The Friday Five: Volume 40: A Coffee Study of NYC

The best and boldest in Manhattan Proper

I. La Cabra

Starting off strong, (pun intended), this is probably my favorite coffee shop in all of the city. The cold brew is exceptional. It’s a proper strong coffee and you can taste the flavor notes. It’s bold.

II. Ninth Street Espresso

Ninth Street Espresso is in the East Village and it’s a lovely place. The cold brew is also very good along with the espresso (of course).

III. Coffee Project NYC

Coffee Project NYC has several really cool pour over options and their spaces in general are really beautiful to work out of.

IV. Cafe Abraço

So Cafe Abraço is a beautiful cafe in the East Village. In addition to their coffee they have lovely cocktails and it’s a fun pre-dinner drink option.

My favorite drink is the Abraço Spritz.

V. Birch Coffee

Birch Coffee is a classic option, they have a cute and welcoming space and I love their lattes. The location on 7th Avenue is my favorite.
