I love the efficiency of the baristas here and how spacious this inconspicuous coffee shop is. One of my favorite midtown spots! The coffee is great and they source their baked goods from Balthazar.
Harumi UDecember 29, 2014Cash only coffee shop with 4 coffee on the menu: coffee, iced coffee, espresso and espresso with milk (and a few pastries). If you like coffee with slight acidic flavor, this place is for you!
Elizabeth OtaolaFebruary 1, 2016I love coffee and therefore I am a hard critic. This place is one of the best I have tried in the city so far. Cheers
Sandy AlbertSeptember 1, 2015One of the best and most slick beautiful coffee shops in the city and its top secret. Simply business baby
hidden behind a nondescript black door. grab your 6oz flat white. post up on the window counter and take a five minute breather before returning to the hustle.
Bradley KayJuly 5, 2016One of the best espresso shops around, certainly top two or three in midtown. Lovely space, but few stools and no tables.
CassidyJune 26, 2015no credit cards, no wifi, no frilly drinks, no messin' around. if you're having a tough day the chocolate ganache-filled coconut macaroon cookie sandwich is 💗😍💯
Marc MayerFebruary 21, 2015Friendliest coffee shop in the neighborhood. Consistently good espresso, best place for a quick quality breakfast.
Damian BayonaAugust 3, 2016Good alternative to the midtown corporate cafe vibes. Grab n go tasty coffee, very limited seating, cash only.
Ayesha AhmadAugust 7, 2014Superb coffee and their chocolate chip cookies aren't bad either. Not a whole lot of place to sit. Cash only.
SaraNovember 9, 2014This little hole in the wall turned out have some great coffee and an amazingly elegant atmosphere.
Racky RossJune 14, 2015If you fancy a good espresso and you're in the neighborhood, that's the place to go.
Arthur DanskinOctober 4, 2018Espresso is the real deal. Cool baristas. Full of intense finance people.
Serious EatsSeptember 24, 2013Stealth outpost of this Lower East Side cafe stationed just under the Lombardy Hotel.
JP VdwallSeptember 16, 2018Super nice guys here. Good to see some places that still value customers. Thanks!
Nikki BeauchampSeptember 7, 2015CASH ONLY: most important to remember. Great teas (I don't drink coffee)
Grumpy Llama LlamaApril 9, 2015Coffee is really good! The shop is small and easy to miss, so look carefully!
Liz JacobOctober 8, 2013Gloriously empty on a weekday afternoon in midtown. Can't complain. (The coffee's not bad, either.)

"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."
