute
to
eat!
These
eye
candies
are
obviously
designed
to
be
appreciated
visually.
The
flavor
of
pumpkin
spice
was
weak,
but
both
the
flavors
and
cupcake
texture
were
better
than
the
masala
chai
one.
FYI
these
spooky
cuties
are
available
from
noon!
*
Pumpkin
Loaf
w/
Spiced
Cream
Cheese
Well…probably
the
most
awful
loaf
I’ve
ever
eaten.
The
second
when
we
cut
the
loaf
with
our
forks,
we
could
literally
feel
the
terribly
dry
and
crumbly
texture.
It
was
so
bad
that
we
told
the
barista
and
he
refunded
us.
I
really
appreciated
their
immediate
remedy,
so
I
will
still
go
back
for
their
high
quality
coffee
but
definitely
not
their
pastries.
---------
The
café
was
small
but
cozy.
Love
the
botanical
design
with
green
plants
and
wood
furnitures
-
a
lovely
coffee
break
from
the
hustle
and
bustle
in
Manhattan.
Plenty
of
pastry
choices
and
beverages
provided.
Seasonal
drinks
are
also
available
so
make
sure
you
check
them
out
(they
have
Pumpkin
Pie
Latte,
Autumn
Spice
Latte
and
Rose
Cardamom
Latte
as
fall
specials!)
*
Flat
White
w/
Oat
Milk
*
Hot
Latte
*
Regular
Coffee
w/
Milk
As
for
the
milk
espresso,
the
mixing
was
good
with
cute
tulip
latte
art.
The
egg
shape
latte
cups
boosted
the
quality
of
a
decent
coffee.
The
taste
of
beans
was
nutty,
which
had
a
great
chemistry
with
milk.
*
Lychee
Black
Tea
Served
with
a
transparent
teapot,
a
little
glass
and
a
wooden
tray.
Refreshing
floral
fragrance
with
subtle
lychee
flavor.
