Birch Coffee

The cortados at Birch are the best in the city , never bitter or sour. If you've never had a cortado , this is a great place to try one!

Easily the best coffee spot in the area. Cute little shop, try and snag a seat at the window for some classic Upper East Side and Lexington people watching .

Umm, don't come here for the "library " mentioned in description -- 10 used books on a shelf with titles like "The Reliable Wife." Come, instead, for delic coffee -- I recommend the cappuccino !

Birch Coffee opens in the Upper East Side. Offering coffee , pastries , juices , a book lending library , & conversation cards. Read more

Great lattes and iced coffee . Very quaint, peaceful and tiny (6 seats total!) No wi-fi...which makes this place a serious coffee shop :) So excited to finally have a gourmet coffee shop in the hood!

Best coffee in the area that i've tried so far! And the staff is very kind and helpful :)

Coffee and pastries are delicious! The staff is incredibly friendly . The vibe and atmosphere here is adorable. The decor is a mix of art and library . It's surprisingly roomy for a small cafe .

The UES branch is cozy and hip , more akin to a coffee stand than a full blown shop. But this is its strength, and the coffee and service are rightfully the primary focal points at this location. 5/5

An all time favorite- the oat milk in their cold brew is delicious! Also their iced almond tea is such a unique flavor and is so refreshing!

These guys made our mornings in New York really great! Cortado , Americano with cold milk and a Dolce di Leche donut ... Will miss it!

The latte is so good, so creamy. The space is very adorable and unique but small. It's a bit on the pricey side.

Everything great here from friendly knowledgeable service tithe great atmosphere and the wonderful coffee !! My new favorite neighborhood coffee house !!

Love their cold brew + ice coffee + cortado ????

I think this place is unbelievable cozy , the music , the light: they combined together and make the atmosphere so relax. However, I have to highly suggest they clean the restroom and the tables.

Shop is super tiny, so you're usually waiting outside when it's busy. The chai here is top notch. I usually opt for hemp milk since they don't serve almond !

Decent espresso (4/5 in my subjective scale - good texture and pleasant sourness but lacking in taste depth, not bitter though) and delicious iced chai latte (we took one with whole milk ).

Great little small coffee shop , easily the best in the area. Excellent cold brew on tap, friendly staff . On nice days sit at the window bench !

Good coffee but has a distinct taste to it that might not be for everyone. Hints of tree in it

Iced coffee is on draught all summer. Fantastic espresso drinks . Good filter brew. Balthazar pastries . Limited lovely seating. Friendly staff .

Seriously the best cold brew on tap I've ever had. Nice decor. Friendly and knowledgeable barista . I wish there was one closer to me!

Cold brew is great or try the Kyoto with ice for an even smoother taste with the same caffeine.

Small spot, great coffee as usual. The latte is the way to go.

Cute little place and my go to coffee shop in my neighborhood ???? also the people are very nice and friendly ☕️

One of the best coffee shops in the city ! Borrow a book from their library , grab a coffee , and try to snag a seat.

Nice and cosy for winter. Coffee roasted to the classical palate so a little darker. But certainly better than most chains

The donuts are not only gigantic but also delicious. Perfect with my latte before nerve wrecking professional engagements. (SUGAR DUMP !)

Best coffee spot for cold brews and lattes ! They have Oat Milk - no almond milk (just FYI).

You should try the cold brew with oat milk ! It is a must. ????

Dough and black coffee ???? Try the iced with a splash of hemp too ????????

A cappuccino of Quality ????????

You get 50¢ off your coffee if you bring an appropriate reusable cup. Love their lattes and scones .

One of my absolute favorite cold brews in NYC, especially when you add their oat milk !

Awesome cold brew + dough doughnuts ! Tucked away in the UES, great spot.

Limited seating , trendy facial hair, fancy lattes . And the best coffee in the neighborhood .

Great coffee , cute place, cozy environment and nice music . ????????

Always busy but great hemp cappuccinos $4.25. Only 3 stools.

Cold brew on draught is excellent here!

The coffee and lattes are great and the spot is very nice.

Best chai I’ve ever had. Very cozy (and claustrophobic) space.

Very nice and friendly people, very cozy and great coffee as expected!

Small and cozy . A couple seats by the window.

Exceptional coffee , expertly sourced and freshly roasted

Love the staff here. Great coffee and they have a punch card!

Adorable little place! It's good if you want to get away from the generic Starbucks experience.

Try the birch spiced latte and show your student/faculty ID for a discount

Great coffee , get the cortado if you want a quick caffeine hit!

Best iced coffee in my opinion. Always on tap-

Their line is shorter, staff is friendlier, and the espresso is infinitely better than Starbucks.

Four seats, no WiFi , but very very tasty pour over if you have the time.

Half-priced donuts / scones after 4pm. Hemp milk is great in the chai .
