Excellent coffee and best cookies in the city! Baristas know what they’re doing, service is quick, and single origin specialty coffee is a bonus!
While visiting NYC, we wanted to support local businesses. My iced coffee tasted like dirty sink water. My fiancée's coffee looked very light right out of the dispenser and she asked the cashier if that was normal. The cashier said she just brewed it and suggested an Americano.
Usually coffee shops should smell like coffee, this location smelled like cookies.
We did get vouchers for 2 free cookies and they both delicious!
The 2nd cashier was much friendlier...read full review

Culture 36 offers a range of drinks and cookies that guests praise. The matcha latte is a standout, and the hot chocolate topped with thick, decadent whipped cream provides ultimate comfort in a cup. The oatmeal raisin cookie is perfectly substantial and chewy, packed with oats and plump raisins for a hearty bite. Cookies are the real star: the peanut butter cookie, chocolate chip cookie, strawberry white chocolate cookie, korn cookie, and black & white cookie all receive high marks. Service is friendly and fast, and the coffee—whether cold brew, latte, or flat white—has smooth flavor. The flat white is delicious, balanced, and smooth, and adding maple makes it so damn good. Espresso shots can be under‑extracted with sharp, acidic flavor, but most drinks are solid and standard. The shop is cute, quaint, with an adequate amount of seating, and offers free wifi. Overall, Culture 36 is a must‑visit spot for anyone with a sweet tooth or a need for a quick reset.
