    Grab a bench and people watch over some of the best espresso in SoHo. Free wifi (password is on a wood block on the counter).

    Love the green tea matcha latte with almond milk. Cozy seating and select pastries to pair with your drink of choice.

    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

    When you're taking a break from working or reading, grab the bench in the front.

    Great place to meet up with people with the picnic table setup. Lively, but chill enough that it's a great study spot as well

    Fellow Aussies and others who crave proper coffees.. Get your Flat White fix while in SoHo here. Iced Chai is also good.

    Good coffee, but VERY crowded. A little overwhelming, so probably best to go early when it first opens.

    Cute cafe with delicious coffee, cookies, and sandwiches. There's also a lovely sky-light area in the back and stacks of Nat Geo back issues to flip through. Great spot!

    I don't know what you look for in a sandwich, but personally I think it's a good sign when I find myself thinking that I never want it to end. GO CUBAN or go home!!!!!

    A great place to stop in to take a shopping break and grab a coffee in SoHo. We love the prosciutto sandwich.

    Instead of giant cookies that are super sweet, go across the street for a macaron and bring it here :)

    Woody environs complement the solid cup of Intelligentsia Ground Support dark roast. Benches, tree-stump and wood-trunk tables dot the cafe, with stacks of Nat Geos nearby. (Orig. review 11/28/12.)

    If you're willing to deal with the surly, too cool attitude, then the coffee's worth it. Grrr

    Iced Matcha tea is well worth the 5 bucks. Get one for the walk back to the office and one for sipping at your desk.

    Great spot to take a break. The benches in front are perfect in the afternoon, just a little bit of sun. Good coffee too.

    Best coffee shop in SoHo. ☕️ BIG fan of their prosciutto sandwich with strawberry rhubarb jam.

    They have matcha green tea! And almond milk! And agave syrup, all pretty hard to find in standard coffee shops

    The woody environs of Ground Support complement the solid cup of coffee the SoHo shop serves. Benches, tree stumps, and a wood- trunk-as-table mark the front room, along with stacks of Nat Geos.

    Cute soho coffee shop but gets extremely crowded throughout the day. Don't expect to get a seat, but do get a coffee and a sandwich to go!

    Here for the first time & tried an americano. Taste was pretty bland to me, but I'd be willing to try their iced concoctions once it's warmer out again. Cute bench and table seating inside though!

    Great stock coffee shop. Not a destination, but if you're in the neighbourhood then it's perfectly fine

    Cortado is good and strong. Small cappuccino is great for Aussies looking for a decent 'flat white'

    Holy sweetened almond milk, batman! ...I'll add sugar if I want it, thank you. But impressive latte art for almond milk.

    Coffee, service and cookies are great. But the place is small and super crowded, I guess is a good signal for its quality

    Sandwiches are great. They're premade and ready to go, or you can stay and enjoy the picnic tables inside.
