  1. Their pastries are good too, but the coffee is the real prize at this place.
  2. As the other reviews suggest, the friendliest counter guys make your coffee with lightening fast speed.
  3. J&B is definitely my favorite coffee in all of NYC!
  4. They don't rack up charges for "extras", and a great place to get your coffee to go, or when you are in a rush.

Great Coffee

by ktpamph

J&B is definitely my favorite coffee in all of NYC! The baristas are super fast and learned my order after like 4 visits. Small coffees are a dollar and they steam your milk for you.... be sure to check it out!

  • Pros: fast, friendly, good coffee

deliciouso - with a smile

by dmeshkov

This is the coffee house that you head to when you need a delicious cup of coffee. As the other reviews suggest, the friendliest counter guys make your coffee with lightening fast speed. Regulars generally have their orders waiting, the coffee is made from the time you walk in the door until you reach the counter, which only gives the barrister 5-10 seconds, but he always manages. J&B is a wonderful place. I highly recommend it. Their pastries are good too, but the coffee is the real prize at this place. Tell them Shorti sent you, youll get a laugh

  • Pros: Coffee, Speed, Price

Great Value

by arthurbach

The service is really fast and friendly, and the value is great. They don't rack up charges for "extras", and a great place to get your coffee to go, or when you are in a rush.

There is little room though to sit if you are looking for a coffeehouse, and the quality is at times hit-or-miss, though the value outweighs the occassional disappointments. Be forewarned that the coffee comes very hot.

  • Pros: Value, Service, Speed
  • Cons: , Small Space
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

World's Fastest Coffee

by crappe

He should probably be making millions at NASA, but instead one of the world's quickest, smartest and friendliest individuals is serving coffee at J & B. If you're a regular, you don't even have to order-- as soon as you enter the store, your drink is ready. A Village institution. There is nowhere else to buy coffee in New York. Period.

  • Pros: best coffee guy, fastest coffee guy, best, fastest coffee
  • Cons: small space
