Kafe Neo

"In my opinion as an aspiring coffee snob, this place has the best coffee on the UES. Better than Green Lane, better than Frame, better than Mellow Yellow. Also baristas are nice and well trained and the vibe is low key and pleasant. Essentially no seating indoors though there’s a covered outdoor seating area that maybe they share with the restaurant next door?"

"Great coffee. Limited baked goods, and everything sells out quickly. There is no seating, more of an order and pick up type place. They also always have a jar of free dog treats, which my dog loves when I get my lattes!"

"New option on 89th if you want to be totally nickel and dimed. 2 stars since the cold brew is fairly good, but I was shocked to be charged an additional 25 cents on my drink for the barista to add the tiniest drop of oat milk to my coffee - this on top of a plain drink that already costs over $5. There’s far better coffee in the area at places like Variety that leave the milk bottles out and don’t try to gouge you."

"Wonderful staff and coffee selections. However, the Frappé I ordered wasn’t how a frappe should be. It was all foam and no drinkable coffee at first so I politely asked for extra water, and this is my frappé now. I know that frappés are supposed to be foamy but the ratio of foam to liquid is opposite of what a good frappé is. I’ll definitely come back and try it again, I’m sure it was just a fluke since I saw someone else earlier today with the perfect looking frappé from here. I’m super happy I finally have a place to buy Frappé again because I know not many places on the city offer it."

"It’s pretty clear that Kafe Neo knows what it intends and is good at being just that; an excellent coffee shop with good breakfast pastries, no blender in site. Simple, clean space and wonderful people."
