Adrian PhillipsJune 14, 2016Great little spot in Hell's Kitchen to grab a Cortado (also known as a Gibraltar). Their Iced Coffee is also really smooth if you're looking for a cold drink. Sweet tooth? They have delicious brownies
Daniel SpiewakMay 11, 2016Best coffee I've found (so far) anywhere in Manhattan. Still a very East Coast flavor, but smooth and refined with a perfect finish. Most impressive.
Winston S.October 10, 2015Similar tasting espresso to Birch. 5 two seater tables and about 7 stools with a ledge for your laptop/coffee/pastries. Very nice staff. No bathroom.
pyJune 24, 2018Fantastic place to work, socialize. Great espresso. Iced mocha was great and their pastries are pretty great as well. Try the bread pudding and scone. Wifi is a bonus!
Guido KnookJune 17, 2016Nice service, free wifi (which was stressed by the staff multiple times, haha) and good coffee. Can't go wrong here.
Linoley Flores SerranoSeptember 19, 2021Amazing! The owner was very friendly and the food it's exquisite
Aadiv AgatJanuary 29, 2021The Frisson Espresso is just unbelievable. It's getting too little crowded but has a decent atmosphere. Their service is good.
Stephen MlinarcikJuly 7, 2015Friendly staff coupled with killer scones and some damn fine iced coffee make this cozy nook the caffeinated treasure of Hell's Kitchen.
Fredrik StenbeckOctober 1, 2015Great and friendly staff and my test is always a cappuccino, which was great will come back. Best coffee in Hells Kitchen!
Amol UtrankarDecember 8, 2018Cozy, good coffee and baked goods, has reliable wifi. Downsides: small, limited seating, no public restrooms.
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 30, 2018The best coffee shop in this area of midtown. Order a frothed coffee beverage in and enjoy the latte art and custom mugs.
YSJune 13, 2016Very friendly staff, delicious coffee, nice ambiance! Great hidden spot in hectic midtown- Alves PeeriOctober 20, 2020The best coffee that I've found anywhere. A taste that is still very East Coast, but smooth and refined with a great finish.
Cesar RazuriMarch 23, 2018Small neighborhood coffee shop, right across from an equally delicious spot, Fresh From Hell. Great combo!
TimelessnomadApril 8, 2015Nice quiet spot to take a midday break from work and decompress. Tasty lattes and helpful staff. Soy available.

- Davide CorradiMay 13, 20174 tables and 8 stools. Nice smily staff. The white flat is pretty good. Sit by the window and relax.
Emily SoukasFebruary 22, 2017Great spot to do work or hang out if you're on your own. Not for those who are claustrophobic!
quiet, quaint, nice staff, excellent flat white and pastries. free wifi and place to plug in.- Aaron EastonAugust 28, 2020Deeply chocolaty, Dark chocolate. I love this one of a kind coffee with a delicate flavor.

Ethan MessingerOctober 22, 2018Frisson has great coffee. Best cup I have had in midtown - and I’ve tried them all.
Every barista here is the nicest! Best quick coffee hit in the neighborhood.
- Michael CristeMarch 19, 2015The lattes are good and the staff is great! Very personable and helpful.
Nataly TituninaNovember 22, 2019Coffee is really good. Finally. But rather coffee point with basic cakes
John AAugust 30, 2015Good coffee! Nice staff... Skip the bakery scones, they look delicious, but were too dry.
