Crema's Take
“Café Hatou's baristas craft exceptionally clean pour-overs and cappuccinos with the kind of care that makes you slow down, and the thoughtfully curated music and decor create a rare pocket of calm in Midtown Manhattan. Their signature specialty drinks—like the yuzu honey tea that one barista spontaneously prepared for a coughing regular—show a staff that genuinely pays attention, and the green tea roll cake and cheese danish are legitimately excellent. Skip the crowded chains near 72nd and 3rd and spend twenty minutes here instead.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Fantastic! Don't miss this little gem of a place. Hidden at the entrance to the subway at 72nd and 3rd. Northeast corner. Excellent and carefully prepared pour over. In my case a very nice Ethiopian coffee. Fresh and clean with a lively palette with hints of blueberry.…

Been here over 5 times! Baristas are so kind here, absolutely love the specialty drinks, and the atmosphere is so nice. When I was coughing a lot, the barista brought me a warm yuzu honey drink and it truly made my day 🥺
Cafe Hatou serves excellent specialty coffee and stays surprisingly quiet for Midtown. The music and decor are very intentional. Great place to savor your coffee.
