Crema's Take
“Frisson pulls off that rare trick of being both a serious espresso destination and a genuinely welcoming spot to camp out for hours, with baristas who execute milk-based drinks with real precision and care. The vibe is casual enough that you won't feel rushed, yet everything from the coffee to the pastries and creative drinks like their cinnamon-almond cappuccino suggests they're thinking carefully about every element. If you want excellent specialty coffee without the pretension, this is exactly the kind of neighborhood shop worth planning a visit around.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks, matcha and tea options too. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

I love this spot. I was just visiting NYC and found this spot around the corner from the airbnb I was at. Perfectly located for me and I got my mocha here every day because it was so good (hot and iced - consistent taste). The cool guy with dreads makes it the best 👌 (in my…
