Crema's Take
“Mandrake Cafe strikes that rare balance between a neighborhood regular's quick coffee stop and a destination for thoughtful espresso work, with a light-filled modern space that invites you to linger over their creative drinks like their standout Roma latte that tastes like a Ferrero Rocher in a cup. The team knows how to keep their menu focused and approachable rather than overwhelming, and they bring a distinctive Mexican coffee influence that sets them apart from the typical New York espresso bar.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab.

Roma latte is amazing! It tastes like a Ferrero rocher in latte form. Very nutty and sweet. The space inside is small but cozy. There's a few tables but best for a quick grab n go drink
