"The BEST lattes I’ve had in nyc. Amazing flavors like saffron rose, pistachio, the Rumi Special is the best! The space is super cozy and aesthetic. The owner is great & very kind. Definitely recommend!!"

"Cafe Rumi is an absolutely amazing spot the atmosphere is warm, the service is always welcoming, and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful. Every visit feels relaxing and enjoyable. The staff treats you with real hospitality, and the quality of everything they serve truly stands out. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food, great people, and a peaceful place to unwind! ZeeMunir"

"The sweetest staff who are also engaging and create a warm environment. The Rumi special itself was like a sip of home topped with high quality saffron. I enjoyed the owner’s book collection as well. If you’re looking to wind down or feel a bit a home then I highly recommend!"

"Oh, how I love this coffee shop! The seating area is small, but super cozy, and has the cutest decor. If you’re familiar with the works of Rumi, it really hits on another level, but it’s still a vibe either way! I don’t usually double-fist my coffee, but I couldn’t make a decision here— I had the Rumi Special and Gulab Jamun Latte, and both were amazing!"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Rumi is a gem in NYC. The saffron coffee was absolutely delicious—rich, aromatic, and unlike anything you find elsewhere. They also offer creative and comforting options like gulab jamun coffee and a beautifully spiced masala chai, which really stand out. Beyond the drinks, what makes Cafe Rumi special is its heart. This is a small business trying to survive in a tough, venture-capital–driven NYC real estate market, and they do it while staying true to their values. They actively support causes that promote world peace and love, which you can genuinely feel in the space and the way they operate. If you’re looking to support a meaningful local business while enjoying unique, thoughtfully crafted drinks, Cafe Rumi is well worth a visit."
