Harbs SoHo is an absolute gem when it comes to cakes—truly unforgettable and consistently delicious. Every time I visit, I make it a point to try the newest flavors with friends, and they never disappoint. The cakes are fresh, light, and beautifully crafted, making each bite a delight. Whether it’s their signature Mille Crêpes or a seasonal special, everything is top-tier in terms of flavor and texture. However, while the desserts are impeccable, the service leaves much to be desired. Some staff members are not as professional as one would expect, often taking too long to take orders and sometimes even bringing the wrong items. It can be frustrating, especially given the high quality of the food. Overall, I absolutely love the cakes and the experience of sharing them with friends, but I wish the service matched the excellence of the desserts. If you’re patient and willing to overlook the service, Harbs SoHo is still a must-visit for anyone who loves exquisite cakes.

Coming from Asia, where teas are served very well, this Green Tea in Harbs is nowhere near to High Quality Asian standard. Maybe Americans have different tastes for Green Tea. To me it is not worth the money. Cakes looked fabulous. Sad that I was too full to have a bite.

Went around lunch time and got the prix fixe set with the butter shoyu pasta, Japanese sencha tea and a slice of the grapefruit mousse cake. Initially I thought it was a bit expensive, but seeing the quantity and quality of food I think it’s worth it. Service was great, immediately seated, brought me water and took my order quick. Food came out at good intervals, letting me eat the (large portion of) salad first, then the pasta, and then the cake. Also made sure to offer me a second cup of the tea to have with my cake (no added charge). They also made sure to refill my water and bring the bill quickly. I’d probably order the pasta again since it tasted great, although I am curious about other dishes. It has both mushroom and chicken in it, so it’s quite filling too. The grapefruit cake was really tart so it wasn’t to my taste, but they do give you 3 options for cake slices and it was my choice.

This was my first time trying Korean pastries, and overall it was a nice discovery. While it’s not necessarily my favorite type of pastry, I did enjoy what I tried and found the flavors interesting and well executed. That said, the experience felt a bit restrictive. If you choose to eat on site, each person is required to order something, and considering the relatively high prices, that felt a bit disappointing. The pastries were good, but not exceptional enough to fully justify the price point in my opinion. The atmosphere was rather cold and not very cozy, but the biggest positive was definitely the kindness of the staff, who were very pleasant and welcoming. Overall, a decent experience for discovering Korean pastries, but not a must-visit for me.

The food was delicious and the cake was even better but the service was really spotty unfortunately 🥺 it’s a good place to come if you plan on spending hours talking without the waiter interrupting though 😆😆

The food and cakes at HARBS are truly amazing, especially considering that I’m not usually a big fan of cake. The tea was also excellent. However, I had to give a mediocre rating due to the disappointing service and the long wait for our order. I visited with a few friends, and we all ordered at the same time. One friend ordered spaghetti, while the rest of us opted for cake and drinks. To our surprise, the spaghetti arrived before any of the cakes or drinks, which was quite odd, given that this isn’t a multi-course meal. The timing of the service was definitely off.

Three adults and a kid walk in. The server, clearly under pressure from the overwhelming crowd (see photo), rudely tells us they don’t accept only three orders—even the kid has to order something. Because, you know, business was booming at that moment… 😂😂

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at Harb Soho. The place was completely empty, yet the waitress was shockingly rude from the moment we arrived. She insisted that everyone at the table had to order something — including my 7-year-old son. Seriously? A child? We explained that he’s a child and obviously doesn’t drink tea, but she wouldn’t budge and spoke to us in an unnecessarily harsh tone. This kind of inflexible, unwelcoming attitude makes no sense, especially when the restaurant had no other customers. There are plenty of amazing spots in Soho with good food and respectful staff. I won’t be returning here, and I wouldn’t recommend Harb Soho to anyone looking for a decent experience.
