F. Bastard: Eater: "Incredible, aromatic cardamom bun, quince tart, pitch perfect pain au chocolat, sesame-topped ham and cheese croissant, (which) infuses the savory fragrance of the ham deep inside the dough."
Dan: Excellent coffees (but $$) and pastries, in particular sesame loaf was incredible, pan au chocolat and cardamom bun both great. Very busy.
Noah Weiss: Phenomenal cortado, great chai, and fresh baked pastries (cardamom bun). Scandic hipster vibes. Heavily recommended.

Gilt City: Beneath the delicate, artistic top layers lie homemade fruit fillings and rich ganaches in flavors like cardamom, Champagne and saffron. Also a must-try: chipotle-spiked hot chocolate.
Prateek Yanati Reddy: Hazelnut, Lavender and Cardamom Art Ganaches, from MarieBelle

Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan: Have a flight of Aquavit, a few recommendations: Fig & Cardamom, Anise, Caraway & Fennel, & of course Lingonberry.
Village Voice: You must try the Swedish rendition of glögg which is brewed with figs, cardamom, and bourbon.
Lori Luo: One of the best dining experiences in NYC, Aquavit's Chef's Tasting Menu will take you on an unbelievable journey with dishes such as the Beet Gravlax, the Winter Dashi, and Arctic Bird's Nest.

Pouya: Delicious cocktail: “cardamom + golden kiwi” . Unique presentation cocktail: “grapefruit” and “nightcap” (only served after 9:00 pm and only good as the last drink)
George Th: Lovely atmosphere, great cocktails and really tasty food choices. We tried fried chicken, pork buns and Hokkaido ramen and everything was perfect! Also, very reasonable prices.
David Park: Good food and drinks, but they really get you in and out on their timetable

Elizaveta T.: Flat white with orange blossom water and black cardamom (oat milk) is a must. Practically their black cardamom latte, but shorter and without sugar👍🏽
Eman Abdulaziz: Good speciality coffee. I would recommend the mini chocolate cup cake, it tastes amazingly creamy with dash of salt.
Vanck Zhu: Nice spot but no WiFi.

Indian Restaurant · NoMad · 188 tips and reviews
Swati Doshi: Come Tuesday or Wednesday night to the bar and you will be served by the best bartender in NYC - Mike! I love the off menu cocktails - the spicy margarita and the vodka infused with cardamon!
Ting: Definitely get the prix fixe if you have a big group. Food is delicious and high quality. Don't miss the desserts especially the cardamom one.
Prad Nelluru: For dessert, the cardamom sponge is otherworldly. It comes with a slice of khulfi (Indian ice cream). The play of textures is a delight on top of sweetness.

Daria Gerin-Novitsky: Fantastic spa with a great and soothing atmosphere. Super friendly staff! Yamile is hands down the best for facials. Soothing lotion is an AMAZING product for everyone! Goodbye pores!
Nick Mirto: Amazing spa. I have had spa massages and facials in central America, Asia, Europe and from coast to coast in the USA. Yamile gives one of the best I have ever had anywhere.
Jessica Santascoy: Massage is great - they use lots of oil (to help balance the body). Ask for the massage that's good for jet lag if you've been traveling. Everyone should get a consultation with Pratima.
