That\u2019s because a full-blown Butterbeer Caf\u00e9 has officially taken over 51 Irving Place, and we can testify that it\u2019s every bit as cozy as a corner of Hogsmeade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We swung by this morning to check it out ourselves. Nestl\u00e9 Coffee-mate has basically turned a Manhattan storefront into a shrine for the Wizarding World to celebrate their new Harry Potter creamer collab. We\u2019re talking comfy seating, house banners, and\u2014 perhaps most importantly\u2014free, and very delicious coffee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">They\u2019re serving up four custom drinks and we tried them all. You\u2019ve got the Salty Owl (a salted caramel Butterbeer latte), the Frosted Phoenix (a cold brew slushie with Butterbeer foam), the Hippogriff Honey (a honey-infused treat with \u201cmagical gold\u201d sugar), and a secret fourth (easter egg) creation for those who know how to ask. The real star of the pop-up, though, is the Butterbeer creamer itself\u2014it effectively hits those classic notes of butterscotch and shortbread without the weird, artificial aftertaste that usually plagues seasonal syrups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you want to check it out yourself, don\u2019t wait. The pop-up is a first-come, first-served situation and it\u2019s only open today and tomorrow (March 27-28). If you\u2019re a Potterhead, it\u2019s certainly worth the trek just for the vibes and not to mention the Instragram-worthy photos.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-324415 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Coffeemate-Harry-Potte.jpg\" alt=\"The new Harry Potter x Coffee-mate creamers take center stage at NYC's Butterbeer Caf\u00e9 pop-up. \u00a9Image Credit: GEEKSPIN\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\"   title=\"A free 'Harry Potter' pop-up is taking over Manhattan this weekend 2\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>The new Harry Potter x Coffee-mate creamers take center stage at NYC\u2019s Butterbeer Caf\u00e9 pop-up. \u00a9Image Credit: GEEKSPIN<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But if you can\u2019t make it to the city, the Butterbeer Coffee-mate bottles are rolling out to grocery stores nationwide this month for around $4.39.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019re near Union Square today, you might notice a line of people who look like they\u2019re waiting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-177473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
