Café M

The interior design of this place is super cute, and they have great coffee. I have yet to try any dessert here though. The little bench they have there is a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs a good cup of joe.

Are you kidding? I asked for an iced latte ($ 4.50) and they gave me 3 inches of milk and iced coffee. 4.50? dollars!!! An iced coffee with milk was the same and I would have spent $ 2.
This is NOT an iced latte. You are THIEVES!

I can’t believe the hype people put into this place, make it fancy and colorful and sell for a high price. I heard many people say this was a great place and I had to try it myself.
I was extremely disappointed with it, it is just cake… That’s what all the cakes taste like, just cake, I thought I would feel younger and it would cure my sicknesses, but it is just cake. Of course, there is more direct why of explaining it, but I rather just say cake.
I didn’t like the overall taste, I ate the chocolate and green tea cakes, and it wasn’t worth how much it cost. I would only come here if someone wanted to go, but other then that, I would never come back for «cake»… It is just one of those places that built such a name that everyone goes to it.

Great little café with amazing looking desserts, incredibly friendly staff who are ready to help you at any time. The cappuccinos are great and they offer soy and almond milk if you have an allergy.

After walking in, you expect this place to be better than what it is. The enormous array of small dainty pastries, coloful lined macarons, individually wrapped little cookies, the wood furniture, the charm and allure of a small homey Italian café with «La Colombe» posted everywhere, a chic name like «Café M Studio» and of course, the lovely line of ladies who take your order. The manager in the morning is also a very friendly man, always smiling and greets all his customers with warm hospitality.
If you need a place to have morning treats w/​your coffee, then this place is 4star caliber, but strictly coffee speaking, I don’t believe some of the baristas are trained properly when artfully crafting the drinks. My first cappuccino was unmemorable, and the latte I had a while back was okay. My recent macchiato a few days ago was actually pretty good and very sharp but it was served with milk foam instead of being stained with steamed milk. Also, they have a Coffee of the Day, which can be good sometimes depending on your origin & roast level preferences.
This place is more of a petite bakery than a coffeshop.

I’ve been going to this place for a year or so. Sadly today’s experience really made me decide to not go back in the future.
The food, coffee/​tea, and pastries are all pretty good. The fault is with the staff. I ordered a green tea latte then received a latte. The older counter lady started telling me no I didn’t and I had to tell her twice that I did order a green tea latte. Her attitude was very combative.
I just don’t want to deal with this attitude again. Hopefully the employees’ attitude will improve as well as their English.

My office just cleaned out this little café so I’m sorry for anyone that reads this review today and wants to immediately go and order a sandwich.
An adorable little shop, definitely a calming place to brave the storm (literally, the rain was bad today guys) but they have little to no seating so be warned that you won’t be here for long. Rows of cookies, sandwiches, and pastries fill up this little shop and it’s very inviting!
The sandwiches are delcious – the grilled chicken with gouda was particularly good. The bread is soft and fresh. A great place to grab a bite!

What a bad experience tonight at Café M! I have never writtwn a review and i think that ibhave to make some justice! The male sales person literally pushed us out of the door. It is my husband’s birthday today, and we wanted to pick up a few cakes on the way home. The door was still open at 7:30pm, and so we walked in. The guy looked annoyed when he saw us. We picked out 3 mini cakes, and he tried to stuff everything in a bag that would only fit 2. We asked him to give us a separate bag. Again, he was annoyed to the point that he «placed» my cakes very hard on the counter. We told him if he doesn’t want customers after store hours, he should have locked the door. We said to him once we are in, we are expected to be treated as customers!!! We really felt that we were not welcomed at all. At this point, the guy literally used his hand to push my husband out the store!!! I just think that they should not treat customers like this even thought it’s around their closing time.

I came here looking for a quick gift. Having never met the person I was gifting to, I was having a hard time deciding. The staff was extremely helpful with catering to my needs. He helped me pick out a good combination of macaroons, some good for adults’ palates and some kid-​friendly flavors. I tried the green tea and hazelnut macaroons. They’re really good! Not too sweet, not bland. The macaroons are have quite generous amounts of filling. The café itself is very cute. Not the best place to sit in to lounge with a cup of coffee. It’s a better place for take-​out. Excited to come back to try their other pastries.

Popped into this place from the Unilocal reviews while looking for a new coffee spot to hit in the area. Great find! The coffee — La Columbia — is good quality. The hot chocolate is obviously made from cocoa powder — nice and dark, not too sweet. I got a triple chocolate cookie, which was delicious. Will definitely be back to try more goodies and drinks. Cute atmosphere as a shop and not a sit down (no laptops here) and the baristas were helpful and sweet.

Such cute curb appeal, I had to stop in. A small shop with so many goodies to take in at once.
I ordered an iced latte and a mini chocolate scone.
While I know lattes typically run around $ 4, most of their pastries also ran from $ 4-​$ 5 and I couldn’t justify spending $ 8+ on a morning snack.
The latte is ordinary. The mini chocolate scone was not dainty, but dense.
They did have a cream cheese almond pastry which sounded delightful, but again refused to spend my lunch budget on breakfast delights.
Would return to try another treat and will edit this review as I try more of their pastries.

Was in need of some sweets and decided to stop by this place after discovering it on Unilocal.They had a decent selection of Macaroons to choose from, included pre-​packaged variety packs. The pricing is high, as is common for specialty desserts of this nature. I believe there was some seating at this location too, for up to 6 people max. I would stop by again for their cookie deal because it was very enticing! Staff was very kind which was an added plus.

Got coffee and a chocolate chip cookie on a cold day. Coffee was good enough. Nice little shop with friendly service. There’s a bench in there too that you can sit on.

Found this place just walking around. I was looking for a small cake for my boyfriend’s birthday. I found a nice chocolate cake mousse cake here. They also gave me a candle instead of making me buy an entire pack which was really nice of them. Took the cake to go. My boyfriend loved it and it was very delicious. The bakery was very clean and nicely decorated. Nice place to grab a hot chocolate and something a little sweet :)

My mistake, the cookie sandwich was the proper price, though they might have added tax to both.
Also, the pâté sandwich is delicious and worth the 8.95

Location: Café M is but at the main spot of Korean town, that is to say, you have to walk a little bit further on 33h street and you will see a small sign, waving to you — welcome to Café M. When I first stepped into the store, I was happy because although the store is small, the decoration is well-​designed. Left side is for sweet treat and right side is for savory treat. Not a little table in the café but you do have a spot to sit comfortably.
Macaron: they are famous for their macaron? I do not. I saw they have small cream puffs (2.95/one), small cakes (8/​one) and macarons (2.65/one)
I had strawberry, green tea, caramel and vanilla. Average. I am not a fan of macaron after all but this place does not change my opinion toward macaron. I guess, they are just average to me.
Service: I did take out. No specific service related with my own experience but I was greeted warmly by their staff when I first came to the store. So, I would predict that it is a good service experience?
Overall: 3.5. Little bit pricy oh no. NYC is crazy.

I walk by this neighborhood all the time and this place never really caught my eye. It wasn’t until a friend and I wanted a small dessert that we discovered this place.
The first thing that greets you once you step foot inside is the wonderful aromas of whatever is brewing. I didn’t get a drink this time but may consider it the next time I’m here.
We came for a light dessert and settled with the macarons. Their pastry selection was a little on the steep end, but is about right for the neighborhood it’s in. The chocolate espresso macaron was great– not too heavy on either flavor and was my favorite. The strawberry one was too sweet, especially with the filling. I probably won’t be back for macarons but the rest of what they had to offer looked decent.
I’m not dying to come back here but wouldn’t mind giving this place another try.

Why would you put signs for one box of chocolate on another box of chocolate and then when I order the first one charge me for the second one? The pretty girl with blond hair is painfully slow and not fluent in English., which I don’t have time for today. It took 10 minutes to get what I needed and then she told me one price when it was marked as another… Ugh save yourself and go to «Besfren» next door for cute little somethings

*** REVIEW BASED OFF OF ICED COFFEE ***
their iced coffee was good… but they don’t have any flavors! :(:(
my boyfriend added some sugar and tried to improve it but it wasn’t what we were expecting or really craving. I’m sure other people enjoy their iced coffee but we were just looking for some flavor.
Great service though! Everyone was very friendly

–green tea tropical
–pistachio bread
The iced green tea was good. It comes unsweetened, but you can add syrups, sugar or sweetener at the counter. I found the pistachio bread to be really dense and oily. The slices were thick, so one piece could easily be shared. Would return.

Place is super adorable. A++ on décor.
I got a vanilla cake & it was $ 8, single serving size. well I think it is. I ate the whole thing. Anyways, good flavors. It tasted like fresh buttercream & melted in my mouth. It was a harder consistency than expected but it worked well with the frosting.
Got a cold brew & they have agave sweetener & almond milk! My god do you know how many places up charge you or do not have either of these?! Kudos for that!

Stopped by on the way out of the Empire State Building just wanting some coffee but got an excellent and rich latte and the best macarons I’ve ever had. My favorite flavor was the pistachio and chocolate with the champagne being a strong runner up.
The interior was cutesy without being overbearing, and the staff answered all questions without acting as if they were a bother.

Came here to grab a quick breakfast before work. I settled for the ham and egg croissant. It wasn’t bad and I asked for it to be heated up. A bit of the flaky side. I look forward to coming back in the future to try their columbe coffee and macaroons.

Café M is very nice and has the best staff ever. The people there are always nice and friendly. One of my favorite places to get macaroons when i am in New York and do not want to hike all the way up to Larudee. On my most recent trip, I went and had gotten around 10 dozen boxes of Macaroons to bring back for friends and family at home. I think I cleared the glass case of all the macaroons, but the staff was nice about it and was friendly.
I really like that they actually have nice macaroons that are individually designed in prepackaged boxes if you want those kinds too. They also have very delicious coffee that would always be my first stop the morning after I arrived in New York as well as My last stop in new york, for the drive home back to boston.
Ultimately, one of my favorite places to go.

I love Café M for 2 important reasons: it’s a very cute little coffee shop, very well decorated, so peaceful. I seat on a bunch and relax whil waiting for my order.
The second reason is their homemade ginger tea. It is sooooo good! I cna’t help stopping by and ordering one.
Those little things that make my day in NYC

During lunch on a beautiful day I wandered around my work area to see if there were places to try out and long and behold I came upon Café M. I saw the beautiful display of macaroons but I wasn’t hungry for a dessert. There were some selections of breads and other snacks but the Mocha Latte caught my attention since I was thirsty from the weather. I ordered a Iced Mocha Latte and it came up to about $ 5.39? It was a regular sized plastic cup. Too bad I forgot to snap a quick picture of it! It wasn’t as sweet as I thought it should be and I didn’t want to add any sugar since I hate crunching on it. I left it as is but only finished half. I guess I wasn’t a fan. It had a strong mocha powder flavor.
Next time I’ll try the snacks and macaroons if I’m in the mood. The place was really cute and the cashier older lady was very nice.
