Kathryn Yu: Order the cornflake-marshmallow-chocolate chip cookie, a glass of strawberry milk, a slice of dulce de leche cake, english muffin, chinese sausage foccacia, and chorizo challah.
Trishia Pascobillo: Crack pie was ok. I loved the cereal milk and birthday cake truffles!
Veronica H: Cereal Milk soft-serve is a must get too!
Time Out New York: Project 1 is a deconstructed latte flight separating lightly pasteurized milk, espresso and a composed latte into three stemmed glasses to highlight each individual flavor. Read more.
Ben Mackey: Try Project #1: The deconstructed latte. Espresso then steamed milk and then your latte. A great way to taste all the flavours.
Kim Pham: A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate).
Jay Dixit: the espresso with milk is one of the best I've had
Efrem: If you love drip coffee, ask for a pour-over of the Guatemalan....and drink it black! The Brazilian and Costa Rican are best as espresso with milk.
Marco Gomes: The best espresso with oat milk (cappuccino); in this preparation, oat milk is better than regular milk.

Natalie Young: Had the chicken broth with coconut milk. So delicious and surprisingly filling. Price is a little steep, but it's a nice treat on a cold day.
Alexandra Thompson: Beef broth with coconut milk added!!!
Monika McMahon: Best find in NYC so far. Perfect meal in a cup, especially if it is cold or you're battling a cold. I love the beef mixed with coconut milk, chile, and turmeric. It's surprisingly filling!

Ali Kraft: Amazing food from northern Thailand, not your traditional and overdone noodle and curry dishes. Papaya Salad and beef skewers in coconut milk are a must!
Eric Lanehart: this is the realness. the grilled pork in coconut milk! and any somtum, but especially the pork neck variant. congrats on the Michelin win, that’s validation!
Emily Wilson: A somtum is a must, and all this stuff is killer, too: grilled coconut milk marinated pork skewers, pork fried rice with Thai basil, deep fried chicken thighs, any larb (but esp. the mushroom).

Thrillist: Get the extra-gooey choco chip cookie (technically meant for two-to-four people, but who's counting) which is baked-to-order in a cast iron skillet and served with a full jug of icy cold milk. Read more.
Nicolette Romero: Hipster central! Great $5 Bloody Mary specials during brunch. The guac, mac and cheese and cookies and milk dessert are a must!!
Kate Furman: The warm Chocolate chip cookie skillet is awesome and it comes with cold milk.
