A rare find. Their lattes are consistently perfect and I think they bake their own pastries . The croissants are the best I've found in this city , always super fresh and buttery. Delicious!!

Joseph Akbrud

While Rex is technically a "Coffee Shop " it is also one of the few shops in the city (and certainly in the area) where you can get a good cup of loose leaf tea . They source their teas from Rishi.

The only modern coffee shop for blocks, Rex is a godsend to Hells Kitchen, serving up Counter Culture coffee , pressed sandwiches , and housemade baked goods to nearby workers and far west side denizens Read more

Delicious egg sandwiches and coffee . Great spot to grab breakfast . Small interior, but close to the Hudson so if you can’t find a seat take your order to go and sit by the river !

Meg Robertson

I work nearby and this place is a beautiful coffee oasis in a sea of midtown delis . Great sandwiches , nice people, and two tables to sit at if you want to hang around.

Emma Bemma

Best mochas . Must try the egg sandwich on a brioche bun with cheese , chorizo , avocados , and some incredible salsa verde .

Chris

The anti-starbucks! Exceptional coffee , smiling faces and a warm atmosphere that gave us the true NYC/Hell's Kitchen experience. It's a must when you're in the area!

Kyle O'Hara

Egg sandwich won my heart. We spent about 5 minutes together but it felt like 2. I wish I could have spent more time to get to know the egg sandwich but she vanished before my eyes. I'll miss you. <3

Clarice Zhang

I've been here so many times and it's still the perfect little coffee shop to study at. You just have to bring a pair of headphones. It's busy. High turnover. 2tables w about 10 chairs. Awesome!

Oliver Orlicki

Hands down some of the best coffee in NYC. The owner and his staff really know their coffee . Great people and great coffee make this my go to spot in the hood.

Love this place, we had been there several times already and will definitely visit again. Love their sandwiches as well . (though tried very recently)

Garrett Kim

If you come between 8a-11a, get one of their AMAZING breakfast sandwiches--and be sure to add some homemade salsa verde !

Erdem Özkan

Small, cozy coffee shop serving delicious coffees and sandwiches ...

Steve D

A wonderful local coffee shop in the neighborhood . The breakfast sandwiches and an iced coffee are fantastic.

Randy Gray

The coffee is amazing - oh and the croissants are fantastic too. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the science behind coffee brewing...must be why it's so good!

John A

Great pour over , Counter Culture coffee , local vibe. Cookies are just liked I baked them myself! But I am not a good baker so peanut butter cookies come out a bit burned looking, but they taste ok.

Michael Kauffman

Breakfast sandwich with chorizo , egg , cheese , tomato , avocado is best in Hell's Kitchen. Available on weekends only though.

Kelsey✨

Super cheap , delicious coffee and they carry oat milk

Michael

Good homemade sandwiches and best quality coffee you'll find in this part of the city . Brewing Counter Culture .

Ishmael Vasquez

Local coffee shop that ironically or unironically plays smashmouth. Lattes and sandwich are winners. They have a special sandwiches daily.

Danley Hu

I like the decor- it's spacious , but that's about it. The iced lattee was average. The staff could be friendlier. They also play hip hop music a little TOO loud for a coffee shop , in my opinion.

Raynaldo Persad

The best coffee I have had in a long time ie right next to Starbucks but way better and easier plus each sandwich are amazing

Keith Lea

Three varieties of single origin pour-over! Also they make a decent chai latte . Counter Culture beans .

Sung Hwang

Love this place. Counter culture beans . Flavorful pour-over. Wish it had more space but more space might ruin the experience so its okay. Too cold to stay longer in the winter.

Eric Grant

The only bad thing about this place is its popularity. It's quite crowded for lunch so get there early (or after the rush) to get a seat by the window.

Fredy Pinto

If you want excellent coffee in the Hell's Kitchen area, this is the place to go… and you will always get a smile from the staff

Kathee G.

Great sandwich for vegetarians : the cauliflower hummus sandwich has such a nice balance of sweet and tart . Highly recommended.

Jason

Solid espresso drinks , fresh scones , muffins and croissants . Come back for sandwiches during lunch .

Louis Bitsko

Clearly the best maybe the only place for quality coffee in the surrounding area.

Nick Radford

European strength and quality coffee available. Friendly staff .

Emilie Bandy

Best coffee in the neighborhood . Great staff and killer egg sandwiches on the weekends!

Phil Toronto

A glimmer of caffeinated hope on 10th Ave. Good coffee , friendly staff , a little room to sit and solid wifi .

Uffe Hagen

Very good Guatemala pour over , very good sandwich . Higly recommend this place

Bennett

Great coffee with awesome service and good sandwiches on the most perfectly toasted bread .

Ben Drucker

Best coffee within walking distance of Lincoln Center. They brew Counter Culture .

Most of what goes by this shop is heavy truck traffic heading uptown, but there are people too. Rex is above street level and with a full glass front you can't help but gaze out. Coffee & wifi . Read more

Elevine Berge

One of very few places in town that offer not just almond milk , but also oat milk for the iced lattes ! Score!

Michael Kauffman

Ain't that a kick in the head: the new 'Fizzy Idido' is a sparkling refresher on a hazy day.

Anna NYC

Cauliflower hummus sandwich is delicious and great house baked cakes and cookies .

Nick Gorczynski

Excellent coffee , friendly coffee shop service, delicious and inventive sandwiches .

Badr Albanna

Coffee , meals, and pastries are all delicious. You can't go wrong!

Justin Martin

Best interpretation of a Cuban sandwich I've ever had, nice place to read if you can find a chair

Al

Best Coffee Shop on 10th Avenue between 36th Street and dozens of blocks on the Upper West Side...

Marisa Franco

I dream about the cauliflower hummus sandwich that's served here. Ask about it. Order it. Eat it.

Ed

Great coffee /// Great service. Well done.

Nik Dawson

Great coffee and tasty Cuban sandwich . Nice communal tables to hang out.

Marlon

Very nice people making very good coffee .

Love that they have counter culture coffee . Blueberry muffin is delicious.

The Blueberry Muffins here are the best I've ever had. If you eat one, you'll start craving them!

Ethan C

Only decent coffee spot in the area. Serving Counter Culture . Espresso are bit too acidic for my liking though...
