“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.“

“Okay nothing was wrong with the coffee it was a 10/10 iced horchata latte with oat milk and the coffee kicked!
But the cafe itself needs a bit of housecleaning. So many flies just hovering inside and the cafe needs some bg music and might help with overall liveliness of the decor.“

“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.❤️❤️❤️❤️“

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

“Solid State Coffee is my secret go-to after the American Museum of Natural History with kids. It can get crowded, but the line moves fast, which matters a lot when you’re operating on museum-level child energy.

What keeps me coming back is that both the coffee and the food are genuinely very good. This is not just a “parents in survival mode” stop. The menu has real range: solid savory options for adults, including lighter choices like avocado toast and a super grain bowl, plus easy kid fuel like tomato soup, grilled cheese, buns, and hot cocoa. Their syrniki are my personal favorite — baked farmer’s cheese patties served with strawberry jam and whipped labneh — and they manage to feel both comforting and protein-packed. 

The café is on West 71st Street and is open daily from 7 AM to 4 PM, which makes it especially convenient for a breakfast, lunch, or post-museum reset. The company also roasts thoughtfully curated, ethically sourced coffee in small batches, which tracks with how carefully everything tastes. 

A rare family stop that actually works for everyone: good coffee for adults, real food for kids, and no unnecessary chaos.“

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

“Excellent coffee!! Excellent service !!!“

“An unassuming neighborhood coffee shop that is actually sm more. They reallyyyyyy get it right with sourcing beans, making their own delicious syrups, providing cozy and friendly service. Also - this season they have a rainbow cookie latte? Incredible. I’m so glad to pass them on my daily commute.“

“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.“

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

“During my 6-day trip to NYC, Isaiah Fernandez made my latte every morning, and he truly made each visit special. He brings such positive energy to his work and genuinely seems to love what he does and the connections he creates with customers.

Getting my coffee from Isaiah became one of the highlights of my trip. His friendly attitude, consistency, and enthusiasm made every morning a little better. Thank you, Isaiah, for the wonderful experience—I can’t wait to come back on my next visit to New York! ☕️✨“

“The best coffee I’ve ever had tbh. And I’ve become a bit of a coffee snob.
I usually get an oat cortado with oat milk.

Their treats are good as well.
WiFi is available with a receipt for up one or two hours.“

“muy buen café y ambiente“

“Buen café y gran sabor del bagel tostado.“

“Italian coffeeshop with a Brooklyn-vibe. They serve the common array of espresso drinks and a few Moka pot brews. The napoleatana and the cafe siciliana were both great moka brews in their own right: the former was a solid, traditional but almost medium Italian coffee, while the latter was lighter due to the oat milk. Their coffee is self-roasted different profiles than what you’ll find in Italian coffeeshops in West village. I recommend checking this shop out and trying the moka brews.“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“Best coffee in NYC.. strong and delicious“

“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!“

“A small but might shop! My colleagues recommended Blackstone and I have been getting coffee here almost every morning! Not only is the coffee GOOD, but the staff are the NICEST, warmest people behind the counter. This attentive and welcoming vibe makes all the difference, unlike some coffee shops in the neighborhood. They know my order and preferences, the egg salad is delicious, the wraps are plentiful, and they're quick, too! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Stepping into Stumptown feels like being welcomed into a space that values substance over showiness. It carries a sense of confident simplicity exposed brick walls, textured wood tables, and open counter space that draws your attention to the ritual of coffee.

The coffee itself is the real protagonist here full-bodied and nuanced, never bitter. Whether you go for a classic espresso or something poured over deliberately, every cup feels intentional yet approachable.

What really sticks is the energy: relaxed but purposeful. Conversations flow easily, rhythms are unhurried, and the staff exudes genuine warmth without overdoing it. It's the kind of place where even a solo moment reading, working, just being doesn’t feel lonely.

If you're after a café that respects your time and your taste, while creating a low-key space you can return to, Stumptown delivers with strong character and subtle charm.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in the city! Drinks are amazing! I've gotten a different drink each time and have enjoyed each one! The staff is great, very kind, and you can tell that they really care about their customers! Also a good atmosphere to study or do work! I highly recommend this place!“

“Been here twice, the place is so cute and the coffee incredible! Had a decaf dirty chai my first go, then a lemonade. Both were fantastic!! If you prefer less sugar ask for it without & there’s a little area for you to add your own how you like (honey, vanilla syrup, granular sugar, & one other I don’t know). The staff were so sweet, it’s definitely a queer-friendly spot. If you work from home it’s great for remote work, though get here early (or wait a bit) for a seat. Or just ask to share a table!“

“Toby's Estate is a well-known specialty coffee spot serving expertly roasted beans and consistently high-quality brews. The coffee is smooth, balanced, and crafted with care. The space is modern and inviting, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a proper coffee. A reliable choice for coffee lovers in NYC.“

“Pretty environment! The staffs were very friendly!“

“I’d been waiting 10 years to visit this café; I’d dreamed about it for a very, very long time back home in Europe. Finally, I stopped by, ordered some cookies and coffee, sat back, and took in the atmosphere. It was great. It met all my expectations, and as a coffee lover, I really enjoyed myself there.“

“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 !! ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“I get 2 cups of matcha every morning at Joe’s. The workers are always friendly and professional. The atmosphere and environment is relaxing and comfortable. After a few cups of Matcha from Joe’s coffee shop I switched from going to Starbucks.“

“Connor was so friendly and made delicious Banana Bread Lattes for my friends and I on our way to the spa. Despite a line and a busy atmosphere, he took our order with a smile and helped us get the right drink. I will definitely stop by every time i go to the island!“

“Bonus points for being able to get a large, black coffee without any fuss. The rotating unique brews is a nice touch and it's not overpriced. It's a simple coffee shop that I think is a pretty in the coffee game nowadays. Would def come back“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great cappuccino and almond croissant 🥐“

“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.“

“I have had my eye on this coffee shop since starting working in the area. I finally went to Joe Coffee right after work to get me a cup of Decaf Coffee. Since it was my first time I had many questions and the who worked with me in getting my order young lady Lorraine who was very patient, she answered every question I had to make sure my coffee was perfect. Thank you Miss you g lady Lorraine for getting me the perfect cup of coffee tonight. I will be seeing you again. Your store is a walk across the park from my job.“
