Joe Coffee

Serving up an ever reliable cup of coffee at one of my favorite New York City roasters and cafes. This space is cozy, but expect to wait if you wish to sit. No public bathrooms here. Also - no wifi, so bring your pen and paper!

I was just about to leave the metropolitan when I asked one of the staff there -- who was a local -- for a nice coffee shop in the area; she immediately pointed out this place, so there I went.

I arrived around early evening and stayed there almost until they closed, and I had a great time sitting there with my tablet and working on a painting. There aren't a lot of tables available at the shop, but I got there early enough to get my spot. The coffee itself was nothing special, but on the other hand I also had a banana chocolate-chip muffin which was great.

The real plus though were the people. The two guys there who served the customers were extremely friendly. The place seemed to have a lot of regular customers, all of them sounded cheerful upon arriving to the place, and some even had stayed and had long conversations with the guys who work there. This gave the place a very welcoming and cozy-friendly vibe, and since the place is rather small it never felt as if it was too noisy.

If I were to live around that area, I would've definitely visit there often.

Swiss water decaf. All good. Not much seating, but enough.

Just a few years ago, this was the best coffee in the area. In the 3+ years that I've been going there, the prices have risen significantly (my large cold brew is now about a dollar more than it was 3 years ago) and the coffee has been diluted -- their cold brew is now basically iced coffee (I honestly thought they were giving me the wrong thing for a while); the same amount of milk turns it white, instead of barely affecting the color.

It was already over-priced (but tolerable, given it's on the upper west side), but now it's insulting. I can get better cold brew at Starbucks.

Great espresso (served with sparkling water - yeah!), Indulgent pastries (the coconut cream donut is fab - and apparently has fewer calories than an almond croissant), very friendly service and sun-missed benches (at 8am anyway) outside.

My visit to Joe Coffee at 514 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10024, USA was a delightful surprise. From the moment I entered, the scent of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me. Their signature cappuccino was a masterpiece, with a rich, velvety texture that left me craving more. The café's cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to unwind with a good book or enjoy quality time with friends. It's a hidden gem that I'll happily return to.

I stopped by Joe Coffee for a quick caffeine fix, but the long wait and disorganized service left me frustrated. They need to streamline their operations.

My visit to Joe Coffee was a mixed bag. The location at 514 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10024, USA is convenient, but parking was a nightmare. The coffee was decent, though nothing to write home about. The staff seemed distracted, which affected the service speed. However, the shop's commitment to sustainability is commendable, and I'd be willing to give them another try on a less busy day.,Joe Coffee,514 Columbus Ave, New York, NY 10024, USA
