The best Arnold Palmer in the area. If you get it with black tea it's great, if you get it with green tea it's stupendous, if you get it with peppermint tea your brain will explode with joy.
NoLita might be the best place for coffee on earth, and this is the best place in NoLita. Ask about single origin espresso options or get a kalita pourover. Baristas are fantastic. Leave a tip.
Marc MayerJune 3, 2015Gimme is so consistently good. They're one of the best roasters in the state. Their single origin coffees are so delicious as espresso.
If it’s summer, order the iced oat milk dude. Clove syrup made in-house, which has a nice kick. Ask them to make it with less syrup if you don’t want it too sweet.
isawgirlOctober 9, 2014The coffee is really good. And the baristas are very engaging. But be prepared to just stand while drinking your coffee. The place is small but cozy.
My favorite coffee shop in New York. My usual is their regular old drip coffee which is fantastic, but if you have a few minutes, the pour over will blow your mind.
Hannah ParvazApril 23, 2017After being taken here by my pal came back three times in a week. They make this sapsquatch maple iced latte which stunned me - had to stop for a minute and savour the first time I tried it. Go!
The baristas here are incredibly friendly, especially the Korean guy who says hi to everyone. Gimme also has my favorite latte in the city- They just started making their own chai! Not too sweet w just the right spice. Get the dirty almond chai (chai almond mill and espresso) to wake up.
- DoubleDeuceJanuary 28, 2015Coffee on the go is all you can do here. Feel like coffee in a funnel as they usher you through quickly, in and out, move along please. It's a good cup though.
Gabe MDSeptember 18, 2018Best iced coffee I’ve had in NYC. They had separate chocolatey or floral offerings, and both were solid.- There's something romantically quaint about snagging the bench outside and watching the world pass you by.
Seline JungSeptember 23, 2016Nice cold brew and nicer baristas. Take your coffee and sit outside on the benches 😎🌟
Great mocha and good latte. They have brownies that are "stupid good." They also remade my coffee after it fell a few feet from their shop. Good guys, good coffee, good place.- I know the idea of new coffee drinks is exciting "what's the Snowden!?", "ohhh coffee soda must be good". Don't be temped, stick with the classics.
Always a winner, especially if you snag the bench outside
PercolateJune 19, 2012Great for a quick espresso or buying a bag of beans (some of the best espresso beans in the city). Make sure you grab a sticker on the way out, they're sweet.- Aleksandr PanzinOctober 14, 2017Probably one of the best coffee places. Perfect temperature for an espresso
Joy AmblerJuly 8, 2016No indoor seating, but a nice bar to stand at, and nice, shaded outdoor benches; great place for your morning cup or to pick up beans.
The cappuccino and Cortados look pretty, but taste weak and caramel flavors are too strong. Stick with the great cold brews.
Collette SMay 2, 2016Very small coffee shop that serves up delicious cold brew, lattes and other amazing espresso beverages!
Vivienne GucwaSeptember 28, 2014Get the mocha and if it is nice outside, sit back and sip the deliciousness on the bench outside. Perfection.- Literally, the best espresso and cold brew coffee in all of NYC. Come here and have your taste buds blown away.
Global HighlanderDecember 20, 2011There's no seating space at this downtown outpost of the Ithaca favorite. So, while its a to-go only operation, it is still in the upper echelon of NYC coffee.
Excellent service, almond croissants are fantastic and I really love the cold-brew teas!
My favorite coffee joint in SoHo. Great iced in the summer, great americanos for the rest of the time!
Very friendly baristas, but this place gets very busy on the weekends. Drip coffee selection changes daily and is always great!
Loretta OkoyeJanuary 16, 2017The baristas are cool and fun. The dirty chai was fantastic, and they made it with care.
New York HabitatOctober 18, 2011A great cup of joe in Soho. They have a wide range of coffee to choose from, or you can get a bag of your own to brew at home!
The coffee here puts everyone else's to shame. If I could have it on tap at home - I'd be sipping while typing this. Don't forget to grab a sticker!
They serve Dough doughnuts, which are amazing (and made in BK)! Coffee is cold brew so you might need a bit more milk if you're a softie.
Really good coffee and such friendly staff! One of my favorites in all of manhattan🙃- Andrew ContiOctober 6, 2014Good coffee. They source their own beans. They'll even fill your growler with their daily cold brew.
MetroFocusNovember 9, 2011Director of the Hip-Hop theater festival, Clyde Valentin says the baristas here brew the espressos down to an exact science. Test his theory and read more about it on MetroFocus. Read more
Chris CarellaOctober 26, 2013I just fucking love this place. That's all. I usually get a machiatto, drink it at the bar and talk with the baristas.
Ben DruckerDecember 17, 2014One of the best places in New York. No seating but there's a bench outside.
Take a break from iced coffee and order the blended latte - it's like a milkshake with a shot of expresso. Yum.
Not ideal for a social coffee meeting, but perfect if you want a damn good cortado.
PercolateMarch 17, 2012Great place for a quick espresso. Also some of the best beans in NYC. Grab a sticker on your way out, they're free.
Some of the best coffee in NYC. My go to on weekends. Try the blueberry muffins w/ crumble on top. Sooo good!- Nate BeattyMarch 9, 2016Tucked out of the way, it's not as tourist-packed or bustling as other coffee hotspots in the area
Cute little spot with quick and friendly service. Great cold brew.
Heather CallawayMay 4, 2014Absolutely great Honduran espresso, and very friendly! Will be coming back for sure.
have decided this is my favorite coffee place in Nolita. nowhere to sit and chat but good stuff nonetheless.
Be prepared to have a discussion with the baristas regarding what mythical creature you'd be (if you could be a mythical creature). Popular answers: dragon, griffin, and care bear.

"The first-ever draft latte on tap--yep, just like beer--combines milk and espresso so it’s foamy, smooth and naturally sweet. Best of all, it’s also available in a can."
