Cafe Lyria

Cafe Lyria is a sceney coffee shop in the lobby of a swanky Soho office building, and they’re serious about their Greek theme. The title screen of Disney’s Hercules plays on loop on a vintage TV, and many of the drinks are modern riffs on Greek coffee shop favorites, like freddo cappuccino and frappes. We like the coffee here a lot, especially the iced Lyria—oatmilk, espresso, and honey shaken over ice. You can get homestyle Greek cookies if you need a little snack. There’s some loungey seating inside, but the crowd tends to spill out onto the sidewalk, where there’s more room to shoot OOTD videos.
