Faris IbraheemJuly 3, 2016Excellent coffee. Ask for their feature espresso. The truck in the courtyard is fun if the weather is nice. The bar inside the lobby is full of charm. They do have typewriters if you feel like writing
M WAugust 31, 2015Excellent coffee. The flat white is a strong challenger for best in Manhattan. Head into the hotel rather than relying just on the truck in the front. Enjoy the quieter atmosphere in the back garden.- Derek T. KuAugust 4, 2017Quaint coffeeshop in the back of the Highline Hotel. Come here to take a break from gallery hopping. Nice and cool during the summer and warm during the winters.Upvoted 3 weeks ago
John ANovember 15, 2014My favorite roaster I enjoyed in Chicago now in nyc. Luxurious location in High Line hotel. Smooth flavorful coffee created by pour over artists. Definitely a nice place to sip your cup of Joe.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍February 9One of the more unique places you'll come across. It's a courtyard infront of the High Line Hotel with a double decker bus that has been converted into a coffee shop. Coffee & pastries are pretty good
- MichaelJanuary 27, 2017Tucked away in a cozy hotel lobby Intelligentsia serves exceptional coffee. Drink up on one of the comfy couches inside or head out the back to catch up with friends in the hotel's airy courtyard.
Great outdoor seating in the front where the coffee truck is. You can also get drinks at the lobby & take it to the back garden which is more chill. Both serves fantastic espresso drinks.
Courtney SmithOctober 16, 2016Pastries from Mah-ze-dahr & underwest donuts, Delicious coffee, and cozy but spacious atmosphere. What more do you need?
Great vibe, great espresso / cappuccino, and great chai lattes. Perfect reprieve from the high line or gallery hopping.
- The perfect spot to caffeinate before or after gallery hopping in Chelsea. Sit outside on their gravel patio and soak up the sun if it's warm enough outside!
Enjoy the courtyard and coffee from the green truck while the weather is nice out. The truck has a select menu while the full menu is inside the hotel.
one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had - ceremonial grade or close to for sure - I'm buzzing right now! almond milk = ✔️
- New York Coffee WeekOctober 19, 2015The first New York location of this celebrated roaster is known for its homemade chai, cold brew coffee and pastries among Foursquare users. Read more
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideMay 22, 2013Although the High Line Hotel's exterior looks something like a correctional facility, if you venture inside, you'll find Intelligentsia's attractive lobby coffee bar, their first in NYC. Read more
Stina P.January 8, 2016the best not so tucked away tucked away spot. outside on a summer day is like a NY version of LA. note: they stop serving coffee/tea promptly at 6- located in the High Line Hotel lobby (just walk right in from 10th ave), with seating both inside and outside. this is the only Intelligentsia location in the city!
Flora ChengJuly 22, 2017Awesome outdoors seating in the summer. Iced chai latte was 👌🏼. Oat milk and almond milk available.
You have 2 outdoor seating options - the front courtyard by the coffee cart or the peaceful back patio. And, yes, there's wifi 🙌
Andres NovoaNovember 23, 2015This place in the lobby of the High Line Hotel is great! They used to be one and the same as Kilogram Teas so you know their coffee and tea is top notch!
Justin McKissickAugust 22, 2016Great cold brew, really peaceful place to sit outside the Highline, served from a stationary coffee truck
Serious EatsMay 30, 2013The first New York location of the celebrated roaster, with pastries worth the trip alone. Located in the High Line hotel.
Jenny UngJanuary 4, 2015Super cozy little cove hidden in a very interesting hotel. Try the Spiced Chai Cider on a cold and rainy day, hits that spot so right.
Paula PVOctober 18, 2015Best coffe shop in chelsea area. Take your coffe and if theres sun go to the back where u can see a old monestery. Charm.
Amit ChaudhariApril 5, 2018The indoor ambiance is perfect for snow day. And the one outside is perfect for when you don’t remember when it last happened.
Kaufman NgNovember 17, 2017the indoor space is a little tiny. Still I love their coffee and it's amongst the best in NYC (and Chicago of course)
f7oNovember 3, 2017Lovely coffee place with both good coffee and very nice outdoor and indoor area. Not a lot of space inside tho
Cristina CasasMay 28, 2017A spectacular place to take coffee and have a relaxing time. I love the outdoors seating area.
Sandya SankarramMarch 27, 2017Their coffee/chai lattes are tasty. You can sit down outside in the courtyard or inside the High Line Hotel where they have wifi.
Christina MilanJune 21, 2014Mostly brews light, floral coffees but they also have a great full bodied roast: La Perla de Oaxaca Mexico!
Jamie BreenJanuary 20, 2016Ethiopian espresso juicy and balanced; black cat espresso pairs perfect with milk
Andrew ChoiFebruary 2, 2014Hidden inside the High Line Hotel. Get a taste of LA and order a Gibraltar, or a "cortado" for us East Coast folk
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018Nestled in an intimate corner of the High Line Hotel lobby, our first New York coffeebar offers guests a quiet escape from the city that never sleeps.
- BenMarch 30, 2015Beautiful interior in the highline hotel, incredible quality coffee. There's also a typewriter for whenever inspiration strikes.
HeidiAugust 6, 2016Atmosphere: green leather couch, working typewriters, marble tables. Had La Tortuga (Honduras) cold brew.
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014This New York outpost serves up joe for on-the-go types from a refurbished 1963 Citroën coffee delivery truck Read more
Čarbara BernekováMay 12, 2019Beautifull coffee house but little hard to find it cause it is bad markedc from the outside. Is in right in hotel.
Our goto weekend coffee spot. Great outdoor seating in front and out back of the hotel. Dog friendly
Vaidehi KJune 30, 2015Get coffee at the truck outside in nice weather. The High Line hotel lobby has a full menu and quaint decor.
Andrea TKMay 31, 2015The coffee is pretty good and they have a big and lovely terrace. They could do a much better job with the quality of their breads and pastries, though.
Delicious pastries especially croissants. Love the ambiance.
Jordi LlobetAugust 3, 2017Very good coffee (not cheap) and amazing place outside in case the weather is good.
VéApril 25, 2018what a stylish and beautiful coffee bar! great coffee and very nice people. highly recommended.
- yuiuy SamsuddinJuly 6, 2018Good cocktails and atmosphere but the tropical oasis they have created has also created a bug problem. Also a cute coffee
- Ariel VieraAugust 7, 2014This place is perfect for an iced coffee (it's cold brew) and an outdoor summer read.
