    In the middle of a bustling SoHo, the place has something relaxing and soothing about it. Love the food ans coffee served here; especially the turkey picnic sandwich

    Great coffee shop, but not ideal for working. Weak wi-fi and a loud atmosphere. Use it for your cold brew fix or meeting a friend instead. And they have iced matchas too - yes!

    Nice place to work with internet and a lot of seating. Chai latte is amazing but quite sweet - I do light chai with almond milk and light chai. Yum!

    Can get a little cramped, but it's a cozy coffee shop. A wide variety of drinks and yummy snacks are served. Currently serving tumeric latte- a must-try.

    Ground Support will always be my go-to café downtown. It's in a perfect location in the heart of SoHo, has a wonderful & spacious set-up, great views of West Broadway and amazing coffee and sandwiches

    One of my fave spots to work if you can snag a seat in the back by the outlets. Chill vibe, free wifi, good coffee, and only sometimes swamped w soho euros. You might want headphones for when it is.

    Pro-tip: they have matcha. Get an iced latte with almond milk.

    I consider myself an almond croissant addict. The one at Ground Support maybe wasn't the real (French) deal, but tbh quite good. Recommended!

    I had a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. The portion was small but I left feeling satisfied. The mint tea was tasty too.

    Great coffee, solid chai. The PB&J on baguette (on the counter) is a perfect little snack. Great bench inside and outside to watch Soho saunter and stagger by. My fav.

    The incredible muffins here are from Blue Sky Bakery in Park Slope, slight sugar coating with fruit filled centres, best I've had. Pair well with the cold brew.

    For most coffee spots, it's either fast service, friendly employees or good coffee: pick 2 of the 3. This place nails all of the above like nowhere else in Manhattan. And the food is fantastic!

    If you come here order the prosciutto sandwich it was to die for!! They have wifi so it's great for meetings, good amount of space and easy to get to.

    Wooden benches, R&B music, coziness with an almond latte made to order? YES, PLEASE!

    Pretty good cappuccino, the best in the area. Barista's are a bit too cool/hipster, always talking to each other and generally don't make you feel welcome. Maybe because its a hot spot and always busy

    The barista told me I couldn't get my almond croissant warmed up b/c the almonds would get everywhere. The audacity! This will be the last time I get a matcha green latte w/ almond milk.

    Want a little something sweet? Grab one of the ginger cookies in the jar by the resister. Super delicious.

    why would you want to be present with your coffee anywhere else? natural light, languages of all kinds, community tables, all wonderful things. a neighborhood nook in soho is not an easy feat.

    Don't feel like your 8th cup of coffee today? Try the Arnold Palmer. Not too sweet. And quite refreshing.

    Great coffee, insane sandwiches and lots of space to crash with a laptop after 6pm. Cool staff too. My absolute favorite place!

    Come for the fantastic coffee, stay to work (Wifi!), eat (50% off food after 5 PM), or chill (best people watching spot in Soho).

    I'm always thrilled to come across a coffee shop serving Intelligentsia. Good drip coffee, even after sitting in a Thermos for however long.

    Their house blend is a really nice everyday coffee. Drink it black.

    Great place to sneak an iced coffee and a mini peanut butter and jelly sandwich (on baguette no less) while you're walking around Soho. Also a good place to chill and do some work on the long benches.

    A rare workspace in SoHo, populated by fashionistas & tourists--lots of work meetings happen here. There are plugs & sometimes wonky wifi at this Intelligentsia shop. Coffee quality varies. Great food Read more

    sandwiches are fire, coffee is fresh. a bit crowded for my claustrophobic taste, but what's good for their business is good for me.

    Man, their coffee is great. Also a really nice place to hang out + stuff face with one of their delicious sandwiches (say, the Turkey Picnic)

    This is probably the only real non-Starbucks coffee shop that has a large size. For optimal caffeination, vie for the large latte with a extra shot of espresso.

    In the afternoon, sun shines in through the skylights. There are also benches at the front inside and outside, perfect for people watching. Also, good wifi.

    Great muffins..an actual good bran one. Healthy!!! And the tiny peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are amazing. Sandwich happy hour is great. Wine is good too, go during happy hour for that.

    One of the nicest coffees I've had in NYC. Cosy warmth of the place draws you in. Beware the freelancer crew hogging the good seats!

    In the summer go for the iced coffee and cuban sandwich. Then grab a cigarrillo from the cigar shop down the street for a long lazy lunch.
