We absolutely love Hugh’s blend. We just picked up our first by this week. So glad we were able to try and truly enjoy this coffee. We cannot wait to get back to the New York area again soon. I love how the beans are sourced, and ultimately the farmers are fairly rewarded for their hard work. This is definitely better than Big box stores and Starbucks brands. Way to go Hugh Jackman!

Barista was very careful to weigh beans (took a single bean out to make sure she had proper dose before grinding) and pulled a great shot of their single origin Rwandan. Clean shot and very tasty. Pleasantly surprised to see such care put into my shot in a relatively busy cafe!

Walked in because i really needed coffee and something sweet and I really love their croissants especially the chocolate one. Super good coffee and for a pretty reasonable price considering the area, love it will definitely come again!!

We have been wanting to go here since it opened. We finally made it...quick stop! We will definitely be back when in the city!! My husband really enjoyed his simple drip black coffee! The coffee temperature and the taste was perfect per my hubby. I had the turmeric latte and that was amazing! My turmeric latte was the perfect drinking temperature...the milk froth was delicious. We also had a plain croissant and my hubby had the cheese and ham croissant. Both were delicious! The place is a pretty and simple coffee shop! Can’t wait to go back and sit down to have another latte. They have two specialty lattes which I would like to try. The staff was also very nice and friendly!! On top of that the coffee shop was started by Hugh Jackman with a purpose. Can’t wait to return!!

Absolutely love this coffee shop! Go here weekly and always have the best experience. All of the workers are so friendly, the drinks are amazing and the food is delicious! Had a particularly great experience today with one of the cooks, Michael, who made parfaits for me, my mom and my sister! They were delicious and he was so kind! :)

First timers…there’s a door for Togo (coffee only) & one for the actual dine-in shop with food + coffeeHugh Jackman’s coffee shop, must try for the experience.Cold Brew large was very large, little ice, lots of caffeine, and great bitter cold brew taste.

Great coffee. Clean and airy atmosphere. Counter servers were so friendly, above and beyond most coffee places. Nice outdoor seating too. Good place to do work or socialize.

Bigger and better. Clean lines, warm atmosphere. Noise level a little daunting with no buffers when busy. Now, to the important stuff: still great coffee, pasties and staff.

Please explain why this place is so highly rated. I tried the matcha, and two lattes (shared with friends). The matcha was absolutely terrible quality, I actually make it better at home. There was also barely any milk in it and I definitely couldn’t taste the vanilla syrup. The lattes were also mediocre. The videos of Hugh Jackman everywhere don’t help either.

Awesome coffee, better food...Ive always loved coming here – the coffee is as delicious as the atmosphere but the addition of their hot food has been their game changer. The executive chef, Louis, brings his talent, care and thoughtfulness to the table and it shows! Yum.

We went in today and Michael (one of the chefs) heard us saying Happy Birthday to someone on our phone and thought one of us was celebrating. He quickly went back and put together the BEST parfaits for us. He was so thoughtful and sweet! Things like this set them apart from anywhere else!

Great coffe, frittata was tasty but the bacon crumble was excessive and looked a bit like dog food. Still nice place though! Will go back and try other things.

Review №14

Love this place but do nothing order food if you are in a hurry. Slow chefs who focus on perfection not speed. The food is fabulous. Also the coffee beans are our favorites in TriBeCa

Review №15

Laughing Man is Hugh Jackman’s give back brand which is how I found out about it. I ordered an oat latte which was amazing both in the rich flavor of the coffee, prep, and latte art! Space is small (but expanding soon into a sit down) and I wish I knew more about the signature lattes which were kind of hidden on a different menu on the right, but all-in-all I would stop back and grab a cup again.*Also note this is a far-trade brand and eco-friendly. The designer in me loves the ridges in the cups and that it is still sturdy and less waste.

Review №16

I recommend their lavender latte to anyone in the area, but maybe think twice before you get their croissants. The lavender latte is just the right combination of floral, light sweetness, and the classic taste of coffee. I’m not sure where they get their puff pastry from, but it all tastes like those sausage breads which in a chocolate croissant pairs poorly with their oddly sweet chocolate.

Sa
Review №17

Great service. Great music and excellent product selection. I love the other offerings like overnight oats, Dirty Lemon brand water and other fun hard-to-find goodies!! I got one of their wonderful signature hats! Thank you Laughing Man, I will be back soon!!

Great coffee and friendly staff. Its a small space but the rumor is itll move into a larger area next door some time in 2020. The limited footprint is well designed and there were multiple staff working there.

Review №21

Good coffee, energetic crowds, nice corner of two streets to sip your coffee after. But do something with your croissants - whenever time of a day you come, always cold and chewy, its not so hard to have them fresh or heated up a bit. So 5 stars location, crowd and coffee, 3 stars for terrible hard cold pastries (even if you come at 6:30am), but there are other choices, 0 stars for no WiFi policy. 4 stars overall, choose wisely why you come!

Review №22

I got an iced matcha with oat milk and the drink was pretty good- nice a light with just the right amount of sweetness. I’m disappointed however that they don’t offer internet? I walked 15 minutes here to get some work done only to be told after buying my $6 tea that they didn’t have wifi. Such a bummer! Seems like a nice place to come work if I was able.

Not only are you buying delicious coffee, youre supporting the Laughing Man Foundation every time you make a purchase. I was extremely excited to be able to come to NYC and make a purchase in support of Hugh Jackmans amazing work. I highly encourage everyone to read up on the amazing things that Laughing Man is doing. Hugh Jackman is making the world a better place on the big screen and around the world.The coffee shop is very small, but theyve utilized the space very well. Youll notice that their pastries are stored tightly along the wall. Other item are fancily package and in their little coolers below. Its pretty cool. My Cold Brew and Almond Croissant were both delicious. The Cold Brew is strong, which any coffee drinker will appreciate. Smooth too. Im not sure where the pastries come from, but they were delicious and fresh.Its a grab and go type of coffee shop (express, if you want to call it that). They also have seating outside, which is great for a nice day. In cold weather, I doubt anyone wants to be sitting out there. Check out my photo. It was particularly nice on this day.Ill be making multiple visits while in NYC. Still have to check out their Lavender Latte or the Flat White. Did someone say smooth? Im there!!!

This place is pretty cool because of the owner (Hugh Jackman) and the story behind it. It’s a neat little spot right in the middle of Tribeca. I was a little let down because the coffee was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was cool to have gone there.

Great coffee! 1st visit here. Got a cappuccino and it was delicious. We love trying out all the various local coffee shops in NYC, and I would definitely come back. It’s a small space. No seating inside but has a cute little seating area outside if weather allows. Also read up about the coffee shop / Laughing Man Foundation HJ started. Great mission! Didn’t know they sold k-cups so will have to buy those as well! Makes me admire HJ even more!!!

Review №29

I got the Flat White with oat milk, and it did not disappoint! It was so smooth and strong enough without being bitter. The cups are a bit small, but Im assuming it has to do with it being a for charity coffee place. But otherwise, it was a nice experience.

Love this place so much but the head chef is AMAAAZING and beyond talented. his recipes are incredible, so much flavor and attention to detail. avocado toast is unlike any ive ever had and so unique, and the spicy bec is to die for and i dont even like eggs. also salmon ricotta toast is soooo good. this guy is legit and really takes this place to the next level

I love this coffee m, this place and this company (and Hugh Jackman). The story behind is so kind and so great. They buy from small farmers in Africa and is fair trade. They help them to get out the poverty circle. I love this cause and the place is super cozy and cute and the staff is wonderful. Always buy a bag of Dukales coffee to take home and the tiramisú turns amazing 🤓

Something special about this super tiny hipster coffee spot. Well crafted cappuccino and super affordable (2 almond croissants + almond capp for about $8). Great vibe, bright space, beans to go, parklet outside with benches for enjoying your drinks on the charming Duane St. And obviously the best name ever.

I loved this place and am so glad I took the time to stop here. As someone who looks for ways to be eco-friendly and help our planet. Hugh Jackman really knocked this one out of the park. I had a soya chai latte which was amazing and even managed to pick up some coffee as gifts for family.

This cafe is small and cute. I loved the green exterior which definitely stood out as you walked by. I had the Matcha spiced latte with their homemade marshmallow. The drink sounds weird, but the combination of flavors paired beautifully. You can skip on the marshmallow, which was way too sweet.

This place should have nothing but 5 stars - outstanding service, delicious coffee - its a solid spot to stop! Side note perk - for being so small, the design is simple and elegant - great pictures of the behind the scenes! Also, the heartbeat behind this company is what I love most. There are a lot of places with good coffee, but not many care about who is producing the beans and where its all coming from. Coffee is one of the most predatory and abusive (to farmers and workers) industries in our world and companies like Laughing Man are working to not only change that, but create a positive impact. I was so thrilled to see this in action and finally taste the product itself on my most recent trip to NY. If you want to not only grab a great cup of coffee, but support the way things should be done in business - go get your coffee here!

Im always a fan of Laughing Man Coffee and this shop is no exception. Its pretty small catering to people who want it on the go. Theres no seating inside, but there are a few benches just outside.

First time to visit the cafe. The atmosphere was cool as a cucumber and the staffs were very friendly, made me a good coffee. Had the Flat White Coffee and its very delicious, not too sweet & perfect temperature. They have also good selection of freshly baked goodies like Chocolate Almond Croissant which is perfect pair for your coffee. a little pricey, but worth the money. Ill definitely back again.

Great coffee! Got an iced mocha and the espresso is fantastic. Friendly enough baristas and the store was very neat. Neighborhood is great, but wish they had a little more seating in shaded areas. I read for a few hours to out front to kill time before a flight and if youre a fan of dogs or watching children be led by on leashes, this is the spot for you! >_

Hand down - the best coffee in this part of the world!If you want to have a well crafted coffee, around beautiful and positive people, in a top location - that’s the place.I love how they serve all kinds of coffee types (alternative milks, matcha and what not) and each cup is crazy tasty!It’s usually a busy place with a queue, but it’s always worth the wait.Best enjoyed early in the morning followed by a walk around the river.

It is a very small and busy cafe, but the staff was very helpful and kind despite that. My coffee came out fast even though it was realllly crowded. Good coffee, a bit weaker but I am used to extra strong coffee, so that my comment with a grain of salt. Prices werent too much and the profits go towards coffee farmer families, which i like.
