Arthur DanskinJuly 17, 2018Great cafe for working. Good amount of seating inside but it can fill up. Patio out back. Get a coffee and a bagel or a matcha latte and an avocado toast depending on how much you want to spend.

Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 30, 2014Co-owned by Lenox Coffee & The Chipped Cup, 2 other Harlem spots, Double Dutch leans more toward the latter, both in terms of espresso quality and design touches. An instant neighborhood hit. (1/14)
Mil4n SJune 18, 2017Nice place to work from or just read a book. Does get busy so not best option for commimg in bigger group.
- Adrian PhillipsAugust 23, 2015Cute little space with excellent espresso and really friendly staff. Grab a punch card as you'll be back. They have almond milk if you're into that (it's the normal stuff, not the weird handmade kind)
- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 29, 2014They use their space well here, so there are a good number of tables to work at, free wifi, some plugs, and fairly well prepared Counter Culture Coffee, just as at their bigger cousin, The Chipped Cup
Catherine AMarch 24, 2024I got the day’s special - blackberry latte - and was pleasantly surprised. Not too strong, just a subtle hint of blackberry. Perfect. Busy, but they got the drink out in a reasonably quick time.- From the people who brought you Lenox coffee, Double Dutch is a cute adorable place with a great vibe. Much needed addition to the neighborhood!
John Gardiner IVOctober 3, 2017As close to a proper Seattle coffee shop as I’ve yet seen on the east coast. A must-visit for anybody who even remotely likes tea or coffee.- Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideAugust 29, 2014Co-owned by Lenox Coffee & The Chipped Cup, 2 other Harlem spots, Double Dutch leans more toward the latter, both in terms of espresso quality and design touches. An instant neighborhood hit.
Cool outdoor patio garden to do laptop work or just have a beverage and socialize. Has 2 rocking chairs out there in the midst of it all, which is pretty cool.
Noah WeissNovember 28, 2015Counter culture solid espresso, free wifi, and copious seats in a cool vibe coffee shop.
Great cappuccinos and everything bagels, which are better toasted and with butter.
darnisha bishopMarch 16, 2015Chai latte is good here. Very cute cafe in Harlem, will have to come back to try a cappuccino!
Jesse BagelsJuly 8, 2015Nice coffee shop with a large selection, next door to a bar and right in the heart of the new happening Harlem.
Len B.November 18, 2015Kind of hipster, they sell Grumpy's Coffee and it's a great place to come to work with your computer.- Eveline NFebruary 19, 2015Free wifi, very nice service and good coffee! Was there on holiday but loads of people working, so great place to work/study it seems!
EvaSeptember 28, 2014Wish I could've tried their coffee or pastries, but they let people without food/bev occupy all the seats on today's visit. Why buy and stand when I wanted to stay? Across to Starbucks it is.
Friendly staff, tasty treats, wi-fi, and good coffee? Can't really go wrong. The patio is also a great plus!
Aron CohenAugust 5, 2015The little patio/outdoor area in the back is great, shame that the AC's rear unit is there (very loud). Otherwise great espresso drinks etc
Great Harlem coffee shop with a good vibe, awesome staff, free wifi, a places to sit.
You won't find a better espresso spot in Central Harlem. Skip the Starbucks across the street.
Angeline BryantJanuary 23, 2017Killer cappuccino. Also baked goods are pretty tasty, vanilla bean jelly filled donut 🍩
Iced coffee is solid; wifi and vibe is even better. Back patio is fantastic!!
Counter Culture coffee, Colson Patisserie pastries, and Doughnut Plant donuts. Patio on warm days. Tight, terrible layout inside.
a variety of seats, also with backyard seatings. the interior is cute. cafe au lait is just ok, cappuccino is quite good.
Delicious Counter Culture coffee, plus fast wifi and plenty of seating.
MyerJuly 14, 2015Great atmosphere with private outdoor patio. Cappuccino is ok but a little mild/weak.
Luca SartoriSeptember 8, 2014Location is nice as it's the vibe. But breakfast was a let down. Cappuccino was watery and without foam. Pastry was chewy. The rosemary scone was ok.
- nice working environment near harlem. however, the music choices are sometimes weird... i got cafe au lait, not bad!
Mariana PazosNovember 6, 2016Beautiful place, really friendly staff, didn't like the coffee so much...
Kristi DuarteApril 18, 2014If you order an Americano, ask for only half a cup of water, or add an extra shot. Otherwise it's very watery. I guess the same goes for a latte. The cups are too big.
