Hardest place in the world to get to from the upper west side, but I have to admit it's worth the effort. I had a pumpkin coffee, because I'm basic, but they did it perfectly. I'll be back

Absolutely love this place. I always get the quiche of the day. Great music, great atmosphere, great coffee. What more could you want?

Chill, cute and unpretentious coffee shop – eerily similar to the one on Friends. Get a standard Iced Coffee or go a little fancier and get a Double Chocolate Mocha Espresso Freeze.

No matter how full of regret I am, I always have room for B Cup's eggs on ciabatta. Perfectly seasoned, perfectly sized. And their iced cappuccinos? Heavenly.

Great coffee. Even better vibe. Sit and chill. Great rainy day in the village sit and ponder life spot.

The tahini cookie is out of this world and melts in your mouth.

FRRRR-EEZING! They really like the air-con in this place! It's a nice spot to work from if you happen to be in Alphabet City, but the coffee's a bit lame. Bring a jacket. And scarf. And mittens.

Outlets are in the back, get the wifi pass at the register, couches + chairs + tables. Music is wonderful. There is a neighborhood feeling to the place. Try the chicken sandwich with avocado.

I love the lattes. They can make them any way you request. Bagels are always fresh.

Surprisingly hard to get work done, but it's good for lunch. The hummus sandwich is best on Rosemary ciabatta

Really nice staff. Not a ton of outlets but you can find some by the back couches, the front counter by the windows and next to the couch in the front.

Soy latte $4.75 for 12 oz. on a sunny corner with couch and benches outside. Friendly spot for locals.

You must try the sweet Brie cheese sandwich! Good place for working.

Free wifi password: bcupcafe212. They are on the Cups app too! This is a great study spot for people who like white background noise.

Love this funky cafe. Free wifi and great sandwiches and salads [tuna plus avocado] make this one of my favorite places to work.

Grilled chicken sandwich, rosemary ciabatta, eggs whites, and avocado. Trust me. 💯

On warmer days, get their frozen vanilla & white chocolate café mocha or vanilla espresso freeze.

Love the ambience. One of the few quaint cafés in the area

Order an ice coffee to drink in house, it'll come in a cute glass jar.
Eliza ChangMay 23, 2015
Superb study spot. Food/beverage prices are a little high but the wifi is blazing fast. Cash only!

Good wifi, single tables great for work, and awesome salad. Get the double chocolate mocha espresso freeze.

Great vibes. A tad pricey, but they do have a loyalty punch-card. Prosciutto wrap is my usual. Mediocre coffee. WiFi is much better now. The key is posted next to the bathroom.

Brie honey apple sandwich is amazing

The iced coffee is one of my favs in the neighborhood. Try the egg wrap with goat cheese for bfast or post-workout. Remember, it's cash only!

Best chai I've found in the East Village. And some great music selection. Food is overpriced though.
Andrew FurmanSeptember 4, 2015
Great coffee and plenty of seating to do work at. Including big comfy couches!
Michael JJune 16, 2014
Good atmosphere, but shitty coffee. You can find better environments with better coffee for cheaper. I can heat my own oregon chai & buy the carton for cheaper, too.
LeonJune 27, 2016
Excellent food and coffee, but the WiFi is spotty; I wouldn't rely on it if you need to get real work done

Israeli breakfast comes with coffee & OJ. So satisfying!
Aditi LuthraNovember 25, 2018
Cool decor, vegan options, reminds me of the Bean but more local & inspired
Julius TarngNovember 4, 2014
V chill. Grab a mint lemonade or maybe a bagel w avocado
Kayden H.July 27, 2012
One of the only decent places in Alphabet City I've found to do work. A little hippie dippie. Bring headphones if you're trying to focus.

The ample menu, the crowd, and the free wifi. Not to mention the prosciutto sandwich. Read more

Central Perk vibe with awesome music to work to and friendly staff...what's not to love.
Kristin S.April 21, 2012
Loved the avocado sandwich on whole wheat bread. Cute cafe, a couple tables outside for beautiful days like today!
April DitoMarch 29, 2015
Nice place to work and have some coffee. Great food too.
Roxanne SchwartzOctober 20, 2013
there are only a few things better than iced coffee served in a carafe. come here and stay a while.
Adam SachsMarch 24, 2012
Very chill, good coffee and sandwiches. The Israeli baristas are all really nice. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The bathroom walls are chalkboards, and there's chalk for you to write with :) So smart and still very pretty!
Aditi LuthraSeptember 26, 2017
Yummy vegan snacks & cool ambiance, similar to The Bean!
Shanté SmallsMay 22, 2015
Well...the chai is good. But $8 for a chai latte and vegan cookie? Ugh. Not the old East Bill, for sure. Skater-boy baristas as redic and the terrible 90s alt-rock needs to go.
Urmila SrinivasNovember 18, 2012
Amazing music. Great coffee. Funny conversations. Whoopie pies are off the chain.
Helena WongJune 19, 2013
place feels like my backpacking days. Free wifi & try the shakshuka...yum!

I love this place but I had to not come as much cause it's way to expensive... $14.40 for two cherry mocha's and a pecan bar? That's crazy.
