I loved how quiet this area was. There is seating outside and a good amount of seating inside. There are a lot of options for food and drink. I was drawn to the lavender lemonade. I got the goat cheese sandwich. It is cash or venmo only. The staff are pretty chill and nice.

The food is always delicious and the staff is actually nice. Real ingredients, and everything comes together perfectly. One of my favorite low key spots for a delicious and healthy weekend breakfast. I love the egg wrap, eggs are so fluffy. Definitely get it with hot sauce : )Also love their chai lattes on a chilly day!

Great vibe little local coffee but be sure you have cash on you as this is a cash or Venmo only establishment. I swing by in the morning cus I was just so happened in the neighborhood. This is definitely a local neighborhood coffee shop, a bit slow pace, a bit pricy but a norm in this area. Indoor and outdoor seating, tones of people working here in the morning on a regular week day. Ok latte and decent pastries but nothing particularly stand up.

I absolutely love this cafe! The staff is super friendly & I love that they are bilingual. They don’t accept card which sucked for me cuss I never carry cash on me but at least they do Venmo. There latte was amazing!! They have so many food & drink options which is a plus for me. I appreciate the amazing vibes here meaning they have great music, the atmosphere is super chill & they have comfortable chairs and couches. Perfect place to study, lounge with friends & grab some grub!

Everything there is two levels up than what you’re used to. The tahini cookies are out of this world and melt in your mouth. The sandwiches are so fresh and thoughtfully crafted. I come here whenever I’m around.The ambiance is great and you can sit indoor or outdoor on this quite area of alphabet city. Come check it out !

The staff who took my order is rude. We came in on a rainy day and ordered two coffee. We brought in bagels and the staff told us in a rude way that we cant bring our own food since the sanitation department would fine them (after they made our coffee). They sell bagels here too, how come would that sanitation department fine them because of our bagels? Bad experience. Wont recommend to anybody.

I walked out! Insanely ridiculous price for a cup of coffee $4.90 and of course the owner isn’t there.

Review №15

Maybe my overall favorite East Village cafe! Good coffee and nice cafe to sit for a conversation or do some work. Good price for a large latte. I did not see any (?) outlets last time I was here to work, so keep that in mind, although there is free wi-fi.

Friendly neighborhood cafe. Very inviting interior, nice and cozy. Only came in for a coffee so cant speak to the food, though the menu looked good. Coffee was excellent, on par with cafebene just up the street.

I finally found the best shop for coffee. The money is very well worth the coffee and food here. In this coffee shop, you cant go wrong. All is perfect and awe-inspiring about this place. All the teams are great and welcoming. This one is well worth a visit.

Truly the strongest one! This coffee shop is always at the top when it comes to delivering service and coffee. All here in this place was just wonderful, and the atmosphere was very calming. I couldnt ask for more because I was very pleased with the taste of the coffee and the excellent service they offered. Well, guys, well done! Thank you very much!

The best cafe I have been to in NYC. Its small but very homey. Their drinks are always made perfectly, they follow all special requests, and theyre very quick. The workers are always very friendly and appreciative for your patronage. Im also blown away by their food every time. The grilled chicken sandwich is to die for! This is one small business everyone needs to get behind. I love you B CUP!!

We enjoyed Clary’s so much that we made it our breakfast stop 2 out of the 3 mornings that we were in town. Everyone in our party of four loved their food. My husband loves the Georgian sandwich with the eggs scrambled. The service was excellent both days. We got there around 8-8:30 both days and were seated immediately. We look forward to our return to Clary’s.

This coffee shop is my favorite spot to hang out. I really like this shop because it has a nice atmosphere. The coffee and the pastries they had were all delicious and affordable. Its not too heavy, I like their espresso. My taste is the bittersweet taste of it. The workers were so welcoming and accommodating. This is a must-visit store.

Its a Greenwich village experience. Multicultural, hip, friendly, intellectual, edgy, Artistic, and even quite pretty. With the mix of incomes and class indicative of the Eastern part of the Village. Very American.

By chance, I found this awesome coffee shop. All my request was made by their excellent workers called Leo. He was really sweet, supportive and helpful. Nice interior from the outside to the inside of the store. I was not at all mistaken to visit this location. Well, thank you very much to all of you!

This is one of the unique and well-known coffee shops in my area. The place is very quiet, huge, and comfy to be at. This coffee shop will make your visit more memorable. The cookies are rich which are good for pairs with their coffee or tea. The staff is pleasant, accommodating, and knows exactly what theyre doing. Highly recommended!

This coffee shop serves the best coffee, and the desserts are to die for! I love the aromas, and the food was great. It doesn’t matter whether you have breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and you will enjoy it! The servings are enormous, and everything is always very fresh. The venue has a cool vibe with college kids working in study groups and tourists stopping in for a bite.

This is a very nice place to spend an hour on a coffee break. They have the kinds of coffees that would really satisfy your taste. The crew was really smiley, welcoming, and clearly very proud of the quality of their coffees and service. The place does get crowded as it’s fairly small, but it’s definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

The B Cup Cafe New York City house we stayed in was just a couple of blocks from Clarys Cafe. We enjoyed breakfast twice at the cafe. The portions are large, the staff is friendly, and they are doing their best to social distance.

B Cup Cafe is a great spot to relax / get some work done. I ordered the tomato bisque and sat at the high top counters - lovely bisque and hot French baguette! Would go back just for that. Unfortunately it is cash only which means I likely won’t go back seeing as it’s 2018.

This is maybe my first 1-star review. Ive been this place many times to use the printer and also getting coffees because I liked them. Until today, there was always this friendly guy that I was chatting, but today some other long-haired guy told me that I cant work there in a rude way. And I wasnt working, just preparing my docs to print them out and waiting for my coffee to be prepared by him. Such a huge disappointment! Im sorry, but I would replace that guy if he doesnt own the place.

Great little cafe here in the East Village! Decent amount of seating, both for working and eating, some lounge chairs too. Food is always very good and drinks are some of the best around -- especially with Starbucks moving in on every corner this place has sustained business!Cash only though! (they have an ATM)

I enjoyed coming to the B Cup Cafe. the food and coffee are excellent. The best part was the graffiti of which reminded me of the “good ol’ days” of the sixties and seventies. It has a hippie feeling to the environment. I even brought a few friends there and they too enjoyed that place. I recommend this to anyone who like this kind of place.

Little coffee with a really nice neighborhood feel. The salads and the pastry are good. I really recommend the Hummus plate. And for the pastry, the banana bread is superbe. Good ice beverages. Also, they will give plates and glasses, no plastic, which is a plus. Come to this place to hang out.

Walked into this little gem to grab a bite and quickly realized this artsy cafe will be a go to spot for me. It’s a cozy atmosphere, they have couches for groups and single tables as well. The cafe even has designated “no tablets and lap top” areas but If you want to come and do some work or reading they have you covered. I tried one of their sandwiches on the rosemary ciabatta bread which I highly recommend. Friendly staff and cute presentation. Bring cash though they don’t take credit or debit

Any sandwich can be made into a wrap and so far the avocado one is my favorite. The wraps come with salads too which is great. Its a nice healthy food option for the neighborhood. The food is better than the coffee. Also, the staff doesnt always speak English so well.

It was cozy, and the coffee was really good. Cash only, but they had an ATM inside that you could take out in 10s and 20s. They also have wall outlets, which is hard to find near NYC. I was not a big fan of the seating, though, but I managed fine.

Review №89

B cup its a really cute coffee shop. The atmosphere is amiable and the crowd is a mix of young adults. I ordered the cappuccino b cup which is the big one. Also, I order the Brie cheese sandwich (which I should because I cant digest lactose) but it was well worth it. I was impressed with the sandwich. Very tasty and fresh. Really good. They have a variety of pastries and gluten free options. They dont take cards Only Cash but they do have an ATM machine on premises. I agree with another reviewer this is not the place to study so if you want to study go somewhere else. Unless you can study with some noise and it doesnt bother you like myself. Oh and I didnt get the wifi password or a receipt which I didnt like, other than that I like it.

There’s no shortage of cafes in the East Village, but finding one that feels cozy and welcoming with a consistent, reliable internet connection and power outlets isn’t a given. I’ve tried several cafes around the East Village/Alphabet City and I’ve ended up at B Cup the most. B Cup Cafe has become my coffee shop of choice and not only because it was a few steps away from my apartment at the corner of Avenue B and 13th street. B Cup is a neighborhood cafe that isnt pretentious. They serve pretty good espresso drinks without a hint of coffee snobbery (their iced/frozen coffee come in carafes!). Their couches are old, but not purposely vintage nor do they make an attempt to match the decor. There’s a wooden desk that looks as if it could fall apart at any minute. B Cup isn’t perfect and that’s part of what is appealing to me.

First off, finding a cafe thats open and was in my new neighborhood is a joy. I had a very huge surprise when I ordered my tea and they were ready with nut milk on the counter...what I dont get charged extra for almond milk? Huge plus! Also my ordering kinda like Sally from When Harry Meets Sally is replacement oriented. I got an amazing Turkey and Goat Cheese Panini on Cibatta bread. Another ☺ smile for that and the staff are all really sweet. Take a break and stop by the B Cup their WiFi is as awesome as the coffee and sweet almond croissants.

Awesome local coffee shop that hasnt succumbed to the pressure of the corporate machine. They offer delicious coffees and teas as well as fresh pastries and sandwiches. Everything is a bit on the higher-priced end of the spectrum, but youre getting quality for what youre paying. The staff is always great and their products are always delicious.

Mint lemonade, mmmM!Walked in for a cup of mint lemonade. It was scorching hot outside and I needed something cold and refreshing, quick. This place definitely did the job. I came in around noon on a Friday and it was pretty packed with customers eating lunch, some with salads and others with cups of cappuccinos. Their salads caught my eye and I think Ill check them out again next time Im around the area.
