Very nice worker, great service. Got the smallest size latte (medium) for $7.10 which is a lot in my opinion but anything for a nice iced coffee. Espresso unfortunately tasted quite burnt so I didn’t finish it. Outdoor seating is fairly uncomfortable but good for hanging out, not so good for working. Will probably not return

Great coffee, friendly service and they have a very creative menu of smoothies and lattes, highly recommended if you love coffee and want to support local business .

The latte was basically an Americano with a tbsp of milk in it which was disappointing. It also cost $6.50 for the small size. Friendly service though

My favorite NYC cafe! Such a charming, cute place with great coffee selection, yummy pastries, and great/friendly service. Their small outdoor patio in the front is a must-visit place in good weather! You can sit, and enjoy your coffee while people-watching. Love it there!

They served us burnt espresso 😭Edit 1: Response to the owners comment - cant demand a refund or another cuppa if it is to go cups we took (4 cups, all made equally poorly). The public rating system exists for a reason. If you are happy to take good reviews here, you should also accept the negative ones. Now, it is burnt coffee you served plus called a customer tacky for an honest review.Edit 2: Do you remember me? How do you know if I tipped or not?! Like I said we were a group of 4 and took coffee to go (mind you no sit-down service received). I did not pay, someone else from my group did - observing covid protocol, the rest of us waited outside. So, I am curious as to how you determined I TIPPED OR NOT since you do not even have my name on your system to cross-check!? All 4 of us thought the coffee we were served was poorly made. Which is a rarity in New York City and hence the rating you received from me. We try to patronize small businesses hence we spend our money there instead of chain restaurants. And isnt it a good thing if this is the only complaint about your coffee? That means this is an exception - you can just say so and move on instead of calling people trolls and making false accusations.

Try the Turmeric Latte, you will not regret it. Im not usually one to get fancy coffee drinks, but that latte will warm your soul

Low quality terrible gross food and bad service . 11$ Acai smoothie bowl was not good..it had no flavor. it was basically blended ice with a purple color. I took two bites and threw it away.And my friend ordered Avocado toast and was not even allowed to eat it inside the shop. ( worker said it was company policy) But we could drink our coffee inside. We wont visit this place again.

LOOOOOVED this new location. One of our favorite coffeehouses in Hell’sKitchen! They have great coffee, baked items, breakfast and lunch items. You must try Tumeric Latte. Very creative and delish!

Delightful experience! The gentlemen behind the counter were very friendly. I had a hot chai tea latte and was not disappointed in the slightest! My companion and I shared an absolutely delicious artichoke and goat cheese croissant. I would definitely return again! (I also appreciate their music selection.)

I was pleasantly surprised about my brunch at Kahve. Initially I thought it was a little pricey for avo toast but after my first bite I was convinced! High quality, tasty ingredients made it worth every penny, especially the truffle oil, mixed with the chili flakes and arugula - delicious!I however didn’t have coffee there so can’t comment on that!

I love this neighborhood gem. Everyone is kind, welcoming, accommodating with the menu options, and always cheerful. Its our go-to when we want food good and coffee. Ive had lunch here probably 10 times since we live nearby and its been consistently good.

The drinks are okay but what we like most is the person working here that evening closing . He was quiet and helpful. We we’re looking for a place to have some coffee or tea after dinner and have a little chat. This was a great place for that.. not that big but it was clean enough not to bother our sight. We were the last customer and he just started to clean and prepare for closing without bothering us. Nice customer service.

Review №35

The coffee was decent. Place has a bathroom. Was able to sit for an hour and work without much interruptions or noise on Sat morning. However, the barista could at least pretend to be a better listener, at least try to maintain eye contact longer and keep the conversation going for a bit.

Review №36

I came here with a friend a few weeks ago and the acai bowl was very tasty. My mom was in town so I decided to take her back because she loves acai bowls. The acai mix today tasted like water and had ice chunks in it. The employee kindly remade our bowls by adding two packets of acai for more taste. Sadly it still looked and tasted like grey water. He said they changed the products they used... I highly suggest to change BACK to your old acai product! It seriously tasted like water

Cute cafe with tasty drinks and good service! I got an iced soy chai and it was pretty delicious which somehow other places tend to mess up all the time. Has some seating if you wanna hang for a while and a decent bathroom. Decor is pretty hipster and cute kind of urban. I really liked the cup it was served in, no straw which I appreciate!

Small coffee place with good food. Large breakfast menu. Mostly sandwiches and burgers, but their pasta dish was also good.Major plus is the outdoor eating area which is dog friendly. We will be returning with our doggos.

I was in NY for business and was looking for a local coffee shop and came across Kahve. I looked in the window and the place had an inviting look about it so I decided to check it out. Boy am I glad I did. Even though there was a bit of a line it moved very quickly and I was warmly greeted by a very handsome gentleman who made me feel like I was a long lost friend. He informed me that all their coffee beans are sourced from all over the world and is privately roasted just for them. Well this is by far the best coffee I have ever had and I travel all over the world for business. I also ordered a croissant and it tasted like it was from a bakery in France. The ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. Another employee stopped by my table to ask if I needed anything. It turned out he was the owner and as we chatted he informed me that it is gay owned and that they have another store nearby that also serves as a wine bar at night. I look forward to checking that place out on my next visit and am happy to have found a gay coffee shop that also serves the best coffee in NYC.

I visited for the first time and tried the smoothie with dragon fruit. It was delicious. I wanted to add acai but was told I wasnt able to. I didnt give 5 stars because I wasnt greeted with a smile or told have a nice day and I feel customer service is essential at any establishment, being friendly and given a warm welcome is like the cherry on top for me when it comes to recommending a business.

Great atmosphere; not great coffee. Its definitely a step above Starbucks, but thats not saying much. The consistency of the espresso shots pulled here vary from tolerable to just burnt tasting... and the same goes for the drip coffee.

Review №59

Staff excellent and fun. Perfect concept for this area. Yummy drinks and baked items.The only issue is that there is not enough seating for everyone whod like to remain a bit. Laptop users sit, take up the tiny tables and dont leave after a reasonable time. If that were dealt with, this would be a perfect coffee shop.

If you’re looking for a new coffee spot, this is the place to go for both New Yorkers and travelers in the area. From the owners, the staff, the beverage choices/food options, and the intimate atmosphere at both locations, overall A+! A coffee place that feels like a home away from home!

Good coffee but average sandwiches. Place is too cold to sit. When asked to switch off fan that was running with extremely cold aircon, I was told that they cannot switch off aircon to keep coffee machines from overheating. What about customers concern?

We went here for coffee two days in a row. We enjoyed the bumping music at the early hours. Unfortunately I really didn’t enjoy the two lattes I got on each day. The raspberry white chocolate mocha didn’t have much of a raspberry taste. I also had the matcha latte with 2% milk which was a huge mistake. It was as thick as slime and tasted like it too.

Whenever I am in Hells Kitchen, I must stop by Kahve for coffee and snacks. This place is so cute and cozy. The staff are all very handsome :) I usually order their signature Almod Chai, its so good. Recently, I love their cold brew coffee, they are so smooth. So many great options on their menu. Dont forget to try their chocolate chips cookies.Theyre delicious. Highly recommended!

Perfect for a little coffee pick me up. Great coffee and pastries. Beware though, its really small with only about half a dozen 2 person tables. Its often packed and the lack of space between tables means you dont have a lot of privacy.

Review №74

If you’re not from the city and you’re looking for quality coffee, this is not the place. Go to Birch coffee instead a few blocks away. Kahve was underwhelming. The latte I ordered was not well made and the coffee itself did not taste good. The chocolate chip cookie wasn’t anything beyond the ordinary also. I was appreciative of their attempt to remake the espresso drink, but it didn’t help because of both the bad espresso machine and baristas not very well trained to make espresso drinks. The espresso machine looks impressive at first glance, but I don’t think it’s able to pull quality espresso shots, which isn’t cool if customers are paying high end coffee shop prices.

Just a really good, really smooth espresso. None of that bitter Starbucks stuff. They also do an extra shot in their lattes so youll be buzzed and empowered throughout the day !

Review №76

The two stars is for the double espresso I ordered. The vibe and atmosphere of the store are great and the baristas working here are nice and offered to remake my drink. The remake was honestly worse but I didnt want them to remake it a 3rd time.Trying my hardest not to sound snobby, this espresso simply did not taste good. It had the bitter taste of cigarettes so maybe the beans they use are older and the machine was possibly not dialed in correctly.I would have loved to make this my new local spot but I will continue going to ground central coffee on 52nd.

This charming coffee shop in Chelsea churns out some tasty roasts - the super friendly staff will learn your name (and become friends with you) whether youre a regular or if you are just stopping by for a sip. The only complaint is that its super teeny - while a little more elbow room would be a plus, the joint more than makes up with it with its convivial vibe.

Kahve had a great selection of coffee and espresso. Id recommend heading there for a quality product and good attention to the drink. The coffee was by far one of the best in NYC and had a great ambiance too. ONly downside was the limited seating. Because its a popular spot all the seats were taken.

Kahve is a cute Turkish coffee establishment right on 9th ave. The space is small and they offer a plethora of teas, lattes, coffees... you know the deal. Last time I visited, I had the chance to strike up a conversation with the baristas there and they were VERY knowledgeable. Any questions I had about my drink options, they answered!Also, I should note that their baked good are quite good as well! Their apple cake pastry was moist, flaky and buttery. All in all, delicious. Cant wait to go back.

This place is awesome. A cute, trendy, local spot to have some delicious coffee or tea and hang out with free WiFi. They also have a nice selection of cookies and pastries. A great alternative to the crowded neighborhood Starbucks locations. They even have a loyalty card!I left off the last star for 2 reasons: The straws are terrible and flimsy. I have yet to get one open without breaking it. And no public restroom.
