Local brews ... Everything from drip to cold brew to espresso/flat white. Try the scones and pop tarts . Drip coffee strong roast with bit of afterbite. Check out their curated Spotify play list.

Mischa

Contrary to its sister location on the east side, this small coffee shop does not serve sandwiches , but still serves a great coffee . If you trust me (and you should) a latte is all that you will need

Marie

Love this cozy little spot! The cold brew iced coffee is strong and delicious. The staff is very friendly . Limited seating but that's part of its charm.

Andrew Choi

Small shop but love the decor and the baristas. Make sure you grab a loyalty card if you plan on coming back for more!

Josiah David Chapman

A favorite place of mine to sit and write for a few hours while toting around the village , tactfully close to notorious attractions , making it a lovely coffee hiatus for tourists and locals alike.

Kevin O'Neill

You come here for the good espresso stuff. Pick your poison (cap, latte , macchiato , cortado , americano ). They know how to pull a shot.

Lauren Mac

High quality espresso , cozy vibe, and community-feel with conversation starters, questions of the day, and books to borrow. Wonderful spot in Chelsea!

Gizem Gül

Amazing taste of good quality coffee beans. Iced cappuccino goes well with natural grain bars . Cozy atmosphere . Perfect for rainy days in NYC :)

Patricia Serrano

This is the best coffee shop ever. I always get the soy latte but everything is amazing... Including the people.

Ance Kaleja

Whether you get an espresso , americano , latte or one of their special brews , it will be fantstic. Small, cosy, delicious and wonderful staff !

Simon H

Try the flat white its awesome. There's a few birch coffees in the city . This ones a bit smaller. The upper west side location does some awesome sandwiches .

Mike Singleton

Best coffee shop in the area, treat yourself to a Kyoto drip coffee out of these monsters.

Alex Kesling

Dough 's hibiscus doughnuts are always a hit, but get there early before they sell out. They also have good cold brew , on draft or slow drip Japanese style .

Elizabeth Carr

Friendly staff , great cold brew , on-point selection of doughnuts , muffins , and scones from Dough , plus Balthazar croissants and magpie hand pies

Heidi

Birch manages to maintain a small shop feel despite being a chain and located in a touristy intersection . Personable servers, carefully made drinks, fast service . Small space with limited seating .

Connor Levens

Legitimate, gourmet coffee and espresso-based beverages. The first of two planned expansion stores in Manhattan, and the best staff around.

Jess Williams

Cold brew growlers are perfect to take with you for long weekends outside the city .

Adam

Bloody great coffee . Very friendly service too. Definitely my new go to for caffeine when I'm in this neighbourhood.

Anna L

Small place. Only three high top tables, and a couple seats by the window so don't assume you can have meetings here easily unless you go in the late evening!

Chad Horner

one of Birch's tinier locations, with seating for ~10 people. as per usual, pastries from Balthazar and Dough are available

Tea For Me Please

They serve loose leaf tea ! This location is tiny so I recommend getting your cup to go. The Green Dew is quite good :) Read more

Ethan C

Small but cozy . Lines are long in the morning but good place to people watch if you can get a window counter seats . Great espresso drinks .

Annie Tolochinski

Really good coffee . They have Dough donuts and other baked goodies .

Tom H

Kyoto cold brew is tasty and very different from Stumptown 's cold brew

Dylan Stilin

The coffee is good, no doubt about that, and the window seats are a great place to sit and work/entertain yourself by looking out on 7th Ave.

D.P. Martin

Coffee was great! Had an almond croissant but it was a little on the dry and crusty side. Possibly stayed in the oven a bit too long.

Ayesha Ahmad

Really fantastic coffee . Small and hard to get a table. So don't plan an important business meeting here. You may end up standing.

nous mangeons

I love this place cos they make flat whites ! Try one of their Dough donuts or Blue Sky muffin !

Marie Porras

Best coffee in NY, amazing friendly & funny staff . My favorite morning place!

John Booth

Small hip cafe , it's a little more expensive but the coffee is very good and made with care.

Ahn Bustamante

Great place to get coffee . They also sell cold brew . Staff very friendly .

Tyler Muse

Delicious lattes and a dirty chai that is a welcome swift kick in the ass. Love the staff and decor.

Toasted almond tea is a soup of scrumdiliumptious honey roasted almonds .

Jess Kono

super cute boutique coffee place . Small menu but cute cups and decor!

Danley Hu

Read a lot of tips that they serve a good lattee . I got an iced large lattee and I didn’t like.

Saif Dia

Cold brew by the growler is good value once you get addicted to it.

Jamie Breen

Nice espresso blend. High notes of fruit .

Michael Muse

This is maybe my favorite latte anywhere. I get it large with regular milk

Daniel Barnett

Birch is the man. Comes through big time. Very crowded but usually worth the wait.

Brook Shelley

Delicious Burundi Chemex pour over

Elizabeth Burstein

Macchiatios dont have enuf milk imo. Banana walnut muffins are delish!

Ana Maria Villar

The coffee is good and the staff really nice :)

Lily

Buy their coffee beans if you also brew coffee at home. So amazing and not super expensive for a bag.

Oz Lubling

Great granola bars ! and the coffee is pretty good too.

Michelle R

Mochas are so sweet and smooth! Plus awesome staff . Hi, other Michelle!

Afi Yellow-Duke

Their iced lattes are incredible. Like seriously smooth and delicious.

Ryan Petrich

Consistently well-made cappuccinos and delicious Dough doughnuts

Nathan

Mmm the cheddar , tomato , and avocado grilled cheese . Perfect pair to a well-poured flat white .
