    Love their espresso so much that I walk past FOUR other coffee shops to come here. 😉 Best espresso in the 72nd/Bway area.

    Cozy teeny-tiny place with some of the best coffee on the UWS, friendly service and truly fabulous donuts in classic and original flavors like lemon poppy, passion fruit, or hibiscus.

    The Upper West Side needed this. Tiny shop, but a good alternative to Joe or Irving Farm. Great music, baristas, and coffee.

    The Unicorn specialty drink here is basically a milkshake in a fancy glass. For all that it's delightful. The coffee is easily some of the best on the Upper West Side.

    Quality beans, $2.50 for a generous pour of single origin coffee. Worth it if you're in the area (pair with cookies from Levain nearby).

    It actually is the best coffee on the UWS. Mindblowingly good. Damn.

    One of the top 3 best mochas I've ever had. Only about 5 seats, but cozy atmosphere.

    Great barista, great coffee. The unicorn is slightly different but yum. Also they have doughnuts from Dough.

    Single origin coffees are incredible. Get it to go—it’s a very small space

    Solid coffee and donuts in a small, cozy setting, but with a surprisingly good amount of seating. Grab a spot on the bench by the window!

    Hipster coffee shop on the decidedly un-hip UWS. Go here when you want to elevate your coffee game. Try the Espresso Tonic. It sounds weird, but it works.
