“ I have tested all the cappuccinos in the neighborhood -- the one from Amano is clearly the best. A cappuccino is tricky because there is coffee and milk, and both have to perfect and interact just so. For the coffee, the quality is determined by the quality of the coffee itself, of the machine that makes the espresso, and the skill of the barista. The importance of the barista is obvious at Amano when there is a short-term replacement and the quality dips, but the regular baristas are wizards. And crucially, this is one of the few places that serves in a real cup when you stay -- I hate the feel of paper against my lips, having a cappuccino involves all senses. Décor is nice, I hope the outdoor seating comes back despite the new rules. My one complaint is that the wifi is not great outdoors (have to find something to complain about otherwise people think this is a fake review). ”

“ PROS: Outlets, wifi, abundant seating (6 tables + couch + outdoor tables). CONS: when I went the AC was either broken or just working poorly. It was 95 outside and inside felt pretty warm as well- maybe 80s. Also the prices are a little high, an iced hibiscus 16oz tea was $6. Pretty steep for tea. There is also a time limit. 2 hours for those working inside and 1 hour on the weekends. ”

“ Amano Cafe was one of many cafes that I stopped by on my cafe hopping tour of NYC during my trip last month. Walking in, I was delighted by the aesthetics of the interior. I loved the minimalist, rustic black and white feel complemented by the blue and brown touches. Even more, I was happier to see that they offered a toasted coconut latte. I came in on a Wednesday afternoon when most tables were filled with people working or chatting. Service was friendly and prompt and so I left with my latte shortly after ordering. I quickly finished my coconut latte while walking to the subway. The balance of flavors was immaculate as the espresso, coconut, and milk made for a great afternoon drink. ”

“ Small and trendy. The vegan banana muffin was great but the chai was pretty bland. Maybe I was just unlucky I'm sure their other drinks are better. Service was pretty quick for takeout ”

“ I've been meaning to come here for some time now. It's pretty small - so I can't imagine what the weekends are like. I was lucky enough to get a take on a random weekend at 12:30 pm. Note: there is no bathroom!! I got a hot vanilla latte with whole milk ($7.57). ”

“ Got the rocket fuel and the toasted coconut latte -- both were so good!! Rocket fuel tasted a bit like the black and tan from la colombe x a less sweet version of nola at blue bottle. Toasted coconut latte had a subtle coconut flavor without being very sweet at all. Indoor seating is great to catch up with friends but no bathroom which is not great. ”

“ The pecan tart at Amano Café deserves 5 stars on its own. It's soft, perfectly chewy, a tad sticky (in a good way, trust me), and the pecans are caramelized. I'm not one for sweets but this tart was exquisite. Pair it with a cup of hot coffee and you have the perfect afternoon snack. Wish I took a photo of it but after one bite I was hooked. ”

“ Stumbled upon this cute cafe that sits right up my alley. The interior is sleek, clean, with spacious tables (+outlets!) perfect for working from home, study sessions, or people watching. Lady who was there alone in the early morning was very friendly and did a great job pumping out drinks. Cortado 7/10 the coffee wasnt the best for me as it was kinda sour tasting but points for good temp and very cute latte art! Pistachio coconut bar 8/10 dense, nutty, good flavor and not too sweet Pitaya bowl 8.5/10 great bowl with lots of toppings, great way to start the day! ”

“ Cafe on the way, on my Sunday coffee hour and I was glad the Amano Cafe was on the way. Coffee taste good with small potion and trendy customers. There are seats inside and the ambiance was good and warm welcome. Even the barista wasn't able to give me exactly what I want but he still give me a good coffee. ”

“ Good space, wifi is slow though. Coffee is just ok but the fact you can actually work here is a plus. ”
