My favorite writing spot. Whether you're looking for tea, wine, juice or coffee, they've got a wide selection. Also good for a low-key breakfast - the egg sandwich is the best around.

Super-homey; a quaint nook for a solo breakfast or couple-sized. Friendly, attentive staff will find you a seat when it gets full. Unique menu options and free wifi. Push bathroom door hard to open ;)

All day breakfast option on the menu. Cocktails good selection of fruit and vegetable juices. Pasta, pastries yum yum yum.

Solid variety of baked goods...the New York Cheesecake is as good as the music selection which is to say, quite good! Try the Harney and Sons Early Grey.

Good, cozy spot with reasonable prices. Great place to catch up with a friend. Paninis are pretty tasty

Nice sidewalk cafe right across from Tompkins Square Park. Good for spending an afternoon reading or catching up with friends, but don't expect any spectacular food or drinks.

Underwhelming iced tea, surly staff and iffy wifi are saved by a great location (opposite Tompkins Square Park), plenty of seats, and the world's best brownie.

Be warned if you plan to come here to get work done, the wifi is consistently and notoriously slow and unstable. That problem aside, it's a great daytime working atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, great loose leaf tea, but they charge for wifi and the bathroom situation is a bit weird. Love the booths in the back or sitting outside in the summertime.

Love this place. The prices are good for the area. Also the coffee is really good. Great place to have breakfast and wake up.

An old wise man on a scooter explains how sketchy the East village was 20 years ago as everyone in the cafe stops what they are doing to listen.

This place has a good selection of teas and the prices are very reasonable. And these guys are really friendly

Charming & rustic interiors. A great place to study, read or just people watch.
Jenny ParkNovember 19, 2010
Great place to study or read. They don't pressure you to make a purchase in order for you to stay. Food is ehhh.... I like the small portioned kids menu. Coffee is quite strong.

My favorite place in the EV. Great service and delicious loose pots of teas. I recommend the Masala.

Excellent place to do some work and enjoy a hearty meal. The chicken fingers with honey balsamic sauce is great!

Best place in the Village to write. Great pasta and try the white chocolate mousse cake!

Their wifi is now free, guys. I think this is a good place to study, but it is rather dark, so not the best for reading.

Be prepared for slow service, but it's worth it and they don't hustle you out of your table. Solid coffee, good food.
Felipe LewisMay 5, 2013

Love the eggs sunny side up. With a dash of olive oil on them and salad. at less than $5 its a steal.
PE CoisneApril 17, 2014
Not the friendliest staff in New York, but they're decently priced and yes, wifi is free
Jaclyn CareyOctober 4, 2013
Pretty slow service but I almost prefer that to speedy service then glaring servers when you're sitting down doing work and taking up a table for more than 15 minutes.
Jen RamosOctober 3, 2011
Love this place. Moved to DC but still make a b-line for it when I come to NYC.Great soy latte.

The iced coffee is great.
EMilyFebruary 12, 2011
I like this place. Good atmosphere but it's ridiculous that they charge for wifi so I go to B Cup Cafe instead. Similar feel. Free wifi.
Angela CovacsJune 19, 2015
I love the fries!

Be prepared to freeze your butt off in the bathroom. Nice place though.

Wifi password is pick1me2up3
TaylorFebruary 9, 2011
If you buy the wifi, don't log out. Regardless of how long you bought, logging out ends your wifi access.

Great for a good bagel if you don't want to walk to H and H.
Conchita CamposJuly 29, 2011
Have usually liked this place. But don't come on Friday afternoon. The waiter is a complete dickwad.
