Fantastic iced coffee. Don't sit down unless you want to get into a "who can type more furiously" contest with all of your neighbors.
Gordon MeiMarch 23, 2014Plentiful tables and art lining the walls, great music and atmosphere. Would chill here all the time.
Jay HarrisFebruary 25, 2015The best place to get work done in the neighborhood. Plenty of seating, Toby's Estate coffee, quite loud.
Absolute perfection. Great Toby's Estate coffee, wifi, & plenty of spots to sit and do work.
AdrienMay 14, 2016One of the biggest coffee space in NYC, love the light when they open the storefront windows
Aditi LuthraSeptember 12, 2017Love the ample study/work space and quiet atmosphere. Everyone gets their own table!
Aya FJune 1, 2016Good hang vibe with many outlets but tiny tables that don't move. Overall great place to work! #getshitdone
Vivian VoApril 12, 2015Outlets ever other seat, cold brew, and lots of milk choices (no charge self help for almond or soy!)
Nick NewmanNovember 11, 2015One of my favorite downtown coffee shops. Great music, good place to read or work.
Great spot to get some work done with plenty of seats, outlets and reliable wifi.
Great place to work if you can find a table. Good coffee and awesome music
AnissaMay 22, 2015Open layout is perfect for working on Sunday afternoons. The seats have outlets too!
Awesome place to sit and visit or do work with lots of natural light.
WiFi, coffee from Blue Bottle both strong. Outlets everywhere. Genuinely friendly baristas. SOLID.
Wesley BlissDecember 29, 2015Nice, artsy, big space. Espresso is on the bold & oily side, but very good.
Jesse GillApril 17, 2016Not sure if this is a coffee shop or an apple pop-up but the coffee is great and the people always look disappointed or angry.
Nathan GammieJune 16, 2014Lots of space. Great spot to meet friends or tap away at your laptop. Fun (relatively quiet) summer ambience, as well!- david ' dj shakez ' thaiMarch 1, 2015Don't be fooled by the bathroom exterior, once you get in, you'll have been teleported to Port Authority!
My new favorite place to work. Great coffee, friendly staff and TONS of outlets!
Mariza BaezaFebruary 12, 2014PROS: Staff is super friendly, drinks are good, and the wifi connection is strong. CON: It's cold as shit in here - make sure you dress warm!
Sandra RubinchikJanuary 4, 2015Cozy spot for a low key, solo work session or for a professional coffee date.
Jeff HarpsNovember 7, 2015Amazing coffee. There's no toilet you can sit on, there's only a prison toilet with no seat tho!
Forrest ManningApril 14, 2015Decent coffee, fast wifi. Seating seems to be for people to sit alone at their computers for hours. Not good for meeting people, good for working.
Nobody here in the morning. Radeburger, cold brew, vinyl, and good wifi. Who could ask for more?
Great spot to set up to get a little work done and listen to some music.
Jane SerraFebruary 7, 2015The WiFi password is whynotcoffeeNYC (don't forget to capitalize the NYC!) 🙆
loved the seat arrangement. also loved how the bathroom looks
SunainaJanuary 2, 2015Cute lil coffee spot to relax and get some work done. Art always inspires me...
Ranu RajkarnikarMarch 25, 2015Chai latte for the win. Lots of seating for working and chatting with friends.
NetsirkJune 17, 2015Lots of side tables for sitting and drinking coffee, working, or chatting with friends.
quite a range of milk choices: half & half, whole, 2%, skim, soy, almond
- Lears FoolNovember 23, 2015So many outlets. Even in the back with the benches. Bathroom is akin to an airplane john.
Great coffee, atmosphere, and music. Bathroom is gross

"Everything about this place is gold! I love the baristas, who are others-minded & kind. Fast-paced New York slows down in this open, warm, calm space. Latte art adorns delicious, well-crafted drinks."

"Try the Classic with Wild Western Nova and horseradish cream cheese on a plain bagel. Looking for something more decadent, go for the Daughter's Delight; rich but perfect."
