Kafe Neo

In my opinion as an aspiring coffee snob, this place has the best coffee on the UES. Better than Green Lane, better than Frame, better than Mellow Yellow. Also baristas are nice and well trained and the vibe is low key and pleasant. Essentially no seating indoors though there’s a covered outdoor seating area that maybe they share with the restaurant next door? Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to get in, door is not automatic. As a non-wheelchair user it looks wheelchair accessible if your chair isn’t too wide, but the storefront is on a hill which might make it difficult. Near 2nd Avenue though, which is the bottom of the hill.

The service is impeccable! Very good coffee and pastries! Spinach pie is yum!

Great coffee. Limited baked goods, and everything sells out quickly. There is no seating, more of an order and pick up type place. They also always have a jar of free dog treats, which my dog loves when I get my lattes!

New option on 89th if you want to be totally nickel and dimed. 2 stars since the cold brew is fairly good, but I was shocked to be charged an additional 25 cents on my drink for the barista to add the tiniest drop of oat milk to my coffee - this on top of a plain drink that already costs over $5. There’s far better coffee in the area at places like Variety that leave the milk bottles out and don’t try to gouge you.

I ordered a hot oat milk latte and received something else - it was an iced latte with whole milk or cream in it. I was too hungover to say it was wrong so that's on me and it was still quite good but minus 1 star cause I think I paid more than I should have and minus 1 more star to protect the dairy free community

Good drinks, but pastries were dry and small. Very loud, constant air conditioning. Nearby outdoor seating area is dirty and infested with flies. Paper straws are cringe. Gigantic, unnecessary hole in the plastic cups for sipping from without any way to cover built into the cup, so aforementioned flies might fly into it, or, in our case, the pastry crumbs fell in. Staff was friendly, however and there are free dog treats for locals walking their dogs.

My favorite coffee shop with my ultimate favorite latte (dulce de leche with oat milk)! The servers are always very sweet and it is dog friendly. A must in the UES

One waffle stick with syrup for $7!? Not to mention, waffle batter isn’t fresh and smuckers syrup??
