The Soiree
About
Locals often rave about the Kaori Matcha Tea and the Saint-Tropez latte, describing them as phenomenal. One reviewer noted, 'MATCHA IS OUT OF THIS WORLD AND AMAZING COSTUMER SERVICE,' emphasizing both quality and service. Several flag the Uji matcha with oat milk as a standout, while others appreciate the Strawberry Matcha Latte, which they say is gospel. The atmosphere at The Soiree is frequently noted as modern and beautiful, blending elegance with tranquility. However, some find it overpriced for nearly $12 after tax/tip. Despite this, the space remains popular among both locals and visitors who appreciate its cozy ambiance, particularly on weekday afternoons. Additionally, the staff are described as friendly and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience. The Soiree's matcha is often described as strong and clean, with one reviewer calling it 'the best matcha in Manhattan.' While limited seating can be an issue during peak hours, the overall value for money is generally positive.
