Cafe Diem NYC

Frisson is a tiny nook with friendly energy. The barista greeted us with a smile, walked the girls through their iced matcha, and nailed the drinks quickly. I ordered a flat white, hoping for a light roast, but medium was the only option on bar. It was smooth and chocolate-leaning with perfectly textured milk, just not the bright profile I usually chase. Space is tight so more grab-and-go than sit-and-stay…so don’t count on lingering for long. Still, the warm service and solid execution make it an easy four-star stop when you need a quick coffee fix in the neighborhood.

Had a wonderful experience with Billy! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and conversation. We got adorable latte art and the drinks were delicious. Flat white was smooth. Came from out of town but love coming to NYC for good coffee, will definitely be back!

Nice little place with delicious coffee and friendly staff. The only I’d say they can improve is the AC, it’s too hot! 🥵

Flat White was good, but Canelé was not. It was only warm outside but still cold inside, which made me think they don't know how to reheat frozen pastry right.
