Awesome coffee place. It’s a grab n go place, however there are several benches outside if you want to sit. Its a really cool place with great coffee and also $1 pastries. Tried cortado for the first time and it was really good

Latte is great. The milk is fixed well with the shots. Pastry is also good. Late afternoon also have pastry $1 deal. Good location. The store is tiny but cute. It has big windows seats. It’s nice to seat and enjoy the breeze. Friendly staff and nice decoration.

Cool place to get coffee and small selection of pastries and bagels. Coffee and everything bagel (toasted) were both hot and delicious. Limited seating inside, but several benches outside. They are fast too, good experience.

If you actually enjoy tasting coffee you need to come here. Pulls a proper espresso - a rare find.

I always get a latte here, the balance between the coffee and milk is perfect, nice and strong, but not overwhelming. I recommend this coffee place above all others and usually only buy coffee here, unless I have absolutely no choice but to cheat on them!I have tried chocolate milk and other drinks, they all taste great, but what I enjoy most here is the staff, they are all wonderful people with great personalities! I always feel welcomed here and of course do my best to keep support the business. Great job from staff and great coffee overall!

Excellent quality coffee. There are a couple seats inside at the window sill, but multiple nice benches out front (which with the nice weather and covid precautions is better anyways).

Busy in the morning - word must be out. Delicious espresso taste comes thru in my well crafted macchiato. Well done!

Quaint little coffee shop. Very little room to sit, but great if you can find a seat. Coffee is good. The staff is friendly. I was lucky to land here on a perfect weather day.

Fancy-looking place, but the espresso wasnt fantastic and the milk was slightly over-steamed. Not really memorable.

Cute small place for decent coffee. great prices too. I got a premium house drip coffee for 2.75. it was pretty good, not the best coffee i’ve ever had, but decent.unfortunately, it’s a pretty small establishment and they only have 4 chairs in the whole place. I had to wait for a couple minutes for a chair to free up.they don’t have many vegan or gluten free options for their baked goods.also, music was a little too loud for my liking. that’s just my opinion...

4 dollars for a tiny iced coffee. Only reason to ever get coffee here is if it is earlier than 10am on a Sunday. Better and cheaper coffee is all around.

Decent espresso, but the house drip coffee has quite strong acidity taste when drinking black. Very limited seating in store.

Review №18

A tiny spot with tons of character and awesome coffee.Baristas are happy to help split a double if youre looking for a single shot, the espresso blend is subtle enough to not overpower the drink, but still tasty and the milk treatment was superb.Their salted caramel doughnut is also a must have!!!

I echo some of the common complains here about the lack of manners and professionalism of staff. Anyone is better to take their business somewhere else.

Got myself Cortado and soy Chai that I wanted plain without any type of sugar. But it was already sweetened without asking and way too sweet for my palate. Be alert.. otherwise okay.

Tiny wee coffee shop but with great espresso. Also they were accommodating when I asked them for a small iced coffee and made sure to not overfill the cup. Great location with entrances on both sides of the street

Great, airy spot, with friendly staff. If you’re like me and love Stroop Waffles, then this is your spot. Pick up a package of two along with the coffee or espresso drink of your choosing to use to warm these delicious, Dutch, delicacies.Don’t forget to tip the talented baristas.

Review №31

Proper coffee, even served with a water back. Owner is super cool/friendly and staff is the same. Also, cool history about this area being the place where all the auto-repair shops were located in Manhattan.Edit: a year after posting the above review - I have to say - every time I come into either of their locations (usually go to Lafayette) - the music is good, the people are amazingly fun and warm/friendly and swift with their service - and the coffee never ever dissapoints!!!

Stumbled upon this place this afternoon. Im a first time visitor to NYC and if your anywhere near this place go and get a coffee from here. Probably the best cup of coffee (latte) Ive had in the states.... Speed, efficient and professional service. Ill be going again before I leave... ☺️

First stop in the morning after Overthrow. Add an almond croissant to the cappuccino!

Review №35

Great coffee, horrible staff!But the staff was the rudest I have ever experienced in my life. This was just after they re-opend from COVID and I walked in (apparently through the wrong door) and the barista screamed at the top of her lungs at me, as if I had just thrown hot coffee in her face.There was no sign or indicating which door I should enter or exit. The barista then refused to apologize, instead blaming me for going in the wrong door.I will never return to this coffee shop even though they have great coffee. Thankfully there are dozens of other coffee shops in the area.

My daily ice coffee with hazelnut. Staff is always friendly and fast, and payment is as quick and frictionless as Ive seen anywhere. They also give you a little card to mark count up to ten purchases, so you get the 11th for free.

Excellent flat white served piping hot (some places serve coffee with milk like warm). I also I indulged in a brownie bite which was a perfect complement to the coffee. I will definitely go back.

Review №51

One of the best coffee shops in the city! With three locations throughout the city, Gasoline Alley has quickly become a craft coffee staple in NYC. They serve intelligentsia house brew in custom porcelain mugs and offer a wide array of fresh pastries. Step inside and sit for a moment and take in the open street facing view, ideal on a nice day out. More akin to a coffee stand than a shop due to the small space, but this is a strong point and an element of undeniable charm. Few places do coffee better.

I love this place. I go often and get a dirty chai that is perfect every time. I dont even use their order 10 get 1 free cards (because they keep getting destroyed when I do laundry) and I still go all the time because its so good.Also their cheddar scones save my life every morning I forget to eat breakfast.

Mostly just coffee. I read a review about donuts. I do not remember any donuts but maybe that is new. I stopped in here for coffee with a friend. Very friendly place. No one rushed us out the door. Good to just sit and talk over coffee. Prices are reasonable.

Review №57

Great place for a quick coffee. The shop has two entrances on each side that have big glass panels. They open up the store to give the feeling of an alley. A wonderful vibe for a morning coffee run on a nice day.

Dont know about the coffee, but the $3 😩 chocolate chip cookie was delicious! It was loaded with high quality chocolate chips and just the right amount of gooey-ness. In all fairness most boutique coffee shops in NYC charge that much for a 🍪.

Stumbled upon this while walking out and about. Their latte was smooth creamy, with a taste that was simply yummy, and the atmosphere was so friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend this place!

Their espresso drinks are particularly good. Tiny but it does have a handful of window seats.

Review №61

Cute hole in wall shop offering light bites and variety of coffees. I went for the iced matcha with whole milk and a cheddar chive biscuit. Matcha is well blended but could be stronger, may ask for more powder next time! All in all, nice pit stop on walk from subway, friendly service! Will be back !

Awesome Americano. Great place to come in for a cup of coffee. Really enjoyed the flavor, something different for those that enjoy coffee. Nice people as well

Review №65

Fair coffee. I think they should ask customers if they want their coffee to go or to stay and not assume they want it to go. As a coffee shop, I would expect them to know that coffee served in a to-go disposable cup has a different taste than in a regular to stay glass or ceramic cup.

Review №66

Delicious coffee, great staff, clear & simple menu. Small space with a minimalistic design (in a good way). Theres always a 5 to 10 minute line in the morning, but you will understand why when you taste the brew. Love it!

Ive visited Gasoline Alley Coffee maybe seven or eight times over the last couple of years. Always get a cortado. Never been disappointed. Consistency, particularly when it comes to coffee, is something you need in your life.

Something special about the atmosphere here....friendly staff, breezy...loved the benches outside. Very trendy lived the racing bike hung on the wall, it definately added to the character of the place. Promise you the place didnt smell even a little bit of gasiline but instead there was a scent of freshly brewed coffee.

Relatively inexpensive for fancy coffee, especially considering the neighborhood. Love the space.. not really meant to hang out in but more so a Im in Noho/soho area and would like a cup of fancier type coffee swing through.I love entering from Lafayette and exiting on Mulberry. Feels like youre really going places.

Review №79

Certainly a top coffee place! Great coffee and baristas, good options, and some really great pastries like croissants and Dough doughnuts. Not ideal for long-term seating; only 3-4 stools but perfect for a pit stop espresso or grab and go.

Great coffee for a great price, not to mention a convenient location right in lower Manhattan! Chester took my order and he was an absolute charm, getting to know every customer who walked through the door. My barista was Phil, who makes a mean decaf Americano. Wish I could give a 6th star!

The best coffee and lattes in NYC. Super delicious and fast service ! Their limited pastry selection is also really delicious! Cute little atmosphere and mini bar . Not really a sit down place.
