We found this tiny place steps from our hotel and it became our go to during our trip in New York. Highly recommended coffee and the world best blueberry scone . A bonus is the incredible customer service we received.

Hidden gem! Artisan lattes and small curation of breakfast treats. We had the Brioche French Toast and Avocado Toast both were amazing. It's obvious they take pride in their craft and the quality is outstanding.

The cafe is a tiny space nestled in the heart of Manhattan, it offers a very cozy vibe when you first walk in. It looks to be family-owned and offers exceptional coffee. I would recommend their signature Vermont Maple Latte abut any espresso based drink is amazing. The cashier is nice and efficient. I've already been several times and definitely will come back.

This is a small café with lots of options. Our coffee was delicious. I love when the barista goes out of their way to make it look presentable. Friendly ppl working behind the counter.

I picked up a morning iced coffee and a pastry item (ham and cheese croissant) from here. The ham and cheese croissant is delicious and their iced coffee is the perfect way to start my morning at the office. 5/5 recommendation

This was such a cute Korean cafe right next to the hotel we were staying at. It's a really small and cozy space that just wraps you in warmth as soon as you enter. The chocolate croissant, as well as the egg and bacon breakfast croissant were DELICIOUS. There was nothing that could beat their hot lavender latte as well. My fiancé and I sat at the small bar alongside the wall of the shop, since there isn't many seating options available (just one small table indoors and a couple tables outside). The service was also great, as we got our food and drinks so fast! I highly recommend this cafe if you're ever in the area!

During a visit to NY, I was lucky enough to be very close to Lucid Café so I stopped by one morning for coffee and juice. It's a small space but very clean and has a few seating for those not taking away. I ordered a chai and the Vermont maple latte. I was surprised they asked how sweet I wanted my chai and asked for it to not be too sweet. They also had all the different milk options - I know some smaller cafes don't always offer that. I also got an orange juice and the ham and cheese sandwich. The coffees were delicious and the orange juice was fresh! The ham sandwich had a yuzu jam and was so yummy. I think this is family owned and the service was really excellent. If you're nearby or want good quality coffee, visit Lucid!

Lovely small breakfast stop. great coffee, muffins, danish. minimal seating, basically most customers take out. staff very courteous and helpful. a oasis in a blah neighbor hood.

Writing while at the cafe which I rarely do, but Lucid Cafe is really great! I went for an iced lavender latte to nurse my hangover and a blueberry scone. I nearly ordered the apple turnover before the scone turned my head, and the woman working let me know that that's her favorite pastry there and they bake them every morning!! She was so sweet and as I sat for a while she shared that sweetness with every customer, even the dumb ones. The space is tiny, luckily I got a seat with an outlet while I wait for my train at grand central. The outdoor seating is cute for a warm day. This is definitely not a place you would want to do any wfh stuff from. It is one of few 'real' cafes in this area, otherwise you're stuck with starbucks. The latte was yummy, though I wish they did iced cappuccinos (it is very common for cafes not to, so I can't knock them). If I ever miss my target train and need to spend another hour, you can definitely find me here.

A nice little cafe. It punches above its weight in terms of service. It seems like a chill family run establishment. I very much enjoyed my cortado. I saw others with lattes and I became jealous because they looked beautiful. I'd go back.
