DoubleDeuceDecember 6, 2013They have the same stools to sit on as every Chemistry class that I have ever taken. Coffee Chemistry.
For a great experience , go in the morning. Totally different atmosphere in the late afternoon.
Geoffroy BablonApril 28, 2014While you're sipping your coffee, check out all the fancy equipment along the back wall.
Peggy ChenJuly 27, 2014New Orleans is amazingly good!! Taste a bit of alcohol in Kyoto ice coffee. . .
It really is that good. The coffee is roasted on-site and sold in 1/2 pound bags for $8.50 - $11. Just follow your nose on a roasting day and you will find it.
Briana WuagneuxJanuary 6, 2013No lie - the best latte I've EVER had! Coffee is sweet and furthest thing from bitter. Soooo good!
Food RepublicJune 4, 2012We have no issues dropping bills and getting our coffee freak on at Blue Bottle. New Orleans iced or Kyoto iced please.
There other places where you can go for a good coffee and not have to queue for so long- Amazing coffee - FYI there is no wi-fi, just enjoy the coffee!
Yiğit GülerApril 11, 2016They are brewing on a disposable cup, transfer to another disposable cup and serve. they throw the first cup to the trash each time! He wasted 5 new cups in 5 minutes. Why not use a glass pot?
Food & WineApril 21, 2011Owner James Freeman's constantly changing coffee menu is more complicated than most wine lists, highlighting regions, varietals, altitudes and processing methods.

Dan. MastrettaJune 6, 2014The taste of the coffee here is so good you almost don't feel that extra two dollars they add just to hype their product.
Pour-over coffee for sure. Their iced coffee has a strange aftertaste but people swear by it.- Brian TafelAugust 4, 2010This is serious alchemist coffee. They know the science of chemical reactions in brewing. It's wonderful. The Koto Cup is very special!
They'll steam milk in tea for you if you're feeling a little coffee-d out!
- SukiSeptember 20, 2020The old location was really cool and industrial. New one is sterile and unwelcoming.
Helmut LangOctober 5, 2010BROOKLYN. Simply the most tasteful coffee out there; in style and flavor. The Yemen drip coffee is out of this world. Read more
Julie McMahonOctober 8, 2012The ultimate in coffee sophistication. And the baristas are nice. Well done.
Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2014Possibly the BEST coffee I've ever had. Absolutely NO wifi. This place always has a line out the door. They're not trying to have you stick around. Order and go. Huge pastry kitchen, but never tried.
Get a Gibraltar, their version of a cortado. It's really good.
Uber NYCAugust 22, 2013Offering buy one get one free on New Orlean's Iced Coffee during Uber NYC's #BKLOVESuberX, 8/23-25/13.
Amazing cold-brewed ice coffee. Love the au lait as well. Easily the best coff I've had in the city.
Dev PJanuary 13, 2011Yes, it's worth going to Billyburg just to have this coffee. Glad foursquare led me to. Drip drip drip...sip sip sip
Coffee is excellent but they need to back that table up. Crowding the registers.
