tiny cafe with unique coffee in chinatown—

Dreamers Coffee House may be overlooked when you are walking around chinatown / lower east side. but this hole-in-the-wall cafe will satisfy your caffeine craving 🫶🏻

this spot can fit 4 people at most. i cannot even wait inside comfortably for my drink. however, i was drawn to the vibe and cozy decor. something tells me this cafe offers unique and creative coffee / bakery ☕️

i tried rose matcha latte 🍵 ($7). with their homemade syrup, this feels like one of a kind seasonal drink. during warmer months, they will have outdoor seating area.

a new drink that i really wanna try is jasmine matcha latte 🍵 i like how they add some twist here and there to level up your everyday menu.

this spring, they offer 20% off for pastry + seasonal drink when you go after 3pm (they close at 5pm) 🤍
