What do reviewers say about So New York and Coffee Break?
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
This one confused a lot of people expecting a literal coffee fragrance. The lavender and milk dominate the heart, making it more aromatherapy than espresso shot.Coffee Break
