    The line starts to the left of the new long table in the middle. No need to squeeze in between the displays and people currently standing in line.

    Awesome staff & great service. Very crowded after 6pm - weekdays. The new middle table is great for singles but now there's not enough couple's seating. An expansion would do the trick.

    Very friendly staff. Limited electric outlets. You can also bring your coffee to the park across the street

    Solid Starbucks, busy during the weekend but always a good drop in to get some work done. Most of the staff is really friendly.

    My husband loves this place but I think it's too crowded. The hot soy chai latte is a hit!

    Great place to scape home for a few. Morning and late evenings are best as it is less crowed. Calm tea is my poison

    great spot, but always crowded; probably because there isn't anything else in the area with free wifi!

    The place it's really small and since people go there to do work and spend hrs and hrs it's really hard to find a place to sit on.

    The long wooden table in the middle of the store is a pretty reliable place to find a seat if you're trying to get some work done.

    Great staff! Need a larger condiment table! Geesh, some people hog the half & half and stir coffee way too long! Lol. Polite Request: When the milk is finished please return it the counter.

    Coffee good. Few cafés in this part of Manhattan. Batista friendly & courteous at 10:45 AM. Tables flimsy & disappointing.

    I stopped going when it seemed you needed to rsvp to get a table or seat. They should expand to vacant space next door and add more tables.

    Love the location since it's near my apartment but can never get any seats. Ppl just sit there for hours just chatting, not even buying any coffee.
