Don’t ask for espresso unless you wanna be seriously sassed in front of the entire store. Ordered an iced latte… then I asked the woman at the register if she could add espresso to it, she literally goes “well yeah it’s a latte”. I’m sorry, has the earth spun off its axis? Since when is it unusual for someone to ask for extra espresso? There’s no way that was just a misunderstanding unless she’s entirely slow. The turning of the screen at the end to add gratuity literally sent me into a coma as it would anyone else.

While living in New York for a year, I didn't find many cafes or restaurants, but this place came to mind and I went there several times. It's great for reading or working. I wanted to drink maple latte here, so I came here for a trip down memory lane. Recommended.

I came into Elsewhere Espresso exhausted. These late nights and early mornings of writing Yelp reviews is starting to take its toll.
I came here as opposed to my normal coffee shop, as I need to get more reviews so that I can win another Yelpie. People don't want to talk about it, but a Yelpie is more difficult to get than a Grammy or an Oscar. Winning a Yelpie is war, and war is a full contact sport.
I got my iced americano, and walked out to the covered outdoor patio and locked in.
They have wifi here, which is huge because I get so annoyed when coffee shops don't have it... I mean I get it though, because when I walk into a coffee shop where all the tables are taken by people on laptops and over ear headphones I get so annoyed. The grass is always greener smh.
My americano was S tier and brought me back to life, but honestly I just get it black so how good could it be. I'm no coffee connoisseur.
While I was jamming away at my laptop, crafting a review that will make you laugh, cry, and contemplate your life in under 400 words in hopes to realize this long shot dream of back to back Yelpies, I spotted the only other girl on the patio reading "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain. My kind of people in here.
I will leave you with a quote from the late, great Kobe Bryant:
“Those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when you don’t feel like working, you’re too tired, you don’t want to push yourself, but you do it anyway; that is actually the dream. That’s the dream. It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.”

Wonderful shop that is perfect for a quick stop or to spend time in. I had an amazing London Fog and pastry!

Lowkey the best pumpkin spice latte I’ve ever had. Also loved the open doors.

The best espresso in the east village, possibly NYC. No matter the barista the quality is consistently excellent. I make it a ritual to introduce people to this coffee shop. Side note: try the tahini chocolate chip cookies, they're amazing.

Great espresso, friendly staff, really really good tahini cookies…but they need to make a greater effort to be respectful of other customers: half the time I’m here someone — not be be rude, but it is always a 20-something — whips out their phone amidst a quiet coffee shop where everyone is working or reading, and proceeds to have a pretty disruptive FaceTime conversation. WHY NOT ASK PATRONS TO TAKE IT OUTSIDE, as a gesture to polite customers. Or just hang a sign politely requesting that folks refrain from calls inside. Not much to ask really. But it will never happen, why? Afraid to offend. Don’t be such a judgemental guy! Just chill bro! More likely — afraid to lose customers, because too many younger customers are fragile. Sad but true; just read about it. Sad state of affairs that a simple act of kindness becomes a flashpoint for political divisions. But this is not a singular phenomena; it an epidemic. Just be thoughtful. Mike drop.
One of, if not the, best espresso in the East Village. I almost feel badly for people who left reviews about how good the coffee is as it feels like they missed out on the main event.
