    Strong coffee made by super friendly staff. Good soy lattes and even their decaf Americano tasted great. Only 3 tables and limited bar seating but a nice break from Nolita and Soho shopping.

    I have no idea what a "Piccolo Latte" is, but it appears to be a delicious and slightly more potent cortado. Just try it.

    Doughnut Plant and killer espresso? Sold. Pick up a loyalty card; you'll be back for more.

    Very well priced, tasty coffee. There are even tables, which is rare for these hole-in-the-wall spots. Lots of bike parking too.

    Doughnut Plant doughnuts! But you gotta get there pretty early if you want any selection, so hop to it!

    This place has great coffee but mostly I can't get enough of the exposed brick on the inside.

    The piccolo latte is a rare find in these parts. Slightly less milk than a cortado.

    They use Counter Culture coffee. Its amazing much better than Le Colombe in opinion. People that work here are really nice too. They could use better tunes though.

    These people are so nice. Makes me not wanna ever buy a coffee anywhere else. Oh and get the Tres Leches doughnut -- it'll change your life.

    Bring the paper and sneak out of work when it's sunny out. Also there's no rule saying you can't have a donut with your espresso.

    The coffee is good, the macaroons are even better. Don't leave without one (or more).

    Great coffee but the trap music playing on volume 1000 at 8:30am is "OD"

    Local place, be sure of spending more than $10 to pay with plastic money. And...piccolo means small in italian.
