A FAugust 9, 2014Solid playlists, friendly baristas and tasty coffee make this a great place to unwind for a few minutes on a weekday afternoon.
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 30, 2018Great little coffee shop tucked away in the FiDi with robust Intelligentsia coffee, one of my favorite beans coming out of the west coast, and a small yet open interior aesthetic.
Fave local coffee spot. Great options include: Honey lavender lattes, matcha lemonades, cookies, croissants and my go-to for a traditional breakfast platter composed of eggs, avocado and toast
Maryam KhanAugust 31, 2013The side "walk through" option is awesome and surprisingly rare in NYC. No need to tie your dog outside or mime your order through the glass when you want a cuppa!
At a lot of places that serve Intelligentsia coffee in the city, you get a heaping dose of attitude behind the counter. Not here. Everyone is super cool. Get a chocolate chip cookie!
Alberto J S Moreau DNovember 14, 2022Excellent coffee and good food selection. We liked so much that went to take breakfast four days on a row and could eat different things. Fully recommend.
Nathan GammieSeptember 16, 2013Well-brewed Intelligentsia coffee paired with big windows and a decent amount of seating. (Ignore the gMaps pin, just come to the corner of William & Platt!)
Serious EatsOctober 15, 2013Intelligentsia coffee, served on pourover or as espresso, along with Balthazar and Ceci-Cela pastries and big ol' salads.
Latte CAT score - 8/9: Cup 2, Art 3, Taste 3. The cat loved his latte but was disappointed that the saucer and the spoon were missing. Meow! 🐈
Terence ChanJuly 10, 2015Nicely cold brewed intelligencia coffee. Chocolate crossaint is buttery but skimping on the chocolate. Yogurt parfait is avg. Homemade chocolate chip cookies are good.
Excellent cappuccino, wet and smooth. Intelligentsia espresso was right balance of sweet and bitter. Balthazar almond croissant was delicious
Sigalle BarnessOctober 4, 2013They have almond milk - a coffee necessity Starbucks and Bean & Bean refuse to recognize!. Also great sandwiches and paninis!- Love the chai, and the Balthazar pastries are a def plus!!! Especially given the location. Space is small so snag a table by the window if you can!!!
If you've got time, they've got one of the best pour overs in FiDi. If you're in a rush snag a latte. Friendly staff are worth the visit.
Tom AlfieNovember 18, 2015Sit by window to the left as you look at the counter and you can get Starbucks WiFi 😂
The espresso drinks are amazing, friendly staff, small but cozy. The sandwiches are also perfect, get the roast turkey panini.- John MichaelJanuary 29, 2015Intelligentsia coffee is great. Oatmeal makes a solid workday breakfast. Just enough seating to meet a friend for coffee but not great for working.
JessicaOctober 5, 2013Loved this place! Enjoyed a bran muffin with iced vanilla almond milk latte. Simply amazing!
SusumuJanuary 13, 2015A small coffee shop in Financial District. It's a good alternative to Starbucks.
micchele tottiNovember 1, 2014The second place in Financial district that serves good coffee after Blue Stone Lane. To me those two are the only option for quality in the area.
The best grab and go place in the area, but if you have time, grab something and sit across the street by the fountains.- Best Cold Brew in downtown Manhattan. Get the croissant or a bagel (from Balthazar).
Evan StaffJanuary 17, 2015If you have good taste, then finding something appealing in FiDi is about as difficult as spotting a unicorn, and this is one of the only good coffeeshops. Be forewarned though--there's no WiFi here.
TenantKing.comAugust 6, 2014There's a general consensus that this place has amazing sandwiches! We suggest you try the Turkey, Brie and apple sandwich.
The Genoa salami sandwich is a good one to try. Generous with the salami, wide choice of spreads. I like the pesto mayo.
In addition to good coffee, try the fresh mozzarella sandwich and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies
Best lunch spot in fidi. Paninis are on Balthazar bread and perfect size.
Aasma FFebruary 19, 2013One of the tastiest panini's I've ever had(roast turkey, Swiss,& pesto); the bread was extra crunchy, just how I like it!
Andrew WoolfDecember 24, 2013Awesome espresso. Possibly best I've ever had. Not bitter at all; no sugar required. Try it.
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 15, 2015Nice quaint local coffee house that isn't overrun by the crazy morning FiDi hustle and bustle
Andreas KanakisApril 3, 2015One of the few places down town that offers good coffee. Not the warmest place to be, but it serves it purpose.
Maura PaganoAugust 23, 2014Cookies are unreal and perfect! Love the sandwiches too. Service is awesome.
Kelsey WilliamsSeptember 25, 2014Great iced coffee! Their chai latte is excellent!! They offer almond milk.- Luna JaySeptember 26, 2014Strong, sharp double espresso. So must come back for their other espresso drinks!
Maya Jimenez 😬August 28, 2013So many amazing sandwiches and really good service! Perfect lunch spot in the FiDi.- Nate BeattyMarch 23, 2015Really good options for lunch, even though it just looks like an espresso bar from the outside.
SS+K's Guide to Downtown NYApril 21, 2014Good coffee (runner up to Jack's) as well as great sandwiches, baked goods, and more.
12oz single origin pour-overs now being served! Allow for extra wait time if you want to treat your taste buds to one of the cleanest tasting cups of coffee.
Hipster haunt in FiDi that uses breads from Balthazar. All ingredients are high-quality. Recommended.
Kristen SmartFebruary 12, 2014Great service! Intelligentsia!! And these chocolate chip cookies are to die for!- Good croissants and scones plus obv the intelligentsia coffee is awesome
Jonathan OrralaJune 3, 2014They have almond milk! It's free, but you have to ask for it and they will give you a splash.- Great flat white - just right proportions and foam consistency
- Try the Honey Lavender Latte (hot or iced, always great).
Delicious, super fresh sandwiches and great service but not a good idea if you're in a rush!

"surprisingly popular in a row of five different nail salons around its corner, William Nail Spa is a new Taiwanese-owned nail salon that's both relaxing and worth the wait.."
