Whistle & Fizz — Restaurant in New York

I am a fan of delicious tea, and I also love the aroma of coffee, and enjoy a good cup of joe with my desserts. This spot is all about tasty coffee and tea, with special baristas coming up with interesting concoctions. The inside was long and narrow, with a few seating. The main feature here is the bar. The serious bar has no alcohol, but all coffee and tea! They had small jars containing loose tea leaves, where you could open and get a whiff of fantastic aroma, as you try the drink made with them. A female staff greeted us as we walked in, very nice and friendly. Then one of the owners, Ping, came over and took care of us. First, we received a sample of their signature drinks. We received eight different kinds of drinks, vibrant colors and just begging us to drink them! It was like a flight of tea and coffee. We had their nitrogen infused teas, and their sparkling selections. They were all very good, unique, flavorful, some sweet, some refreshing. I enjoyed them all! After the sampling, we each got a regular size drink. I really liked Mango one and Grapefruit one, and I decided to go with Nitro Mango Tea with Lychee Jelly. The lychee jelly was firm in texture, taste like actual lychee pieces! The tea had a wonderful jasmine tea flavor. I could taste the high quality. Love it! My hubby went with Sparkling Yuzu Mint Lemonade with Tapioca. Tapioca was really plump and awesome, the drink has a bit of punch and fizz that you can really feel when you have the full-size drink. Super refreshing! We had a great experience here, tasty and educational. They certainly put the flavored iced teas to the next level. They have become one of my favorite tea...

As part of a promotion, I was able to order one free hot beverage. I ordered the Nutella Latte. It tastes very much like hot chocolate with a hint of Nutella. It was the perfect drink to have on the cold day when I visited.

The coffee shop is very cute and modern looking. It’s long and narrow with plenty of seating. They have some interesting drinks on the menu with unusual flavor combinations (i.e. Yuzu Mint Fizz and Lavender Butterfly Fizz). They asked if I wanted to try any of their other drinks. I sampled the Nitro Mango drink and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the subtle mango flavor and the nitro makes the drink slightly creamy and very refreshing. I was told this was one of their more popular drinks and I can see why.

I am now a fan of this place and definitely recommend giving them a try!

My friend & I met up for our drink perk and what a cute place to catch up, even though we literally saw each other during the Lunar New Year. The cafe is tiny, but they made use of the space with cozy seating. The charming succulents by the window added a bit of life and color to the space. I also like the functionality of the multiple electrical sockets to charge up your phone as you sip your drink. There were so many choices of drinks: fizzy cocktail inspired creations, hot lattes/teas and nitro brews. The server explained the various drinks and sweetness levels. My friend and I ordered the black gold nitro milk tea with boba. I requested my sweetness level medium and it was perfect. The tea was also the right temperature and the boba was soft and delicious. We also sampled the fizzy drinks and the mango flavored drink was my fave. I wasn’t in the mood for a tropical cold drink, but winter is slowly passing, so another visit during warmer temps...
