A new concept which is pretty unique as they opened this place last summer( summer 2022 I guess), with a robot serving you a cup of coffee.
The cafe has a really cool vibe and the staff is probably the most friendly one I have come across in NYC! They are really helpful and cheerful while providing the service and hats off to them!
I decided to go for a latte, the price though is a bit on the higher side probably given Adam the robot is at work. The robot basically picks up the cup and lets coffee pour in it and places the cup down while letting it go after you touch it. As of now the robot only makes selective drinks, hope it changes in the future. Technically, they have done a good job but product wise they should definitely improve on their latte.

The team has had some learnings along the way, like how the cups must be pre-spaced so that Adam can pull them out, but the staff is friendly and actively learning how to improve the experience.
I really enjoyed my visit to BotBar and look forward to seeing the upgrades the owner is...
Read moreI ordered a simple cappuccino. There is no way to select milk type or additions.
The cappucino was made by a cheap bodega machine and the milk was frothed - not steamed - in a little home milk frother. One would think that a coffee place would know how to make a simple cappuccino, but it looks like a gimmick robot is mostly what is sold here.
The result was a terrible cappuccino. I am rating this 2 stars because there was a 40% discout for a total of $3.66. At full price, it is a...
