Found this coffee shop right by our hotel, and we went every single morning of our trip! Coffee was amazing, as well as a great selection of pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Baklava is a must try! Super welcoming environment, cool decor, just a wonderful memory of our trip! Next time I’m in New York this will be one of my first stops!

Great little coffee spot with a cosy feel, great music and perfect coffee and food. The avocado on toast was creamy and delicious and the coffee was on point. The staff are lovely and a nice spot to sit in the window and watch the world go by.

Amazing experience! The staff here are super friendly and quick, even during the busiest hours. My drink was made perfectly, and the store was clean and welcoming. Great spot to grab a coffee and relax in the middle of Manhattan.

Not Starbucks, which is the misreading that led me here, but a happy accident! Cute store, and Turkish coffee comes with a little baklava that was very sweet as it should be

Really good vibes! They let me play their old electric organ and check out their record / tape / cd player! Great music and ceremonial grade matcha! My only issue was that the oat milk was way too sweet and there is no bathroom. Lovely family owned cafe!

This was one of the best discoveries I made in New York. The food is absolutely delicious and this is probably the best coffee I've had here. The moment you step into the shop you feel and see the comfortable atmosphere this shop has. It is small but that's what makes it so sweet. But most importantly the people working here are very sweet. They are an immediate pick-me-up and treated us very kindly. I am here with my friends from Germany and the man here can speak German. So that was a very nice way to connect with people here. I will definitly come back to this place as often as I can:)

Adorable place! Great pastries, and they gave me a free piece of Baklava with my order!

Iconic coffee shop, the family that owns it is the sweetest. Really good coffee and Turkish sweets, and I love what they did with the place, they have music instruments and LP covers on the walls, its a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend

Starstruck offers great coffee and pastries made by the friendliest Turkish family. Try the Baclava pastry, it's perfectly flakey, not too sweet, and oh so delicious. A perfect addition to 9th Avenue.

Came here for breakfast and was really impressed. The service was very friendly and polite and the breakfast/coffee was reasonably priced. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and it was a good amount of food and delicious. I also liked the decor inside. Would come again if I am in the area

Great coffee place offering Turkish coffee and good deserts including Baklava. The place is small but it has about 12 total seats.

Amazing vanilla chai latte! We have a place in our hometown we thought was our favorite. This is absolutely amazing! Very quaint, eccentric locally owned shop. Lots of vintage album covers on the wall.

Popped in to rest my feet after some writing and had a great experience! I asked for a suggestion-- I think I was made an iced latte with rose vanilla and chocolate? I told them I like everything and this didn't disappoint. The coffee was delicious and the vi e inside is cozy and comfortable. I definitely will make it a usual stop when im in the area!

A small and cozy cafe, with a beautiful interior, you can while away the time before the appointment, drinking a cup of tea or coffee with dessert, as I did ) I took a cappuccino with oat milk and a danish with cherries, I really liked it, it was very tasty. Danish was brought to me on a very beautiful plate and coffee in a cup, it is nice, because basically everywhere they serve in disposable cups. The waiting time passed quickly and pleasantly with good music and I happily ran about my business. Thank you Starstruck coffee.

Cozy neighborhood coffee spot. Warm light, good music, and no pressure to rush. Easy place to sit, talk, think, or just pause for a bit. Friendly owners, comforting drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.Thank you, Starstruck Coffee, for serving New York!

Very cute, small but several tables open. Great menu with lots of options - got a hazelnut mocha in a huge mug and it was wonderful! Friends got other fun or basic drinks and enjoyed them. Worth checking out!

We came to Manhattan for an entire week and found right around our corner this magnificent family owned coffee shop with a diverse menu and delicious coffee. The owners are the sweetest people and so attentive and cordial. Papa’s name Irfan Tas, his wife Mama’s name Cemile Tas and their awesome daughter Gunes Tas and their son Deniz will be happy to provide the best service and flavors possible! Make sure you stop by if you’re close by, they are located at 454 9th ave West in Manhattan NY. Thank you Papa, Mama and their son Deniz and their amazing daughter Gunes for making us feel so welcome every day we visited you guys for amazing coffee and delicious pastries! Next time we will stop by and make sure we say hi and enjoy your place!

Very charming NYC coffee shop with tasty coffee, yummy baklava, relaxing, with music, very aesthetically pleasing, kind service too. Loved our visit! Thank you

Overall: 2.9/5 I often noticed their A-frame sign on my commute to work, and the vibrant blue drink featured on it always caught my eye. On my last morning of commuting, I finally decided to give it a try. The cafe has a distinctive charm, blending an antique aesthetic with a rock & roll vibe. It's a very small space, with just 2-3 tables, I ordered the hot Lithium Coffee ($7.50) with Oat Milk ($1.11), while my coworker got a hot matcha latte. The drink size was generous, and the blue color from the butterfly pea tea was striking. Unfortunately, the taste didn't live up to the visuals. It was heavy on spices, and I honestly can't recall the other ingredients beyond the tea. I couldn't finish the whole drink so I felt bad for wasting. The drinks take a bit of time to prepare, so if you're in a hurry, plan accordingly or save your visit for when you have more time.

Shockingly bad. Ordered decaf latte. After taking a few sips I had to ask if I had actually got what i ordered. It was watery and smelled/tasted nothing like coffee. I asked the barista to taste it and tell me that this is what it is supposed to taste like. He said it is just "decaf" which is ridiculous as i drink decaf every day, both in cafes and at home. He did make me another one which again was just hot water that had the smallest hint of coffee. I have a feeling extremely old beans might be an issue but either way it was awful. The café itself was nice to sit in, but the "coffee" was just lacking. Shocking experience and an utter waste of money. I wish I had asked for my money back
