Kim PhamDecember 23, 2015A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate).
Sydney LimApril 24, 2016Love the owner- super friendly, patient, and knowledgable. The coffee projects not only look, but taste great too. Only $7 for the whole tray. Try the nitro coffee project!
Great espresso. The $7 deconstructed latte is worth doing at least once in your life. Tasty chai latte, too.
Colin AdamsApril 25, 2016Don't recommend coming here to try to work, as there aren't many seats and most are reserved for no laptops or tablets. But it's a great place to enjoy coffee with a friend or just relax!
Daniel LublinerJuly 8, 2017This is without a doubt the best coffee shop in Manhattan. Love the atmosphere, the super welcoming baristas + owners, Sum and Kalina. Their innovative drinks and cold brew are what make it perfect.
Caroline DengAugust 11, 2016Coffee Project is located in a quiet area in the East Village. They open early (7 AM) and try to get there earlier to try the Deconstructed Latte before it gets crowded.
Try Project #1: The deconstructed latte. Espresso then steamed milk and then your latte. A great way to taste all the flavours.
If you're looking for coffee in the East Village then you must give The Coffee Project a try. The nitro cold brew on tap was the smoothest cold coffee I've ever had the pleasure of drinking.
J AriasMarch 18, 2018Cozy, inventive drinks; the deconstructed latte was an amazing experience; baristas are very friendly. I am definitively going again!
CarolNovember 10, 2015Lovely little spot in the East Village. The baristas were so kind and were meticulous about their craft. Definitely learned something as I enjoyed Project No. 1!
This is without a doubt my fav coffee place in Manhattan. I'm controlling caffeine consumption so I had their Misugaru (trad Korean oat milk) and it's unbelievably also great.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍December 28, 2019Coffee Project is a modern, clean cut, a lot of wood and white type of space. Known for their "Deconstructed Latte" which is great but, I normally just stick to regular latte or drip coffee
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimMarch 2, 2022Trendy little cafe, full with sunlight and everyone’s extremely friendly! The deconstructed lattes are fun, you get yours perfectly the way you want it. S’mores latte is amazing! Pain au chocolat✨
- Chad HornerSeptember 15, 2016different "projects" that offer a unique coffee experience: this is the nitro cold brew, and the original "project #1" is the deconstructed latte. it's cool!
Sarah MaguireDecember 14, 2015I'm not typically a cold brew fan, but the nitro cold brew was incredible! The deconstructed latte was worth the hype as well. A cute coffee spot perfect for a lazy weekend morning!- Definitely one of the best nitro cold brews in the city. Get it for here and they give it to you in a tall glass. The staff is super friendly.
EzgiJune 14, 2016Great spot to really enjoy some elegant brew. Everyone from the staff to the customers are extremely friendly and close knit. Really a great way to start the day!- Colin AdamsApril 25, 2016If you've never had it, get the deconstructed latte. It's a fun experience to analyze the flavored at play. Otherwise go for the nitro coffee (cold brew).
Damian BayonaApril 17, 2016Definitely try the nitro which is creamy though not strong. The espresso is well balanced though leaning towards the lighter side. Baristas are very knowledgable.
AdleyFebruary 26, 2018Yay small but very cosy coffee spot! Tasty coffee and matcha! They have also some tasting coffee menu so check it out!
Lee PlumbeJanuary 12, 2017Love this coffee shop. So glad we found it. Amazing, strong, delicious flat whites. Friendly service, always good music playing. Would make this my local if I lived here!
Olga K.July 15, 2019Really cool idea of decorated lattes where you know exactly how your coffee was brought together. Great friendly staff.
TiffanyNovember 19, 2015They have coffee projects where they experiment with different sorts of coffee. Currently it's the deconstructed latte! Also try the nitro brew - really smooth and flavorful.
Time Out New YorkNovember 17, 2015Project 1 is a deconstructed latte flight separating lightly pasteurized milk, espresso and a composed latte into three stemmed glasses to highlight each individual flavor. Read more- Leisl EvansSeptember 22, 2020If you are a coffee lover, then try here. Very tasty nitro coffee brew. Wooden tables were well placed.
Joury AlOctober 23, 2017I loved this place. Tiny little gem with great and friendly staff. The deconstructed latte's presentation and taste were good!
The deconstructed latte was cool, the raspberry scone was great but to the two owners who run the shop: u da real MVPs
- Devin GSeptember 4, 2016Just had the deconstructed latte and have to say if your an espresso latte snob its awesome. Great espresso and great latte!
Nola DolanOctober 20, 2016Trendy coffee place that features deconstructed lattes and nitro coffee. This place is so New York.
Dan DarouvarOctober 24, 2016People drink coffee for all types of reasons - comfort, warmth, energy, etc. At Coffee Project, you drink coffee for the experience.
Come try project #1 but come back for the friendly owners and the very unique and addictive cold brew.
- Did I mention that this is my most favorite coffee place of all time? Forget beer ... Nitro Brew for the win!
Bruna BittencourtOctober 10, 2016The name says it all! Try the latte experience. Friendly staff and delicious coffee
The deconstructed latte is a very interesting and tasty drink. People I talked to were also very into the Nitro Coffee flight.
John LeeFebruary 15, 2016WiFi password: 2shotsespresso -- be warned many tables are reserved for people *not* using laptops or tablets, though. The deconstructed latte is pretty tasty and well-priced ($7) too.
- They will do a flat white even though it isn't on the menu. Next time I'll try the deconstructed latte.
Julia Khusainova ✨July 9, 2018One of my favorite coffee spots in Manhattan. Get deconstructed drink.
- Splendid new coffee shop in the EV. I find the deconstructed Latte very intriguing.
Jason BrewFebruary 21, 2016Pricey but quite good little east village coffee shop. I enjoyed the cold brew. Very small space
- Also tried the Deconstructed Latte and Nitro Flight. Amazing concepts!
Klaas Pieter AnnemaNovember 8, 2015If you want to try something new. Go with the deconstructed latte or the coffee float.
Matt GrahamJune 24, 2016Nitrogen coffee was pretty good! Sadly no hot chocolate in the summer because it would melt, which tells me I need to try it in the fall.
Ahmed AbuzinadahDecember 30, 2015The deconstructed latte is so good ... So different and nice experince👍🏻
Zhenshuo FangFebruary 15, 2016Deconstructed latte is good but you should really try the Nitro cold brew!
Come for the clever soundtrack comprising nothing but underground singer/songwriter covers of top-100ish tracks.
