Kevin Skobac: One of my favorite stops. A hole-in-the-wall espresso joint that serves killer espresso drinks & delicious olive oil cake. Not open late, and nowhere to sit, but its everything you want in coffee.
Anna James: Lattes and cured olive oil cookies are heavenly. Even their cortado and buckwheat cake are amazing.
Michael: Spacious below ground cafe with great coffee, great service and simple yet delicious cakes. My latte and olive oil cake were both delicious!
Kim Pham: A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate).
Chad Horner: different "projects" that offer a unique coffee experience: this is the nitro cold brew, and the original "project #1" is the deconstructed latte. it's cool!
J Arias: Cozy, inventive drinks; the deconstructed latte was an amazing experience; baristas are very friendly. I am definitively going again!
Buzz Andersen: I believe this is the most consistently excellent cappuccino I've had in NYC.
Douglas Elliman: A chill and quiet spot, perfect for studying and reading. Although the décor and menu are minimalistic, their coffee is brewed to absolute perfection. The baked goods went perfectly with our espresso.
Willem Van Lancker: An excellent no-frills espresso bar with great cold brew and pastries. Cash only.

Amit G: The espresso chocolate croissant is excellent
Nicole Sweat: One of the best espresso’s I’ve had in a long time! Espresso snob 🙌🏻 and the Labneh with Israeli bread is my #1 choice!
Noah Weiss: Probably the best savory bakery in NYC? Love the breakfast focaccias, croissants, and egg sandwiches. Great cortado and vibes, too.

Thrillist: Celebrating #BDOYL with us? If you're in search of a second wind, sip on an Espresso Old Fashioned and bite into an Insomnia cookie!
reece pacheco: only opened recently and/or discovered late in my Manhattan tenure, but this place is awesome. great espresso served in a little jar, quiet on the weekend mornings, laid back staff... do it.
Jastine Kho: Their seasonal maple latte is so so good!
ドーラ: This old world style Italian cafe offers New York Cheesecake, Italian Cheesecake, Sicilian Cheesecake. The cheesecake is perfectly creamy, fluffy and melts in your mouth. Enjoy with cappuccino!
Tara Roche: Everything is good. I particularly like the variety of cookies. Not too fancy perfect with espresso! Make sure u order in advance for the holiday!
Village Voice: This place has been dishing out Sicilian pastries for almost 120 years and serving espresso before it was all the rage. All the pastries are mouth watering, but save room for the mini tarts!
