I love this spot. Cool atmosphere, nice staff . I love the teas , bagels , and the iced mocha is divine. If I lived in the area, I'd be here every day.

The Corcoran Group

Great little coffee shop to stop in with our pup and our laptop. We love to get the chai latte and power through some work (free Wifi here!).

Petka Mikusova

They do not know how to make a good coffee at all. Asked for flat white , showed them how much milk should be added and still received a big cup with a milk filled up all the way to the top.

Nick Nick

Great coffee , but the service leaves something to be desired. I go here multiple times a week, and often weeks go by before my order is correct. Also, their "avocado spread " is just guacamole .

Cassie Wallace

Amazing music , good coffee , really chill and not pretentious spot in the East Village . Come here to do work or read a book . But hold your nose in the bathroom .

Eran Dror

Laptop-Free area is very selectively enforced. They forced me to move to a back area with no electricity or light and then ignored the 4 people with laptops that sat there for the next 2 hours.

Lindsey Berg

My go to study spot during finals - free wifi and they are open until midnight. Dirty chai is great and they have Hale & Hearty soups for a cold night.

Jacob Forster

Best iced vanilla dirty chai I've ever had! Fantastic place to get some work done with fast wifi , it's spacious , and they even have printing .

Alvaro Castillo

Great chill NYC coffee shop with a few locations. Great place to do work. Beats the rat packed Starbucks where doing any sort of work or chilling is virtually impossible

Carly Ayres

Perfect place to grab a chai , a table, and get some work done. Loud-ish music , so not great for calls, but free wifi (no password required).

Stephanie McIntyre

Perfect place 2 study since the place closes at midnight! Food is a bit pricey but get the $5 lunch - it's a steal. Don't recommend the tempeh salad - would prefer if food was a bit more fresh

Kt Lacasse

This place is my favorite lazy afternoon hangout, as well as my hangover cure . Lovely atmosphere. Get the kale smoothie !

Sue Ellen

Love this place! Great place for studying, working or Gavin a meeting! Has printers too!

Gabrielle Shiner

Comfortable coffee shop , great for working in. Free wifi and vegan pastries . Chai latte is delicious - mighty sweet, but mighty flavorful!

Annie Lu

Abundant plugs, comfy pillows/seating, free wifi , super nice staff . The hot chocolate steamer is amazing. Free doggy biscuits for your pets too.

Ayelet A

Nice neighborhood coffee house . A great place to sit with you laptop, very chill atmosphere.

Allyssa Manning

my favorite coffee shop in the city ! vegan cream cheese for lactose intolerant. my dog loves it here

New York PR

I loved that I could bring my dog along. I think $7 is a lot for a small pumpkin spice almond milk latte that was nothing special. For that price I would at least expect latte art .

Kelsey Williams

The gluten free bagels here are awesome! They're are on the small side, but are the closest tasting to a real bagel !!

Ariel Viera

Great coffee shop for studying and a late-night coffee . Also this is a dog-friendly place.

Jon Chan

Espresso so weak I thought my cortado was the world's tiniest americano

AmateurConcierge

The busiest of the Beans tends to get real hot from the sunlight in the early evening

Maximus Shepard

Great atmos. Locals abound. Dogs aplenty. My kind of place. Drinks too sweet! Food prepackaged. Bring your own stuff

Afi Yellow-Duke

Free wifi and a good spot for hanging with a friend. The drinks are great here too!

Kim Bost

Great spot to grab a fresh juice or smoothie .

Harsh Mall

Put away your headphones and enjoy the amazing music they play. ++iced chai , free wifi .

inna kats

Delicious food, good music , cozy atmosphere . Service, not very cozy

Tim Deng

Lovely place to read. Grab a coffee and sit on the sofas in the back.

Leanne Z

Haven't found a better place to do work at a cafe in the city , if someone has one I'd love to know.

Jay EyeVee

Chai Latte gave me so much life! Definitely my go-to drink

Nastya Summer

I would say "super comfy " about this place. And chai latte is really amazing

JP

Nice coffee shop in the east village , good to see something non Starbucks

Alyssa Anderson

Great place to grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the free wifi AND charging ports .

Ing Sott

Iced Dirty Chai ! Staff is fantastic! Great place for when you need to get work done!

Ajay Kulkarni

Great cafe to get some work done. Not the best coffee , but the 80s music in the background will make up for it.

Margherita Nieri

a cool and friendly place. try chai latte and fab muffins !

Lita Xu

Good atmosphere for working, nice brew. Only bad is all their sandwich are cold

Ms Helene

Consistently weak and watery coffee . Shame since it's a nice spot to watch the world go by. Free wifi so lots of students. Soy latte disappointed.

Escott Hayashidiaz

The dirty chai latte is fantastic. Great staff and service.

Ramya Sampath

Tasty earl grey tea and fruity cereal macaroon . Banana pudding is delicious too!

Lita Xu

Although they r willing to help, they definitely don't have manner to warm the sandwich properly. Prepare yourself to get only cold sandwich or a warm but sticky one.

George Sedun

The Bean is the Best!! Great coffee great food great place and you can even bring your pet there!!

Marija Petkovic

Nice ppl, great coffee and atmosphere... What more can you ask :)

Popular neighborhood coffee spot . Cold brew is not the best in the area but solid

Fresh bagels , cheesecake was old and hard
