    I had the New Orleans style iced coffee. The flavor is very different than any typical iced coffee. A bit on the sweeter side which I typically avoid but I needed this pick-me-up and it hit the spot!

    5star cold brew at a 5star place. Always super friendly baristas and arguably some of the best cold brew in city. So strong and over-the-top rich, it's truly a treat every time!

    A New York branch of the famed San Francisco coffee roaster. In addition to the typical coffee options, try the New Orleans-style iced coffee made with chicory.

    Great service in this small shop tucked away under Rockefeller Center. We talked the barista's ear off about what makes them special for 10mins before finally ordering the New Orleans iced coffee.

    you know that moment when the barista's face lights up when you start talking to them about beans and brewing methods? every blue bottle is like that -- this one is no exception.

    Expect to be lost, this place is tucked in the corner but def worth the search. New orleans cold brew was the perfect afternoon coffee I just needed! Can't wait to try other diff brews on the menu-

    Everything looks amazing. No seats available.Under Rockefeller so no seats during lunch time.Purchased the Three Africans which is just regular coffee but a great taste.

    Best coffee in this saturated area. Hard to find but worth hunting down to get better-than-Starbucks coffee. This was an oasis for this SF-er.

    Went there to try their mocha, they had run out of chocolate. Tried their capuchino instead, it tasted really good. There is always a line at this place i guess. Will try their mocha next time.

    You'll have enough coffee connoisseurs to advise so let's focus on snacks: the ginger molasses cookie is the way to go! Chewy and super gingery like an Indonesian ginger chew.🍬

    Tucked somewhere in the Rockefeller's basement. Not a sit-in location, but hey you're in Midtown anyway. Coffee is really good though.

    Five words: Best coffee in the world! ...four more words: get the New Orleans. You can't go wrong with any Blue Bottle option though!

    I will go 2 extra subway stops to get their New Orleans iced coffee. Their maple pecan bars are a new favorite now. Favorite coffee in the city.

    Packed with business peeps during the 2pm slump. Tourists go to the nearby Starbucks but locals know this place is the best around. Pour over heaven and the iced New Orleans is pure heaven.

    Great freshly roasted bean selection but extremely busy. Great if you already know what you like, but not a great introduction to blue bottle if you don't really know what you like.

    Best thing to happen to midtown coffee ever. Finally an alternative to the ubiquitous sbux!! And OMG the new Orleans iced coffee just changed my life. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

    My favorite daily coffee fix. Always go for the single origin pour over. And let’s not forget the amazingly made to order waffles!! 🤤🤤🤤

    Both the coffee and the long line are super consistent. Worth the wait if you have few extra minutes.

    Delicious, premium coffee in a quaint location. Their cold brew is unreal, especially the New Orleans. Afternoon lines can be semi-annoying

    Probably less of a line on weekends, than any other blue bottle location in nyc, by virtue of being tucked away in an underground mall/cafe area.

    Please don't come in here looking for Starbucks flavors. This is real coffee. Get the New Orleans iced.

    Seriously one of the most consistent cups of coffee. Try a Giant Steps or a Three Africas pour over, or order a Trafalgar from the secret menu

    Located in the basement of the building. The mocha is amazing, but be aware that it is nowhere near as sweet as its competitors (which is why it is so good!)

    Great spot for a cappuccino in the middle of the work day if you can find it. Have a Mast Brothers Double Chocolate Cookie with it.

    Best Coffee in midtown by far; a bit hidden but worth seeking out. Grab a snickerdoodle with your order and don't forget to tip your barista!

    Walk into Rockefeller Center by the ice rink. Turn left, go down the stairs. Turn right and keep walking. Blue bottle will be on the left. You're welcome.

    This joint is hard to find: go into 1 Rockerfeller (enter off 49th or 48th) and go down into the basement where you'll find it. It's worth the search

    This location is tucked away on the concourse level. It's directly south of the ice rink, right under W 49th St.

    Everyone has different preference for coffee but a lot of people seem to like Blue Bottle. Since the place is small, line often goes outside the shop but it is shorter than it looks

    Good espresso in 30 Rock. Can take a bit, not the best if you in a rush. 10% discount if you work in the building.

    When the temperature rises, head to New Orleans. This iced treat has a taste of hickory and refreshes as it lifts the spirits.
