Specialty coffeeshop in the financial district with lots of interesting and award winning coffees to try. They roast the beans themselves. The owners are incredibly welcoming, love nerding out over coffee, and are very receptive to feedback. Give their pourovers a go.

Nice large space , staff is has good coffee knowledge and are quite friendly. The selection of Specialty Coffees is impressive. I tasted several excellent coffees. Their baked goods are great too. I will be back soon for sure and recommend if you are in Wall St area to stop by. They also have a restroom for customers . .

Bean & Bean has upped their game, and roasting some incredible coffees that are Cup of Excellence winners from various Latin American producers. Rachel and Jiyoo Han, the mother-daughter co-owners, are also both Q Graders. If you see either of them in the shop, they are very friendly and happy to talk about coffee with you!

Formerly a mass-market coffee operation, Bean & Bean now purchases a lot of expensive auction lots and COEs (Cup of Excellence) and roasts them lighter than they previously did.
They've recently upgraded all of the equipment at the Wall St location to better serve the specialty coffee customer. While the cafe itself is a little institutional looking, the service is friendly and capable.
In addition to the standard coffee repertoire, Bean & Bean serves a wide-ranging pourover menu that includes some exceptional coffees, priced appropriately for the sourcing.

Bean & Bean has long been a reliable spot in the neighborhood to grab coffee, but in recent years it has also become a speciality coffee and culinary destination for the Financial District. They have plenty of seats and high-quality baked goods in addition to single-origin pour overs (in addition to their standard drinks menu). Hospitality and service are also lovely. And locally owned! Whether you work in the area or are just visiting, I highly recommend stopping by!

Coffee was hands down one of the freshest cups of coffee I’ve had in a while. Seating could be a little more comfortable. Would recommend.

Good location, nice space, great pastries. Coffee was burnt, and ice latte ended up costing $7 though this is not stated anywhere on the menu
Really great coffee when you have to go to the Liberty Statue or the 9/11 memorial.

Listen... this is the best coffee shop in lower Manhattan. Jaime (sp?) and Oli made my iced caramel latte the first day we visited and I made a special trip to come back from midtown if that tells you anything. Friendly, kind and efficient.
Food and coffee are great. Loved the iced caramel latte! The A/C is blasting and a welcome retreat from the muggy heat while walking around to see this amazing city.
Jamie and Oli-- thanks for the conversation and excellent treat.

☕️💬 Bean & Bean – Had potential, but didn’t quite warm our hearts
Today my husband and I were walking through the Financial District 🏙️, enjoying the day, and looking for a quiet place to take a break and have a coffee. We found Bean & Bean, and while it looked promising from the outside — simple, a bit nostalgic — the experience inside left us feeling a bit disappointed.
When we walked in, the first thing we noticed was how old and untouched everything felt — from the front doors to the furniture. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and I understand some might call it “vintage charm,” but to us, it felt more like the café hadn’t evolved in years. Even the cups were the most basic takeout kind — no brand, no detail, no personal touch 🥤
We ordered our drinks and took a seat. But then… nothing. ❌ No one asked for a name. ❌ No one explained the pickup process. ❌ No one let us know our coffee was ready.
We just sat there, unsure of what to expect. I eventually went up to ask, and our drinks were already sitting there — cold. No one called us, no one brought them over, and no one checked in. Even though it was clear we were waiting.
It may sound small, but these moments matter. When you go for coffee, especially in a city like New York, you’re often craving not just caffeine — but a little kindness, a bit of energy, some warmth.
The coffee itself? Honestly, forgettable. Just… okay. And that would’ve been fine, if the experience felt more connected. But it didn’t.
💡 So if you’re just grabbing a quick caffeine fix and don’t mind an impersonal vibe, this might do the job. But if you’re looking for atmosphere, care, and attention — you may want to look elsewhere.
