What do reviewers say about So New York and Coffea?
The cocoa-and-coffee crowd will find plenty to love. But So New York isn't for those who want their dessert in a glass. This is the espresso moment the city runs on, bittersweet, a little serious.So New York
The aldehydes here don't shout, they sharpen. They cut through the iris and coffee so neither gets heavy or sweet. It's the choice for someone who wants warmth without drowsiness.Coffea
