"Fantastic! Don't miss this little gem of a place. Hidden at the entrance to the subway at 72nd and 3rd. Northeast corner. Excellent and carefully prepared pour over. In my case a very nice Ethiopian coffee. Fresh and clean with a lively palette with hints of blueberry. Enticing! Wonderful egg salad sandwich perfectly prepared and served cold. Very tasty and perfectly prepared with a runny yolk. Toasted bread. Very nice guys acting as barrista and waiters who are very nice and very helpful. Excellent service. Nicely appointed shop. Very cozy and comfortable. Not to be missed!! I rolled in from Texas to visit Sloan Kettering and this was a memorable respite!"

"Really good place. Specialty coffee 100% recommend, you could actually differents notes and taste when you are drinking it. I tried their mocha clouds, I believe, was the name and also chocolate cake, which it was an amazing combination with the Kaede Cortado. I will come back for their black sesame latte. That I am triggered to taste. I was speaking with the coffee barista, actually he is a professional in the topic. Know the differences in tastes notes and the process of seed coffee. If you are someone who knows about specialty coffee, I will recommend this place extremely. Is not like your regular cafeteria. This place actually has someone who knows how to measure, weight, and poor a cup of coffee. Specialty coffee grade: 91% 11/13/25 update New things in the menu, wellcome to try thier motcha cider, i love it to start my day smooth and calm. With one of their sandwiches perfec combination :)"

"Been here over 5 times! Baristas are so kind here, absolutely love the specialty drinks, and the atmosphere is so nice. When I was coughing a lot, the barista brought me a warm yuzu honey drink and it truly made my day 🥺"

"The egg salad part of the sandwich is seasoned well but they add 4 unsalted soft boiled egg halves to it for show. The soft boiled eggs are bland and need more salt or flavor so it felt like half the sandwich was bland. Overall the egg salad sandwich seemed like an overpriced, less tasty version of a normal egg salad sandwich. Friendly, nice service otherwise though"

"Cafe Hatou serves excellent specialty coffee and stays surprisingly quiet for Midtown. The music and decor are very intentional. Great place to savor your coffee."
