“What a wonderful experience at 787 Coffee! Diana is an absolute sweetheart, and the Coquito Latte is DELICIOUS! This is a top-notch neighborhood coffee shop. I will definitely be returning.

Kid-friendliness: When we walked in, an adorable little girl was out with her mom. Everyone was super friendly!“

“Capuchino Burritos Ensaladas“

“Stepped in for a coffee, only to be greeted by the most friendliest service. Absolutely loved my rum infused dirty chai Latte. The place itself is great for working and just chill hang outs. windows looking outside to the street and sitting options also outside. Great background music in the cafe. The walnut banana bread is a must try.“

“Stopped here to meet a friend and “wfh” together! The staff was warm and super kind! When seeing that we had been here a while they sent over some water which I found very kind. Skyler and the rest of the team were wonderful! Will definitely be back, and I encourage anyone looking for a place to work or unwind to stop by!“

“great place for breakfast . The coffee was great, i also had Avocado Toast with an Egg. Clean restaurant. huge outside deck.“

“I tried a coquito latte! Very delicious. Barista was super nice and sweet. They allow you to choose between two coffees for your espresso; I had the “rum”, which is what the barista recommended with the drink I chose. I did not try the food, so I can’t comment on that. Overall experience was great!“

“This cozy little coffee house is the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle, especially as the seasons change. The aroma of fragrant cardamom fills the air, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. But it's not just the ambiance that's great - the coffee is truly amazing. The friendly staff adds to the charm, making you feel right at home. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone, this place is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back for another coffee break.“

“We come again to our favorite ? place. It was as pleasant as the first time. We try new and delicious dishes like salami sandwich and empana. Of course I have to eat again the egg and spinach sandwich.. it is difficult to describe the flavor .. you have to come and try it to understand how delicious it can be. The drinks are always so good.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian food that you will love.
Best is to ask for recommendation, she knows best.“

“I had bypassed 787 for the 4 years I’ve lived in the UES and honestly just stopped by to use the Print4Me printer. While I was there, I decided to get a coffee and WOW - it was amazing! Such fun flavors, high quality coffee, and authentic pastries. I see now why 787 has such a following. I’ll be going back 😊“

“Recently , I stumbled upon seeing Richard Branson in Copper Mug Coffee shop. What a pleasure seeing someone famous like him in my neighborhood coffee shop. Great coffee, with great service and as a bonus you might see someone famous there !!!“

“Amazing Fresh Onigari (rice balls) & delicious teas! (Cold, Hot, Bubble, No-Bubble) Support a local Mom & Pop shop & get fresh tasty food & drinks — win win win!!! (The line outside moves, one customer/group inside at a time due to COVID, & everything is made fresh to order — your patience will be rewarded!)“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“This cafe is so lovely. I had the pleasure of Desi and Aida assisting me with my order. They made the most delicious soy chai with amazing foam. Their desserts were amazing as well. It was refreshing to be greeted with such positive and friendly energy in New York. I can't wait to come back when I am in the area. Make sure to come to this cafe if you want a lovely experience and great food and drinks!“

“Have been curious why this place got such high rating so I came here for a one-person brunch on Sat. They really deserve the high rating.

1) coffee: most coffee shops just provide same level coffee as Starbucks, but this place is serious about their coffee beans and provide way better coffee than a Nespresso machine or Starbucks. Def tier 1 of the coffee I’ve tried. Besides, their latte price starts at $4.xx. I’m surprised at the lower price they are offering (vs $6.xx latte elsewhere) with such high quality taste.

2) food and service: I did not get a chance to try their “hot” food as the kitchen was closed 2 mins before I ordered. However the service made the whole experience beyond expectations: a) the waitress apologized for not letting me know the kitchen was closed 2 mins earlier. She did not have to apologize at all as I literally walked in 2 or 3 mins before I ordered - no difference would have been made even if she reminded me, but I appreciated her attitude. b) I saw they have “brioche sandwich” on the menu, knowing kitchen has closed I asked if I can just get a slice of toast. They gave me an exception and allowed me to order a brioche toast, what’s surprising was they also toasted it so it’s way more presentable and tasteful as a food itself. BTW the toast tasted great. And their price is reasonable.

3) very dog friendly: from the second I walked in with my dog, he was welcomed by the waitress. During my whole visit in the coffee shop, no one ever questioned, judged or confronted me.
It’s actually not too common in JC.
I usually would be prepared to answer questions like: “is your dog a service animal? What’s the specially was he trained for? Pls keep your animal on the floor all the time and be prepared to leave if other customers complained”.
Their customers (mostly from near neighborhoods) were also super dog friendly, most of them petted him and smiled at him.

For the 3 reasons above, I will be coming back in the future.“

“AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING! The food was absolutely amazing. The flavors, customer service, presentation and overall feel of this place left such a great impact on my friends and I. I literally tried it on Wednesday, and came back with a friend the very next day. My order: Afro Burrito with Chicken; Peanut Stew served over jasmine rice and hot sauce“

“I recently visited 787 Coffee Shop and had an amazing experience! I ordered a chai tea with oat milk, and it was absolutely perfect—smooth, flavorful, and with just the right balance of spices. The baristas were friendly and welcoming, making the whole atmosphere cozy and inviting. I loved the vibe and the attention to detail in everything, from the decor to the quality of the drinks. This is definitely a spot worth visiting for anyone who appreciates a well-made chai or a warm, relaxed environment. Highly recommend!“

“Such a lovely cafe serving up perfectly dialed Sey coffee and delicious breakfast options. The service is warm and welcoming and it is so refreshing to see a cafe filled with people talking to each other rather than filled with laptops. Everything is done with the highest quality and attention to detail and it really pays off.“

“Great lattes and breakfasts that I dream about. Wish they were open longer.“

“excellent et frais 🤩 je recommande !“

“Great place to chill� and enjoy the lovely autumn weather this time of the year! Love This place“

“The rum infused espresso is to die for… Even as a coffee enthusiast this is not something I’d seen before but it definitely made for a cool experience and made it feel like more than just your typical cafe.

Never been to a coffee shop where the staff are so friendly, genuinely left a bit shocked after having been asked to have our photo taken for the instagram!

We had a couple of the chicken empanadas too and would highly recommend!“

“Excellent coffee. I had the batch brew, which was roasted by Regalia.

I think this is the best coffee in midtown - best batch brew at least. Black fox alwaus goes for such high extractions the coffee tastes a little “thin”. This tasted like something in the 1:16-17 range, and had a lovely body & sweetness, in addition to bright clarity.

They have several roasters on retail: Onyx Coffee, Sey, and another I didn’t recognize.

Oh, and the passion fruit curd brioche was excellent as well.“

“Amazing little spot! Been wanting to go but since we live a bit further away from it, haven’t had the chance til today. First off, amazing vibes. The space is tiny so they provided seats outside. Staff is friendly, too!

Got their iced mocha and iced cafe latte - both were phenomenal. I like my coffees sweet but these weren’t sweetened and it was LOVELY.

Tried their plain croissant as well which was phenomenal. The mini vanilla donut was also delicious! Love this spot ?“

“Cozy place just a few feet away for brunch — small menu — but something for everyone. Coffee was superb.“

“For the Record is a gem. Music for everyone’s taste (and stuff they never imagined!), great beverages, and awesome staff. Lucas is the coolest, most down to earth owner and makes the experience of being there so joyful. 11/10 recommend stopping by, and even more so making it a regular spot! My partner and I have a hard time keeping our record collection tame since we keep coming back!

Dietary restrictions: Great GF options and plenty of non dairy options!“

“So worth walking over to! My friend came all the way from Jersey city and it did not disappoint, super cute inside amazing service ( the woman who brought us our food was so kind! ) and delicious food ( for a good price + big portion ) . We got the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles with egg both were amazing but the chilaquiles was def the best! 10/10“

“Seek Coffee is a true find! I stopped in expecting a great coffee, but the baked empanadas were the real surprise. The chicken empanada was soft and warm, with the perfect texture not dry like other places. It was so fresh and flavorful, I couldn’t get enough! Pairing it with their strawberry lemonade was a treat refreshing and just the right touch of sweetness.

The barista was incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming vibe that made me feel right at home. Service here is top-notch, and the cozy, inviting space makes it easy to settle in and enjoy. Seek Coffee is a must-visit for great food, drinks, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm hug!“

“Live in the neighborhood and just tried this place out for the first time and it was fantastic. The baristas were super friendly and it had great ambience. I got the cold brew which was not that expensive relative to some other coffee shops, and was delicious.“

“A neighborhood treat, and they have really good espresso too! I also love the fresh vibes of this small and upbeat coffee shop.

I almost exclusively drink espresso and not everyone delivers the consistency and flavor for an enjoyable shot. Hibiscus does without any frills or pretense - their well sourced, roasted and fresh beans, attentive brewing and friendly attitude delight me every time.

Come here for your caffeine fix in any form, on-the-go to the part or train, or sip it in the cosy corner table by the storefront window.

And, remember, you are supporting a minority owned neighborhood gem that you can keep coming back to! ✨“

“Do you love excellent coffee? I mean, like really, really good coffee? Not orange-mocha-frappuccinos? Then go to Buddies. I travel a lot, and one of the best parts of travel is the morning coffee quest. I like cappuccinos with whole milk and no sweetener. And I despise foamy cappuccinos or lattes pretending to be cappuccinos. Buddies is without a doubt the single best cappuccino I drank in 2024. And then I drank it 3 more times just to be sure. And after the 4th one I feel even more certain that Buddies is the greatest. And, Taylor is the nicest, most patient person you will meet all day. My partner accidentally spilled his drink on the counter and Taylor was so kind about it and even made him another drink. If you like good coffee and nice people and small businesses, Buddies is for you!“

“Very cute space but quite small. I had the pandan latte. I tend to like my drinks on the sweeter side and so ended up adding some simple syrup (which they had readily available), but the pandan flavor was great. Service was quick and friendly. Seemed like a great place to hang out if you manage to snag a spot.“

“The staff, particularly Wendy, couldn’t be more lovely. Wendy tends to my 2 year old grandson which such sweetness! Above and beyond great service. ❤️“

“I was recently visiting NYC. My hotel was a walking distance away from this delightful cafe. We ended up eating there three times in three days. Fresh food and smoothies! Great care of the customers“

“Their baked goods are so. damn. tasty. Loved the cinnamon babka, came back and got a ham and cheese croissant and wished we got two each. It was crunchy, flakey, cheesy perfection. The lattes are excellent. If you have a high caffeine tolerance like me you might need to do an extra shot of espresso.“

“I love this place so much and it always hits the spot. It’s such a homey vibe and I’m always so impressed with how efficiently they can make food considering how small the open kitchen is. I’ve tried several things on the menu and they all slap. I love the effort that’s put into the presentation and you really can’t beat the price.

Most importantly i love that the kitchen is like 3 tias - it tugs my heart strings“

“Love lt! Very excellent service ❤️“

“This cozy café is one of NYC's best-kept secrets for pour-over coffee lovers like myself. Finding a top-notch pour-over in the city can be tricky, but this spot truly excels. With a diverse selection of beans and expert baristas who craft each cup to perfection, it’s a must-visit. The shop features both indoor and outdoor seating, and offers complimentary Wi-Fi for guests. You can also enjoy light snacks, and they accept credit cards for convenience. Definitely worth a visit—highly recommended! Enjoy!“

“The best coffee in NYC, probably in New York State. All the staff are amazing, and the owner, Ben, is the nicest guy you’ll meet. Once you meet him, you can see why the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I have travelled and tasted specialty coffee around the world, not much compared to villager. The coffee options are constantly rotating, I fully trust Ben’s palate to showcase a beautiful coffee at his beautiful cafe. The interior is really cozy and welcoming with espresso based equipment located toward the front of the bar, whilst reserving the back-end of the bar to the delicious pourovers they are constantly brewing.

If you are in NYC, you MUST check out Villager.“

“Great coffee and great staff. Biggest windows in midtown. Beautiful sun in the heart of garment district“

“I can’t believe I found this coffee shop on my short trip to NYC. Not only was the service exceptional but the food was excellent. The latte I ordered was the best latte I’ve ever had. A big added bonus was the most impressive latte art I’ve seen. Thank you for a wonderful coffee experience!“

“So happy to have such a nice cafe in the neighborhood. One of my to do’s when first moving here was to find a good coffee spot and Hamlet is now my go-to.

There’s a good amount of seating though I’d still recommend going early to find a spot. It’s great for doing a bit of work.

Coffee selection is minimal and solid. Also tried a baked good for the first time and loved it!“

“Don’t miss out on trying their fresh juice ,
appetizers to desserts .Highly recommended!
you’ll love this place! we loved everything we tried. We can’t wait to come back again!

Parking: Easy to find“

“Cutesy little coffee shop bakery that I stumbled upon while in town. Small, quaint, quiet and cutesy. My gf and I ordered a slice of Banana Walnut Bread, Spearmint Hot Tea, Iced Passionfruit Black Tea and Kouign-amann. We were so impressed w the quality, taste and presentation of everything as everything was enjoyable and something we'd definitely purchase again.“
