Ninth Street Espresso

Just east of Ave C, this shop uses an Alphabet City Blend custom roasted by Chicago-based Intelligentsia. All of Ninth Street’s espresso drinks use three times the regular quantity of beans for a single shot, resulting in increased natural oils and a luxurious espresso with nutty hints of caramel.

Awesome coffee esp soy latte . Also the blacberry plum muffin . Busy in the morn, Not many seats but cosy ambient, Plays chilled music .

Michael Donovan

Interesting fact: ninth street espresso is on 10th because of the Mandela effect! Don't believe me? Look up the Mandela Effect for yourself!

Douglas Elliman

A chill and quiet spot , perfect for studying and reading. Although the décor and menu are minimalistic, their coffee is brewed to absolute perfection. The baked goods went perfectly with our espresso .

Katie Childress

My hot chocolate came with a heart, then mine melted... I tasted it and smiled. This was over a year ago and I still remember that hot chocolate . It was great.

Arnoud Aalbersberg

Question is to get a great coffee before or after your workout in the park across the street. You might run into Al Kavadlo, famous bodyweight trainer .

Lara Schenck

One of my faves. Get a delicious iced coffee (and it's not just a cup of ice, mind you. They don't skimp) and go chill by the dog park in Tompkins = weekend hangover recovery

Gillian

I love looking at the ever-rotating collection of art on the wall while waiting for a nine ounce. Great way to start a Saturday or Sunday morning.

Willem Van Lancker

An excellent no-frills espresso bar with great cold brew and pastries . Cash only .

seth lachs

I've wasted my money in all the damn bars and cafes in this friggin city - this place makes THE BEST espresso drinks in all five boroughs. not maybe. not sometimes. definitely and always. nuff said.

Ashley Rose

You can't go wrong with any espresso drink here. Iced coffee for the summer if you're into that sort of thing. And always a pastry

Nate Beatty

Ninth street espresso sets the standard for espresso and pour over in Alphabet City . The Tompkins Sq Park location does not disappoint.

Marie

Quaint cafe with excellent coffee and friendly baristas !

Gunnar Aasen

Great place to hang out and get some work done when there's room.

Anna Frenkel

the wifi password is 341east10 and there's an outlet by the stools near the corner.

andrew

The best latte in the city , and Shark, the greatest barista the city has ever known.

Alleycat

Best coffee in the city ... I love to get my coffee here and walk across the street to Tompkins Sqr dog park and watch all the doggies play = great Sunday morning

Michelle Lara Lin

$3 for an iced coffee but SO AMAZING! Cash only . Remember to tell them to punch a heart in that card on the counter because once you hit ten, you get a free coffee .

Clay Nielsen

Not too thrilled with this spot. Got a lot of sass from the barista who then took my to go drink and started drinking it himself. Espresso was chalky. Great place if you're into pretentious baristas

Joury AlS

Great Cortado ! Amazing staff .. worth visiting

Kinsey Lane

Sit at the front window for some excellent people watching . Excellent coffee - probably the most developed fruitiness I've ever had.

Jason Brew

Nice simple coffee shop with a great view of Tompkins Square Park . Liked the cold brew

Aditi

Great espresso and lots of room to spread out. Quiet and good atmosphere to get things done!

Drew Sickler

Make sure to get a punch card when grabbing coffee here regularly to get a free cup after the 10th visit.

Marie La Rue

Excellent cappuccino and great location across the park

Serious Eats

Serving Intelligentsia-roasted coffees with an occasional severity that makes you just take it all the more seriously.

Saleem

Have an espresso drink and get some work done at the bar along the front of the place.

Raphael Langenscheidt

Nice guys serving strong coffee . If you don't mind the price tag, this place is great. They should really add some seats though.

Dylan Stilin

Order an espresso , grab a seat, and get some work done with great music in the background.

Joseph Attanasio

Cool shop, cooler coffee . Opt for the hot brew. Wifi password: threeseat

Saif Dia

Espresso with milk includes machiattos, cortados , lattes , and more - don't get confused. Cash only though!

ben m

Definitely one of the better cups of coffee in the hood. Not the most comfortable for work though.

Chris Carella

Ninth Street it a staple and if you catch barista Kate, you'll get one of my favorite macchiatos .

Jason Brew

Simple but very good coffee shop with a nice view of Tompkins Square Park

Geoffrey Brown

Great latte . Even better cappuccino . If NYC had it's own equivalent of Blue Bottle , this might be it.

Jessica Angeles

Amazing coffee , hipster vibe , and super nice baristas. What more could I ask for?

Donna S Cass

Great coffee shop ! Staff is always helpful and friendly and the coffee is great....

Burk Jackson

Some of the best espresso in the city ! They're a cash only business though, so remember that...

Eric Ho

Amazing iced coffee

Daniel van der Merwe

Espresso is pretty good - 7.5/10. I went twice and the first time the barista was pretty unfriendly, but the second time he was actually a jerk to me. There's no ambience either.

Kathy M

Great coffees . Snag a window seat with a view of Tompkins Square park .

Chris Maddern

This place has mastered the cortado . ☕️

AmateurConcierge

Solid iced coffee ....way too much space to not have some more seating tho, amiright?

Owen Corso

Best coffee in NYC, both drip and cold brew are exquisite.

Mischa

A good 6oz latte is all what your morning soul needs

Ms Helene

Awesome coffee . Minimalist decor and seating. All about the caffeine here!

Food Republic

Real talk: every single type of coffee drink is exceptional. Our favorite is the Americano .

Christina

May be the best Americano I've ever had. Excellent.

Jasdev

Snag a spot on the bench outside ????????

Todd Olmstead

I like the 10th Street location because it feels homier, but despite offering free wi-fi, this isn't the best location to get work done. Serving Intelligentsia .
