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

Editor's Review

This alternative to mainstream coffeehouses is socially conscious, uniquely decorated and spacious enough to hang out and spread out.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Where to Sit

Louder conversation dominates up front; couches and tables serve as quieter study areas in the back.
