Top 5 Cafes in New York

1385 6th Ave, New York, NY 10019, United States

“This dark, poorly decorated, small place serves one of the best espresso drinks I’ve ever tasted. Dark roasted, full bodied packed with hazelnut and brown sugar flavors. Their cappuccinos and cortados are unreal, prepared so skillfully that you just have to order a second one after your first sip. Definitely a Top 3 among the coffees that I’ve tasted in the US.”

“Great food, drinks, and service!”

556 N Country Rd, St James, NY 11780, United States

“The food was great, and the prices are very reasonable. The music playlists are also perfect for the energy/vibe of this restaurant. The drinks are amazing, and so is the coffee! They sell paintings as well. The bathroom is cutely decorated just as the rest of the place is!”

55 Merrick Rd, Amityville, NY 11701, United States

“We went for lunch and ordered a bowl and a Grecian. We also ordered two coffee drinks. The food was delicious, but small portions. The atmosphere was a little loud for my taste. The service was impeccable however. We went again two weeks later. We had a panini and 2 orders of pancakes. Delicious again!!! The food and service is consistently awesome!”

“Sharing one review but I’ve been to Bird & Branch multiple time so these are some of the photos from my various visits here. This is one of my favorite coffee places in NYC - it has a Japanese-fusion inspired menu and the drinks are named after birds. I love the creativity this place has put into their menu. They also rotate the drinks seasonally so the menu stays fresh. Although I don’t have a picture of it I highly recommend the iced passionfruit black tea during the summer -it’s a refreshing drink and not too sweet. The snowy owl and the mockingbird are definitely worth a try during the colder months. Their food menu is also really on point. I love the miso hummus toast -it’s like a vegan caprese toast and it’s delicious. The egg sandwich and the matcha square are also personal favorites of mine. Highly recommend this place!”

“Remi Flower and Coffee is an absolute gem! This place is a sanctuary for the senses. From the moment you step in, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sight of vibrant blooms greet you. There are plenty tables inside and outside. Their lattes are pure artistry, not only bursting with flavor. They do particular flavors like Rose or Lavender (see picture). And the October touch? They served our lattes in pumpkin cups we brought! A delightful experience that marries taste, ambiance, and personal touch flawlessly.”

“Exponentially one of the better coffee place near Bryant park. Skip all the others which are near to the park, not worth the wait and price. I’ll recommend to get their drip coffee variations. Baristas are friendly but do tend get engrossed in their own world when making coffee. Only negative is their tiny lobby with limited seating space. Hurts in winter but other times you can just grab one on the go and enjoy it at the park.”

130 Franklin St, New York, NY 10013, United States

“Visited Gotan for lunch with a a colleague. The brick interiors add a lot of character to the place and it was a pretty spacious restaurant. We went during lunch so it was a bit crowded. The front desk staff helped me with recommendations, she was pleasant and accommodating. I ordered: 1. Cafe Mocha - 5/5 - it was so warm and comforting, absolutely delicious. 2. Beets, arugula and pesto sandwich (special for the day) - 5/5. Was warm and hearty, bread was perfectly toasted. Absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an option in the area.”

“Cool coffee shop with plenty of seating. The coffee was good, but the staff was not very friendly. Not mean. Just not friendly. They sell some food and teas. I came here in my search to find a good coffee shop to work in … not for me. It would be great for others but not for me. Why? Music is very loud and the wifi sucks. There is a small room in the back with couches that is quieter but it was hot and your the loud guy if you need to make a call. Now, making calls was not the issue, it was the bad wifi. If you need a coffee shop without wifi that is loud, this place is great. It is quaint and comfy with the couches and the old school look. Space - large with lots of seating Staff - not so friendly Prices - moderate to high Work - they welcome people to work on laptops.”

“This little bakery is so cute. There is parking if you go past a little- I didn't realize that at first. Everyone is really friendly and helpful. The croissants were pretty good, but were kind of crunchy/crumbled a little too easily for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the Raspberry frosting cookie- but I think it's gluten free or something and that's why. Overall- would definitely come back and try their breakfast menu because there was a whole bunch of different options.”

55 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10014, United States

“It's the perfect spot for a coffee break or a leisurely brunch. The baristas here truly understand the art of coffee-making, and the quality of their brews is consistently top-notch. I always leave with a smile on my face 😊. The menu offers a delightful range of food and beverage options, and the Cappuccino & avocado toastare my personal favorite. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. It's no wonder this cafe has earned its 5-star reputation. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a little taste of heaven in the West Village!!”

“Came here after seeing the signs of best sponge cake in town and decided to give a try. Walking in you have to go straight past the door and will see the shop (with another door). The sponge cakes are $1.00 for the original and $1.25 for flavoured sponge cakes (such as pandan, ube, coconut and more). The sponge cakes are freshly made and a good snack size. They also serve coffee, lemon tea and other drinks at a reasonable price. Highly recommend giving this place a quick try if you’re in the Chinatown area.”

44 Raymond Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603, United States

“Wonderful experience, customer service was amazing and the food was delicious. Definitely a great place to get work done when it isn’t too busy. If I lived in the area this would be my everyday coffee shop. Also the prices are amazing. My friends and all got drinks and breakfast sandwiches for around $50 including tip”

“Excellent business. The best coffee in NY at a great price. I had a washed Colubia prepared on a filter and it was really delicious.”

223 Front St, New York, NY 10038, United States

“Such a cute bakery! Excellent Brazilian cheese bread and caramelized banana bread. The dulce de leche latte was also delicious. Highly recommend!”

178 E 7th St, New York, NY 10009, United States

“One of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had. The shop sells an edited menu of breakfast sandwiches along w salads, loafs, pastries and coffee. We had the pork belly & egg on a roll, as well as the mushroom/egg on toast. So good, can’t believe I’d never noticed this spot. It’s take out w some outdoor seating. There is a big line but goes quickly and they bring out sandwiches when ready.”

15 Station Square, Queens, NY 11375, United States

“My oh my was this spot a great experience. I came here for a brunch and everything was 100% on point. The food was amazing especially - the Takoyaki were my favorite. Definitely a place I will revisit.”

“I recently visited this cafe and was impressed by its great ambiance. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the menu offered a fantastic variety of delicious foods. The freshly squeezed orange juice is a must-try, and the beets sandwich was absolutely delicious. A delightful dining experience overall!”
