Come for the Irving Farm iced coffee (w/ iced coffee cubes), stay for the Fleetwood Mac on the stereo. Bring a book—it's hard to find an outlet for your comp.
I remember the first time I had a cup of Stumptown coffee. It was made with a french press, I thought I had died and gone to coffee heaven. Damn fine coffee! They will keep you coming back for more.
If you are a serious coffee connoisseur this is the place for you! At Joe coffee is treated as an art and made with love. There are several locations in the city, so stop in!
They serve specialty coffee that is made fresh to order! It's a small and cozy spot so be ready to get up close and personal with a stranger. And last but no lease, no laptops!
Great place to grab a cup of coffee and use some Wifi. And depending on when you go, you will feel like you are in Israel with all of the Israelis around you speaking Hebrew!
For those who like their coffee black, strong, and absurdly pretentious.
Order a mug of straight up Mud coffee. Brunch here is actually very tasty, but sit on the back patio if you can or you'll smell like a kitchen for the remainder of the day.
Counter Culture beans and talented baristas = damn good espresso. One of the best cappuccinos in the city.
Check out their apparel, art, surf boards, grooming products, and more while you grab a coffee and hang out on the back deck!
Order an expertly crafted espresso drink or a Clover brewed "regular" coffee at this cozy, "no laptop" policy, Chelsea hangout. Some of the best coffee in all of NYC- try it!
The most quaint coffee shop I've seen in NYC, and the owner is really great! They also have delicious salads and sandwiches!! (Also ask for the "Chocolate" a hot chocolate shot that's indescribable!)
Great coffee and sandwichs complete with a hip crowd.This is a delightful place to sit, chill, and have great nosh!
This is a unique coffee shop. Bourbon brings African coffee to New Yorkers from crop to cup. It is fair trade coffee at it's finest. Besides the coffee, a great place to sit and chat. Free wifi!
One of my favorite spots to get a cup of coffee ( and dessert). They make coffee in so many ways there, you can't go wrong. You will remember this place from the movie, You've Got Mail.
Oh yea this place has great coffee and yummy nosh. The coffee comes from the Iriving Farm 90 miles outside of New York, so it's local baby! This spot is also cozy and known for being a pick up joint.
I love the coffee at this spot, especially the mocha lattes! Always made perfect the way that I like it. They have now added a family card which gives you perks whenever you use it. Score!
This cozy coffee shop has the best of ALL worlds-- great coffee, yummy foods, and best of all...DOGS!!!!

Pinball while I drink my cortado? Sounds awesome. Might be my new go to neighborhood coffee place.
Greenpoint is spoiled for great coffee shop backyards. Budin has a pretty chill backyard, sports clean Nordic design, one of the most interesting multi-roaster menus in NYC, wifi, plugs & craft beer.
Different from their other shops, oddly-shaped nooks in soulless office buildings, this attractive corner West Village location offers dark-roasted Australian Niccolo & US-based Sightglass. (6/14) Leia mais.
Down the street from the Wythe Hotel, in the booming northwest corner of Williamsburg, the Matcha Bar offers a full slate of coffee drinks using Toby's Estate in addition to their matcha menu. (9/14)
The people behind The Elk have transformed the 2nd Wave Mojo Coffee into a bright, airy Sightglass shop with pretty unfinished wood and a good amount of seating. Wifi and plugs. (9/14)
They pull good shots of Stumptown Hairbender but iced coffee should be avoided. A huge, beautiful downstairs area, garden included, provides lots of extra space. A welcome addition to the nabe. (5/14)
These guys are serious about coffee, with Hairbender house espresso and rotating guests, and prepare it well. Nice design, friendly service, wifi, and counter style seating + a small communal table.
Run by a husband & wife team, this Astoria spot is a favorite from early til late. Make a day of it with a matcha latte, curried pumpkin seeds, quality food & craft beer flights. Counter Culture. Leia mais.
A shop with rotating coffee roasters (some of which aren't our favorite), Astoria Coffee is an attractive, quiet, high-ceilinged space, run by friendly folks, with wifi, plugs, in an underserved area.
In the running for most beautiful cafe in NYC, Astoria's 60 Beans is staffed primarily by Cafe Grumpy alums, serves George Howell coffee, has lots of seating "neighborhoods," wifi, some plugs.
Friendly, quiet neighborhood spot with attractive design, using rotating coffee roasters, currently one we're not familiar with, Deeper Roots, out of Cincinnati. Good place to read or work. (8/14)

With 15 or so two-tops, a communal table, a smattering of plugs, and strong wifi, this is a good spot to work. High ceilings, open space, exposed brick, and an ongoing roasting concern.
If you like Counter Culture Coffee, you can get a good shot and friendly service at this Lower East Side neighborhood haunt. Grab a coffee on the way to Ivan Ramen next door. (5/14)
In a part of Bed Stuy bereft of any shops, much less coffee shops, the barebones Rabbit Moon serves up well-prepared Plowshares Coffee. Curiously no espresso on the menu, only espresso drinks. (5/14)
OST's new branch is in the granddaddy of under-served neighborhoods, the far Lower East Side, and features lots of exposed brick, well-made Intelligentsia Coffee, and baked goods. (1/14)
Co-owned by Lenox Coffee & The Chipped Cup, 2 other Harlem spots, Double Dutch leans more toward the latter, both in terms of espresso quality and design touches. An instant neighborhood hit. (1/14)
A great resource for a severely underserved neighborhood, Manhattanville serves tolerably prepared Intelligentsia Coffee. It's a good place to work, read, or meet friends. (5/14)
Located on a sleepy East Village side street, City of Saints roasts their own in Greenpoint, pulling good triple shots and serving their espresso in a cappuccino cup. (6/14)
On a sleepy side street off 4th Ave, City of Saints roasts their own and is a bit lacking in the decor department, but doesn't have any competition in the immediate area.
