I just adore this cafe! Great food and coffee and a really lovely atmosphere with kind and pleasant service—love it here!
The matcha latte was delicious 🤤 Also, I can't believe that I ran into Gotham Chess, so that's the highlight of coming here. I didn't expect to see him while studying for the C1 French exam this June. It's a treat coming here after being at the library for more than an hour.

I've stopped twice on my way to work and got a large black drip coffee. It was excellent - clean, fresh, hot. What more could you ask for?

Espresso was ready in a quick amount of time. Perfect for me when I’m on the run for work. Definitely coming back. The woman at the front was nice too.

This is the first place I visited in NYC and it definitely set a good tone for my trip. The staff were friendly, the coffee was great, and the vibes of the shop were very comfy. Offers a nice view of the neighborhood. The ability to charge my phone was a plus as well! I definitely recommend anyone in the West Village to stop by.
Kind service, quiet and aesthetic place to go get work done and grab a coffee! Serval places to sit.
I had the rocket fuel coffee and I highly recommend to those that like a strong bold coffee! It’s creamy and bold, PERFECT! 👌🏼 I also had their plain croissant and it was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside = perfect. I will be back!

It’s a quiet and lovely spot to get some work done! I like that the music was on low volume.
The Rocket Fuel coffee was fantastic, as well as their cappuccino and almond and chocolate croissants.

I visited Amano Café and ordered a matcha latte and an iced latte. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy the matcha latte it didn’t taste very good, and the matcha itself seemed to be of low quality. I had asked for honey as a sweetener, but they gave me syrup instead, which was disappointing.
They also had some gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free pastries, which initially caught my interest. However, the ingredients weren’t listed, so I politely asked what they were sweetened with since I try to avoid processed sugars. The barista, a man, seemed annoyed by the question and responded with attitude, saying they used coconut sugar.
Overall, between the poor drink quality and the lack of courteous customer service, I don’t think I would return to this café

Amano is worth the visit for three reasons. The first, its impeccable location. Just steps from west fourth and in the heart of the Village, the cast of characters is never short of show stopping and the conversations are enlightening to say the least. The second— bangin’ coffee. But thirdly, and most importantly, the staff. What a homey and welcoming atmosphere, where you can come and kiki with the best of them. Some are charming and chill, topped with baseball caps and ready with an easy laugh. And others, especially the dark haired, iconic, gothic gift of a girl that works weekdays, weekends and probably leap days, is the life of the party and heart of the shop. I can’t tell you how many people she makes laugh when she hands them their coffee with a compliment (when deserved). I know more than one happy customer who comes in just for her and her baseball-capped coworker, myself included.
The only strange thing— she’s obsessed with Lena Dunham. Apparently she even has a fan page! But I can’t begrudge her a popular preference. A local New Yorker like her can always find the best in a person— and make the best of a coffee shop.

I kept ordering their Açaí and Pitaya bowls, which are objectively the best, but the service is so consistently terrible I’m done ordering there. More than 50% of the time when I come to pick up my order they didn’t see it and I have to wait 30min+ for them to make it on the spot, or they’re unable to make it and cancel it without me getting a notification. They don’t even offer to honor the discounts I ordered with, and refunds take 2+ weeks.
