Cafe Joie — Restaurant in New York

9/1/24 they are open again. Coffee today was from Coffee Project - woke up in NY blend. Hazelnut latte was excellent. House brew is still $3. 😁 4% charge for paying with credit. Staff was friendly! Seating was comfy.

This is my favorite local cafe for REAL coffee. No gimmicky drinks just freshly ground beans, and great tasting coffee.

12/7 today's beans are Sumatra from Brooklyn Roasting Company. Notes: Earthy, Dark Chocolate, Plum. I like the plum notes, it's unique.

I order the House Blend. It's super quick to get. They usually have it ready. The large is around 16oz. I think the menu was updated since my pictures so I'll take new ones next time.

Previous notes: Staff is very friendly. Nice clean cafe with lots of seating. Order at the cashier. Coffee and pre made pastries are quick. Croffle and other stuff that needs to be prepared might take around 10 min.

Coffee is very smooth, reminds me of Ethiopian beans. Croissant is doughy. Sightly sweet. Croffle is chewy like mochi, and ice cream is...

Too much too much mango and the mango is not fresh or sweet. Maybe it is better to cut the mango smaller and put lesser in there and drizzle some mango sauce on it? The center icecream and the small glutinous rice ball is too too sweet on the other hand. Too much of this and people are going to get diabetes. The only redeeming quality is the shaved ice on the bottom with the mango sauce.

Seriously need to cut back on the mango. The mango chosen isn’t good and i hate to waste food.

The server who handed me my item asked me about spoon and bowl. So hear is the thing. I consider myself as someone who have a pretty good hearing. We are also in a rather quiet cafe. So, if you ask me a question about spoon or bowl and I can’t hear you, you need to speak louder. Don’t give me a tone because I can’t hear you. And seriously, SPEAK LOUDER. DONT REPEAT THE QUESTION IN THE SAME VOICE AND EXPECT ME TO HEAR IT. I feel like I’m being gaslighted so they have an excuse to be...

One of my favorite spots! The iced Americano is smooth and perfectly balanced, great quality coffee. I also love their Bingsu, shaved ice dessert, so refreshing and beautifully presented. The croffles are amazing too, crispy on the outside, soft inside, and go great with a coffee. Don’t miss their fruit smoothies. The pear smoothie is especially delicious and refreshing.The place is cozy, clean, and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing café experience with great drinks...
