Editorial Review for Think Coffee – by Kiri Tannenbaum
In Short
Blocks from the NYU campus, this large coffeehouse provides a haven for intellectuals, dreamers and those in favor of sustainable agriculture. Milk is supplied by a Hudson Valley farm and all the coffee is organic, certified fair-trade, and shade-grown, meaning no trees were needlessly cut down for the beans. Teas, espressos, cafe au lait, and affogato (espresso with ice cream) are on the menu as are bagels, soups, salads, sandwiches and treats--all made daily.

Spacious well lit coffee shop located right in the middle of the NYU campus. The coffee is fresh and definitely a step above the Starbucks norm. The place is amiably spread out with table and counters in the front and a more open back area with couchs and lounge chairs. Comfortable to pop open and finish that novel you were reading. It is however extremely packed... of NYU kids naturally. So it can be hard to get a seat depending on when you show up. If you like hanging around pretentious little snobs or just want to kick the cr@p out of them then come here. Well that and if you like good coffee and some fairly good sandwiches to boot.
Pros: great coffee, comfy spaced out decor
Cons: NYU snots

* Cafe donates approx. 20% of their profits to worldly/needed charities and puts their money where their mouth is when it comes to supporting the betterment of those involved in the coffee trade supply chain. In addition, the space is big and lofty with a somewhat rustic feel with large wood pillars, old tathered lanterns decorating the wall & lots of exposed brick. * Coffee is strooooong and good and they serve it large enough to suspend anyone's coffee fix (at least for a while). Their desserts are mixed, some looking homemade, some perhaps store bought from a decent bakery but probably locally. They also offer soups though I've never indulged.
Pros: Powerful brews of potent dark roast
Cons: During academic year too many NYUers crowding the joint
