Best 206 hometown brew on the eastern seaboard. True PNW coffee comes to New York. Definitely worth popping in for a cup if you're even remotely nearby.

Honghui Yu

Small cafe on the Lower East Side - only three seats by the window. Not the kind of place where you can sit and sip your coffee for hours, but great for picking up a latte on the go.

Adam Redstone

The only NYC location of this Seattle-based jewel. I love the Theo blend and also their decaf roast for home cold-brew. If you buy a bag of coffee you get a free drink-what's not to love about that?

Josiah David Chapman

A Seattle based roasting company offering one of the best house brews in the city in addition to a no nonsense espresso . Not enough room for lots of seating but still worth a visit. 5/5

Alexandros Plexidas

Tried a few coffee shops in lower Manhattan during my trip and this was probably the best. Only serves coffee to go. Small place and you could find a queue at any time of the day.

Lauren

Best coffee below Houston. Relaxed vibe , not too hip , friendly baristas , great drip & espresso drinks . Favorite.

Roberto Juárez-Garza

Best espresso in Manhattan (adding an extra shot won't harm anyone).

A Swiss

Almond cap baby!!! Banana bread also super moist and scrumptious ????⭐️

Kevin Skobac

Hole-in-the-wall outpost of a Seattle favorite. Delicious mocha 's.

Jack Clausen

Hands down my favorite spot to grab coffee in the city - no where to sit really but perfect brew to go. Great vibe and great flavor

Andy Sternberg

Delicious, in-house roasted brew sourced from fair trade farmers.

The kings of the dark roast , this Seattle transplant roasts their own on the Lower East Side's Ludlow St. It's dark in there in more ways than one. They supply coffee to some other cafes on this list Read more

Zoltan Balazs

Smooth and creamy espresso , one of the best I've ever had. And it's fun to watch the coffee being roasted just next to you.

Tony Alfaro

Best coffee on the planet. Cool and friendly staff . And always with some Joy Division, Sex Pistols, Guns n Roses , or other fine music going down. Great little place.

Patrick Baskin

small shop, but delicious cold brew (and I've tasted a lot of cold brews throughout the city )

T

The best coffee for me so far in Lower east side. Barista really knows what he's talking about.

Premshree Pillai

Seattle coffee comes to NYC! In typical New York style, though, the café is small, has only standing room, but still manages to have a small roaster and a restroom .

Try the pancor, which is a cool little cross between a macchiato and a cortado .

cs

Iced coffee is balanced and holds up beautifully on its own. Bet it is also good with milk .

Jeans

Incredibly inviting despite the small space. Sip your pacnor by the window or the bench outside .

EatMeDrinkMeNYC

Joining the fray is Vita coffee . A bit late to the game but offering a solid cup none the less.

Ben K.

Not a place to sit and hang but grab an iced to go. The first thing you see when you order is the beans roasting. Quality.

Sometimes it's hard to find a good cup of coffee in NYC. This place does it right.
