The coffee is expensive but it's quite good. I'm a pretty tough customer when it comes to drip coffee - I find a lot of places make it too strong or too bitter. Their coffee was strong without being overwhelming - it tasted good and just getting it with oat milk was enough for me, I didn't even need to sweeten it the way I usually do at most coffee shops. You can tell they take their time with the brew. This place fills up but if you can't find seating on the cafe side you can look for seating on the "Work It" side. If you're in the workspace and have ordered on the other side they will bring it to you or put it through the section in the middle that links the two spaces. There's also a restroom on the workspace side as well as a little area to get cold drinking water. read more

I stopped by 787 Coffee last Sunday before a visit to the Brant Foundation. It's a tiny coffee shop - maybe three or four small tables, with 6 or 8 chairs and a counter to order coffee at. I love that 787 highlights and celebrates Puerto Rican coffee culture (their beans are grown sustainably in Puerto Rico). I didn't love that it was so tiny (not a place you could expect to comfortably read a book, work, study, or hang out for a longer than a few minutes). I ordered an iced americano, and I wasn't aware that they serve their coffees in bags (rather than cups), but in the style of a Capri Sun from my childhood, I was soon drinking my coffee from a bag. I understand it's both a branding choice and a sustainability one, too (the pouches use 60% less plastic than traditional cups and lids), but I don't love walking around with a coffee in a bag. I'm perhaps just a bit too old to be walking around drinking my coffee out of a Capri Sun pouch? I like this location of 787 as a place to get a coffee on the go. Maybe I'll get used to drinking my coffee from a bag? read more

Stopped into 787 Coffee and ordered an iced americano along with a black cold brew. The total came to $16. Both drinks were served in bags, which was definitely a fun and eye-catching presentation. Taste-wise, the americano was smooth and well-balanced, but the cold brew leaned sour and didn't sit right with me. For the premium price, I expected both to deliver a bit more. The concept is creative, but for me, the flavor didn't quite match the cost. read more

This place is nice and clean. I ordered an iced coquito latte--it was good, but the price is pretty high. I wish it were more affordable because I'd come back every once in a while to treat myself. The decor is really cool, with art on the walls and comfy couches--great for hanging out with friends and chatting over coffee. read more

787 Coffee shop is super tiny, but it has so much character. We stopped by to get a refreshing drink on this particularly hot day. They have some very cool wall art all over the walls, there's swings for seats as well as some comfy couches. My friend and I each got their iced Tamarind tea. These teas were $7 each. This isn't bubble tea, it's super basic tea, that comes in very fun packaging. This came in juice packs that are similar to Capri Sun. Sadly, it wasn't very good, or flavorful, it was super watered down. This was disappointing, since I know how this tea should taste and it was $7. Based on what the other customers purchased, it seems like all hot beverages come in traditional cups, and all the cold ones come in juice pouches. I do wish they would put a bit more focus on the quality of the product. read more

The barista had a shirt on that said..."Eat P***y Not Animals" Not only did they have a slamming coffee at a reasonable price ($3 for a large refill is great in NYC), but there were locations in several places in town. It was a nice roast from some kind of latin blend. As a coffee lover I found it to be a good batch that I could sip on all day. I did just that. I legit drank this coffee from 1pm to around 8pm (in ma thermal cup). It was a nice roast. A nice small shop and a nice blend of coffee. read more

Tiny but chill spot to grab a cuppa. I was able to snag the scenic window seat (with a swing). It's a fun seat to people-watch from, but terribly uncomfortable if you have to open a laptop. This location also doesn't have a restroom so you can't fully relax while sipping your coffee knowing that you'll have to pee afterwards. Luckily there's another (slightly larger) 787 Coffee location on 10th Ave with a restroom said the sweet and helpful barista at this location - just have to walk 5 blocks uptown and show your bright yellow and black 787 cup. Why didn't we go to that location instead? It's not as charming, no window swing seat there, and the bathroom (where the toilet is) is extremely tiny, like for an elementary school kid. I doubt my mom could squeeze into that lone little stall. read more

787 Is a popular spot with three locations in the East Village alone (can't find the 110 2nd Ave location on Yelp). The 787 by Abe Lebewohl Park is in a great spot and it attracts a lot of foot traffic. It's good for getting work done in the morning during the workweek but definitely more difficult if you're coming on a Friday or weekend. I've been going here for a while now and their consistent Puerto Rican blend is a hit with longtime coffee lovers like my parents. More PROS: open late (8 PM), great seating outside, as well as cozy lighting/wooden tables While I appreciate the fun, new packaging of the plastic pouch, it is kind of silly to carry around. It makes it look like I'm drinking some sort of alcohol cooler at 9 in the morning. I wish they carried both options. I just can't give it five stars because sometimes there is only one person working which makes the line run a little slow. Also, their prices have steadily gone up over the years which is sad but they give a discount if you live or work in the neighborhood (or both!). It is for sure a fun spot to visit if you have time as they have stayed true to the local community by featuring special events as well as their Puerto Rican connection. I enjoy the Iced Americano as its clean and refreshing and the pasties selection if good despite sometimes not having black bean empanadas. Sometimes you'll get lucky with cookies coming right out of the oven, definitely makes it hard to say no. read more

$8 for a watered-down cappuccino! I can't believe I paid for a quad (4 shots) and it didn't even taste like it. It was also crowded and busy. There were only 2 people working behind the counter (1 person at the register taking orders + 1 person making every single coffee). Whatever system they have in place here clearly does NOT work because the person at the register was just verbally saying every part of each order to the person making the actual drinks. How is that efficient? read more

I popped in here with a friend as we were in the area. It's a super cute little coffee shop and I believe all of their coffee comes form Puerto Rico. They have a few tables and some swings at the front to sit at. They also have a few outlets in case you want to do work or charge your device. The staff was friendly and the chai latte I got was good, so I'll definitely come back again. read more

The coffee was alright and I think it was slightly expensive (which I'm used to at this point). But I did not like the service honestly and it frustrated me. The employee kept asking me question after question when all I wanted was a cup of coffee. They also kept asking me if I'd want to purchase other things and if I would want to donate $5 (Almost the same amount of money as the coffee). I understand the sentiment but I would appreciate that they stop putting the customers on the spot like that and put them in extremely uncomfortable positions. read more

Loved the vibes and coffee here. The Guava Quesito is the best I have had in a VERYYYYY long time. Too bad they were sold out of Empanadas, as my son and I were really hungry. We arrived at 2 PM, and was told they sell out early. We purchased two bags of coffee. The Whiskey infused (great as a iced coffee) and their regular roast. I really enjoy coffee that isn't too bitter The art on the walls was lovely (loved the Campesinos). I was a bit bummed that they were not playing any type of latin music while we were there. Would have loved to hear some latin jazz or some salsa to show off our latin culture. Will def go again and look forward to visiting more locations read more

When the weather approaches 32°F it is absolutely freezing in this small two-story building. The barista is obviously cold and for a customer it is borderline unsafe.

This has everything that a little coffee spot in the city should have: quality coffee, thoughtful decor, and welcoming staff. The mocha was excellent, with just the right balance of coffee and chocolate. And they were quite understanding as I stood there like a mannequin and completely spaced on putting my card in, haha. I was only passing through, but I'd be more than happy to stick around with my laptop next time - because the music was at a reasonable background volume, not assaulting your ears as other places do. I find that this is uncommon enough to require comment. The neighborhood discount is also a very nice touch. Just a first-class operation all around. I hope they find themselves in the West Village someday, but I'm definitely not averse to strolling east to see them! read more

I've been meaning to try this coffee shop, and I finally made it! This is their second and newest location in the East Village. The barista / manager welcomed me in and walked me through all the pastry options as I was looking for a bite to eat. I decided to go with the spinach and cheese empanada, and it was moist and flavorful, a nice complement to my ice latte. The coffee itself was quite good as well and nicely balanced. They source their coffee beans directly from their farm in Puerto Rico, and you have the option to buy their beans. Oh, they have a lunch deal (empanada + coffee) for the price of $7.87 - clever! As for the atmosphere, even though the space is small, it doesn't feel cramped at all because of the large windows letting in plenty of light. Accents of yellow in the decor add to the overall brightness. There are two larger, community-type tables, and I like this because I have enough space for my laptop, food, and coffee. Wifi was very reliable too. One thing is that the stools are backless and a bit high compared to the table, so it isn't the most comfortable setup. Overall, a great place to stop by for a coffee and some Puerto Rican treats! read more

So gross and disappointing. I've loved EM for a long time but now will never go there again…read more Three of the empanadas were dissolved. It looked like someone put them In the bags then stepped on them but packaged them anyway. One red sauce, one of green sauces and the rest were some super gross white cream that tastes like it's gone bad. The bag was fine when I grabbed it. When I got home 20mins later and went to pic it up it DISSOLVED on my passenger seat and then onto the floor. So on top of everything will have to get my car cleaned.

Strawberry shake was ok, not my fav. Its taste healthy and fresh as exactly what it is made of. Strawberry and milk, probably no sugar

No greeting, no "I'll be right with you" as I'm just standing there waiting to order. Even though we ordered around the same time, my friend got her empanada first while I sat here for over 7 minutes waiting for mine. How difficult is it to reheat these empanadas? It wasn't until I had to walk up to the lady at the cash register to ask about the status of my order. She then gives me my bag that was just sitting behind the counter. Did they not bother to call my name/order number? And trust me, I was listening diligently to make sure I hear my order when called. Like I said, empanadas tasted good, big in size and packed with meat. Not sure if this is a sketchy part of town or just where the riff-raffs hang out soo that may explain the lack of care here. A place to just order your empanadas and move on with your day.

Palermo was absolutely incredible. I was intrigued the moment I looked at the menu, and it exceeded…read moreevery expectation. We ordered the octopus, tuna tartare, skirt steak, and chicken, along with a margarita and the Palermo Mezcal cocktail. Every single item was exceptional. Even the complimentary bread that came out at the beginning was a 10/10. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we loved being able to watch the kitchen prepare our food from our table. It's a small kitchen, which makes it even more impressive that they're consistently turning out such thoughtful and delicious dishes. I noticed some reviews mentioning slow service, but I honestly think those people missed the entire point of the experience. Palermo isn't meant to be rushed. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and feels like you're sitting in someone's living room enjoying a meal they've carefully prepared just for you. We never felt pressured to order quickly or rushed through our meal, which made the experience even better. Every dish was meticulously prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell that everything is made with care and attention to detail. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, Palermo created an experience that felt warm, intentional, and memorable. If you're looking for a spot that makes you feel like you've been transported to Argentina, where you're welcomed to slow down, enjoy great company, and savor your meal at your own pace, this is the place for you. Palermo delivers more than just incredible food--it creates an experience. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and authentic, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

I usually go to my favorite places in NY, but this time I thought I'd try some new places. And this did NOT disappoint. The dining room is small, and there is also outside seating (when the weather is nice, of course). The server was very nice and gave good recommendations. I had the NY strip Milanese which was VERY good. It's a steak that's pounded, and breaded. Served with a side salad, and a side of mashed potatoes. The bread they served was warm and came with a sauce. DEEEEEEEELISH!! It paired perfectly with my glass of Malbec. I'd love to come back next time I'm in NY for more!!
