John AFebruary 21, 2015Local brews... Everything from drip to cold brew to espresso/flat white. Try the scones and pop tarts. Drip coffee strong roast with bit of afterbite. Check out their curated Spotify play list.
MischaApril 5, 2015Contrary to its sister location on the east side, this small coffee shop does not serve sandwiches, but still serves a great coffee. If you trust me (and you should) a latte is all that you will need- MarieApril 20, 2015Love this cozy little spot! The cold brew iced coffee is strong and delicious. The staff is very friendly. Limited seating but that's part of its charm.
Small shop but love the decor and the baristas. Make sure you grab a loyalty card if you plan on coming back for more!
Josiah David ChapmanJanuary 29, 2018A favorite place of mine to sit and write for a few hours while toting around the village, tactfully close to notorious attractions, making it a lovely coffee hiatus for tourists and locals alike.
Kevin O'NeillAugust 2, 2018You come here for the good espresso stuff. Pick your poison (cap, latte, macchiato, cortado, americano). They know how to pull a shot.
Lauren MacFebruary 20, 2016High quality espresso, cozy vibe, and community-feel with conversation starters, questions of the day, and books to borrow. Wonderful spot in Chelsea!
Gizem GülSeptember 7, 2014Amazing taste of good quality coffee beans. Iced cappuccino goes well with natural grain bars. Cozy atmosphere. Perfect for rainy days in NYC :)
Patricia SerranoOctober 18, 2014This is the best coffee shop ever. I always get the soy latte but everything is amazing... Including the people.
Ance KalejaSeptember 19, 2015Whether you get an espresso, americano, latte or one of their special brews, it will be fantstic. Small, cosy, delicious and wonderful staff!
Simon HSeptember 28, 2014Try the flat white its awesome. There's a few birch coffees in the city. This ones a bit smaller. The upper west side location does some awesome sandwiches.- Best coffee shop in the area, treat yourself to a Kyoto drip coffee out of these monsters.
Dough's hibiscus doughnuts are always a hit, but get there early before they sell out. They also have good cold brew, on draft or slow drip Japanese style.
Elizabeth CarrJuly 20, 2014Friendly staff, great cold brew, on-point selection of doughnuts, muffins, and scones from Dough, plus Balthazar croissants and magpie hand pies
HeidiMarch 3, 2018Birch manages to maintain a small shop feel despite being a chain and located in a touristy intersection. Personable servers, carefully made drinks, fast service. Small space with limited seating.- Connor LevensJanuary 29, 2013Legitimate, gourmet coffee and espresso-based beverages. The first of two planned expansion stores in Manhattan, and the best staff around.
Cold brew growlers are perfect to take with you for long weekends outside the city.
AdamOctober 16, 2014Bloody great coffee. Very friendly service too. Definitely my new go to for caffeine when I'm in this neighbourhood.
Anna LJanuary 8, 2014Small place. Only three high top tables, and a couple seats by the window so don't assume you can have meetings here easily unless you go in the late evening!
Tea For Me PleaseNovember 21, 2013They serve loose leaf tea! This location is tiny so I recommend getting your cup to go. The Green Dew is quite good :) Read more
- one of Birch's tinier locations, with seating for ~10 people. as per usual, pastries from Balthazar and Dough are available
Ethan CAugust 10, 2014Small but cozy. Lines are long in the morning but good place to people watch if you can get a window counter seats. Great espresso drinks.- Really good coffee. They have Dough donuts and other baked goodies.
Kyoto cold brew is tasty and very different from Stumptown's cold brew
Dylan StilinFebruary 12, 2014The coffee is good, no doubt about that, and the window seats are a great place to sit and work/entertain yourself by looking out on 7th Ave.
D.P. MartinMarch 25, 2016Coffee was great! Had an almond croissant but it was a little on the dry and crusty side. Possibly stayed in the oven a bit too long.
Ayesha AhmadAugust 7, 2014Really fantastic coffee. Small and hard to get a table. So don't plan an important business meeting here. You may end up standing.
I love this place cos they make flat whites! Try one of their Dough donuts or Blue Sky muffin!
Marie PorrasJuly 28, 2015Best coffee in NY, amazing friendly & funny staff. My favorite morning place!
John BoothJuly 8, 2016Small hip cafe, it's a little more expensive but the coffee is very good and made with care.
Ahn BustamanteFebruary 2, 2017Great place to get coffee. They also sell cold brew. Staff very friendly.
Tyler MuseSeptember 21, 2014Delicious lattes and a dirty chai that is a welcome swift kick in the ass. Love the staff and decor.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guideJanuary 21, 2013Taking over the Irving Farm branch that used to be at this location, Birch Coffee extends their coffee roasting & cafe empire from the Gershwin Hotel to Chelsea. Read more
Ruthie DarlingOctober 19, 2014Fabulous coffee as featured in http://ruthie-darling.blogspot.com/2014/08/golden-girl.html
Danley HuOctober 19, 2017Read a lot of tips that they serve a good lattee. I got an iced large lattee and I didn’t like.
Cold brew by the growler is good value once you get addicted to it.
This is maybe my favorite latte anywhere. I get it large with regular milk
Daniel BarnettOctober 25, 2014Birch is the man. Comes through big time. Very crowded but usually worth the wait.
Elizabeth BursteinDecember 29, 2019Macchiatios dont have enuf milk imo. Banana walnut muffins are delish!
LilyFebruary 11, 2016Buy their coffee beans if you also brew coffee at home. So amazing and not super expensive for a bag.
Consistently well-made cappuccinos and delicious Dough doughnuts
Mmm the cheddar, tomato, and avocado grilled cheese. Perfect pair to a well-poured flat white.
