Sweetest tiny cafe with wonderful service, great cappuccino (good and strong), a very moist & tasty chocolate walnut gf & vegan muffin and per my daughter, the best French toast!

Really lovely staff and delicious coffee! My grandma forgot her favorite glasses there yesterday, they kept them safe and had them ready for me to pick up when I came looking the next morning. Everyone behind the counter was really kind and greeted people with a smile, there’s a great pastry/snack selection, and the espresso was some of the best I’ve had in NYC this summer. Highly recommend!

Tiny place but excellent coffee and pastries. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Also generous avocado toast.

Best avocado toast I've had. Generous avocado, perfect egg. No cilantro microgreens BS, just simple seasoning. Delicious! Great coffee too and super nice people working here.

Very nice, cosy place for breakfast, with very nice staff and tasty sourdough bread sandwiches. I definitely recommend!

I had a flat white and avo on toast nearly every day I was here. This place is run by super kind, friendly people. They make a well reviewed flat white (Aussie style), which is why I flagged them to visit before I even got to NYC. Even the regulars who come here are lovely. I highly recommend a visit 👌

Lucid Café is a delightful spot on Lexington Avenue in New York, perfect for chai latte enthusiasts. Their signature chai latte is a standout—rich, perfectly spiced, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness if requested. The café's ambiance is cozy and inviting, with minimalist decor and friendly staff that make you feel right at home. Alongside their excellent chai, Lucid offers a range of other coffee options and delicious pastries that are freshly baked and pair perfectly with their drinks. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to work or a cozy corner to relax, Lucid is a must-visit.

A charming little coffee shop with friendly greeting and kind service. The espresso is a bright, lighter roast with acidity. Very good almond croissants.

Dropped by for an early morning espresso to start off the day. Super cozy cafe with a warm ambiance and homey vibes. The espresso was well extracted and tasty, exactly as I hoped when I walked in. The only thing to watch out for it for is the $5 card minimum.

Kind staff. Outdoor seating for 8. Really good espresso and lattes here. Small shop that many locals come for coffee. Never tried the food but coffee is top notch.

Such a sweet small and cozy coffeeshop to grab and go near gran central. Indoor seating is not available but there are two small chairs outside . I had the Vermont maple latte with oat milk and loved it. They had some gf and vegan pastries but I didn’t get the chance to try them. Definitely will come back.

Lucid cafe is a warm refuge on a cold New York day. I wandered into the cafe to escape the cold and noise of December traffic, and was welcomed with a cozy, quiet, intimate atmosphere. Dark wooden benches and counters, hand-strung decorations, and a cute window booth comprise the entirety of the shop. The barista is friendly, and takes her time with each order, lovingly pouring and stirring each ingredient. Definitely an intimate spot, and worth bringing a close friend for some quiet conversations.

Wanted to try this place for a while and I'm glad I did. Yes, the space is small but the smiles are big. The iced coffee is better than most because it still had the acidic bite that's one whole reason to drink coffee. Very courteous service for each of their many morning customers. Will be back when in Murray Hill.

Small, rustic coffee shop that serves Counter Culture Coffee beans. I got their latte (wanted a flat white but didn't meet their $5 minimum credit card requirement). Latte was good and they had a decent pastry selection.
