I've been coming to this Ninth Street Espresso location for 11 years now, through an engagement, into a wedding, and into fatherhood. Now my son and I go on Saturday mornings and it's every bit as lovely as it was when I first stepped through the door. I never thought I'd one day say there was somewhere I'd describe as having "2000s charm" but Ninth Street has it: A simple, clean space that isn't sterile, warm wood floors and fixtures, no attempt to pander to the pick-me era of social media.
I love it.

Was wandering around, decided I wanted some coffee. Popped in here on a whim. Everything is very minimal but equally well done. The barista knew what she was talking about. My breve was perfect. One of the best coffee spots I've stumbled upon in years

One of the gems of the East Village -- if you care about a perfectly pulled shot and perfectly steamed milk, this is your spot. I use their signature roast (Alphabet City) for my home espresso machine as well. Add in rotating exhibits by local artists and views onto Tompkins, and you have a 10/10 cafe.

I lived around the corner for a few years and normal girl there was consistently so rude to me. I was always friendly, always tipped. I could tell she was friendly to other regulars. Is that the point of this place? It just would leave me with a pit in my stomach every time I went.

Coffee is great. I like the soothing and relaxing ambience of the place. The staff is very accommodating and customer service is topnotch. Definitely coming back.
The espresso drinks here taste delicious, with no bitterness, and even the brewed coffee tastes fresh.The cookies are worth the trip alone, a cross between a jammy dodger and a pop tart. Small space with bar stools and counters for casual enjoyment, but not suited for long-term sitting. Very close to park to take your brew outdoors.

This is an espresso, you can feel the texture, the strength, and just for a single moment in time do you forget about your woes.

Baristas don’t seem knowledgeable on the beans when I asked questions. My espresso was fine, but overall the place feels lacking (decor, layout, vibe) compared to other spots in EV.

I am new to coffee. Jacob was kind, patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable while helping me choose the best option. I would come back just for the experience He created for me. Thank you Jacob!
Simple and good espresso
