Jessica PlacenciaNovember 25, 2015Unique coffee options and hipster baristas to tell you all about them. Downstairs is usually empty and quiet. Don't be turned off by the giant fridge in the room, great space for getting work done.Upvoted Apr 4
Noah WeissDecember 24, 2013The ideal downtown work spot. Great single origin coffees brewed with clover machines. Huge tables with lighting that doesn't suck. Reasonably good free wifi. Only downside is no power outlets.
Andrius RomanovskisJanuary 7Japanese - Swedish family runs a stylish place with very good blend for espresso, nice baristas and a fine Macha Raw energy bars. As all Scandinavians they favour cashless payments.Upvoted Apr 4
Perfect for a lazy morning. Grab their perfectly fluffy whole wheat croissant with an Ethiopian espresso.

Carl FigueiredoFebruary 12, 2016Excellent cafe tucked away just blocks from World Trade Center. Great roasting program & execution of espresso / pour-over drinks. Make sure to check out the Alpha Dominche pour-over machine.
One of the top coffee shops in the city. They have an excellent selection of coffees, teas and coffee drinks. Don't forget to use your Kaffe card {Buy 10 get the next drink free}
Chris VolinskyJuly 6, 2015Best coffee in NYC? If you are into coffee, and I mean real, straight, black coffee, and enjoy the varietal differences of different countries, must try their impeccably brewed cups o joe.
Untapped CitiesJuly 15, 2013Sheep, the shop's mascot, decorate Kaffe 1668's walls. Enter the cafe's cave-like basement for a completely different experience. Also, try the shop's fresh-pressed juices. Read more
Lin LingJune 14, 2013Great coffee! I get one before work most days! The croissants are good! The main floor space offers a nice ambience, and the downstair space is quiet - great for work or alone time!
Darrin MaloneNovember 4, 2014The atmosphere and vibe of this place is great. They were just playing The Usual Suspects on the projector and people weren't obnoxious. Great coffee and espresso drinks. Laptop worker approved.- DoubleDeuceJanuary 28, 2015Coziest downstairs of any coffee shop in Manhattan that I've found. Probably the only one too, haha. But it's got comfortable seating and very low noise levels which are great respite from the City.
Any drink ordered here will be superbly prepared and delicious. Friendly service, the place has an excellent vibe! It does get quite busy; enjoy a quieter setting downstairs. Dig the light fixtures.
Hands down the best latte in Manhattan. A little expensive but how can you not love the fluffy little sheep that decorate the entire shop. Skip the food. There are better options nearby
Kaffe has been one of our favorites since the coming of the third wave. With the addition of wine and juices, a solid spot whatever your needed poison or antidote may be.- Joe SheppardNovember 23, 2014Secret work stations downstairs -- quiet, good light, big wooden table or private booth. (Wifi password: ilovesheep) Don't tell anyone!
Andrew JonesJanuary 27, 2016Cosy, free wifi and lots of sheep. The coffee is great and it attracts a very trendy crowd. Oh and the wifi code is ilovesheep
Simon HSeptember 28, 2014Its pretty good... But not as good as laughing man in the same neighborhood. Yes, its trendier with some nice art on the walls, but the flat white at laughing man still wins hands down.
Tina WongJanuary 10, 2012This narrow space is good for the mornings when you don't have to rush out the door. The atmosphere kind of feels like Stumptown but a little more elegant. Any espresso-based drink is good here.
They now serve cold pressed juices. Their coffee/espresso quality has a bit more variation unfortunately now than their early days with new hires etc. still, a very good place for the area.
Ms HeleneDecember 14, 2012A smooth and sweeter coffee than others. Great seating space that's dimly-lit and cosy but roomy at the same time. Wifi too. Small soy latte $4.50 to stay
M A T T B E R N S O NOctober 4, 2012They put the Clover drip on the map. They invented checking out with an iPad. References to the olde with lots of progress and cutting edge style. Oh, and great coffee.
It can be difficult to get a seat near a plug upstairs, but the downstairs space offers many more. Wifi is strong, there's good food w/ a Nordic bent and a variety of coffee roasters on Clover. Read more

The basement is a fantastic study spot. Usually you'll find Stuyvesant HS students here. I'm glad an alternative to Starbucks finally opened up. Counter Culture served here.
Bruce HaydonJanuary 13Great place to meet for business or to catch up with a friend. A little dark, but good free Wi-Fi despite the fact there are almost no power outlets.
The Corcoran GroupApril 1, 2011Little coffee house serving delicious, smokey and memorable brews. Great place to hang out with your laptop and enjoy a cup and a yummy pastry.
Kevin SkobacDecember 30, 2014Great place to work with good coffee, strong wifi, and tons of seating. Charge your laptop ahead of time though, very few power plugs.
Intelligencia, Ecco and Counter Culture all served up in this chill bi-level coffee shop (pop downstairs where they hide both the restrooms and seating for a dozen more caffeine and free wifi lovers)
Love this place! Latte machiato and peppermint tea are my favs! Also love the hummous avocado sandwich and Swedish Cave cookie. All are incredibly delish!
One of the best mochas I've had in the city. Great ambiance and some good food as well. A weekend morning favorite for us.
Michael DonovanOctober 23, 2016They know how to fill their cups! Every time I order a coffee, it's filled to the top. I feel like I have Parkinson's as my coffee flys everywhere. Top notch
New York HabitatOctober 18, 2011Don't be surpised if there's a line at this TriBeCa café. Free wifi with purchase makes it a good place to relax while you sip on your brew.
This is my favorite cafe in New York. They have wonderful coffee, and it is a remarkably nice cafe for getting work done.- Although it can be difficult to get a seat near a plug, the modern industrial design of this place is compelling. Coffee quality is uneven but they have a good selection of coffee roasters & food.
JauntedApril 16, 2011If you want to taste one of the most flavorful coffees of your life, get the Bolivian on the Clover. Downstairs area is nice, perfect for working where it's quieter.- Great coffee! Definitely mix it up. Get a cortado or macchiato...great coffee art from skilled baristas! Great vibe, but check out downstairs too for a chiller area.
fraJanuary 19, 2014excellent coffees, fantastic watching them make it in their specialised equipment.- Nas BenaliNovember 4, 2014Trendy place. Really good lattes. If you don't find seating as you enter, no worries, there's more downstairs and it's quieter.
Sasho NikolovJanuary 29, 2014Cute place, and if you don't feel like coffee the tea selection is good too. No idea why they are playing Terminator on a giant screen right now.
The ambiance here with candles & a long wooden table is fabulous. Coffee is great too. They sell Toby's Estate in store.
The only cafe you should go to in TriBeCa. Delicious coffee & espresso, super friendly and laid-back staff, great ambience.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideJanuary 8, 2012It can be difficult to get a seat near a plug, but the modern industrial design of this place is compelling. Coffee quality is uneven but they have a good selection of coffee roasters & good food.
Mustafa Al NiamaMay 20, 2014The Cortado is delicious and the right afternoon boost if you're feeling sleepy. 9/10
Eat the turkey curry sandwich: smoked turkey, curry sauce w walnuts & raisins, arugula, radish. Wash down with one of the best cup of coffee in the city.
they've ditched intelligentsia for some brooklyn-based roaster. while i trust the former, i must say that taste and quality have remained the same.
Rob AtkinsonJanuary 18, 2016It would be good for working if everyone else hadn't already discovered it was good for working. Espresso was sweet and right, though I was slightly annoyed when the barista spilled my cortado
John Michael CassettaDecember 2, 2014Single-origin coffee here is great. But good luck getting a seat to get any work done...lot of screenplays being written in here.
For this area, it's the best coffee. But if you want the best coffee and best experience go to La Colombe on Church and Lispenard (close to Canal).
Elie BleierJune 3, 2014Hip, wealthy yuppie bankers and parents. And awesome coffee. If space permits, cool study area downstairs. Insanely expensive food.
Ari SchulerDecember 13, 2014Amazing coffee. There is a small amount of seating - more than you might think - behind the pillar by the coffee bar.
Lisa ParavanoSeptember 17, 2013love the vibe, love the ambience, hate the douchey baristas & paying $5 for a cup of coffee that takes 15 mins to make.
ShaynaApril 19The cortado is unbelievable. One of the best flavor profiles ever - a delicious nutty smoothness - favorite coffee in NY!
ºDamian White ºApril 25, 2012They are serious about their coffee here!! Good thing too, cause I like it that way! Low key, free wifi, but don't order food--$10 for a simple sliced bread sandwich?!?… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Lisa DiepMarch 26, 2014No outlet plugs at all, but still a sweet space to do work esp downstairs. Biscuit with raspberry jam is delicious!
IrinaJanuary 16Flat white was good but bigger than expected, croissant was yum. Baristas were indifferent though - didn't notice even a hint of smile on their faces in 20 Minutes 😐
Evren AvserenApril 18, 2015I really felt peaceful here. Interesting atmosphere with dim light and candles. Great place to read or freelancing.
Try the salted caramel chocolate piece. Well worth every nibble. It has a hint of almond roca in it.
- Joe SheppardOctober 29, 2014Committed to good, strong coffee, cute ceramics too. Chill vibe but can attract laptop warriors & FiDi power meetings.
Mish and RobMay 26, 2015It's a bit pretentious, but it smells amazing and the coffees are perfect. We just stopped here for a quick break, so didn't try the wifi.- Closest to a quality Seattle coffee shop in NYC. Good coffee, cool music, nice space, free internet & chill vibe.
Mariel LëmairDecember 23, 2016Potent espresso on their yummy cappuccino. Lovely space with large-wooden community table with lots of space.
Zain M.November 14, 2015When you get off the WTC Path station, don't go to a Starbucks, go here. One of the best coffees in the area.
Anything you order here will be amazing. Don't add anything, just drink it as it comes. You'll love it.
Guillaume FlandreJanuary 15, 2016Good coffee and kusmi tea, lights are dimmed which is kind of weird but I enjoyed it. Bathrooms close after 6pm
Andrew FurmanJanuary 81668 is the year that New Yorkers started drinking coffee for breakfast instead of beer. 🍺➡️☕️
Hani AlawadiJune 10, 2014A very good coffee quality. Recommended for caffeine addicts. Try one of individually brewed coffee.
I love kids, but there are SOOO MANY KIDS HERE. Otherwise, fantastic coffee and great workspace
Best coffee I've had anywhere and I've had a $12 cup elsewhere lol. Bring some lemon juice and sprinkle it on their ooie gooie cookies =D
Cicy FanMay 5, 2016In case you are starved and waiting for a table at a restaurant near by, the pastries are all very good
Elaine A.August 6, 2015Lovely cortado and interior. Downstairs is a little busy with workers constantly moving supplies around.
Dusan MurcoOctober 26, 2014Great place for wokrking. They have good coffee, comfy seating for coffice and fast wifi.
Probably my favorite cafe in NYC! The Cappuccino is really good! The vibe is quaint and laid back.
Steven HassallNovember 13, 2014Not sure about the love for sheep but the latte is one of the best I've had in NYC
My favorite coffee place in the city. Any of their espresso based is a good choice.
Nadia NeophytouApril 12, 2012The quirkiness of the "sheeplove" vibe here makes this place great for coffee and enjoying a cool atmosphere.
Ethan CAugust 10, 2014Much brighter and casual then the one up the road. Great espresso drinks and decent lunch options nevertheless!!
micchele tottiJanuary 17, 201510 minutes to get a Macchiato. 3 baristas working, one playing with Netflix on a huge screen one one seems to be working and the third went away. Macchiato finally arrives cold and very bitter, no tha
Always ask for the guest espresso, they change it all the time with great single origins and blends!
John BrennanJune 16, 2013The basement is quiet and (very) comfortable. Great place to get some work done, esp bc they have free wifi.- Certain seats along the wall get icy AC air in summer. Bring a sweatshirt.
The coffee is good not great but the food options are fantastic. If you need something to go this is a great option.- John WallerMarch 7, 2013Awesome, extensive selection of intelligentsia coffees here. Tres Santos was great
Karan TamhaneJanuary 9, 2015Great coffice! Coffee is awesome and the wifi is good. Nice, quiet space downstairs.
Christopher PepeApril 6, 2014Seriously excellent coffee but the sheep motif and ridiculously oversized table throw me off a bit. Everything seems oversized, actually.
Most amazing coffee shop I've been to in NYC. There's a secret downstairs. Read, think, be happy.
Anna AnnaNovember 27, 2011Supper cool place. Nice atmosphere, great coffee just only one issue what's up with all baristas so not nice. But I definitely will come back
Lillian ChiouSeptember 17, 2013Delicious latte. Not as great as la colombe but will do. Also, they play the Strokes. Love it.
- They play movies off Netflix on the HD projector screen in the evenings. It's pretty awesome.
Seriously one of the best cafes in NYC. Great ambiance and excellent coffee.
Shantanu JoshiOctober 13, 2014Don't forget to check out the downstairs area. Spectacular cortado as well.
Ekaterina KurashevaOctober 24, 2014Уютное местейчко поработать, даже днем полумрак со свечками с вай-фаем (в собрате на Бич стрит его нет), но в ланч-тайм довольно оживленно. Латте вкусный, Чай Латте - тоже!
Antoine Negre3 weeks agoUn des meilleurs coffeshop de quartier! Parfait apres un footing sur les bords de la rivière
