It was down pouring in the city and my niece and i needed coverage, so we ran into this cafe, i’m so glad we did!!!! The menu, was amazing, it took me forever to choose a bev, but we landed on an ice strawberry matcha and it was gone in 5 minutes (it was that good). You have to get a sweet treat here, we had the sourdough chocolate chip cookie and it was divine. Definitely added to my list to return to, if you’re ever in NYC, it’s worth stopping for.
Amazing drinks and quiet ambiance with the black wood walls, definitely recommend stopping by! Great selection of unique drinks!
cute lil spot to catch up with friends. get the mango madness! also the staff were so friendly.

Not As Bitter is a small, minimalist coffee shop located along East 10th Street, offering a calm and quiet atmosphere that feels almost cinematic. The darker aesthetic features matte walls, sleek counters, and dim lighting, creating a space that encourages focus and relaxation. The staff is knowledgeable and kind, providing attentive service without rushing or pretension. The menu highlights interesting flavor profiles, with no syrups used, and all drinks seem to work well together. Popular offerings include the Strawberry Fields Latte and the Double Pistachio Latte, both praised for their amazing taste. The Banana Split Coffee is loved for its creamy banana flavor, making it indulgent without being too heavy. The café also serves delicious baked goods, such as pistachio orange blossom cookies and sourdough chocolate chip cookies, which are highly recommended. The iced latte and coconut Matcha are favorites, noted for their balanced and smooth flavors. Although they ran out of matcha during a busy Sunday afternoon, many customers appreciate the variety of unique drinks on the menu. Overall, Not As Bitter stands out as a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful spot to enjoy thoughtfully crafted coffee and treats, with a cozy and welcoming vibe in a busy city.
