perke perkeJune 4, 2015Their brewed in batches coffee is always fresh. Don't be scared of its fruitiness! Great place to work if you don't mind the bar counter. Decent internet connection. Get amazing beans for home.
Ben MackeyDecember 20, 2014Get the one + one! A double shot split between espresso and a cortado. Best of both worlds and a great way to taste the flavours of the bean.
Zayed KhanNovember 9, 2014Arguably the best espresso experience in NYC. Relax, and have a chat with the knowledgeable baristas while you sip. You'll leave wondering why all places don't serve their shots with sparkling water.
New York Coffee WeekOctober 19, 2015Foursquare users claim Box Kite has the best espresso in New York City. They also serve coffee from different roasters, including Ritual in San Francisco and MadCap in Michigan. Read more

Damian BayonaApril 24, 2016The spro cocktail is the stand out here and one of the most refreshing coffee drinks you'll ever have. They brew light, floral blends which lend themselves better to iced drinks
Peter LadaSeptember 4, 2015Get the one in one to compare the straight espresso with the macchiato. Beans from all over the country's best micro toasters. George Howell, Mountain Air Roasters, etc.
Hands down the best espresso drinks on St. Marks st. Turns into a speakeasy restaurant serving up amazing 12+ course tasting menu.
Amazing coffee and a really quiet and cozy place to bring your laptop and do some work. Go for the pour over instead of the drip. You won't be sorry.- The best kind of neighborhood coffee shop where the baristas know their stuff, the food is great, and everyone recognizes everyone else just enough.
Amy RobertsonMarch 15, 2015The latte and chai (both almond milk and regular milk) is amazingly thick a velvety
Phil KatzMarch 22, 2016Expertly pulled espresso, excellent beans from a rotating selection of roasters, great music. What's not to love.
EatMeDrinkMeNYCFebruary 7, 2014Eric and Cora are very dedicated to their coffee. They've moved to a dedicated spot in the East Village on St. Marks. A must see! And taste!
- Valentin GuerinSeptember 21, 2015Espresso was great, seat outside and enjoy the calm of St Marks during day time.
New York PostSeptember 21, 2014Box Kite stays open until 2 a.m. from Thursdays through Saturdays, also has an $85-a-person dinner-tasting menu. Read more
Ms HeleneMarch 7, 2016Almond cappuccino $5 for 6 oz. Good coffee, limited seating and slightly snobby hipster service
MarcMay 29, 2014Tasting Table Top 10 Iced Coffee: "Sometimes it's cold brewed, sometimes it's poured over ice and right now it's all MadCap Roaster."
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 18, 2013Occupying a temporary pop-up while they get their permanent digs ready, Box Kite Coffee is running a basic espresso-based operation on W Broadway in TriBeCa. They serve Madcap, roasted in Michigan.
Malcolm McGregorMarch 13, 2016One of the best cappuccinos in the city? They weigh each espresso shot. Enough said.
Edward SeborNovember 9, 2015Top EV coffee shop. On the pricier side ($4 americano) but friendly stall and right next to the park
Box Kite is doing good things w/coffee in NYC: serving Ritual (San Francisco), MadCap (Michigan), & sometimes Coffee Collective (Denmark).
Serious coffee. Rotating selection from indie roasters like Drop, Madcap, The Barn, and Tandem
cold brew here is super good and refreshing on a hot day. Best iced coffee in the hood
Kate FurmanMay 3, 2015Grab a cuppa and walk around Tompkins Square Park. Or sit by the windows to people watch.
Chelsea VanceJune 27, 2015Made me a custom meal based on my dietary restrictions. Super friendly and helpful!!
William HubaMarch 31, 2015Great coffee, tiny location but try to grab a spot at the bar and be all fancy.
Alexis BendjouiaNovember 12, 2015Great coffee but pricey. Iced almond milk latte is most $$ I've had--$5.75!
Tudor LeuMarch 2, 2014With Ritual and Madcap coffees, and top-notch skill, you're in good hands here.
