I got their iced Americano and the espresso was bold and strong which I liked, especially since it balances well with some milk. The pastries looked delicious and the smell of their cookies inside their modern/eclectic vibe was a plus.

I could not forget the great taste of the coffee that I ordered here. It seemed like addictive! The couple running this shop (owners) are amazing and very friendly as well as the staff members. The coffee tasted great and the pastry is homemade. Its all worth it! This place is a must place to visit. Thank you so much for serving us nicely!

The food was tasty and the staff was very friendly. The ambiance was very cozy and comfortable. The coffee was great, that was the reason I love to spend time here every time Im bored at home. Actually, this place is our favorite spot where we could enjoy chit-chat with friends over the cup of coffee. I recommend this place and will be coming back here soon.

Just Amazing!I was told that their cold brew is something unique, when I really tasted it is stood to the expansion and even went further.The place has few seatings available, it is better to come planning to go take out. Do try their cold brew, it would help with the hot summer that New York 🗽 offers.Yah, and it is nicely priced. And the staff is just amazing and so welcoming.I would come again for sure.

A spacious coffee shop closely located to Diamond Street in NYC. It has got high ceiling this is why it looks and feels quite spacious, though there is not a myriad of tables - enough for a coffee shop, but not few for such a vast venue.It is quite noisy there because of the coffee being brewed all the time and music playing. As I like use my time reading or watching some video recordings it’s not quite convenient to stay there.Despite the aforementioned, I liked the coffee shop and the food it served. I ordered some regular black tea and a cinnamon pastry which turned out to be delicious!Therefore, I enjoyed the place and can easily recommend it if you are around and eager to sip some coffee or tea or have a bite. By the way, they serve lunch, which means they serve some more substantial than buns and coffee.

It was great to come inside and find shelter from freezing temperatures outside. We got hot chocolate and regular coffee. Since black coffee was the only thing I tried I cant say much about the other kinds. However black coffee wasnt really what I expected, but I guess wasnt terrible either. They definitely have a big choice of pastries so maybe I will stop by next time to try them too.

I found this ideal place for my needs. This place is perfect for studying as it has a very relaxing atmosphere. A great choice for intimate conversations and my choice to just unwind by myself. The waffle was so fluffy and crunchy on the side. I loved this coffee shop. Strongly recommended!

The cold brew is very good and very strong. The smaller size was plenty. The large cookies are very good too. The pastries are excellent especially the giant cookies and croissants. The ham and goat cheese croissant is as good as coffee place food can get. The line moves along fairly quickly in the morning. Highly recommended over any starb*cks location in the area.

Gréât barista. Gréât coffee. Gréât space to have convos and quick meetings. Although some guy comes in and has his zoom on high volume without a head set at the table next to ours. Welcome to NYC!!

A nice place to have coffee and a sandwich. At this coffee shop, you will see a smile on all crew faces. I always coming here to have my coffee and chill out with my friends. Also, I noticed that many people ordered the pavlova cake that looked delicious. I will surely return to this coffee shop and highly recommend it as an official stop on a visit!

Nice place for a quick coffee or a coffee to go. They are really good with the coffee and you will get served well. Worth the wait for a really good cup of coffee. Chocolate filled croissant was delicious. Great music.

If you are looking for a coffee shop and cakes, this is the place to be! It offers free wifi and also has a smoking facility inside the venue (if youre a smoker). The staff/waiters are always very helpful and bubbly. The coffee was on point, and the food was excellent. It is well priced and a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

I really enjoy this place. They have great coffee. Prices are a little high, but it is a classy place. I usually go for a more dark and cozy coffee shop but this place is bright and open with tall ceilings and I can appreciate that. They have great matcha drinks and they actually know what they are doing. Ill admit that I barely knew what matcha was, but I asked and they explained it to me fully and without judgement and now I am trying matcha instead of espresso in lots of drinks.

Great coffee and pastry, but long wait. Took almost 10 minutes for someone to grab our breakfast from the spread and put it on a plate. One of my pet peeves: starting the pour over as the last thing of doing anything, while it takes by far the longest.

The interior of the cafe was very large, quite clean, lots of seating and tables, and it was lonely when I went out in the afternoon on a weekday. If you wanted to come and get some work done here, there was plenty of natural light.

Review №37

I experienced better at Four Barrel until the quality performance declined in terms of final beverage product. At the time of this writing, I would have been a customer for 9+ years. I hit price fatigue due to two reasons: (1) Poor beverage making performance; (2) not providing your valued customers with a $40 free shipping threshold.

Really nice coffee place with its own beans and various breakfast items. I was very impressed by their coffee counter with both the milk frosting and espresso machine built into the counter to display a sense of minimalism. Besides the clean decor, the coffee was amazing and the service was friendly

Lets talk about coffee here. Not like frilly, colorful drinks but real coffee. I am a specialty coffee snob and have even written for specialty coffee websites. I roast my own beans and have been for over a year.That being said, I know what Im looking for in a cup of coffee and a coffee shop. For Five Coffee Shop offers fresh, single origin coffees for Manhattan prices. So far, Ive had their Brazil drip coffee which was surprisingly flavorful and bright. I would have perhaps roasted it a little darker to get more of the burned sugar flavors that Brazilian coffees often offer, but it was delightful.The counter is minimal and clean, with protruding group heads and milk spouts. The utilitarian, yet pleasing setup just spoke to me. I also really liked that the tables in the back had little pillows on the benches because it made it feel more comfortable and welcoming.The baristas were friendly and helpful. One gave me a nutella cookie which was also very good. Im going back again and again.Update: got a real pour over and the barista was sloppy in his technique and then didnt give the carafe. Do they only have one?! I paid $6 for a regular sized cup of coffee and he drank the rest in front of me. Very unprofessional but I may give them another chance.

Favorite chain of coffee shops in the country. They have plenty of deliciously aromatic and flavorful coffee choices. My favorite was the Filtered Soul. Praying for one to open in NYC.

Favorite coffee spot in Time Square area - even more so than Cafe Grumpy. The service and staff here are very nice, they have REALLY yummy, big, thicc cookies and make an assortment of matcha based drinks. They also have hazelnut milk I believe which gives your coffee a different taste! Come here multiple times a week 🔥

These guys are popular for their cold brew. I was too cold to taste that, so I got a double latte and it was fantastic. Not as creamy or foamy as from Manger coffee, but these guys know coffee really well. It is also very clean and bright.

Small coffee bar serving nice coffee in a modern location. Very good quality with great staff who know how to make proper espresso based drinks with latte art. Only criticisms would be limited seating and food offering (restricted mainly to pastries, cookies, muffins, etc.).

Not only did I apply for a job here but I went to grab a cup o Joe and they didnt have ONE black employee. And when I went as a customer and not an applicant, the employees and patrons there side eyed me as if there was a sign that said no coloreds allowed on the front door.

Pretty limited selection. Coffee was good, however the space isnt set up the best. Its not a very good place to just sit and enjoy your coffee or chat, the high ceilings triply amplify any noise making it really annoying to hold a conversation. Id get coffee to go.

As an aussie tourist walking to Times Square this place caught my eye. I could see the brew bar and that was enough of an invite. We were greeted by Joseph and Jose who were super friendly. If you order a latte to dine in you get to roll a dice for your latte art too. My fiance ordered the hot chocolate and it was made with melted Gotham Ganche - great in a mocha. High ceilings and relaxed ambience. A great spot.

The first time we visited here it was 20 mins before they closed, so I was somewhat understanding when the barista was rude to us. Today we came just before 5 so there were few people in the coffee shop but they were two hours from closing. And the same barista was still very rude to us. She was doing something with the register and didnt acknowledge us standing at the counter for at least five minutes. We eventually left and will never go back, even though its in our neighborhood.
