Lively little locally owned coffee shop. Bakes its own pastries, and has its espresso blend and coffee blend coffee custom roasted in New Jersey. Yes, that’s not an off-Broadway punch line, even though it sounds like one.
Kathy Terrill- I Love To Be Selling

As a small business owner myself, I strive to make purchases from small businesses in NYC and not large chains.
Frisson is a TERRIFIC small business coffee shop. There coffee is flat out AMAZING. The owner explained to me the careful process he uses to purchase beans, which come form another small business in Brooklyn.
I work from home as an eBay seller and selling consultant, so I like to step away from my desk several times a day, and stopping by Frisson is a favorite destination.
I've had their cappuccino, lattes, hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies. All terrific.
I've had children with me for a few visits, as they love Frisson hot chocolate. The staff is SUPERB with kids. I mention this as not all Manhattan eateries are the greatest with kids,
Seating is available but very limited. But that being said, the few times I've met seller friends for a coffee we've always been able to grab a seat. Our favorite table is the one right by the window. There is also 1 table with two chairs right outside.
When you're in the area, stop by. It's well worth it. You will not be dissapointed!
I had Frisson espresso saved on my places to try for the longest time and finally I tried it out. A quick walk from the times square this little coffee place has great coffee and the baristas here are amazing! A great conversation while brewing an amazing cup of coffee.
If you love art on your coffees they are artistic and will make you some great coffee art.
Not a lot of places spend time doing so.
Great coffee! Great art! Great barista!
Nice little coffee shop, with just plain good coffee. Nothing fancy with quick service. The ham & cheese croissant was nicely warmed up and very flaky. Ham was a bit on the salty side but it's ham.
This is the cutest little coffee shop and their coffee is amazing! We came here three days straight during our NYC trip and loved it so much. Would highly recommend the hazlenut latte. Oh and they do amazing latte art and the staff is very friendly too!
Amazing place! Very tiny and small, but.. AWESOME COFFE and very FRIENDLY! Stylish and great vibes. Unfortunately, no customer restrooms. Hidden little gem✨
Got an oat milk latte. The coffee flavor was great. The milk was not steamed uniformly though. Still a good coffee shop to visit.
The cafe is named after the French word "frisson" which means "thrill" and refers to the thrill you get when you get your coffee.
Nice workers and delicious coffee. A bit expensive but probably the norm for the area. The coffee tastes really good :)
Had a lovely vanilla latte. The service was great and the espresso was smooth. I’d recommend this spot. My latte had the perfect amount of vanilla flavor without being sweet.
Coffee is delicious which is what you want for your quaint neighborhood coffee shop! It is small, so don’t expect a seat. Food is good. Staff were super friendly and enjoyable
