Crema's Take
“The Lost Draft is a spacious, light-filled SoHo haven where creative specialty lattes like sesame and osmanthus take center stage, though execution can be inconsistent—some customers rave about the earthy, caramelized flavors while others find the delicate florals get lost in translation. The real draw is the warm, unhurried atmosphere and genuinely kind staff who create a genuine sense of hospitality, making it an ideal spot whether you're meeting a friend, settling in with your laptop, or just seeking a cozy place to decompress with excellent natural light and reliable AC.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

I’ve been searching for a sesame latte to top the black sesame latte from Tadaima, and the Lost Draft now has my second favorite. The sesame is wonderfully blended and adds an earthy, caramelized flavor to the latte. This is also a great place to work, having good WiFi,…
Stopped by The Lost Draft for an Osmanthus latte - it was smooth but too mild to really catch the osmanthus flavor. The café has a warm, earthy vibe with plenty of seating. It’s a cozy spot to unwind or get some work done.
I’ve been frequenting this place for about a year. This is my go-to spot to relax or study when I’m in the SoHo area. Spacious, bright, and lively. They have strong A/C, a lot of natural light, plenty of seating, and is quite spacious. Even when it’s busy and packed, it doesn’t…
