Crema's Take

Tucked away in a quiet spot near the park, this intimate Thai dessert and coffee café brings authentic Southeast Asian flavors to NYC with standout drinks like their fragrant Thai tea lattes (available with oat milk) and the beloved Nom Yen pink milk, paired with buttery kaya toast and creative treats like Thai tea banana pudding. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make it feel like a genuine neighborhood discovery rather than just another coffee shop, perfect for lingering over something sweet or grabbing a pick-me-up while exploring the area.

Note- Shorter review than most that I do, as I only ordered 1 thing as a snack/drink. I went here a good while back to this small Thai dessert and coffee cafe for a bit of a pick-me-up while walking. Meaning "deliciously blended," they offer a small selection of Thai-inspired beverages, including tea and coffee, along with a handful of desserts, such as toasts and ice cream. The staff was friendly, and the place inside, while small, seems like a nice place to work, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. I went with the Signature Blend Thai Tea Latte, available hot or iced, with the usual coffee/tea sizes: 8 to 12 oz for hot and 12 to 16 oz for the large. I went with iced, and it was $7 or $7.50 depending on size, and I went with the latter. It was very tasty, with the tea flavor shining through, unlike most variants. It wasn't overly sweet from the various milks, with enough spices to make it distinctly the Thai version of this drink. For the same price point, you can also order it hot, without milk, or mixed with lemonade, along with an oat option for an extra dollar. This is a tasty little specialty shop. I would go back here and try the pandan toast or another drink.

Nuar NYC understood the assignment If you're looking for a cozy Thai dessert café in NYC, you need to check out @nuarnyc = We tried: Nom Yen (Thai pink milk) - sweet, milky, refreshing, and not too heavy. Iced S'mores - rich chocolate, topped with mini marshmallows + crunch, dessert in a cup. Pork floss & ham sandwich — soft bread with savory filling (perfect to balance the sweet drinks!) Kaya Toast — soft toast with sweet kaya spread (perfect scoop with every bite!) Overall: warm cozy vibe, photogenic drinks, and everything tastes well-balanced. 10/10 would come back. Save this spot!

Was craving a sweet treat and stumbled upon this place. It's a cute little place near the park in the middle of the block. Easy to miss so just look for the park. The guy that worked there was so friendly and helpful really enjoyed our interaction and he made me feel appreciated for patronizing the business. I got the chestnut thai tea and the strawberry thai banana pudding everything was amazing. Would definitely return.

The best Thai tea latte—with oat milk!! Rejoice lactose intolerant bbs. A sweet sweet treat for us :’) the Kaya toast is also yum! The Thai tea banana pudding is so good. It’s like a cup of cream, good to share for two. The mango sticky rice with ice cream was also very delicious. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!!

Delicious! Their Thai tea is much more fragrant in both smell and flavor than what I am used to, and it’s also not as sweet. The kaya toast had a great texture and I personally found the pandan jam to be a little too sweet, but my partner thought it was great. Cute spot, would definitely come back again.
