Good for 1-on-1 meet-ups and individual work sessions. The grilled cheese with avocado on multigrain bread is simple yet healthy and filling and delicious. Lots of tea options for the tea lovers
Ana Maria VillarJuly 16, 2014Stayed here for 2h writing... I had a German choc cake and a Honey nut latte... Both are amazing coffees! Really worth it! I also had the turkey sandwich, but the sandwich is pretty normal...
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 29, 2018A lively local coffee and tea shop, with a beautifully diverse selection and lots of plants and plenty of space to relax and get work done. The best around! 5/5
Amanda 🐼July 26, 2018it’s either crowded or cozy depending on the people to plant ratio. if you manage to grab a table in the back, you get to enjoy the cozy mini library. the nutella latte is my guilty pleasure here.
Tea For Me PleaseNovember 30, 2013Large and impressive tea menu. It's hard to get a seat so make sure that you time your tea if you take it to go. Don't forget to grab a yummy green tea cookie! Read more
Andrew CJanuary 18, 2020Such a cute coffee/tea shop with comfy seating and nice books... solid place to sit and chat and relax!!! Plenty of tea choices and unique coffee drinks + they'll refill your tea water for free
Globetrottergirls DaniMay 12, 2017Huge selection of teas and coffees. Great place to escape the hectic of Manhattan for a while, or to get some work done on your laptop (free wifi)
Love this place. Perfect vibe to get some work done over the weekend. Plenty of tables and outlets. The Perfect level of coffeehouse chatter and background music. And very creative latter creations!
This place has a totally homemade feel --- lots of couches that look like they got pulled out of Grandma's house. Staff here is really nice. Get there early to get a seat. (Before 9:30/10). Free wifi.
Alexandra LevitasMay 13, 2017The atmosphere of this place is amazing. Great tea choice. More limited on the sandwich side, and by the end of they day they ran out of some ingredients. But the pastries and desserts are perfect!
Connie ChiuNovember 16, 2014Unique espresso drinks. The honey bee latte is so good on a cold day. Gets really crowded on weekend afternoons. Super nice staff.
Beril EsenJuly 20, 2015One of my favorite cafes due to its chill and laid back atmosphere, free wifi, and good coffee and sandwiches. The lemon bars are tasty and there's also a unique tea selection.
Lauren MacOctober 5, 2015Hipster hangout with a wonderful variety of lattes and caffeinated drinks. Loving the plants and the eclectic mugs to give it a homey feel. A favorite of Malcolm Gladwell.
Free wifi, really healthy, yummy nutritious food, smoothie selections esp tuna salad, bright interior w lots of plants like a rainforest, plugs, various table/seating options like couch, small tables
Mila MilaAugust 11, 2014Love the ambiance. Black tea rose latte was absolute heaven in my mouth. Paired w the Rubert and very chill playlist, one of the best relaxing afternoons I've had in a while.
Black Tea Rose Latte is so light and sweet, drinking it feels like you are dancing with flowers! Totally worth trying!!
Kate WillskyMarch 4, 2016They have really interesting drinks, and great options if you're trying to not get too caffeinated. Rooibois tea latte FTW!
Michael WalleAugust 31, 2015I stopped in for the first time and got the espresso. The location has a deceptive amount of space and free wifi, so I would say it's good for getting work done.
Andrew ChoiApril 6, 2014Come on a lazy afternoon with a friend and catch up on life and enjoy a cup and sweets.
Ashley RoseJanuary 31, 2016Tasty tea lattes with every variation of milk you can imagine. Packed mid afternoon on a winter Saturday so if you want to hang Come earlier
Serious EatsDecember 12, 2012Portobello Mushroom & Gorgonzola: Perfectly meaty grilled mushrooms on a crusty, powdery ciabatta. The creamy gorgonzola is sharp enough, but doesn't dominate.
Bansri BhattDecember 31, 2011The music is fun, the drinks menu is great, & I love the plants! Bonus: free wi-fi. They're not strict about the 90-min. seating limit during off hours. Be polite during high traffic & you’ll be fine!
Christine ArboledaOctober 20, 2016Best homey cozy NY spot that feels like a living room. A rarity in the city with chains an overly trendy designed coffee shops.
Shohini GuptaAugust 6, 2019Ask for tea recommendations + great place to sit and work, strong WiFi and cozy vibe
Joe QuinnOctober 26, 2015Honey nut latte is great! Fair amount of seating, and it may take a bit to get your drink because of a line, but it's worth it!
Sam SNovember 28, 2015Lunch and coffee here were both good, but it was far too crowded when we arrived. If you can get a comfortable spot, you'll have a great time.
Sarah MOctober 30, 2018Great study space. I love everything about this place except the fact that my clothes smelled like I’ve been cooking all day 🤣.
John MartinezMarch 24, 2016The German chocolate cake latte is awesome! Also, the chocolate torte is really good!
Chez OngJanuary 29, 2019Great space and drinks makes it a very popular place.... makes seats hard to come by and the WiFi can lag at time though.
Sherry OJune 27, 2011Super cute and cozy coffee shop. Plan on only staying for 90 minutes though - it gets crowded and the staff will encourage you to move on out if you've overstayed your welcome (in a friendly way)
Coffee drinks! I really like the tuna sandwich if you ask they will add cheese and make it a tuna melt. So good!
Sue LeeApril 4, 2015Delicious mint chocolate latte. The oatmeal needed some brown sugar. Cute place to get some work done.
NetsirkJuly 9, 2015Cute hidden coffee shop with lots of work space and a lounge area. Unique lattes too: try the black tea rose latte.
besides hanging out and all, i get my beans for home here too. unlike nearby coffee shops like think, s'nice, etc. the roaster here knows what the hell he is doing!
Joshua BoggsJuly 25, 2016Great working environment. Not too loud, not too quiet. Good music, comfortable lightning, and a lot of plants.
Pleasant staff - comforting food items - like an outdoor indoor living room patio. Such a nice place to hang out.
Hayley MagyarJune 27, 2015The chocolate date smoothie is incredible!! Fab atmosphere, really quirky and relaxed. Lots of seating. Definitely recommend!!
Brittany VanBibberJuly 14, 2013If you're looking for a sweet pick me up the honey nut latte is awesome. Great atmosphere. Plenty of space to read and relax- the honey nut latte is perfectly executed - it is as close as you could get to Honey Nut Cheerios in liquid form
Kevin ParkSeptember 1, 2014Very cool coffee shop. You can pay with square. Great place to work and chill. There is a 90minute seating limit.
Tom WalterMay 15, 2019Nice atmosphere! People can’t actually stay longer than 1,5 hours to let in new clients; otherwise they would.
Filter Scan / SeanDecember 27, 2015Best coffee spot in the city, bring a date or some friends and share a tea pot amongst the greenery.
FoodspottingDecember 11, 2010The Breakfast Wrap is my favorite dish here. For $4, you get one hot, freshly grilled sausage, egg, and cheese-filled wrap anytime of day. - Amy, head of social media at Foodspotting
Jean 💜March 5, 2015On Comedy Central's Broad City, this shop features as "Jane’s Sandwich Shop", where Abbi had an art show and sold just one piece... to Ilana.
AnikaNovember 15, 2015Lovely place. Get there early to snag a seat. Always busy. Has wifi but sometimes slow given how busy it gets.
