“ Very thoughtful service - kind employees and concierge as always. I got a scone this time, assumed it had to be warmed but it was perfectly fine room temp! Chai latte was great!! Get the tonic cold brew - it's special to Ralph's ”
“ Such a cute little spot with really pretty vibes! We had to wait in line for about 10 minutes, but the staff were super polite and kind. We showed up with a group of seven (yep, no reservation ), and they still managed to find us a table without any attitude—major points for that! It was really busy though—lots of noise and chatting, so not exactly a chill or quiet place if that’s what you’re after. One of our coffees was forgotten, and we had to remind them a few times. It finally arrived when the rest of us had already finished our drinks… but at least they didn’t charge us for it. The good news? No one rushed us out, and we could sit and hang out as long as we wanted. Loved that. The coffee and croissants were tasty, and the iced matcha lemonade was surprisingly good! Refreshing and just the right amount of tangy. ”
“ I love the store’s layout, both inside and out, it really draws you in, and the cozy atmosphere makes you want to stay longer. The coffee is fair for the given price. Service is good, but expect a long line during busy hours, so come early, especially if you want to dine in. The merchandise is super cute. Overall, it’s fun to visit, especially for a tourist. ”
“ What a fun team serving up some delicious coffees & pastries at this location. Although their was a line forming from the entrance, a wonderful young man came out to check on those wanting a table...THAT WAS US! So we went right in a sat down. Service was quick & friendly. My specialty latte was creamy & full of flavor. The Lemon Cake was moist & my Chocolate Croissant was flakey & rich! Great place to sit, sip & people watch! ”
“ Ralphs Coffee in New York City is a great cafe. The mocha, latte, and cappuccino were all very good. The croissants and muffin were just okay. It is worth visiting at least once to experience. ”
