My friends and I stopped by The Lost Draft, had a chill vibe with lots of seating! We got the S’mores latte, Maple latte, and Chai. The drinks were a nice end to our night :)

Highly recommend Lost Draft in New York! The osmanthus coffee is amazing — delicate floral aroma with a smooth finish. Definitely worth trying if you love creative drinks.

My first time here and I will definitely comeback! Great place to hangout or do remote work/study. Also the season matcha drink was amazing!

The staff is super friendly here! This place is great to get work done at, they have tons of tables and power outlets. There’s a bathroom available as well, which not too many cafes have in the city, so a huge bonus. The chocolate chip cookie is homemade and their strawberry matcha is awesome! 10/10 as a cafe connoisseur 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Love this Cafe! The atmosphere is calm, lots of space and seating. Maite and Gia were my baristas and they were so delightful and had great music tastes!

I’ve been frequenting this place for about a year. This is my go-to spot to relax or study when I’m in the SoHo area. Spacious, bright, and lively. They have strong A/C, a lot of natural light, plenty of seating, and is quite spacious. Even when it’s busy and packed, it doesn’t feel overwhelming nor crowded. You’ll find a vast array of people come through here - students, shoppers, tourists, etc. It’s a bit of every type of person in NYC. As for the food, I usually get an espresso - pretty solid. Their other drinks are also fairly good. I don’t think I’ve gone wrong with the drinks I’ve had so far. Cookies and pastries are fine. They do have a popcorn machine! A few times I got popcorn on the house. I’m glad to see this place is doing well for itself. This is a nice place to work, to chat with friends, or to just unwind.

Amazing staff! Loved my matcha and the cookies were to die for. I’m picky when it comes to matcha. Such a nice comfy atmosphere to work out of.

The staff was so nice and kind. I got a free cookie :D And they were very accommodating with seating. My Yuzu Peach Iced Tea was delicious, it wasn’t over brewed which was great. They were very forthcoming with details aboutlol sugar content in drinks and etc. the bathroom was very clean and nice and the vibes where very cute and spacious— definitely breathable. Maite Was AMAZING!!!!!

In the heart of SoHo this place is the best coffee shop to sit, eat and rest. We got an iced coconut latte and a honey rose latte, the lovely staff offered us a banana muffin and a chocolate chip cookie. All was delicious and we cannot wait to come back!

Randomly found this café to escape the heat, and wow… I’m so glad I did. Shoutout to the barista Maite for recommending these two drinks and they were AMAZING. I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to for this one. Please try the pistachio latte with sesame cold foam or pandan foam, and the matcha latte with strawberry syrup 🤌🏻🤌🏻 10/10.

Good cafe, nothing special but still good. Pastries are good, the coffee wasa decent. would recommend if in the area.

Here’s a personal review in American English for The Lost Draft: The Lost Draft – Personal Review The Lost Draft is one of those spots that instantly feels like your neighborhood bar even if it’s your first time there. Walking in, you’re greeted by a lively yet relaxed atmosphere — warm lighting, a mix of booths and high tops, and the buzz of good conversation. It’s exactly the kind of place you want for a casual night out or a laid-back dinner with friends. One of the biggest draws here is the beer selection — creatively curated and constantly rotating. Whether you’re into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or something a little more experimental, there’s almost always something new and interesting on tap. It’s a fun place to explore different brews without feeling overwhelmed. The food pairs perfectly with the drinks. The menu leans toward elevated pub classics — think flavorful wings, loaded fries, tasty sandwiches, and shareable plates that are great for grazing or making a full meal out of it. Everything I tried was solid: well-seasoned, satisfying, and exactly what you want alongside a cold draft. Service at The Lost Draft feels friendly and authentic. Staff are attentive without being pushy and are happy to recommend beers or favorite dishes, which adds to the welcoming vibe of the place. The crowd here feels diverse — from after-work groups and couples to people out for a casual weekend hang. It’s lively without ever feeling chaotic, which makes it a great go-to whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed dinner or just drinks and conversation.

Great vibes but questionable mixing mechanics. My friend and I were looking for unique latte spots around SoHo, and this place came up. We stopped by late afternoon on a weekend, and the café was absolutely packed with people working. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered their popular osmanthus latte and honey rose latte, both iced. The lattes themselves were solid, but because we got them iced, it felt like the honey and syrups didn’t fully integrate into the coffee. The first 80% of the drink was just generic latte, and we kept swapping cups trying to figure out which was which. It wasn't until we hit the bottom of the cup that the flavors finally woke up and punched us in the face. I’d recommend ordering these hot if you want a more even flavor from start to finish.

Spacious, cool and creative spot with great, friendly staff and cool but not “too cool” people. Great spot to work! They also have a quiet booth you can reserve if you need it!

Stopped by The Lost Draft for an Osmanthus latte - it was smooth but too mild to really catch the osmanthus flavor. The café has a warm, earthy vibe with plenty of seating. It’s a cozy spot to unwind or get some work done.

The staff here are lovely and even gave us a free cookie after forgetting part of our order, but unfortunately, the food and drinks were disappointing. Both vanilla latte and cookie butter were disappointing, and the egg bites were served cold in the center. We ended up having to toss most of our order. Great service, but the quality of the food just wasn't there.

Tried this place out a few times. Their cold brew was not good. I came back to try a latte instead and truly could not finish it. The espresso was so burnt and sour I was so disappointed. Maybe if you get something with extra flavors or specialty lattes the taste could be masked but the coffee itself was just so disappointing every time. Everyone is always so nice so I am sad to say it but the product is just not good- consistently. Much better to be found steps away.
