Alternative baristas serving perfect Macchiatos in East Village. Expect a modern style , chill environment interrupted by the steady flow of young urban professionals and NYU caffeine cravers.
Paõ (gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread) is the perfect savory addition to an almond milk latte. Each one has a few big sea salt flakes on top.
Lindsay FaulknerOctober 25, 2014New Saturday morning spot. Egg sandwich w/ pesto 👍, dirty chai latte (includes shot of espresso).
Fati HussainJuly 12, 2015Nice spot to just relax and catch up. Good coffee, live music on Friday nights. They also have a special if you buy a bottle of wine you get 6 cheese bread
Steven YApril 27, 2016Good place to catch up with a friend - they have designated sections for working / laptops so there is space to sit and talk. There's also a bathroom!
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideJuly 31, 2013A daytime coffee shop, nighttime bar, Wayside brings a wifi workspace, Intelligentsia Coffee and eclectic quality snack plates to the East Village. Try the pan de quejio - 3 for $2.
Mark SecadaOctober 13, 2014Wayside's coffee is great, its staff is friendly and attentive, and it's nice to hear Spanish music over the loudspeakers.There's free wifi but it isn't a good place to work if you need space
Andrew FurmanApril 13, 2015great food, but it get's expensive quick. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel with an iced coffee, and my total was $17
Gianna NebbiaMay 16, 2018Turkey sandwich tastes very fresh, great healthy lunch option while still being satisfying and filling. Nice staff too
Yifen JNovember 4, 2013Best cheese bread ever. EVER. They chrun them out throughout the day and if you're lucky, you'll be there right when the cheesy balls come out of the oven.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideJuly 31, 2013The Intelligentsia espresso needs a little work, but from 11am-4pm, before it turns into a bar, there's free wifi and good snacks, pastries & savory food.
Aline VelterAugust 3, 2013Nice coffee shop in East Village with Pão de Queijo! A good way to start the day!
Caroline DengDecember 6, 2015There's free wifi available before 4 pm! Try their dirty chai latte with almond milk, and get $10 off your Cups app plan using code "gtyzl"!
Stan BashmashnikovJanuary 3, 2014Hidden gem for those work-from-home-but-need-to-get-out-of-the-house days. Especially great during the hot, summer months.
Zayed KhanMarch 29, 2015They have really excellent peanut butter cookies, with a great blend of gooey, chewy, crunchy. Pretty amazing.
Winston S.November 28, 2015No decaf coffee, but a great place to grab a drink, bite, or to hang for a little. They have Wi-Fi too.
John GallagherJune 8, 2014Get a Pao de queijo to go with your drink. It's a chewy cheesy garlicky ball of goodness
David SchorrSeptember 18, 2014Really great muffins but they sell out of all 6 that they get by 9AM & for the life of me I can't figure out why they don't get more of them to sell.
Scott M.September 4, 2013Great coffee and homemade pastries. A nice spot for a quick meeting or coffee break.
Brand new. Sweet and attentive staff, great coffee, and quiet place to work. Wifi on from 11 to 4.
Daniel WillsonJune 26, 2015Egg sandwich is incredible - get it on sourdough. Not a great place for laptop work though - they have a tiny computer only zone.
Good snacks, decent coffee, free wifi, and high benches for working on laptops
Sean KwonJuly 26, 2013Intelligentsia coffee with an awesome interior coupled with free WiFi. Perfect
Pro tip: If you're getting an iced coffee, use your same cup for $2 refills.
Won Jae LeeMarch 7, 2014Get the $10 student special! Medium coffee, choice of soup/salad, and a sandwich!
Ms HeleneAugust 28, 2013Very open and bright space but the soy latte I had was very weak and watery tasting. Hopefully things pick up and change as they ease into the new digs.- Best fresh almond croissants afternoon on Wednesdays.
- Thomas MoJuly 12, 2014They serve intelligentsia here. Drink that. Or the red chili latte/chai if you're feeling curious. But tbh it's iffy at best.
