Foreigner NYC

Latte: Very milky, soft, not balanced. Will not return. Vibe: nice place, friendly barista, had high hopes, alas

The staff is so rude!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME going here go to :3Coffee its a few feet away and way better! I had the unfortunate experience of visiting Foreigner Coffee, and if I could give this place a negative review, I most certainly would. As a Manhattan local, I expected a certain level of quality and professionalism, both of which were sorely lacking. Let's start with the coffee itself - it was simply not good. For a place that prides itself on its brews, the flavor was lackluster at best. But the disappointment didn't end there; it was eclipsed by the abysmal attitude of the staff. The person who "assisted" me was unbelievably rude. I ordered two oat milk lattes, iced, and requested them to be made simple. When I clarified my order by adding "with simple," I was met with silence. It seemed like a simple request, but apparently not. When I inquired about adding simple syrup, the staff member's response was nothing short of disdainful. To my surprise, I was handed only one latte, and when I politely mentioned that I had ordered two, the situation took a turn for the worse. The staff member had an outburst, berating me for expecting them to make two lattes at once. It was a simple inquiry, not an unreasonable demand, but apparently, that was too much to ask. To add insult to injury, after finally receiving my drinks, I overheard the staff member muttering derogatory remarks about me to her colleague. It was clear that customer service was not a priority at Foreigner Coffee. Needless to say, I will never set foot in this establishment again, even if they were to offer me free coffee for life. The appalling behavior of the staff overshadowed any potential enjoyment of their mediocre beverages. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of Foreigner Coffee unless you enjoy subpar coffee and being treated with utter disrespect.

Went in to try a speciality matcha that was advertised — and sadly the matcha was low quality, a more musty green vs vibrate. I did appreciate the cardamom bun, but didn’t make up for the poor matcha

Awesome cortado.

$7 latte tasted bitter and burnt

The best place in the area to have a coffee. Quite little cafe with many options and great service. I also bought coffee grains from them and so far it has become one of my favourites.
