I love this spot. Cool atmosphere, nice staff. I love the teas, bagels, and the iced mocha is divine. If I lived in the area, I'd be here every day.
Petka MikusovaJune 17, 2016They do not know how to make a good coffee at all. Asked for flat white, showed them how much milk should be added and still received a big cup with a milk filled up all the way to the top.
The Corcoran GroupOctober 15, 2013Great little coffee shop to stop in with our pup and our laptop. We love to get the chai latte and power through some work (free Wifi here!).
Great coffee, but the service leaves something to be desired. I go here multiple times a week, and often weeks go by before my order is correct. Also, their "avocado spread" is just guacamole.
Cassie WallaceApril 28, 2015Amazing music, good coffee, really chill and not pretentious spot in the East Village. Come here to do work or read a book. But hold your nose in the bathroom.
My go to study spot during finals - free wifi and they are open until midnight. Dirty chai is great and they have Hale & Hearty soups for a cold night.
Alvaro CastilloJune 9, 2013Great chill NYC coffee shop with a few locations. Great place to do work. Beats the rat packed Starbucks where doing any sort of work or chilling is virtually impossible
Perfect place 2 study since the place closes at midnight! Food is a bit pricey but get the $5 lunch - it's a steal. Don't recommend the tempeh salad - would prefer if food was a bit more fresh
Jacob ForsterAugust 10, 2015Best iced vanilla dirty chai I've ever had! Fantastic place to get some work done with fast wifi, it's spacious, and they even have printing.
Carly AyresNovember 11, 2014Perfect place to grab a chai, a table, and get some work done. Loud-ish music, so not great for calls, but free wifi (no password required).
Eran DrorNovember 11, 2018Laptop-Free area is very selectively enforced. They forced me to move to a back area with no electricity or light and then ignored the 4 people with laptops that sat there for the next 2 hours.
Kt LacasseJanuary 6, 2015This place is my favorite lazy afternoon hangout, as well as my hangover cure. Lovely atmosphere. Get the kale smoothie!
Kelsey WilliamsJanuary 18, 2015The gluten free bagels here are awesome! They're are on the small side, but are the closest tasting to a real bagel!!- Annie LuOctober 14, 2012Abundant plugs, comfy pillows/seating, free wifi, super nice staff. The hot chocolate steamer is amazing. Free doggy biscuits for your pets too.
New York PRJanuary 21, 2014I loved that I could bring my dog along. I think $7 is a lot for a small pumpkin spice almond milk latte that was nothing special. For that price I would at least expect latte art.
Ayelet AAugust 3, 2017Nice neighborhood coffee house. A great place to sit with you laptop, very chill atmosphere.
Allyssa ManningOctober 25, 2015my favorite coffee shop in the city! vegan cream cheese for lactose intolerant. my dog loves it here
Sue EllenJune 5, 2018Love this place! Great place for studying, working or Gavin a meeting! Has printers too!
Gabrielle ShinerAugust 11, 2013Comfortable coffee shop, great for working in. Free wifi and vegan pastries. Chai latte is delicious - mighty sweet, but mighty flavorful!
AmateurConciergeApril 9, 2017The busiest of the Beans tends to get real hot from the sunlight in the early evening
Great atmos. Locals abound. Dogs aplenty. My kind of place. Drinks too sweet! Food prepackaged. Bring your own stuff- Great coffee shop for studying and a late-night coffee. Also this is a dog-friendly place.
Alyssa AndersonJanuary 7, 2016Great place to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the free wifi AND charging ports.- Lita XuAugust 4, 2015Although they r willing to help, they definitely don't have manner to warm the sandwich properly. Prepare yourself to get only cold sandwich or a warm but sticky one.
The Bean is the Best!! Great coffee great food great place and you can even bring your pet there!!
Ajay KulkarniAugust 18, 2012Great cafe to get some work done. Not the best coffee, but the 80s music in the background will make up for it.
Ms HeleneMarch 15, 2014Consistently weak and watery coffee. Shame since it's a nice spot to watch the world go by. Free wifi so lots of students. Soy latte disappointed.
Iced Dirty Chai! Staff is fantastic! Great place for when you need to get work done!
Ramya SampathMay 31, 2013Tasty earl grey tea and fruity cereal macaroon. Banana pudding is delicious too!
Great music and comfy chairs! The wifi password is on a sign by the register.
Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 18, 2015Free wifi and a good spot for hanging with a friend. The drinks are great here too!- Lita XuAugust 21, 2015Good atmosphere for working, nice brew. Only bad is all their sandwich are cold
Kayden H.July 27, 2012Good espresso drinks, natural light from giant floor-to-ceiling windows, and plenty of seating.
Stay away from the windows on the south side during the afternoon hours where the sun can get really intense
Get the Banana Bean Organic Smoothie with peanut butter! Amazingggg!!
Nastya SummerJune 12, 2017I would say "super comfy" about this place. And chai latte is really amazing
Jason BrewJune 11, 2016Popular neighborhood coffee spot. Cold brew is not the best in the area but solid
Harsh MallAugust 11, 2015Put away your headphones and enjoy the amazing music they play. ++iced chai, free wifi.
