I had the New Orleans style iced coffee . The flavor is very different than any typical iced coffee . A bit on the sweeter side which I typically avoid but I needed this pick-me-up and it hit the spot!

5star cold brew at a 5star place. Always super friendly baristas and arguably some of the best cold brew in city . So strong and over-the-top rich, it's truly a treat every time!

Serious Eats

A New York branch of the famed San Francisco coffee roaster . In addition to the typical coffee options , try the New Orleans-style iced coffee made with chicory .

David Wilder

Great service in this small shop tucked away under Rockefeller Center. We talked the barista's ear off about what makes them special for 10mins before finally ordering the New Orleans iced coffee .

Sonny Datoy

you know that moment when the barista's face lights up when you start talking to them about beans and brewing methods? every blue bottle is like that -- this one is no exception.

Hannah Han

Expect to be lost, this place is tucked in the corner but def worth the search. New orleans cold brew was the perfect afternoon coffee I just needed! Can't wait to try other diff brews on the menu-

Stefani

Everything looks amazing. No seats available.Under Rockefeller so no seats during lunch time.Purchased the Three Africans which is just regular coffee but a great taste.

Jesse Atkinson

Best coffee in this saturated area. Hard to find but worth hunting down to get better-than-Starbucks coffee . This was an oasis for this SF-er.

Srinivas Vasudevan

Went there to try their mocha , they had run out of chocolate . Tried their capuchino instead, it tasted really good. There is always a line at this place i guess. Will try their mocha next time.

Bon

You'll have enough coffee connoisseurs to advise so let's focus on snacks : the ginger molasses cookie is the way to go! Chewy and super gingery like an Indonesian ginger chew.????

Faris Ibraheem

Tucked somewhere in the Rockefeller's basement . Not a sit-in location, but hey you're in Midtown anyway. Coffee is really good though.

Caroline Le

Five words: Best coffee in the world! ...four more words: get the New Orleans. You can't go wrong with any Blue Bottle option though!

Josh Simmons

I will go 2 extra subway stops to get their New Orleans iced coffee . Their maple pecan bars are a new favorite now. Favorite coffee in the city .

TALAL ALSAIF

I have visited around 7 specialty coffee shops. This one is the best. We had delicious coffee made by Lizaveta ????????

Timelessnomad

Packed with business peeps during the 2pm slump. Tourists go to the nearby Starbucks but locals know this place is the best around. Pour over heaven and the iced New Orleans is pure heaven.

Paul Brenner

Great freshly roasted bean selection but extremely busy. Great if you already know what you like, but not a great introduction to blue bottle if you don't really know what you like.

Adrienne S

Best thing to happen to midtown coffee ever. Finally an alternative to the ubiquitous sbux!! And OMG the new Orleans iced coffee just changed my life. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Chicory-iced-coffee weather: Hot on the heels of opening the new Chelsea location, this San Francisco-based coffee roaster has also opened a concourse-level Rockefeller Center branch. Read more

Haneen ????

My favorite daily coffee fix. Always go for the single origin pour over . And let’s not forget the amazingly made to order waffles !! ????????????

Nikolay Bachiyski

Both the coffee and the long line are super consistent. Worth the wait if you have few extra minutes.

Corley Stone

Delicious, premium coffee in a quaint location. Their cold brew is unreal, especially the New Orleans. Afternoon lines can be semi-annoying

Zayed Khan

Probably less of a line on weekends, than any other blue bottle location in nyc, by virtue of being tucked away in an underground mall/cafe area.

Craig Henry

Please don't come in here looking for Starbucks flavors. This is real coffee . Get the New Orleans iced.

Kevin Dudley

Located in the basement of the building. The mocha is amazing, but be aware that it is nowhere near as sweet as its competitors (which is why it is so good!)

Youssof Mal

Seriously one of the most consistent cups of coffee . Try a Giant Steps or a Three Africas pour over , or order a Trafalgar from the secret menu

PR MR

Get the featured roast with your espresso drink . Always something new to discover!

Joachim Keim

Great Coffee . The brew is'nt made by chance.

Cialina Temena-Husemann

Great spot for a cappuccino in the middle of the work day if you can find it. Have a Mast Brothers Double Chocolate Cookie with it.

Katerina Anna

Excellent quality every single time! At any time & at any location. I love Blue Bottle

Tom Maxwell

Extremely satisfying to take a break for a delicious latte and killer cherry oat pastry .

karen

Best Coffee in midtown by far; a bit hidden but worth seeking out. Grab a snickerdoodle with your order and don't forget to tip your barista!

Andrew Hogue

Walk into Rockefeller Center by the ice rink. Turn left, go down the stairs. Turn right and keep walking. Blue bottle will be on the left. You're welcome.

Mohamed Alhmoudi

They have really amazing flat white I would drink even 3 littler per day ????

Evan Chen

I really enjoyed my New Orleans Iced Coffee . Highly recommended!

Kimmie Ohh

Order a latte with their lovely latte art . Pick up a mast brothers chocolate chip cookie .

Wandering Bailey

Almond milk caffe latte well worth the wait. A good choice amongst the various other coffee dealers in the area.

Abdulelah

Fantastic specialty cafe , also I recommend Ginger cookie

ILYA SPEC

A petite round maple cookie with nuts is delish. And of course coffee from BB is always great.

Scott Kleinberg

Usually very good coffee here but because this location is so busy it's easy to get the wrong order.

Matt Branigan

Ceramic cups are Italian made ... Equipment Japanese or Italian. Blue Bottle stays true to their roots. Favorite coffee in the area

Eric F.

This joint is hard to find: go into 1 Rockerfeller (enter off 49th or 48th) and go down into the basement where you'll find it. It's worth the search

Matthew Huie

This location is tucked away on the concourse level. It's directly south of the ice rink, right under W 49th St.

ZenFoodster

Try the refreshing Cascara Fizz w/ cascara syrup , soda & lemon !

Sylvain Lienne

It's definitely the best coffee in town for me. It's always good ! And I like the people there.

Ghadi Tayeb

Love their sign ????❤️. And the cappuccino was so good

Daniel F

Quality coffee beans. Wonderful cookies . Great service.

Michael Dylan Ferrara

In the basement of the building. Always a long line , but it moves fast.

Harumi U

Everyone has different preference for coffee but a lot of people seem to like Blue Bottle . Since the place is small, line often goes outside the shop but it is shorter than it looks

Alex Ravenel

Good espresso in 30 Rock. Can take a bit, not the best if you in a rush. 10% discount if you work in the building.

Joycott

Blue Bottle Coffee has some of the best we've ever had, and we've had a LOT of great coffee !
