D&A Travel: AndersDecember 28, 2013[Fika] There are six Joe now, from West Village to Harlem, but this is our favorite. Outside on the bench is best, just watching life walk by; inside with a coffee and a book/friend isn't bad either.
If you're a size queen (when it comes to your Joe), just go for the large black drip. You'll need two hands for that monstrosity. The "large" yuppie espresso drinks are short and stubby in comparison.
New York HabitatOctober 18, 2011One of the best places to go for a simple, strong, tasty coffee. If you come often, get the frequent buyer card so you get your 11th drink free! Also take note that it is cash only!- D&A Travel: AndersDecember 28, 2013There are six Joe now, from West Village to Harlem, but this is still our favorite. Outside on the bench is best, just watching life walk by; inside with a coffee and a book/friend isn't bad either.
The best espresso drinks in New York - strong, smooth, chocolatey and irresistible. Settle in with a cappuccino, and a perfect croissant or muffin, and enjoy the great tunes and Village ambiance
Alexandros PlexidasMay 19, 2016Chai latte and cappuccino were good but I mostly like this place for the nice small terrace in the front. Really enjoyed sitting there and see the people passing by 😀
Simon HSeptember 28, 2014A good quality coffee, nice tunes and artwork on the walls. Try stumptown coffee for a good alternative on 8th st.- Tom CoatesNovember 2, 2017Great coffee and pastries and a nice environment. General food selection fairly limited though. Place for a snack but not a meal.
Sameepa ShettyJanuary 11, 2015Try the Americano Misto or Cortada. Small but has a community table for a bigger group. This isn't a meeting place but a place to come a savor a great cuppa Joe.
Justin McKissickJuly 14, 2016Variety of coffees to choose from, rotating selection. Great space to meet up with friends but no Wi-fi.
Lauren MacOctober 5, 2015West village neighborhood favorite with a line (that moves fast). Very good cappuccino and inviting wooden seating, if you come early.
PhabiAugust 19, 2012Amazing! Just had the small vanilla latte. To Die For! Haven't had such a good coffee in a while. Also try the salted peanut butter cookies, very good too!
krg.October 11, 2013If you're fixin to find romance at a classy (cash only!) cafe on a cute corner in the West Village — you'll be glad to know: I just witnessed this btwn Purple Pabtaloons & a Chuck-rockin foreign chick
best part about Joe is that the baristas are without question #1 in nyc but don't take themselves too seriously. bonus? it actually means something to be a regular here which is hard to find anymore.
Tina WongJanuary 10, 2012This location & company started my love for expertly made coffee (that's almost a decade ago). Though there's changes of the beans, etc., it's still my go-to spot for coffee.
Best coffee in the city. Especially the drip and lattes. Being going here for 10 years and always take out of town guests here.
David JohnsonSeptember 28, 2018Had a flavored latte. Was a little pricey, but quite good. Very small and cozy with friendly staff
This is the Barry Bonds in '01 of iced lattes. It's taking delicious espresso steroids and unfair to the weaker competitors.
- Thomas MoAugust 14, 2014A classic NY joint. Great coffee, great price, great staff. Reliable for that cup of joe every morning.
- Grab an espresso and relax on one of the benches outside. Read a good book or watch W. Village locals stroll by.
- super-friendly staff and Underwest Donuts. a cozy neighborhood shop
Food & WineApril 22, 2011Jonathan Rubinstein's espresso shop in the West Village has been a hit ever since it opened in 2002. Rubinstein recently switched to beans from Ecco Caffe, a boutique Sonoma roaster.
Top notch microbrews+longish lines mark Joe The Art of Coffee, which sits on a coffee fault line 3 avenues west of Oren's Waverly Pl. shop. Relax at the handful of tables w/Joe's offer of newspapers.
Kimmie OhhJuly 31, 2020Kind of pricey but they have amazing coffee! They serve Underwest donuts too!
Lazarus PantsNovember 12, 2014Lattes here are so good, I nearly drank the entire thing before I remembered to snap a photo!
Serious EatsApril 21, 2013Good coffee at Joe is a given, but the Manhattan mini-chain specializes in helpful service.
Tip your barista. You should be doing it anyway, but sometimes they'll give you an extra punch on your card!
Pricey but really good coffee. Small space but there’s always somewhere to sit and it’s very pleasant. Celebs sometimes
Be prepared not to get a seat, but be prepared to get the best cappuccino in town--so always get the paper cup
Laura BlackJuly 26, 2015High-octane, flavorful coffee for those who like a good roast and a strong brew. Love the small-shop ambience.
Can get pretty busy during peak times, which in this west village location is most of the time, though I've seen it pretty chill in the early week (Monday Tuesday).
CharlottesApril 7, 2015Very happy to have this as our new local cafe. Nice strong cappuccinos and yummy scones and cookies.
Kelsey✨March 3, 2022cozy cafe, great for people watching & getting some work done (there’s wifi & a few charging outlets)
Emily WillenApril 1, 2016Prices on board already include tax. Great coffee, plus hormone - free milk. No bathroom.
Billy MarksApril 14, 2013Super hip crowd, but not much room t sit. Good de a gab'n'go on a weekend before walking in the West Village.
Bring cash. Pat the pups outside. Try the peach cake donut sometimes for a treat
Good stuff here. Those outside benches got to love them. Right by the west 4th street station. Go for it!
PJ TiberioMarch 26, 2010One of the best coffeeshops in NYC that I've been to. It's got a great neighborhood vibe and always picks me up with a large iced latte.
Stephanie StreeterFebruary 19, 2014They have started accepting credit cards at all of their locations except grand central!
a landmark coffe shop. In the summer they have an iced creamy coffee- krg.October 11, 2013cash only. I can not stress this enough. The only indication they don't take cards is a tiny sign you'll only notice once you're at the register, rifling through your George-Washington-less-wallet.
