Foreigner NYC — Restaurant in New York

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME going here go to :3Coffee its a few feet away and way better!

I had the unfortunate experience of visiting Foreigner Coffee, and if I could give this place a negative review, I most certainly would. As a Manhattan local, I expected a certain level of quality and professionalism, both of which were sorely lacking.

Let's start with the coffee itself - it was simply not good. For a place that prides itself on its brews, the flavor was lackluster at best. But the disappointment didn't end there; it was eclipsed by the abysmal attitude of the staff.

The person who "assisted" me was unbelievably rude. I ordered two oat milk lattes, iced, and requested them to be made simple. When I clarified my order by adding "with simple," I was met with silence. It seemed like a simple request, but apparently not. When I inquired about adding simple syrup, the staff member's response was nothing short of disdainful.

To my surprise, I was handed only one latte, and when I politely mentioned that I had ordered two, the situation took a turn for the worse. The staff member had an outburst, berating me for expecting them to make two lattes at once. It was a simple inquiry, not an unreasonable demand, but apparently, that was too much to ask.

To add insult to injury, after finally receiving my drinks, I overheard the staff member muttering derogatory remarks about me to her colleague. It was clear that customer service was not a priority at Foreigner Coffee.

Needless to say, I will never set foot in this establishment again, even if they were to offer me free coffee for life. The appalling behavior of the staff overshadowed any potential enjoyment of their mediocre beverages. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of Foreigner Coffee unless you enjoy subpar coffee and being treated with...

If I could give this café six stars, I’d probably break the rating system — but here we are.

Let’s start with the service: Imagine being greeted like you're the long-lost heir to the coffee throne. The staff are so friendly, I half expected them to offer me a warm blanket and ask how my childhood was. Seriously, they make you feel like family (the good kind, not the ones who ask why you're still single).

Now — let’s talk about the honey cinnamon latte. I don’t know what kind of sorcery goes on behind that espresso machine, but this drink is life-changing. It tastes like autumn and a hug had a baby, then dipped it in sunshine. The cinnamon hits like a warm whisper from your grandma saying, “You got this, sweetie,” while the honey wraps around your soul like a cozy sweater you didn’t know you needed. It’s smooth, sweet, spicy, and dangerously addictive. I’m considering writing it into my will.

If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out. Go. Sit. Sip. Try the honey cinnamon latte. Then write your own dramatic love poem about it. You’ll see...

I went for the crème brûlée latte. I read a lot of reviews that it was so sweet so I was really surprised to find the latte underneath was quite bitter/strong and I don’t think it had any flavor or sweetener except a strong coffee flavor, I feel like even a vanilla would help balance things out with the custard on top. As for the custard, if it mixed into the coffee kind of like a cold foam it would balance things out nicely, but because it’s much thicker it didn’t and neither could you get a sip of coffee with it or through a straw, so it was quite hard to enjoy on the go. I tried mixing it in but like I said it didn’t help much since it’s too thick to mix in. Maybe they should try putting it on the bottom so it’s easier to sip kind of like boba toppings but I get that ruins the aesthetic. The taste of the custard was very eggy, again missing some flavoring like through a good vanilla. It was fun but I was drooling over pics and vids and it wasn’t what I thought from...
