Drew KolarSeptember 10, 2010Pop in for great, authentic Italian sandwiches (homemade pesto), delicious, fresh pastries in the AM, and sip some of the best coffee in town. Staff is amazingly friendly! 100% local. Beats Starbucks!
Heather FahertyMarch 3, 2014This coffee shop has decor as if the walls have been shifted and you're walking on bookcases with the floor as the wall! Their tea selection has more variety than Starbucks.
Iain MerrickSeptember 11, 2013Tiny little place with great coffee, gelato and fancy cakes. They do proper iced lattes and affogatos.
Mato DurisApril 28, 2013They know how to espresso! Definitely a place where to get a good coffee. And they have lovely barista :P
Ivan ZimnukhovApril 24, 2013For some reason this is the only coffee place around GC without lines at 8 am. I'm usually the only customer. The coffee is also great, second only to Joe in this neighborhood.
Untapped CitiesJuly 15, 2013Visit D'Espresso to see its truly innovative interior design. This shop was made to look like a cafe turned on its side! Try not to get vertigo! Read more
Bigger than you can get from other espresso shop. Affogato choice, good for summer, decent roast
- Mike SingletonOctober 7, 2010Inspired by the nearby New York Public Library at Bryant Park, it's a book-lined oasis turned on it's side so that the bookshelves become the floor and ceilings
Grab a large dark roast "to stay" - it's HUGE. You need a diving board to manage it. PS: Will is the best barista in NYC!
lanamaniacOctober 17, 2011the coffee is great but stay if there is room to get vertigo from the books on the ceiling!
Sophie SonderickerJune 18, 2013The Chai latte is very good. However, everything is a little bit too expensive.
Christian BrummMay 11, 2013Coffee is nothing special, they serve danesi. Don't order the latte. Lots of snacks and they have ice cream.
Natasha AttalAugust 31, 2010Best cafe au laits and croissants in the city..so happy they opened up a second location!
Lindsey LichtyAugust 31, 2010The only good thing about midtown is this lower east side transplant. Jo's doesn't hold a candle to D'espresso. Best Iced Americano in all the land.
