“Amazing atmosphere and great coffee as usual. I’ve been to the San Juan location and a few others in the city and as usual they go above and beyond when setting the standard and providing a quality service . Big shout out to JP for making my rum coquito perfect“

“Went to the brand new Houston location and things are a bit rocky with staffing and supplies but I want to brag on your employee CAMILLA ! We came from NC and after visiting Puerto Rico several times I was so excited for this experience! She was so patient with us! Answered all our questions with a very helpful and cheerful attitude even tho she was drowning in drink orders! With only one other helper, she never showed any frustration and provided excellent above and beyond customer service! The cashier with her was brand new and super sweet as well! Camilla even gave me a hug when we left! She made my whole morning! And gave us the absolute best breakfast recommendation as well! Thank u so much Camilla for your grace and kindness this morning. U had no idea that my Morning started out so crappy, and your sweet personality and loving spirit really turned my day around and the tres leches latte was AMAZING 🙌🏼🩷💯 yall go see them and be patient …..it’s worth the wait ❤️ side note… the whole place is decorated beautifully! Love the swings ✅“

“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“

“The great concept of sustainability. Looking forward for our future.“

“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!“

“Went bakery hopping that day. by far it has the best croissant. Even saved one for the next day, toasted it and tasted just as good. Staff was friendly too.“

“If you want a small, healthy snack and a good coffee, this is the place. Very good choices of music and friendly service as well, especialy Charlie. I usually come at closing and he is so good at cleaning and making things pristine.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“One of the best coffee ive had during the NYC trip. The taste note was solid and clear not just plain bitter nothing. You can taste the tastenote as described. The staffs were also friendly and hospitable. There were also various of beans to choose from“

“support the bzrrio by supporting the local businesses and not the Stsrbuck types“

“Excellent coffee!! Excellent service !!!“

“My new favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood. James, who owns and operates the shop, is very friendly and pulls an incredibly smooth espresso shot. His cortados and cappuccinos are top notch and the beans are high quality. The inside is cute with chill vibes. A nice antidote to the many venture capital backed chains that dot Manhattan. A true neighborhood gem.“

“el iced dirty horchata with super rico.😋😋“

“It's fantastic to have a coffee shop where the owners take care to buy top quality, organic, fair trade beans which they roast themselves on-site. The staff are fabulous and really know what they're doing.“

“Starbucks Reserve Roastery New York is a completely different experience from a regular Starbucks — it feels more like a coffee theater. The space is huge, beautifully designed, and filled with the sounds and aromas of fresh coffee roasting right in front of you.

Watching the roasting process, the copper details, and the open bars on multiple levels makes the visit immersive and exciting. You don’t just drink coffee here — you experience how it’s made, from bean to cup.

The coffee selection is excellent, with rare Reserve beans and creative drinks you won’t find in standard locations. Everything is crafted with care, and the quality really stands out. The food is also surprisingly good and pairs perfectly with the drinks.

Despite how busy it gets, the atmosphere remains vibrant and inspiring — a great place to take a break, meet friends, or simply enjoy being surrounded by craftsmanship and design.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in New York, especially if you appreciate coffee, architecture, and unique urban spaces.“

“Always stop in here when I'm in NY. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Coffee is always good. There's always someone who gets the Pistachio milk and loves it. This last time tried the hot chocolate but was not my favorite. I prefer the more european style drinking chocolate. However, any and all the coffee drinks have never disappointed. Hope to keep returning!“

“Buen café y gran sabor del bagel tostado.“

“Devoción on Lexington Ave is truly a standout coffee shop in NYC. The space is always inviting, the energy is warm, and the coffee—freshly roasted and full of character—is consistently exceptional.

I especially want to shout out Jamel “Mel”, one of the baristas who makes every visit memorable. Mel is incredibly welcoming, attentive, and has a genuine passion for great coffee. He takes the time to walk you through the menu, offers thoughtful recommendations, and prepares every drink with real care. You can feel the pride he puts into his craft, and it shows in every cup.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso, settling in with a pour-over, or trying something new, Mel and the entire team make Devoción feel like more than just a café—it’s an experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Definitely a great tasting coffee. It really packs a punch.“

“Great coffee and food, but a weird place to spend any amount of time to do work or meet a friend - I was there on a Monday afternoon and maybe that's not the best time, as there was literal construction going on, and they left a door open for like 25 minutes while deliveries were coming in, so it got very cold.“

“Our club placed a large coffee order in advance and the manager Ray could not have been more accommodating. The order was ready right on time with a very generous amount of condiments: regular and fat free milk and supplies: cups, stirrers, sugar, sweeteners and napkins. I made a second visit to confirm the order and Ray greeted me by name after having only met me once. I was extremely impressed with the outstanding customer service. Although I am not a coffee drinker myself, the coffee also got rave reviews. The prices are also very reasonable and fair.“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“Best coffee in NYC.. strong and delicious“

“Dropped in to the Chelsea location 2 weeks ago while vacationing in NYC. Great coffee, great atmosphere, great price. What’s not to like?“

“My favorite white chocolate mocha + peaceful place to sit 🤍 the owner is such a sweet soul, and this is such a gem of a coffee shop!“

“I’m from Michigan & my husband found this coffee company online. We ordered it & it’s so smooth & delicious. So when I planned a trip to NY to see my favorite band perform twice over the weekend, I bet I made a trip to see them in person & stock up. Highly recommend Gotham Coffee if in town or to order online & ship to your home. Diner Coffee is perfect when you just need a great cup of Joe!“

“Wonderful iced latte! lovely staff, delish little breads and donuts.“

“Anna and Salem we're amazing, I'm a newbie in coffee but ended enjoying a delicious espresso. The passion and menu knowledge they showed inspired me to try their Black sesame matcha that was also delicious and perfectly balanced. Will def be back!!!“

“If i could give this place 6 stars I would. The coffee is wonderful, as are their non-coffee drinks (matcha, pandan lattes). There's wifi and clean toilets at this location.

The best part of this shop is by far the staff. They often give me free stamps on my stamp card, let me use my own takeout mug and (the rare time I've brought my dog) given treats to my dog.

I'm proud to call myself a regular! This place ROCKS.“

“Birch on 7th Ave and 14th street is my fave spot to get my afternoon skinny flat white during our class break at Pratt. The crew there is always great and I love the tip jar questions. Hang in there dear Birch! Looking forward to seeing you all again when we’re through this.“

“My neighborhood go to. Consistently great coffee, music playlist, and cheerfully attentive baristas. The only challenge is the small size of the café itself.“

“I pop in most mornings to pick up a brew, and a visit to Joe's Chelsea is part of my routine thanks to the great service and friendly neighborhood atmosphere. Jacob, Richard and the team do a great job of creating a sense of community in the store, they know regulars orders, names, and what's going on in our worlds and make time to talk while always keeping the line moving efficiently. Having a quick chat with their friendly faces in the morning is a nice way to start the day before braving the subway!“

“Super good prices, good coffee, a milk and syrup station so you can do all yourself, outlets, AND open late. Genuinely the best all around nyc coffee chain. Why I haven’t heard as many people rave about variety online is beyond me. LOVE it!“

“Stumptown in the Village is easily one of the best coffee spots in the city, and a huge part of that is Lauren, the manager. It’s a busy location and she truly never stops moving. You’ll see her handling a dozen things at once, but it never takes away from the care she gives customers. She somehow manages to run the shop flawlessly and still make time to greet people, solve problems, or just make someone’s day.

The whole team is awesome. It makes a huge difference at these types of spots to have great staff. But I still can’t say enough about how great Lauren makes this place. It’s a completely different vibe when she’s not here. Never bad, but just not quite as special.“

“Great cappuccino and almond croissant 🥐“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“This Joe Coffee was tucked around near Track 11 / Greybar passage, so the best part avoids the big lines and rush in any other coffee shop. My large latte, 12 oz (which I'm glad the barista showed me for no surprises), was $6, which I'll usually make an exception for when time is precious and taste was good. Enjoy!“

“I had a situation where I ordered a drink and didn’t communicate properly because I was in a rush and ended up not liking it when I got to work. I went back to them and let them know about my drink mishap and they made me a new drink for free no questions asked. Exemplary customer service and a really nice staff. They are always willing to try a new drink with you if you don’t know what you want or don’t have something in mind. Thank you Joe’s for amazing service !! ❤️❤️“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“Brooklyn Roasting Company has become my go-to coffee spot. Their brews are rich, smooth, and never bitter. The baristas are friendly and quick, which makes my morning routine so much easier.“

“When you travel to NYC, particularly Manhattan, either on business or as a tourist, you don't think of eating healthy. However, there are now several Whole Foods in Manhattan. They offer what other Whole foods across the country offer, a wide variety of healthy (as well as not-so-healthy) foods. Since this grocery store is in NYC, they have thrown in a NYC touch: the check-out line for self-checkout is really complicated. You wait in a long line and look for the color code of the line in which you are standing......... it takes a while to get used to it, but it is no doubt intended to deal with the store's being packed during certain hours of the day. Prices are relatively high, but this is NYC so that is to be expected.“

“First time trying this coffee, I think I’m in love. Always take coffee bushcrafting this in my new favorite!“

“This Nespresso location is by far my most favorite. All the staff are so lovely and friendly. I love that they’re always happy to brew the latest coffee for me to try. Andrew is very knowledgeable and helpful if I need help deciding on what flavors to try next. Jessenia is so sweet and always has a smile on her face. Mark has the best British accent ever and is so wonderful to talk to. I’m always looking forward to visiting this location and usually leave with many more coffee sleeves than I planned for. Best Nespresso team ever.“

“An awesome place with lots of selections. Look for the 365 label of products, they are VERY affordable,so if you're a senior like me you will be able to afford the healthy food here with this name brand. They have three floors, and a public bathroom which always has a long line like a discotheque, but you can use it if you're in the Union square vicinity without any hassle.“

“Great offerings, knowledge and service. There’s a great variety of high quality beverages served here. Look at what’s on the menu. I want to sign up for some of their classes too and really dive deep into their knowledge and skill. We only had coffee and hojicha so I can’t speak to any food, but I presume they bring the same level of quality to that as well.“

“S/O to the Baristas at Joe Coffee Company in Chelsea, my favorite coffee shop! Great service and positive vibes. I tried the MISO Butter Brown Latte recently - interesting taste and delightful flavoring. My overall fav is my usual Vanilla/Caramel Latte w/ almond milk. Cheers🫰🏽“

“Found this gem just across from our hotel on 45th NYC, delightful delicious cappuccino! Definitely make this one of your stops when you are in NYC.“

“Perfect setting for long conversation over coffee. Interior is cozy , awesome and tasteful.Lots of varieties of coffee, shakes . We took a cappuccino and cold coffee. Both were great. Paid about $11 for 2 large coffees.Overall lil expensive than Starbucks. But, worth it.“

“First time trying this coffee, I think I’m in love. Always take coffee bushcrafting this in my new favorite!“
