Culture 36

Unlike any shop in the area (which is very welcomed). Spacious , has bar seats and tables.They play good music (grunge when I went) and serve up flat whites (7/10 but I would come back to try others).

Running at $4 a latte , it's safe to assume it's going good. However, what's great about this place is that it's spacious (plenty of seats) and serve delectable desserts (doughnuts by dough ).

What a gem in this area! Has all the same stuff as the original Culture Espresso on 38th & 6th, but without the crowds. You NEED to get the chocolate chip cookie , only available after 10am.

Their cookies are delicious! I had to go to their other shops to look for them, the coffee is good too. (Side note: this branch is their largest)

Happy to find this gem of a coffee shop hidden on 36th in the middle of tourist-central. Great coffee , tunes , & minimalist design, just how I love it.

The wifi , long tables, and chocolate chip cookies are aces, but you might want to have a backup plan for bathrooms as this spot has none. Read more

High quality coffee and delicious baked goods . The strawberry banana muffin and chocolate chip cookie are worth the splurge!

Nice cafe stumbled upon it a few weeks ago. Serving Heart coffee from Portland and donuts from Dough in Brooklyn. At glance looks more like a show room space than coffee shop . Had to walk by twice

Chocolate chip cookie is indeed awesome! Should have asked for a glass of milk with it ????

Small coffee shop that serves heart roasters from Portland, OR. The baristas do a really great job at extracting the espresso , so their milk drinks are made well .

Right now this is the best espresso in mid town . Go to this one instead of the location in 39th. More room and less crowded

Bigger and more spacious location of culture espresso . Heart coffee beans from Portland, awesome pastries , and good tunes .

Now serving donuts from Underwent donuts . Try the brown butter donut . Chocolate Chip cookie is one of the best in the city .

Coffee is so good, it is perfectly ok to come in by yourself, get your beverage, sit down, and enjoy it with your thoughts for company.

Awesome coffee and yummy pastries . An oasis in this neighborhood , which has no good independent coffee places . Decent amount of seating.

Better than the 38th street location. Butttt Flat white was good for the first three sips then it was just hot milk and coffee .

Good space with multiple seats to get your flat white fix. Bonus points for donuts from Dough .

It's perfect! Good coffee , nice croissants . Good option to go if you have no breakfast in your hotel . This is way better to go to.

Spacious and quiet ambience is a bonus. Iced latte is awesome here.

Great shot of espresso . I hear the cookies are good, but haven't tried one just yet.

First stop on a NYC coffee crawl. Psyched to find a Heart account, plus the chocolate chip cookie was bangin'.

Awesome latte and great service. Free WiFi and spacious space - great for working.

Great coffee , delicious chocolate chip cookies and a tasty ham and cheese croissant ????

Good coffee , great cookies , cool staff . A rare and precious Garment District gem.

Just like in the original Culture , drip coffee is always good but I also loved their chai !!

Best americano I’ve had in nyc. Thanks for making a Seattle girl at home. ❤️☕️

Best chocolate chip cookie I've had in New york

Every day they have fresh doughnuts from Dough bakery . Also they have almond and soy milk .

Small but good sitting areas. Great hot chocolate . No bathroom though. Wifi available.

Eat the **amazing** chocolate chip cookies . Skip the exceedingly average Heart stereo blend coffee ????

The coffee and espresso drinks are solid, but chocolate chip cookies are a must-try.

A more spacious version of their other shop. Good place for work meetings!

The chocolate cookies are delicious!

Great coffee and sweets -- the upscale poptart was surprisingly phenomenal

Nice, smooth tasty cold brew and a beautiful space.

This spot is definitely geared towards people who work in the neighborhood . Let the tourists go to Starbucks

Coffee latte is awesome here

Generally less busy than the Culture on 38th bw 5th and 6th, and more spacious .

Quality mocha , wifi , but limited seating

Awesome cookies ! Fresh of the oven.

The best flat white in NY ????

Great place to grab coffee before your bus at Penn ????????

They play old foreign music on LP records, and I can't believe how catchy and good it is.

Best coffee I’ve had for ages. Cool atmosphere too.

flat white . chocolate chip cookies !

Quite good for american coffee , but the flat white was watered down and unfortunately did not taste the best. Sweet little place though!

great selection of pastries . great coffee .

Some of the best chocolate chip cookies in midtown.

The best peanut butter gluten free cookies

I always say, the more piercings and tattoos on my baristas, the better
