Larry’s Ca Phe — Restaurant in New York

I’ve been going to Larry’s since I moved to New York 2 years ago and by far it’s the most consistent in flavors and quality. The most innovative in partnering with locals for pop ups and developing new flavors. And the most friendly and welcoming establishment I’ve been to in New York. New cafes pop up all the time but Larry’s maintains the true essence of New York with an emphasis on community.

When it comes to the drinks and foods I have to say I’m always impressed. I first tried their happa cookies and regular matcha as well as their flat white (one of the bests in the city) and it was amazing, overtime I believe I’ve tried so many things on the menu from their egg trung coffee to their new menu at this park slope location. I highly recommend the tofu noodle for the vegetarians out there! Mildly spicy but so flavorful and yummy.

I have to bring up their delicious and amazing matcha Pandan drink.

If you saw my last review on their original location, I had asked them to add the Pandan to the matcha and the barista was so kind enough to accommodate that. I wrote the review about it and back then it wasn’t a menu item but with the help of all of you ordering it, Tuan added the matcha Pandan to the official menu! And hint hint, ended up naming it after me. Which was such an amazing experience in and of itself.

Such a cool place, team, and legacy that Tuan has created!

As always, I highly recommend coming here for all of their amazing treats and drinks that are hard to find any where else at this quality. Everything is reasonably priced and definitely worth it. I recommend going to their pop ups with smaller local businesses to support...

Super busy on a weekend with very limited people working. They should definitely have more than one barista on a Saturday. Staff were super kind and patient even though it took 30 min to get two coffees 😬

Hyped up place, but the coffee is pretty synonymous with your standard Vietnamese coffee. I don’t know what’s so special about it or what differentiates it from the rest.

Had a corn mochi from Yellow Pear that was superb in taste but too pricey for what it was. I wouldn’t buy it again unless it was $1-2 dollars less than what I paid.

Small place so don’t expect to have a spot to sit on the weekend. I’d like to check it out on a weekday to see if the experience...

Just had an amazing experience at this coffee shop! Staff was super friendly and accommodating to help explain the different types of Vietnamese coffee’s. With four different Vietnamese specific options, they took the time to talk me through the different flavor profiles, and recommended a starting pick.

I tried the Ca Phe Trung (egg custard) and it is both rich and decadent, with strong coffee flavor and hints of cinnamon.

It’s not a cheap drink and the shop is a bit on the pricey side compared to others in the neighborhood. However, the quality is impeccable and definitely worth...
