Best NYC Coffee Shoppes (post Covid)

I won't be ignored, Dan!

Do you know in what area you are going to be staying OP? That would help narrow this down.

Devocion coffee is fantastic and it's a great space for people watching. 787 coffee, Abraco, Black Coffee Co are all great too.

Try this, OP

oops sorry, didn't notice 2018

Joe's on the corner of Waverly Place and Gay Street still here.

There’s not a lot of lingering in coffee shops these days unless they’ve got outdoor seating.

That being said, my local spots are Cafe Social 68 on Avenue A and 5th Street or Sami and Susu a new Israeli/Middle Eastern cafe that also has great food

“Coffee Shoppes”

Oh, DEAR!

Why would you hang in a coffee shop unless you were hooking up with a Grindr dude that insisted on meeting before coming to your house.?

Port Authority Starbucks.

What coffee shop have you been to that doesn't have people hanging around in it r9?

Isn't everyone in a coffee shop either waiting for their hookup, or sitting there telling lies to their potential hookup?

The "oh dear!" people are bad enough as it is but I'm going to start blocking them if they're too stupid to figure out when a poster is doing something deliberately.

Oh dear me !

Stumptown (multiple locations) or Culture Espresso on 38th street near Bryant Park.

Sey Coffee in Bushwick, Black Fox in Fidi, Box Kite in UWS are probably the most famous ones in the city among the serious coffee snobs.

Of course the best beans might not be your interest if you are looking for the coolest spot to hang.

Box Kite on West 72nd Street is closed. unfortunately. But there is a Blue Bottle and a Joe Coffee around the corner on Amsterdam &73rd. Both are across the street from Verdi Park, where there is a small seating area. Blue Bottle also has outdoor seating.

On Columbus & 73rd, Black Press Coffee is popular, and also has sidewalk seating.

Dunkin' Donuts on 7th!

See yelp.com

OP here. I hope to stay at the Ludlow Hotel on the LES, but I'll be in other areas of the city exploring around too.

I recommend Ye Olde-Tyme Coffee Shoppe.

In the East Village there is Hi Collar which is a very unique Japanese style Cafe r20, also Abraco which is probably the best normal coffee shop in that area.

You gurl aka R8 - is in danger!!

Shoppes bottoms.

Stumptown is horrible watery stuff.

Neil's is a real olde style place, with the food to match. I preferred the Eastern European places in the East Village for a cheap fill-up back in the 80s - I liked breakfast in the coffee shoppes, but that is all - but I'm very sad to hear of their demise.

“ is in danger”

Oh, dear.

The vaccine to protect you in that one has not been discovered yet.

OP/R20, The Ludlow Coffee Supply

OP you'll stumble upon a ton of coffee places on the LES and downtown. I love Oslo on the UES, but that's out of your way.

If you care at all about matcha - Matchaful on Mulberry street (and Canal Street) is fun - they make really creative (albeit wildly overpriced) drinks and little snacks.

I work downtown and whenever I wander around there is always a new coffee place popping up. On the LES people seem to love Roasting Plant Coffee and Ludlow Coffee Supply.

Enjoy! I love coffee too!

I’ve enjoyed everything I ever picked up from the coffee shops near NYU.

I agree about Neil's as previous poster mentioned. Cafe Grumpy is also one that people seem to like in that area.

If you are ever uptown near the park, though, I’d recommend bluestone lane

OP, the NYC Toby's Estate changed its name to Partners Coffee a few years ago, with most of the same locations and arguably even better coffee than before.

I'm addicted to their Chiroso.
