Coffee Project New York | East Village

I’m so bummed to leave this review becuase usually I love this spot when I come to myc. My drink was rushed. Made way too hot which killed the flavors and foam. Even the cup was a mess.

Coffee Project in the East Village is a small, modern spot with a Euro-café vibe (bonus points for the no-laptop policy). Their medium-roast blend—Colombia meets Guatemala—hits a sweet spot: smooth milk-chocolate body with a caramel finish, zero bitterness, and plenty of flavor.

I ordered an almond croissant, and the staff offered to pop it in the oven. It came out crisp outside, soft and fragrant inside—no sogginess. They even let us enjoy a couple of pastries we’d picked up elsewhere at their outdoor table, all with genuine warmth.

Friendly people, thoughtful touches, and a medium roast I’d gladly order again. Perfect coffee-and-pastry stop in the neighborhood.

This is one of the better coffee shops in NYC, especially if you're a fan of pour-over coffee like me—which can be hard to come by here. They offer a nice selection of beans to choose from, and the baristas are skilled at making a great cup. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, plus free Wi-Fi. They also serve light snacks, and credit cards are accepted.

One of the better coffee shops in New York City, especially for pour-over lovers like me. It's not always easy to find a great pour-over in the city, but this place does it right. They offer a nice selection of beans to choose from and the baristas are skilled and consistent. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and free wifi. They also serve small meals.

While there are plenty of spots around, this one truly captures the essence of NYC. With its inviting patio and comfortable seating, it offers a warm, authentic vibe. The espresso drinks are top-notch, and the pastries are just as delightful. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely worth the stroll from the subway.

Fantastic coffee and friendly service! The outdoor seating offers a warm, inviting atmosphere. Begin by tasting the rich espresso, followed by a sip of the velvety foamed milk. Cleanse your palate with the sparkling water, enjoy a crunchy bite of the cookie, and finish with a smooth sip of the completed latte.

Good coffee place. Got their seasonal pandan latte with salted coconut foam. Their coffee was not as flavorful as I was hoping for. The foam did balance the pandan flavoring. It was a good pandan drink but not coffee drink. Service was great and quick.
