Nick GorczynskiAugust 7, 2013Very friendly, coffee-passionate baristas. Care and attention go into preparing drinks. Walk a few extra blocks to go here before you give in to Starbucks, it's worthwhile.
J LAugust 8, 2014Terrific coffee shop with well made expresso drinks. The sandwiches are good as well. Especially in Midtown.
Diana StefanSeptember 23, 2018Amazing breakfasts, anything from their menu is delicious. We went there 3 days on a row
Gabriel EvansApril 11, 2016The pick me up is delicious and quick. A bit spicy so be careful if you don't handle spice well.
Farrah AlSebaiheenAugust 11, 2017Perfect coffee, don't miss Sweet Uncle Fred! Banana bread ricotta fruits and honey 👌🏽
MarkAugust 7, 2014Love seeing people pour coffee as a craft. Also like the elimination of choice, as they don't have multiple sizes.
Nelson V. GuevaraApril 1, 2018Avocado 🥑 toast with poached egg and pepperoncino.... mouthwatering. Great cafe mocha as well
Chris KonecnyApril 9, 2015I agree with all the Smash comments. Simple, delicious, healthy start to day. Accompany that with an expertly prepared piccolo latte- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The cold brew is the best cold brew coffee in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition."

Andrew VogelApril 21, 2015Perfect flat whites. Bircher muesli and the big dill breakfast sandwich were both great too
Jessica HanAugust 18, 2017Avocado Toast & Sweet Uncle Fred are my favorites! Would recommend getting here early to get a seat.
Antigoni KApril 8, 2017Excellent brunch dishes and good coffee!!! Quite small though so difficult to find a place!- Lovely small coffee shop with delicious coffee. Try the olive oil bread- it will change your world.
- Kim SolvesonFebruary 26, 2016I love coming to the Midtown east coffee shop. They serve the best coffee in a perfect manner.
Rhana KatzJuly 22, 2013Smashed avocado, feta, roasted pepitos, and chili flakes on thick whole grain. Perfecto!!

Anna BoffettaOctober 19, 2018Great coffee and food, had the muze (their oatmeal bowl) and it was incredible.
One of the best coffee shops in NYC. Full on third wave coffee shop!
Chris ChenMarch 26, 2015Excellent piccolo latte and olive oil cake. Didn't know this gem existed in midtown
Teresa WNovember 29, 2014kind of obsessed. avocado smash + flat white: is there any other way to start your day? only downside is it gets so packed!- Chris KonecnyFebruary 12, 2015These folks know coffee. They are also nice about it if you aren't as knowledgeable. Good pour over options.
Seth BorusDecember 9, 2015Amazing coffee and food! Super friendly and efficient. High quality all the way around.
Carol LeeNovember 15, 2015Great food. It's too crowded and overwhelming. Can't tell where the line starts, people waiting everywhere. Not an ideal cafe layout.
Mike FriedlichAugust 9, 2016Chicken Schnitzel w/mashed peas, caramelized onions, bacon, & chipotle mayo is great! Really good sandwich bread.
Get a flat white and a Sweet Uncle Fred and you won't be disappointed.
Cat JMay 1, 2014Great drinks with a side bonus of delicious food. Space is tiny, tho, so be prepared to duke out a spot.
JavierDecember 31, 2016Get a smash with fried egg for extra protein breakfast. Flat white is perfect!
Nic BarajasDecember 23, 2013Sharp joint in Midtown East. Get a piccolo latte (cortado), and eat the cookie they put on the plate.
VéApril 25, 2018always crowded and atmospheric place. and this is great! good coffee and nice staff.
Just got in from australia about a week ago and this is an exact replica of what you'd see in Sydney or Melbourne.
- Kenneth TaffetAugust 8, 2018The most amazing avocado toast I ever had & the most amazing coffee..so yummm.
Amy LukesDecember 30, 2014Amazing coffee & best cappuccino I've ever had. Interesting breakfast items, too.
Anthony De RosaSeptember 27, 2014Add an over easy egg to the Smash. Authentic Aussie coffee shop in a Midtown wasteland.
MOctober 29, 2018Good coffee, fast service. But its so hard to find a place to sit (if you come with someone).

"Love that I can walk in and both feel at home & inspired all in one deeply drawn breath. The lacquered black decor, the crisp white lines, the mix of contemporary and classic. It's all right here!"

"Impressive collection, beautiful sculpture garden. All that you can hope for in a museum. The 5th floor cafe is pricey, but the food is very good and the view on the balcony is worth the price."
