Lamoone
143 Hester St, New York, NY
Crema's Take
“Lamoone is a beloved neighborhood gem run by a warm Thai couple who've mastered the art of Southeast Asian-inflected coffee and their showstopping handmade Basque cheesecakes in inventive flavors like pandan and ube. Beyond the impeccable creamy cheesecake and thoughtfully sourced Asian beans, the real draw is the inviting, calming atmosphere—intimate enough to feel like you're visiting friends, yet vibrant enough to linger for hours. Whether you're after a coconut pandan latte or just a moment of genuine hospitality, this is where specialty coffee meets genuine connection in Lower Manhattan.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

The basque cheesecake here was amazing. The cheesecake was creamy and had extremely authentic flavors. The decorations and flowers on the tables were nice and the atmosphere was also really warm and cozy. A perfect place to spend to do work, rest, or chat!
