    This neighborhood is competitive for solid coffee (Grumpy, Pushcart, Irving Roasters) but only recently discovered this place and it's right up there alongside them, and with wifi and usually outlets.

    Nice drinks served by very handsome baristas. Comfy seating and great local spot to study or chat with friends. Recommend: pumpkin latte.

    An adorable cafe with wifi and books to spare. Get the Green Tea Latte; it's frothy, not too sweet, and packs plenty of matcha flavor.

    Really like this little shop in China town. Matcha lattes are real and not a pre mix with sugar. They have soy and the staff is very nice.

    Great iced coffee and a really tranquil vibe. They take Pay with Square and you get $1 off your first time using it.

    Great addition to the neighborhood. Great coffee from a NY based roaster. Make sure you take advantage of their loyalty program.

    Limited seating but it's never crowded to the point where you can't find someplace to squeeze yourself into. Love coming here to do work. Free wifi. INCREDIBLE staff.

    It feels out of place, especially the facade but inside, unlike most of the Chinatown/LES feel of the outdoors, it's tranquility.

    Great coffee... One thing I have to say is that their cup sleeve crocks and my hands turn black
