Crema's Take
“Le Gaz is a pint-sized Lower East Side gem that punches well above its weight, blending serious coffee craftsmanship with a quirky, cozy personality that feels both intimate and effortlessly cool. Their Vietnamese coffees pack an impressive caffeine punch and showcase real skill with traditional techniques, while they've also earned a reputation for nailing notoriously tricky drinks like the cortado and experimenting with creative signatures like their honey sesame latte. This is the kind of place where you'll want to linger over a pastry, soak in the vibey, streetwear-inflected atmosphere, and strike up a conversation—though fair warning that the baristas might be doing the same with their friends behind the counter.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.

I’m giving this places four stars because I was not aware of the caffeine content in Vietnamese coffee. I drink 2-3 double shots a day and came here to get their Vietnamese iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. It’s 8 hours later and I still feel wired. Great vibe, great…
Cutest coffee shop in the LES, next to a Persian-inspired shop. Gorgeous interior and one of the few places that gets the cortado right.
Vibey cafe + streetwear store combo - we shared the honey sesame latte which I personally wouldn’t recommend (sesame flavor is too strong) but I definitely want to come back to try one of the signatures. The decor inside is well thought out and there’s additional seating in the…
Le Gaz is the cutest, quirkiest little coffee shop — tiny in size but big in personality! I loved the cozy, corky vibe the moment I walked in. Despite its small footprint, the space feels welcoming, warm, and full of charm. Their matcha and coffee were both excellent — smooth,…
