Thomas PajorJune 6, 2015I had the Cappuccino which was quite good but small. Get the large one. The decor is fantastic and very relaxed in the back.
Great place to work (diverse choices for seating, have outlets & WiFi), delicious cold brew
BettyDecember 27, 2013Typically not a fan of soy chai tea lattes but theirs is nice + creamy. Good coffee alternative. Nice service + free pastry samples don't hurt!
Amy CummingsMarch 5, 2017Love the area in the back, like a library meets lounge area. Good for working.
Kevin O'NeillNovember 30, 2014Surprisingly the coffee is just not that great here. For a city full of coffee hotspots it's amazing when a place misses the mark
Mo FOctober 30, 2014Cute space but I have never seen so many people waiting in line for drinks in my life. Also the yellow light over the communal table is hideous
Check out the chill library in the back with free wifi. Coffee is great too.
Cortado, and iced coffee for the win. Great selection of pastries. Even have green juices ($10...)
A great Midtown East coffee shop for multiple purposes such as reading, working, and meeting with good coffee and alcohols.
AliciaFebruary 14, 2015They sell Liquiteria cold pressed juices here! Cute library with seating in the back!
Brittany SübersOctober 30, 2016Decent coffee, waitstaff is quick, never any small talk, and more seating is available in the back.
Kanika BansalMarch 21, 2018Try the Vanilla Chai Latte - one of the few places which can make it less sweet than usual! 😍
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018Ground Central is our love letter to New York, so we designed the space to reflect everything that makes this vivacious city what it is.
Polina WeitzApril 18, 2022Solid coffee and great pastries. Library-style seating in the back is lovely.
They've got the best chocolate milk around: Battenkill Creamery from upstate NY.
Joury IbrahimSeptember 1, 2016Love the place and the atmosphere. The interior decoration is nice. However, the flat white wasn't the best.- MarcNovember 22, 2013Tasting Table says: "Find La Colombe brew along with pastries from Blue Sky, Mille-Feuille and Colson and a back library"
- one of my favorite coffee shops in Manhattan. they make GREAT lattes
Warren CohenNovember 21, 2013May be NYC's friendliest coffee shop - and OMG on the pour over coffee.
Reliable midtown east coffee place with La Colombe beans.
Alaaddin AkkayaNovember 23, 2014One of the best place in NYC for coffee. Place is awesome. Top grades from me.
La Colombe without having to hike downtown. Amazing to-die for latte!
Cozy place to get a hot cuppa coffee and chill in the library at the back.
Julia QiuApril 18, 2014Coffee isn't actually that great.. But cool little library-like nook in the back to get work done
Che FranciscoMarch 1, 2016Charming little coffee shop. Pastries are good but choices can still be improved.
Karthik RamanApril 27, 2015Solid WiFi with decent number of outlets. Loud, but not distracting music. Great for meetings, decent for getting work done, poor choice for a phone call.
- simhskalAugust 2, 2015The ambience and seating is super awesome . The croissant was quite okay but their coffee was pretty good
Ambience! The iced caramel macchiato! Love it!

"Simple set up, perfect for an "on the go". A couple chairs outside, not designed for you to try and set up your 'mobile office'. Great coffee, and wholesome baked goods!"
