I love this place. Warm and inviting space. You must try the burek.
Very cozy place with great food. The barista was super sweet and accommodating.

This is it. The platonic ideal of a neighborhood coffee shop. Tucked away on a charming side street of the Upper East Side, Picky delivers on its name with flawless execution. In a city full of options, this is a gem where the coffee is as exceptional as the pastries.
The croissants here are truly a marvel. Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, they shatter with a satisfying crackle to reveal a soft, airy, and buttery interior. It's a flaky, layered work of art that feels authentically Parisian. Beyond the classic, their chocolate croissant is decadent and rich without being overwhelmingly sweet.
As for the coffee, treats it with the same reverence as their baked goods. The espresso is robust and expertly pulled, delivering a perfectly balanced cappuccino. If you prefer a simpler brew, their drip coffee is flavorful and never bitter. The baristas are not only friendly but also skilled in their craft, happy to provide recommendations.

Iced matcha had clumps at the bottom and wasn't stirred very well. Interior decor is intriguing but thematically inconsistent -- the peaky blinders and picky barista themes seemingly don't have anything to do with each other other than use the same pb initials. Drip coffee decent. Beans used are Stumptown coffee beans
Rude staff, mediocre coffee, served only in carton cup (the machine is broken today), and still cost 4$. Avoid.
coming from europe their iced latte was kinda strong (felt like a triple shot but also good), not the coziest area or environment though but good for takeaways ☕️
My hubby and I stumbled upon this cozy barista is so enchanting, with excellent service. The Chai Latte is to die for.
Great coffee and atmosphere.
Great !

Nice coffee. And no oppressive music loop constantly playing. I appreciate both.
Best coffee in the area!
