Nous Espresso — Restaurant in New York

You need to be a graduate student or specific faculty – or you know someone who is – in order to access to this spot. It is located inside the Graduate Student Center of Philosophy Hall. To the left of the entrance is where the cafe is located. You need an ID badge to enter.

The inside the cafe was quite nice! Very high building, clean and modern. A good place for grad students to relax in peace and quiet. There is an ordering counter with baked goods nicely displayed. They also have sandwich, salad, soup, and few other items here.

We started off with Hot Matcha Latte and Iced Matcha Latte, with pretty good matcha flavor. It was surprisingly good, we were happy with them both.

For food, we Avocado Toast and few donburi dishes. The Avocado Toast didn’t look like much, but it was actually REALLY good! They have a few donburi, and we chose Tuna Yukke Don and Gyuu Don. It came out without poached egg. We took it back to the staff, and he said “yes, you can order these without eggs.” Ummm, well, we DO want to eggs with these. The older staff got a bit confused, went to the back kitchen, and then discovered they don’t have eggs brought in yet. What!

About 10 minutes of wait, they brought in eggs, and made the poached eggs for our dishes. Needless to say, our food was staring to get cold, but not too bad… Finally, the egg was on the top with some seasoning, and the our “bowls” were finally complete. They were good and tasty.

To finish our lunch, we ordered a cup of Mango from inside their refrigerator. They were all perfectly ripe and juicy!

Overall, the experience was good. The price is a bit high, but then the quality of food and drink was really good too. If they didn’t have the egg incident, it would have been much...

updated: awesome awesome place! i always go out of my way to go here and it's such a pleasant experience with the crew there! lucie and ariana are the best and so is the rest of the crew, but i havent gotten to learn their names yet. their drinks and customer service is excellent and it feels like a tight knit group/community which you dont usually find in these new york city streets, to say the least! i also love the food, in particular the pork banh mi and as of late i have a newfound love of the cream cheese pockets. i'm happy i found this place a few months ago and the friendliness/excellent customer service along with the delicious beverages and food is one of the reasons i will be returning!...

This cafe is literally the best. When I come out of school I usually go here. There’s this one worker, I think her name is Ariana? And she’s makes the best drinks, and does a lot of drinks really fast when I’m in a rush lol. I also love how light the cafe is and how much out door lighting comes in, which is an amazing quality. I would...
