50 Best Coffee Shops near Manhattan

“First time I can remember having an actual coffee in the USA. A good selection of pastries, only tried one as American size serving but it was as good as it looked. Still had people ordering drinks with oat milk and syrup; but they walk among us. Definitely be back next time I’m in town!“

“This Dunkin location is a wholesome place to go to first thing in the morning before work. It gets terribly busy but the staff are fast, accurate and never forgets to say good morning and thanks. And because I’m a regular they always know what I want. I enjoy my DUNKIN!! And thanks for these new Summer offers …..“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

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

“The beans are flavorful and the flat white wasn’t bitter. I didn’t find the flat white as masterfully crafted as desired on top of paying a premium of $10 for an 8oz flat white. I appreciate and respect the original design of a flat white, which is essentially a more compact latte with smooth, silky milk conjoined with espresso. However this didn’t truly live up to the craft coffee expectations.

Owner took the trouble to explain all latte options though.“

“Perfect brunch experience!! The food was delicious. The live music excellent. Atmosphere was inviting and fun. The bread pudding was the best thing I ate in a long time. Incredible mixture of chocolate, caramel ice cream and of course bread pudding. Highly recommend!“

“I was looking for a place specifically to work on my laptop for a couple hours. This popped to the top of the list. Sweet upstairs loft with good wifi and power outlets. Coffee is excellent, and the treats are great. I walked a few blocks to check it out and totally worth it.“

“Walked past here to avoid the rain. I ordered a hibiscus tea, and it was very refreshing! The seating is comfy and the vibes are chill. Selam and Max were so friendly and welcoming (especially because I don’t drink coffee), they were able to recommend me different drinks without being pushy at all. Thank you guys!“

“From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely cared for. This was my first time visiting, and the experience completely exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were absolutely amazing, but what truly stood out was the level of attention and thoughtfulness we received. Being noticed and having the spelling of my name acknowledged made me feel seen and valued as a guest.

Ariana deserves special recognition—she went above and beyond by customizing both coquito lattes to accommodate my sister’s and my health issues, *without sacrificing flavor at all*. They were hands-down some of the best drinks we’ve had. Her knowledge, care, and exceptional customer service made this experience unforgettable. If anyone deserves a promotion, it’s Ariana!

Will be coming back my next visit to the city“

“My latte. Wow. Amazing. And the ladies were so sweet too!“

“Exceptional eatery! Diner style all the way. Had eggs and corned beef hash with potatoes. Grapefruit juice (tropicana) and took a cinnamon roll with me (the best). Hash was not crispy but LOVELY that way, eggs were done just right, over medium, the heavily buttered rye toast dipped provided excellent yolk dips. Potatoes were abundant, and had morsels of pepper and onion. Ketchup exploded on me a lil..(can't put the bottles in the fridge). However they were attentive and apologetic following the incident.
I made my return for a waffle, the way it had tantalized my nostrils on the previous visit was inspiring of such. Waffle with banana was perfect. Filling, fluffy, crispy, sweet and savory.
p.s. ask for the salsa verde :)
Thank you for providing a wonderful service. Will be returning as able!“

“Delicious coffee with a chill vibe!!! Really friendly and helpful barista! A must stop when in Astoria ☕️❤️“

“Pass by this place on the way often to Astoria Park and so glad I finally stopped in. Got the Moroccan Tagine Special of the day Veal Meatballs w Rice. She recommends to sit down and eat. Phenomenal flavor savory, sweet, super tender meatballs. A must try!“

“Fantastic! Ricardo and the team day in and day out deliver on an exceptional product & experience“

“Other 787 locations always seem crowded or have a line, so I was excited to finally try them at this quieter branch. And I now understand the rave -- I had the Supremo, best coffee I've tasted in a long time, found myself grading the flavor profile almost like it was wine. (And I also see why they don't offer traditional drip -- it's to steer you to a delight like this.)

Service was also great -- the Barista started out treating me like a regular, but was also able to quickly pivot once learning I wasn't one (though that may change). Adaptability like that = skill in my book.“

“Really impressed with the coffee here. The flavor was rich and smooth, and you could tell the beans were good quality. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, and the service was genuinely friendly. Everything felt well done without being pretentious. Definitely one of those places I’d happily return to for another cup.“

“😊 An excellent taste 🙏🙂🍀👍“

“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!)“

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

“Unique space. Great vibe. Vast selection of beverages. Tasty authentic cuisine. Fresh pastries. Five star service. A jewel of Harlem.“

“Best PSL this Texas girl has ever had! 10/10! Thanks barista Johnny for your hospitality and an amazing latte!“

“Cool spot, not the best cappuccino I've had in my life but it was still enjoyable.

It's nice that they have pastel de nata rather than the generic nyc bakery items though I didn't try it.

The staff were friendly and the cup design is also cool.“

“I definitely recommend ! Perfect spot to hangout with family and friends ! Thank you abhi for a very fun weekend“

“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!“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“Amazing place, amazing staff and amazing coffee: word of 💯 Italian!! I simply adored the place🩷“

“My husband and I made the long drive yesterday (2 1/2 hrs each way) from upstate NY to visit our daughter in NYC just for the day. While strolling around her neighborhood we came upon your lovely bakery and cafe and after eyeing the beautiful carrot cake in the window, we had to go in. Carrot cake is my favorite sweet treat. There were so many beautiful choices, but we got 2 slices of carrot cake to take back home with us. After the long drive back home we were really looking forward to a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. I opened one of the beautifully packed boxes, which revealed an enormous slice of yumminess!! The slice was big enough for at least 3 people. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Everything about this cake was phenomenal. The frosting was outstanding, the cake was so flavorful and moist. It was the best we’ve ever had. We have enough left for a few days. I’m so glad we stopped in. It was a great way to end our lovely day in the city and will most certainly go back on our next trek in . I will also have to get our daughter pick up some baked goods when she’s coming home for a visit. I highly recommend Crumbly Cafe & Bakery😊😊“

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

“Best coffee in NYC, I've been a regular for years, and I bring my friends who become regulars, so I have to give it 5 stars! I was introduced to this place by someone so into coffee that he uses Bayesian optimization to roast his own beans. But, I must say, my wife and I were looking forward to the Yuzu Espresso Tonic they had last summer for the whole year and so were really sad they didn't bring it back this summer. In general, the summer drinks this year are mostly without coffee, yet this is a coffee shop! Espresso tonic is only getting more popular with time, and the Yuzu one you all had last year was the best we've ever had. Period. It's a winning combo. It's so good it should be on the regular menu. So please bring it back, especially since you have Yuzu!“

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

“Charlotte Cafe is a dependable favorite. The coffee is always great, the food arrives fresh, and the staff are friendly and prompt. It’s clean, cozy, and reasonably priced.

Thank you & God bless you and your family 😊“

“Had the breakfast burrito 🌯 been wanting to get to this place for a while.

Wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good. The chorizo was the one I went with definitely wasn’t disappointed.

I don’t think it’s worth a far drive but if you’re in the area or it’s not completely out your way it’s definitely worth stopping in for a visit. The place does have seating but not a lot of room. There is a park near by and lots of outdoor seating near the area. That’s what I chose to do.

The breakfast burrito price was amazing especially for nyc the food was good quality and really delicious. The sauce everyone was talking about wasn’t over powering. Matter of fact I wish I had more next time I’ll ask for some on the side felt like I needed an extra pump 😂.

I truly enjoyed this place and I’m sure you guys will also the coffee was mid but it’s ok food makes up for it.

Hope you enjoyed this review like always follow me on IG @imbroke_eats and @imbroke_rob

Hope this helped“

“Found this place online. We ordered chilaquiles con salsa verde , French toast & iced cafe de olla. The place gives a Mexican home style atmosphere. It’s a small space & got busy after 11:30am on a Saturday. We got seated quickly. The chilaquiles were shareable and had a mild spicy. The French Toast was MASSIVE and shareable. The crust was slightly too toasted making it a bit difficult to cut through. The arrangement of fruit was nice tho. They added mango which was a nice touch. The cafe con olla does well iced and definitely has the olla taste. Highly recommend the chilaquiles con steak y salsa verde. The staff were very friendly.“

“This is probably one of the places you would just walk by without noticing it. Yet this would be a mistake.

It’s a great place for a very nice breakfast. The food is excellent, prepared with attention to detail and love, the staff is friendly and attentive. Especially Francesca and Sophie are two lovely young ladies ☺

Definitely one of the best paces for breakfast on the Manhattan financial district!“

“What an easy, laid back place! This was such a good find- I’ll definitely be coming back.

Jonathan was super helpful and gracious- made everyone feel at ease and at home- he answered my litany of questions easily and without judgement;). I fear that all the positive reviews would made this place too busy for me to visit (I like the hide my favorite places) but this one was so unique, it deserves a great review!“

“My Girl Scout troop of newly graduated Ambassadors spent 4 days in NYC and we stayed right next door to Bear Donut. We went there literally every day, sometimes more than once and cannot recommend it enough!! Friendly and helpful staff, delicious donuts, breakfast sandwiches and coffees!!“

“Great atmosphere, being right outside Central Park! Big shoutout to Abel, very attentive and very friendly! Definitely coming back here ✨ Not to mention the great service recieved from Tenzin! All the staff should get a raise for this terrific service 😌“

“Was in New York for the first time. Stumbled across this Bagel shop!! Best Bagels and Cream Cheese in the City!! Wonderful Atmosphere too!!“

“Popped in for a latte (first time) and it was delicious! They were out of almond milk, so the barista recommended I try macadamia... and I'm glad he did! It was very good. Hamlet made the list of neighborhood cafés I would continue to visit.“

“The sweetest owners

I came on a different schedule day and ended up waiting more than an hour for the store to open and the owners were so so sweet about it that I felt like I should apologize instead.

The store is only a few months old but they are nailing it!

I came for the mango sticky rice cheesecake with a super light mochi layer. This tbh was my least favorite as it was too sweet for me. The other cheesecakes though I sampled were amazing I ended up buying two others to take home to freeze, but I ended up eating it all over the weekend. Try interesting flavors like sweet basil and other lovely Asian flavors like ube and taro and black sesame.

Don’t sleep on their drinks either - they’re not too sweet and refreshing.“

“Best coffee in Brooklyn and very nice atmosphere, diggin in Vinyl and having coffee.“

“Holy shit this place has amazing coffee! I’m a bit of a coffee nerd, and this place is great for specialty coffee lovers, or anyone who likes when cafes pay attention to detail.

This place has a wide selection of single origin beans with various processing methods, even cofermented beans. Their espresso is single origin too which I’m a huge fan of. I got the flight with two espresso and some drip. I ended up walking away with two bags of beans it was that good!

The passion fruit cofermented espresso was amazing, and I really really enjoyed the drip coffee too. Also, their banana bread was electric. It was super flavorful with chocolate and cinnamon.

You’ve gotta check this place out!!“

“Love lt! Very excellent service ❤️“

“One of the best specialty drink cafes I've had in a long time. I visited twice and was recommended the calamansi latte (with macadamia milk) my first time even though I shared I didn't typically like fruit coffee drinks (or acidic leaning coffee in general). However, it was highly recommended by the gal at the register and now I'm a convert!

I went back for a pandan matcha latte to try out another drink and it's one of the best I've had.

I'm grateful they use real ingredients (such as the pandan and calamansi) because I hate artificial syrups. Will definitely be coming back when I can!“
