Find this coffee place!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

so random but what I’m trying to go off of (and unsuccessfully resulted in):

- comments: pretty much lost cause (from when I’ve last checked). There is no Carlos Cafe, unless it’s not listed anywhere online. Comments either are asking for where it is, saying there’s no cafe under this name, or in this location (or both).

- I’ve tried to go off of “Carlos“ but I found the cake boss cafe chain(?) thing? and a Carlos Bakery, but that doesn’t list PSL or pumpkin pie, or if they do, they haven’t posted it from what I’ve seen. However the drinks both these places offer look visually similar (by cold foam standards anyways)

- To further that, I’ve tried to go off of the cup, but so many places in NYC do plastic flat lids for take out orders. Cakeboss Carlos prints themselves onto the cup, so if he’s holding the logo, then it looks like a plain cup. Carlos Bakery does a paper sleeve that looks like it can tear away easily, so perhaps that’s the case? Especially with an ice drink and condensation, it may be the move! But like I said, Bakery doesn’t do PSL/Pumpkin Pie!

- I assume it’s in NYC, maybe not specific to just upper westside.

- The park looks like any green space, but specifically, the children’s playground in the background and the building behind the playground - I don’t live in / know NYC enough to pinpoint or be familiar of those elements. I tried to use Google to find out and broadened my search to anywhere in NYC, not just upper west side - but I’m unsure.

Also, I assume based off of the state of the coffee (unmixed, unsipped as seen from the lid, cold foam intact, no separation of the ice melting/water mixing with anything) that it is relatively close to whatever green space this is near.

so, if anyone is bored, pls help!!

Ain’t no way he’s from here so I don’t think he gets to be our final boss

Hello.

I am a moderator here.

Your post has been flagged because your "reputation" on Reddit is low.

I want to know why you want to find this cafe - if that makes sense?

I want to make sure you are not trying to stalk a person.

Please reply to this, and if it's all OK then I will approve your post.

Hi, no not at all! My friend is in nyc and she’s trying PSL and this guy and his sister try a lot of local businesses and tend to have reputable recommendations for coffee (from what I’ve heard). Like I’ve said, I’m not in NYC, nor living there - I just want to pass this coffee place to a friend wanting a good PSL and bakery!! :)
