“Stepped in for a coffee, only to be greeted by the most friendliest service. Absolutely loved my rum infused dirty chai Latte. The place itself is great for working and just chill hang outs. windows looking outside to the street and sitting options also outside. Great background music in the cafe. The walnut banana bread is a must try.“

“Stopped here to meet a friend and “wfh” together! The staff was warm and super kind! When seeing that we had been here a while they sent over some water which I found very kind. Skyler and the rest of the team were wonderful! Will definitely be back, and I encourage anyone looking for a place to work or unwind to stop by!“

“great place for breakfast . The coffee was great, i also had Avocado Toast with an Egg. Clean restaurant. huge outside deck.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“I've found my new favorite sandwich spot in the city! The game-changer is their freshly baked, homemade bread - it elevates the entire experience. The coffee is also perfectly crafted, with just the right balance of sugar, almond milk, and rich flavor.

But what truly sets this gem apart is the warm atmosphere and exceptional service. The owner's kindness and hospitality made us feel right at home. She even surprised us with a complimentary treat on our way out!

What impressed me most was her generosity and trust. She encouraged us to enjoy our meal without rushing to pay, showing that she genuinely cares about her customers' experience.

If you're looking for a truly exceptional dining experience, look no further!“

“I tried a coquito latte! Very delicious. Barista was super nice and sweet. They allow you to choose between two coffees for your espresso; I had the “rum”, which is what the barista recommended with the drink I chose. I did not try the food, so I can’t comment on that. Overall experience was great!“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

“I had bypassed 787 for the 4 years I’ve lived in the UES and honestly just stopped by to use the Print4Me printer. While I was there, I decided to get a coffee and WOW - it was amazing! Such fun flavors, high quality coffee, and authentic pastries. I see now why 787 has such a following. I’ll be going back 😊“

“Recently , I stumbled upon seeing Richard Branson in Copper Mug Coffee shop. What a pleasure seeing someone famous like him in my neighborhood coffee shop. Great coffee, with great service and as a bonus you might see someone famous there !!!“

“I recently visited 787 Coffee Shop and had an amazing experience! I ordered a chai tea with oat milk, and it was absolutely perfect—smooth, flavorful, and with just the right balance of spices. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, making the whole atmosphere cozy and inviting. I loved the vibe and the attention to detail in everything, from the decor to the quality of the drinks. This is definitely a spot worth visiting for anyone who appreciates a well-made chai or a warm, relaxed environment. Highly recommend!“

“Have been curious why this place got such high rating so I came here for a one-person brunch on Sat. They really deserve the high rating.

1) coffee: most coffee shops just provide same level coffee as Starbucks, but this place is serious about their coffee beans and provide way better coffee than a Nespresso machine or Starbucks. Def tier 1 of the coffee I’ve tried. Besides, their latte price starts at $4.xx. I’m surprised at the lower price they are offering (vs $6.xx latte elsewhere) with such high quality taste.

2) food and service: I did not get a chance to try their “hot” food as the kitchen was closed 2 mins before I ordered. However the service made the whole experience beyond expectations: a) the waitress apologized for not letting me know the kitchen was closed 2 mins earlier. She did not have to apologize at all as I literally walked in 2 or 3 mins before I ordered - no difference would have been made even if she reminded me, but I appreciated her attitude. b) I saw they have “brioche sandwich” on the menu, knowing kitchen has closed I asked if I can just get a slice of toast. They gave me an exception and allowed me to order a brioche toast, what’s surprising was they also toasted it so it’s way more presentable and tasteful as a food itself. BTW the toast tasted great. And their price is reasonable.

3) very dog friendly: from the second I walked in with my dog, he was welcomed by the waitress. During my whole visit in the coffee shop, no one ever questioned, judged or confronted me.
It’s actually not too common in JC.
I usually would be prepared to answer questions like: “is your dog a service animal? What’s the specially was he trained for? Pls keep your animal on the floor all the time and be prepared to leave if other customers complained”.
Their customers (mostly from near neighborhoods) were also super dog friendly, most of them petted him and smiled at him.

For the 3 reasons above, I will be coming back in the future.“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“Great coffee and ginger juice! Also good pastries!“

“Such a lovely cafe serving up perfectly dialed Sey coffee and delicious breakfast options. The service is warm and welcoming and it is so refreshing to see a cafe filled with people talking to each other rather than filled with laptops. Everything is done with the highest quality and attention to detail and it really pays off.“

“Great lattes and breakfasts that I dream about. Wish they were open longer.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Overall a great coffee place. I always get a mocha, and have 2 mini donuts with it one vanilla crème and one hazelnut. i've also tried 2 of the croissant sandwiches one with prosciutto and the turkey one and both were great- the croissants themselves are really soft and buttery. even though i live a mile away i still walk here every week“

“I am in awe how absolutely incredible the shrimp tacos were. When I was checking out at the restaurant I got a bit of sticker shock on how expensive it was, however it was well worth it. 100% recommend. Fast service and cute neighborhood vibe.“

“The rum infused espresso is to die for… Even as a coffee enthusiast this is not something I’d seen before but it definitely made for a cool experience and made it feel like more than just your typical cafe.

Never been to a coffee shop where the staff are so friendly, genuinely left a bit shocked after having been asked to have our photo taken for the instagram!

We had a couple of the chicken empanadas too and would highly recommend!“

“Excelentes sus comidas, café, jugos y demás.Inmejorable el trato del personal !! Muy buena gente! Encantada de haberlos conocido!!!!“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Seek Coffee is a true find! I stopped in expecting a great coffee, but the baked empanadas were the real surprise. The chicken empanada was soft and warm, with the perfect texture not dry like other places. It was so fresh and flavorful, I couldn’t get enough! Pairing it with their strawberry lemonade was a treat refreshing and just the right touch of sweetness.

The barista was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming vibe that made me feel right at home. Service here is top-notch, and the cozy, inviting space makes it easy to settle in and enjoy. Seek Coffee is a must-visit for great food, drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“Do you love excellent coffee? I mean, like really, really good coffee? Not orange-mocha-frappuccinos? Then go to Buddies. I travel a lot, and one of the best parts of travel is the morning coffee quest. I like cappuccinos with whole milk and no sweetener. And I despise foamy cappuccinos or lattes pretending to be cappuccinos. Buddies is without a doubt the single best cappuccino I drank in 2024. And then I drank it 3 more times just to be sure. And after the 4th one I feel even more certain that Buddies is the greatest. And, Taylor is the nicest, most patient person you will meet all day. My partner accidentally spilled his drink on the counter and Taylor was so kind about it and even made him another drink. If you like good coffee and nice people and small businesses, Buddies is for you!“

“For the Record is a gem. Music for everyone’s taste (and stuff they never imagined!), great beverages, and awesome staff. Lucas is the coolest, most down to earth owner and makes the experience of being there so joyful. 11/10 recommend stopping by, and even more so making it a regular spot! My partner and I have a hard time keeping our record collection tame since we keep coming back!

Dietary restrictions: Great GF options and plenty of non dairy options!“

“Very cute space but quite small. I had the pandan latte. I tend to like my drinks on the sweeter side and so ended up adding some simple syrup (which they had readily available), but the pandan flavor was great. Service was quick and friendly. Seemed like a great place to hang out if you manage to snag a spot.“

“Stephanie, one of the managers of Tkts shop at Times Square, told me about your 'mum & pap' coffeeshop for great coffee and delicious pastry. And she was right! The espresso was STRONG and the croissant-sandwich turkey, bacon and cheese was very nice. The atmosphere was friendly and cosy. Your Frisson franchise is worth the short walk from the theatre district.“

“ambiance, quality of coffee and sandwiches, friendly barista, good location!“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Love their cold brew coffee，If you’re looking for a charming place with a great atmosphere, you can’t pass HI-Collar up.“

“Cutesy little coffee shop bakery that I stumbled upon while in town. Small, quaint, quiet and cutesy. My gf and I ordered a slice of Banana Walnut Bread, Spearmint Hot Tea, Iced Passionfruit Black Tea and Kouign-amann. We were so impressed w the quality, taste and presentation of everything as everything was enjoyable and something we'd definitely purchase again.“

“Great coffee and great staff. Biggest windows in midtown. Beautiful sun in the heart of garment district“

“Don’t miss out on trying their fresh juice ,
appetizers to desserts .Highly recommended!
you’ll love this place! we loved everything we tried. We can’t wait to come back again!

Parking: Easy to find“

“Love lt! Very excellent service ❤️“

“Excellent excellent coffee place.

Very impressed with their coffee set up.
Hi-end.
Result is delicious coffee.
The best in nyc so far...

Love this place.
Needless to say, this is a must visit place for excellent coffee.

Note; They also serve beer, wine cocktails....also fruit tarts and pastries.“

“The place was quite clean, open, and *nice*, but fairly characterless. It looks fantastic for a study group session. There is ample seating. The open windows are probably the best for people watching. But though the chai was tasty, nothing really would make me handle the terrible parking around Dumbo to return.“
