Very average coffee shop. Will fill the need if you are close or staying at the hotel, but not a coffee shop to seek out. Only a couple seats in the place, so not a spot to work if you are looking for that. It's a grab and go spot. They typically have croissants and cookies and banana bread or something similar. None of it is fresh or made in house. It's fine if you need caffeine. A Thai iced coffee and chocolate croissant cost me $11 with tax. Seems about right for Ny.

Best Iced Mocha I’ve had in all the boroughs.

My daughter thought the soy matcha was the best she’s ever had, and my husband thought the Vietnamese was perfect. My younger daughter thought the banana bread was pretty good as well. Service is kind and quick, seating is indoor/outdoor, but have to get lucky to snag a spot.

Outstanding coffee, and a great vibe inside. The place doubles as a saki bar at night with multiple Japanese food options available. The pastry selection is made fresh daily, and if matcha is more your speed they have ceremonial grade matcha available. Definitely visit here if you have time!

Fortunately, there is such a young and elegant coffee shop opposite the hotel. The delicious coffee and the rich milky croissant won me over. After that, I would sit here early every morning to relieve the pain of jet lag.

Good vibes, hipster feel, but used to be better when the space was more expansive, had couches, and wasn’t so packed. This is a staple coffee shop of LES, but risks being overcrowded, a grab and go spot, and quite honestly a bit high on the hype train. The drip coffee is decent, but a bit over roasted: a medium to dark roast that they probably called a medium roast. It’s drinkable, but not the most delightful. If you’re lucky to get seating, then you might enjoy a nice work spot for a couple hours, but if you’re looking for a couple spots to converse with a friend, then look elsewhere: you’ll be a bit crowded, and a bit wishing a spot to sit. Coffee . Everything else . Overall .

Great coffee, fast service, not a lot of seating tho, more a to go spot. There's outdoor seating available though.

One of my most favorite coffee shops in the world. Right in the heart of lower east side, one the best neighborhoods in the world. I’ve been coming here for years. Great coffee, great people watching, great history. It’s also connected with Sweet Chick, which is famous for its chicken and waffles.

Tried their flat white and it was powerful and smooth. Would go again.
Decent coffee shop in the LES. There are about 10 seats inside, but some outside seating as well. A lot of empty standing space though, which felt a bit underutilized lol. Very quiet inside though - both in terms of chatter and music. Not sure if they have wifi, but there were people working with laptops. Coffee was decent, nothing special. Got a maple latte for $6, but couldn't taste any maple in it so that was a tad disappointing. It tasted just like my friend's regular latte.

A nice urban vibe coffee shop in Lower East Side. The aesthetic here is very moody yet warm and inviting. The baristas were nice and the line moved quickly.I ordered just a drip coffee and it tasted pretty good considering it was about the same price as a Starbucks and not overpriced like other places. The coffee was smooth without being too bitter or sour.Location is super close to other landmarks nearby like the popular restaurants. I could see this being a regular go-to for those living nearby.
