emily mcgillNovember 16, 2015love this 'secret' spot hidden in the middle of the flower district. delicious coffee and a pleasing aesthetic. the baristas are all lovely and you can peek into the design showroom in the back!
Ethan CJanuary 24, 2015Tucked along the flower district, a cozy cafe serving their original ALT beans roasted in Brooklyn. Parisian interior and tasty pastries. There is a interior showroom in the back too!
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 28, 2019Super cute spot tucked away in the middle of the flower district. PREMIUM COFFEE ALERT!! Being the coffee snob I am, I suggest ALT as an absolute must for anyone who enjoys good coffee like myself☕💯
The decor is beautiful and the coffee is the best in this area. Brewed fresh and individually so it's guaranteed to be delicious. Love it!
N ZOctober 18, 2019Incredible coffee, fresh, roasted and made to perfection. The staff was super friendly as well. The place is tiny though, so don’t count on sitting there.
Lucie PustovaMarch 14, 2018Coffee ice cubes in cold brew coffee.. so smart! Also great service from the baristas :)
Rebecca O'GradyMay 20, 2016Got a latte which was very good and a blueberry muffin which was also pretty good. Only a few seats so a pretty quick place to stop in and get something but not a good place to hang around
AdleyFebruary 26, 2018Cute small coffee spot in a beautiful flower street area. Stop by and grab some cookie and filter ;)
Irena PierovaNovember 8, 2019espresso was on the bitter side but with silky texture. Latte is very good with aftertaste of rum 😍
Justin HJuly 7, 2016I love this place! ALL the coffee is good. Also, the baked goods are sourced from a wide variety of yummy places around the city.
you can't go wrong with anything here. but it's tiny so shhhhh!! i am obsessed with the coffee, cookies, candles, mugs - everything!
JFebruary 8, 2019Amazing almond milk flat white and the most delicious and buttery pane sugar chocolat - a hidden neighborhood gem! ✨- Chad HornerOctober 31, 2015a delightful little shop in the flower district, you might have to come up with a targeted plan to try it due to their relatively limited hours
Praveena FernandesNovember 3, 2017The coffee is great. There is very minimal seating area: about 3. The pain au chocolat was a bit dry but the coffee is totally worth it :)
Colin AdamsSeptember 2, 2016Good selection of quick snacks: quiches, croissants, cookies, sandwhiches. And good espresso that they roast locally!
Sibel AkcekayaJanuary 15, 2017A new Best coffee choice in the neighborhood ..Great choice of parties too..I wish space was little bit bigger :)
Isaac GealerFebruary 24, 2014This place is pretty awesome - especially in the cookie black hole of NoMad/Chelsea/Flatiron. The baristas are very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely a win.
John AFebruary 27, 2015Awesome little coffee shop.. Great baristas that create some good brews.. Recommend the chocolate scone. A few stools.
AsyaJanuary 13, 2014One if the most beautiful of tiny coffee shops I've been to in NYC. And the coffee is good and hosts very friendly!- Nate BeattyJune 14, 2015The cold brew is outrageously good. They also make some of their awesome pastries bite-sized ... So I tried two.
Sami AvilesOctober 13, 2016Creamy latte, beautiful decor, but keep in mind if you're looking for a space to sit with your coffee, they only have two bar-height stools.
Shirley TsangApril 6, 2019Cute cozy cafe! Hidden in the flower district. Latte was good, friendly barista !
Sanjida BintekamalMay 5, 2016Get the pistachio loaf bread. It's no joke. Best loaf bread I've had in my entire life!
Cheap Best HiddenDecember 1, 2015Get your coffee to go and go to a different part of the city unless you’re buying flowers. Then you can do that first. Read more
- Angad SinghFebruary 6, 2016Their coffee is amazing. Guillermo and Ayla are one of the nicest baristas you could meet.
Alex RainertDecember 26, 2015Sweet little fancy coffee spot strangely positioned at the front of a home furnishing store.
Michelle WilesSeptember 17, 2016No room to sit. Grab a coffee to go and smell your way through the flower district
I love that place that's why I become mayor of it! 😀
Rob AtkinsonMay 17, 2016I got nervous when the cashier asked the barista if he knew how to make a cortado. More of a wet macchiato but good all the same
Really cute little cafe with tasty coffee, I recommend the drip.
Ryan AndersonMarch 7, 2015They have gluten free salted chocolate chip cookies, great to grab and go!
Gotta get their iced cappuccino. They used frozen coffee for ice cubes so your drink doesn't get diluted when t melts.
Iced Oatly latte - delicious! And super friendly baristas!
Meagan KirkpatrickSeptember 20, 2014Best little coffee shop #Chelsea. Pop in for an almond milk latte or cappuccino.
Erin H.August 16, 2014Absolutely delicious mocha! They use coffee ice cube or milk ice cubes as to not water down.- Emily RoAugust 26, 2018I came wearing this t-shirt, and they gave me a free coffee
Marci HyattOctober 1, 2016Great addition to the neighborhood. Delicious French coffee and pastries. A bit pricey but well worth it. After drinking coffee from Alt it is hard to go to Starbucks!
Elysia MannOctober 13, 2016So small and cute!!!!! Get coffee and wander the flower district for a happy morning
