"Great vibes but questionable mixing mechanics. My friend and I were looking for unique latte spots around SoHo, and this place came up. We stopped by late afternoon on a weekend, and the café was absolutely packed with people working. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered their popular osmanthus latte and honey rose latte, both iced. The lattes themselves were solid, but because we got them iced, it felt like the honey and syrups didn’t fully integrate into the coffee. The first 80% of the drink was just generic latte, and we kept swapping cups trying to figure out which was which. It wasn't until we hit the bottom of the cup that the flavors finally woke up and punched us in the face. I’d recommend ordering these hot if you want a more even flavor from start to finish."

"Stopped by The Lost Draft for an Osmanthus latte - it was smooth but too mild to really catch the osmanthus flavor. The café has a warm, earthy vibe with plenty of seating. It’s a cozy spot to unwind or get some work done."

"I’ve been searching for a sesame latte to top the black sesame latte from Tadaima, and the Lost Draft now has my second favorite. The sesame is wonderfully blended and adds an earthy, caramelized flavor to the latte. This is also a great place to work, having good WiFi, outlets, lots of seating, and a bathroom."

"I’ve been frequenting this place for about a year. This is my go-to spot to relax or study when I’m in the SoHo area. Spacious, bright, and lively. They have strong A/C, a lot of natural light, plenty of seating, and is quite spacious. Even when it’s busy and packed, it doesn’t feel overwhelming nor crowded. You’ll find a vast array of people come through here - students, shoppers, tourists, etc. It’s a bit of every type of person in NYC. As for the food, I usually get an espresso - pretty solid. Their other drinks are also fairly good. I don’t think I’ve gone wrong with the drinks I’ve had so far. Cookies and pastries are fine. They do have a popcorn machine! A few times I got popcorn on the house. I’m glad to see this place is doing well for itself. This is a nice place to work, to chat with friends, or to just unwind."

"The staff is super friendly here! This place is great to get work done at, they have tons of tables and power outlets. There’s a bathroom available as well, which not too many cafes have in the city, so a huge bonus. The chocolate chip cookie is homemade and their strawberry matcha is awesome! 10/10 as a cafe connoisseur 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️"
