I love Afficionado! Great place for a drink or baked goods. The Daddy Latte is my fave. Vegan carrot cake muffin is delicious, go early because it does sell out. If you need a place to sit down and read, this is perfect. It's decent seating for the area. During the warmer months they have outdoor seating as well, plus you can always go across the street and relax at the park too! The service is great. Everyone I've ever interacted with has been amazing. PS: little inside baseball - sometimes if you come later in the afternoon, they'll offer baked goods to patrons in the shop. NO ONE BETTER GET IN TROUBLE FOR ME SAYING THIS! I'm talking to you shop owner, your employees are GREAT. read more

Super cute little place! Withing walking distance to our cruise ship we needed to waste a little time. A few tables and chairs outside and a few seats inside but offering some well done pastries and drinks. I went with the feta banka and an iced matcha. Both good. The layers of the feta were flaky and had a nice crisp. read more

Really fantastic coffee and lovely vibes! I had the Cardamom latte and it was one of the best coffees I've had in a while. Service here is honestly very kind and caring - much nicer than walking into a starbucks and having a bunch of people who don't completely care about your order and are just following directions. The love for what they were doing was clear here. This is definitely a bit out of the way for most, but for a weekend book, breakfast sandwich, and coffee this is definitely the vibe, especially if the weather is nice and you can see a cruise ship come or walk along the Hudson after. read more

This is a really great Saturday or Sunday morning stop-with a friendly staff and extremely clean and aesthetic vibes. The prosciutto, brie, and jam sandwich was incredible, with crispy bread and a nice salty bite. I also ordered a chai, which I was a bit underwhelmed by. It tasted like the milk to chai ratio was off, but nonetheless, I enjoyed the experience. Everything together came to about $23 read more

I actually came in looking for cone filters which they didn't have but they were amazingly nice and offered me one or two of what they did have. I didn't taste the coffee but would bet more on people who are gratuitously nice rate than those who are gratuitously mean. read more

Very happy I stumbled upon this coffee shop! It takes you out of the hustling city and into a quiet and peace environment to enjoy some coffee and a bite. Sitting inside was cozy, while the outside would be great for a warm day! Pro tip! Bring a book and get comfy, you won't want to leave read more

Cute cafe w seats and WiFi. Many ppl working on their computers. I always order iced americano w chocolate a pump of chocolate. The coffee was good. I also enjoy trying an almond croissant (as we know they are not all created equal). The staff was friendly. I noticed, It could get a little loud with everyone talking and working and the music playing. Prices were a little expensive. Super cute, clean bathroom w code to access. I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

A friend suggested we meet here. I'm so glad they did. The ambiance was comfy and functional. Great place to catch up with friends over some good ass coffee. I had the americano and it had great flavor and strength. I love almond croissants and this was a good one. The croissant was flaky buttery and almondy throughout! They also had the serve yourself water station, which i am always a fan of! The service was quick and friendly. I can see why my friend is a regular here! Great place to get your thoughts together! read more

Food, service and most importantly (as important) the coffee is AMAZING! Unlike many of the coffee joints around #hellskitchen

came across this coffee shop as i was on a walk and absolutely loved it! we got one iced cortado and one psl and they were both amazing, they have macadamia milk which i highly reccommend because its DELICIOUS - i do believe it is an upcharge (as always sadly) but definitely worth checking out especially if you're in the area. there's tons of seating inside and out and the staff was super friendly. will definitely be back to try more drinks read more

I got tickets to a taping of the daily show. Looked up cafes while in line because it had been a long day and I needed some caffeine. Saw the great reviews for this cafe and the proximity to the studio. What a cute cafe! The ginger drink peaked my interest. The way the barista explained it was think ginger ale with honey and coffee bean husks notes. I thought that was intriguing, and tasted delicious. read more

TLDR: If you love single origin coffee and coffee in general, this is one of the best spots in NYC. I love coffee. So much so that I've done various coffee farm experiences abroad to learn how it's grown, harvested, and processed. So when I walked into Afficionado for the first time, I was extremely excited. Afficionado is a celebration of coffee. In addition to their great single origin selection, they have a tea made from coffee leaves, a carbonated ginger beverage made with the skins that cover coffee beans (my personal favorite) and a cherry-cranberry-like drink made from cascara or the fruit of the coffee plant. I don't know another place in NYC that's like this. I really enjoy their pastries as well. I forgot where they're sourced, but I enjoy the chocolate chip cookie and the cinnamon kouign amann that reminds me of the Starbucks morning bun. Their breakfast sandwiches are also great. Overall: one of my absolute favorite places for coffee in NYC and if you love coffee as much as I do, this will be yours as well. read more

Cisco was amazing!! We went in for a matcha and a coffee and he gave us great recommendations. My matcha was delicious I like it not sweetened and I love that they had that option of not presweetened! Very cute indoor seating. They had some pastries that looked good too I will have to go back to try them! read more

A super cute interior, with plenty of varied seating options, from tables to couches to bar stools. There's a bathroom inside and wifi, so it's great for working. Although I have to say the wifi isn't the best, it's still a great study or work spot if you don't need to heavily rely on wifi. Good coffee with hints of chocolate, and the barista is super sweet! Located a little bit further from the subway station, but it's worth a visit. read more

Came here while visiting NYC and it was the best latte I've had while being here. The vanilla latte is the perfect amount of sweetness and the interior is adorable during the holidays. The baristas were nice and very talented with their latte art. read more

Coffee is ok. Nothing special or amazing. Uniqueness and aesthetics give this place two stars. Ordered a bagel that literally took 20 min to make. No thanks for waiting or anything either. No thanks. Not to mention the bagel came with a salad and when I got home it was soaked in the dressing....didnt even eat it because it was soggy. They should've have wrapped it or separated it. But real talk, $24 bucks for coffee and a soaked bagel. Just no. I will not be back like ever. read more

I get coffee here often. The decor is very nice, very Peruvian and BoHo. The coffee is Okay, and pastries also Ok. They used to be phenomenal in 2022 when they opened. It peaked in 2022 when the pastries were from Uri Sheft. The staff was phenomenal back then, now its Ok. read more

I came here for a quick lunch & study session after a Solidcore class, and it was such a great find! Cozy and tucked away on the west side of town, Afficionado has a lovely, calm atmosphere with some fun chairs and soft seating for hanging out and a few tables for doing work. I got an iced Americano, which was pretty good and standard, but I was really impressed by the smoked salmon baguette. The portion is incredibly generous, and I was very impressed by the thick slices of salmon atop a delicious sesame Jerusalem baguette. For $13.25, I felt like this was quite the steal for that much fresh fish! In terms of the trifecta I look for in coffee shops to study in: wifi bathroom outlets? I'm not sure, didn't need them. read more

The best coffee in the neighborhood, I'd say. They have a nice selection of baked goods too. Seating inside but on a nice day, the outside tables are great too -- sheltered by the ever-present NYC scaffolding. Friendly service. read more

Wow I wish I lived closer to this coffee shop, because I loooooved the ambience and my chai latte / chocolate croissant. There's a good amount of seating available, and it seems like a nice coffee shop to do work in too. I like that you can use Apple Pay to purchase. It's also nice that they've got some food and pastry options as well. I ordered a medium size chai latte ($5) and it was sooo yummy. Not too hot, not too sweet. But I was especially impressed by the quality of the chocolate croissant. They def got it right. Nice and light flaky layers. Would 100% recommend! read more

I came here super early on a Sunday morning, and they were just opening up shop. The store was beautiful inside; tons of seating, airy, and seemed like a wonderful spot to chill for an afternoon. Service was a bit interesting; they seemed to have a couple more things to do before they were ready to serve me, but rather than letting me know, they just ignored me for a couple of minutes. I got a cortado, and overall super solid. More on the fruity side, but not overly so. Good milk ratio, and overall well balanced. Can definitely tell the beans they use are of high quality. read more

This is such a cute and cozy cafe, great study spot, and has wifi and a restroom. Nice workers. I ordered a hot matcha latte with oat milk and it tasted just right, not too sweet & not too bitter. There aren't too many seats inside, and it gets busy during the midday of weekends. Also can be a bit of a walk from the subway, but I prefer that because it feels secluded. The only thing is that when I was sitting at the long middle table, there was a radiator underneath that kept vibrating the table and my hands the entire time. But otherwise I found the cafe to be a pleasant find and am looking forward to returning to try their food menu! read more

Found this cute little coffee shop on my walk last weekend. Nice service and the cold brew, was good but it's fairly small so there wasn't any open seating. If you're in the area, go for it! If not, I wouldn't say it's worth going out of your way for. read more

The smoothest quality coffee and tea I have come across in the neighborhood! I got my drinks with macadamia milk and they were just right. The mini chocolate croissant was divine. The interior was so comfortable. I could sit here all day with a laptop and get so much done. The music was just right too. So peaceful and comfortable. For the milk options, they have regular, oat, and macadamia. read more

A small quiet coffee place with seating for about ten guests. About four or five tables. Some people sit and work. Some outdoor seating close to the trash can on a dirty sidewalk under the scaffolders. Staff is friendly. Prices are too high. The taste of the coffee and tea was so-so. The wifi works. read more

Such a cute cafe with limited seating. The staff are super kind and patient and the environs is quiet and intimate. I ordered a Prosciutto brie sandwich with a vanilla macadamia nut latte (delicious non dairy milk option). The sandwich has a perfect balance of flavors of savory and sweet with the brie cheese, thin Prosciutto slices and fig jam topped with arugula salad. I think they added a mustard as well that gives a little spice at the back of your tongue but not too much of a spice. The vanilla latte was just what i needed to start the work day read more

Decent and calm vibe. Would not go out of my way to go out here as it is a bit far and the iced coffee is average, but still good. The environment is very dreamy and good. I got a cookie and the cold brew which hit the spot. More of a personal day place as the atmosphere can get quiet here. Prices are standard as my drink was $4.75 + tax. read more

The good: they have good coffee, snacks, and pastries. Decent relaxing decor. The bad: My first visit was nice, but in subsequent visits their kitchen closes at arbitrary hours not consistent with their listed opening hours. Service is sometimes unpleasant and negligent. read more

Love this spot. Very cozy and wonderful in the summer with the outdoor space. Came in cranky the other day and AK went above and beyond to cheer me up. When I thanked him he just said, "That's my job." Definitely get the daddy latte and tip these buddies well. read more

stopped by and grabbed a latte and an almond croissant on a sunday morning -- both delicious (croissant was clearly freshly baked, and i didn't have to add anything to the latte at all to enjoy it, which is rare for me). staff was super friendly and the general ambiance was very pleasant. plenty of seating indoors, perfect place to catch up on some work or just take a break from life for a while, depending on what you want. read more

Coffee here depends on the barista they have for the day. The last 4 times I went there, I tried caramel/vanilla latte with or without oatmilk and americano. Today, I went for the 5th time to get 3 caramel lattes. The barista who had a mustache and glasses did a terrible job. There was an uneven amount of three coffee - one was a full cup, second had a little less, and third almost had 1/4 of coffee missing. Two out of three didn't even taste like caramel latte. Let alone service was crap. This could be upsetting because coffee prices are a bit high compared to other local areas. The ambience is quiet, and the place is small enough for you to sit down and work if needed. read more

This place is awesome! Stumbled upon it one morning and was surprised to see that there even was seating and WiFi - hard to find sometimes in Hell's Kitchen area.

love this cafe; it's deserving of the 5 stars it has so far! Cozy inside with different types of seating. There's a little sofa area that is very comfortable. The Daddy latte was so so good. I usually drink my lattes w/ skim milk but they told me they only do whole milk with this one so I ended up trying a latte w/ whole milk for the first time in awhile and it's changed my mind. I think I prefer whole milk lattes now dammit I'm tryna trim some pounds Anyways - service was great too; baristas were very nice. Wifi is good. Cute cozy cafe with great coffee! read more

This coffee shop has their espresso ready before. I don't know how long before but the two times I ordered i got it within 2 seconds. The first time wasn't bad. I ordered iced latte and it was decent. But the second time, the espresso was really watery so my iced latte tasted like just milk. I told the barista and she told me to order iced cortado instead next time, which wasn't my point. Also she just poured extra shot on my latte without even asking me and the latte still tasted watery, which proved that the espresso wasn't decent. I don't think their coffee is bad. I guess it's up to who the barista is. read more
