Wonderful atmosphere and extremely friendly baristas, the coffee is delicious. Birch coffee is great quality, both in drinks and the whole beans. You can get a punchcard for a free coffee, which pays off if it's on your daily route. This location is not particularly accessible/spacious - just something to keep in mind! read more

Came here actually on a recommendation of one of our daughters who had been here before while visiting New Yorkers to find on the street. there's maybe three or four stool seats inside. Not a huge coffee menu but good for traditional espresso type drinks. Super fast service read more

Super friendly service! This little Birch Coffee spot may be small (only about two seats inside), but it's clearly set up to serve a great cup of coffee. I ordered an iced Americano and loved it -- smooth, clean, and flavorful without being overly bold. Perfect to drink black. Glad I stopped by! read more

I really like this location of Birch, as it's walking distance from my office and even though tiny, has amazing people working there. All the staff are super friendly and their pastries and coffee/tea selections are always great. My only complaint is that often times there is a line out the door and you have to wait, but to me, it's worth it. Would highly recommend coming here if in the area. read more

I stopped into Birch coffee after a run and I really enjoyed my cortado. The shop on the UES is small, which makes it a bit confusing as to who is in line and who is waiting to get their coffees. That being said, the coffee was very good and I'd recommend the shop to anyone in the vicinity. read more

Their iced hemp latte cures ALL!! Ordering ahead on the app is super nice and convenient!

After a run around the Central Park loop, I stopped by Birch Coffee since it was conveniently on the way to my next destination. I picked up a small COLD BREW and CHOCOLATE CHIP SCONE which hit the spot this past Friday morning. The cold brew was good but on the more forgettable side, nonetheless refreshing! The chocolate chip scone filled me up and it wasn't too sweet or dense. Paired well with the cold brew. Total was about 10.00 including tax! The interior is pretty small and more like a stall -- definitely a grab & go place. read more

Birch Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Cute place! I'm not a big coffee drinker but I can't resist good pastries or tea. Whenever I go, there's usually a line but the baristas make it quick. The space is tiny so sometimes you have to wait outside. I've had their chai latte and hot chocolate, as well as a few of their scones and they are outstanding. A very close trip to Central Park. There are a lot of corporate-ish coffee places around the area so it's nice to support a local brand. read more

When I arrived, there was only 1 other customer. When I picked up my coffee, the place was slammed. I was very lucky I arrived when I did. Popular place in a good location. The employee who took my order seemed like a trainee. Nice, but slow. The staff making the beverages was very good. He was singing the whole time. Fun. It's $5.55 for a 10 ounce flat white. read more

I've walked by so many times thinking I'll go in one day. So, this weekend I finally stopped in thinking it is mid-morning and won't be a crazy rush. I hate being rushed especially when I haven't been and want to take my time deciding on a drink. I think I picked a good time because just as I got my drink, a rush of folks came in back-to-back. The two baristas and cashier were moving fast though! I asked the cashier for a recommendation because I wanted to try something unique. He suggested the matcha latte with orange cream even though he prefers a regular vanilla latte. I was hesitant, but boy was he right on how good that drink was!! For some reason I thought the drink would be orange or have orange foam on it? However, it looks just like a regular green matcha latte, but the orange cream is mixed into the drink. Surprised at how well the flavor combo worked! I paired it with a chili cheese palmier. I took it home and toasted it a bit and boy was that divine! Crispy, buttery, flakey! They don't have an oven at the shop, but if you can wait to take it home and heat it....it is heavenly. Small shop with just standing room only so mainly for to-go orders. No restrooms. They sell a variety of drinks and baked goods. $5.75 for a basic matcha was decent pricing for the neighborhood. A quick walk to Columbus Circle from the shop. I would grab coffee & a treat and head to central park for a walk. Can't wait to be back! Shoutout to the cashier who gave me a great recommendation this weekend! read more

This is such a cute coffee shop, and their drinks are great. Tried the iced Matcha latte and it was delicious. Good flavor and not watered down by the ice. Unsweetened on its own, but with vanilla or simple syrup it's lightly sweet. Service is nice. They handcraft each drink and are helpful to answer any questions. read more

This place is quite nondescript that I never notice it despite walking past it a few times everyday when I was staying at my friend's place a block away. Another reason was I usually walked on the other side but still, there was no big awning to catch people's attention like other restaurants or shops. Finally on my last day in Manhattan I told my friend I wanted to go there as I saw it on the map. They do have loyalty card so ask for it if you are a local. It's a take out place with no seating. I had the flat white which was not bad. Besides drinks, they sell merchandise and some baked goods. I think the focus is their coffee beans and drinks. Good place to grab and go for a cup of coffee before going about your day. read more

Came by to satisfy a matcha latte craving and thankfully they have it! It's a small and cozy store and staff are very efficient and friendly. They have everything you need for a coffee or morning before work breakfast. The matcha latte was alright and wasn't the best I have tried but they are better than Starbucks and not so sweet. read more

I've been a loyal customer at a variety of Birch locations for about a decade. Their signature iced tea is exceptional and the Cold Brew is above average. BUT...the croissants are so stale that my dog won't even eat them! read more

Very cute nice vibes. Employees were so nice and the drinks are quick! Everything you want for you morning coffee run

You can taste the freshness. Good way to start the day and my family got their coffee very quickly. No complaints.

In my opinion, this coffee is one of the best! The staff is always polite and friendly. A very atmospheric place. My favorite coffee shop in Manhattan! read more

Birch Coffee - a cup of coffee and a snack on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Such a cute, quirky coffee shop in Hells Kitchen near Central Park! Iced coffee was strong, smooth, and high quality ($5.50 for a large), and staff was very friendly! This is a grab and go spot, as there is no space for seating. They have a bookshelf with free books that you can swap. And plants with fun labels that made me chuckle (Aplantis Morisette, Amy Vinehouse). read more

I walked by and this little coffee shop caught my eye! I love birch trees. I ordered a large latte with hemp milk. They do not have almond milk. I'm not sure why? Anyway, the coffee was pretty good! The hemp milk is creamy. Made my drink creamy. Nice flavor. It's $6 which is average for the city. They have little cards they punch for your coffees. They also have an app. Next time I'm near this spot, I will stop again. :) read more

Birch Coffee - Large latte with hemp milk, $6 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I normally would go to Birch on the UES, but this one on the west side didn't disappoint! Grabbed regular latte and oat latte and a couple pastries. Everything was tasty and worth trying. So now I know I have another coffee spot I could stop by if I'm ever around midtown west. The service was great. Moving fast and didn't have to wait long for coffee which I loved. Although, it was a tight space, def not a place to hang out. Highly recommend getting Oat Latte and choc chip scone! read more

Tiny place that fits about 5 people before he line has to be outside. Note, people will put orders through the app and can jump the line that way, so recommend, and a drink card if you frequent this place to get a free drink after a set amount of purchased coffees. read more

Birch Coffee at this location is mostly grab and go. It's close to Central Park so you can enjoy a seat in the park and sip your coffee. This is not one of my favorite Birch Coffee Shops. I do enjoy their coffee when I'm in this neighborhood. Customer Service at all of the Birch locations is top notch. The employees are always friendly and efficient so you're not going to wait long for your coffee. That deserves Four Stars right there! read more

Coffee was balanced and not bitter. Ordered a latte and it was perfectly made! Staff was friendly and great service.

While there is virtually no room inside this coffee shop, the baristas know what they are doing. The coffee was smooth and certainly beautifully designed artistry using the foam. They do have one table outside, but for the most part I would grab a brew and then head to Central Park. Baristas were personable in addition to being competent. read more

Stopped by on the way back to Virginia when a friend saw this place and wanted to try it. Not crazy about what I got. I ordered a Macha latte with oat milk and it felt like I got a cup of green oat milk. It also was mostly ice which I hate when you get a drink with a majority of ice. The good part about this place is that the service was good and quick. It's a nice small little store and there were only 3 people that I saw but they were friendly and it had a nice cozy feeling to it. My friend got the mocha latte and said it was pretty good so I guess next time I go I'll get coffee. read more

They have almond milk now! And with that simple addition, it's become my favorite coffee shop in Manhattan. The staff is genuinely kind and friendly. I've seen one male barista greet several customers by name. Their cappuccino is one of the best I've had in NYC period. read more

This place was good! The staff was very helpful in choosing my drink. The lavender hibiscus latte was good if you love lavender and sweeter drinks. If you are looking for a not so sweet drink, the flat white was good as well. There is no place to sit if you are looking to sit down and have a relaxing cup of coffee but it was great to just walk in and get drinks in a timely manner. read more

Cozy, well-lit, and friendly cafe. I love the creativity of drinks they have (I've tried the Mockingbird) and the quality of coffee is great. It's my go-to in the Hell's Kitchen area! read more

I had the toasted almond iced tea with milk and my partner had an iced latte. Both were delicious! I love that I had a fun caffeine free option. However, this location is listed as wheelchair accessible and it's really not. My partners chair couldn't handle the bump at the door, and there's so little room inside that it would have been really hard for her to navigate in her chair inside. She had to wait outside while I went in and ordered. Edit: they are not listed as wheelchair accessible now, I'm not sure if it was when my partner found it, but our experience was definitely diminished by the lack of accessibility. read more

Great spot! Great staff, always pleased with the coffee. But cramped during rush, but if you have patience it's very worth it :)

Hey customers, let's remember a couple of things. Come into the store, order a coffee. Or decide not to order a coffee and walk out. Or ask a question and then make a decision. But don't come in and give the barista a hard time just because you're having a bad day! You don't like the products they're offering? Great! It's NYFC, so you can go to any of the other cafes or delis in the block. Luckily, it's a small cafe, so even the jerkiest customers order to go and then leave. Customer behavior aside, the espresso is excellent, they have soy and oat milk, and prices are definitely cheaper than at the chain across the street. read more

Checkout lady was the worst I have ever experienced at any coffee shop. I simply ordered my drink and 1 biscuit. As I was waiting, I remembered I never received my biscuit, so I came back up to the counter to let the checkout woman know that I never received my biscuit. She couldn't even acknowledge what I said by looking up and directly at me. Instead, she proceeded to grab my biscuit with attitude, placed it in the bag, and then threw the bag at me on the counter with attitude, without even looking at me. Immediately, I was shocked!!! I understand people have bad days, but you never treat anyone like that. The manager of this store needs to review this and action needs to be made. I will never come back to this location because of this. read more

Definitely your grab-n-go type of location but also one that I dig. The coffee is on point and the service is top-notch. During the nicer times of the year, you can grab your drink and head over to Central Park, Hell's kitchen area, or anywhere around Columbus circle for some seating. This spot is cozy and offers some delicious pastries as well. read more

Rating out of 10: 4 Ordered a cold brew with nothing in it. I usually prefer to order cold brew because I hate the sour taste iced coffee can sometimes give off. Paid $5 for a large and the cold brew was sour! Starbucks has better and stronger cold brew than this brand. Sorry, I would not recommend read more

I loved this cute little coffee shop. There's almost no seating, but it doesn't feel super cramped even with a line. And boy is there a reason for the line. The baristas are upbeat and welcoming, the coffee is made quickly, is beautiful and instagram-worthy, and tastes incredible. Their roasters have done an excellent job, as the espresso does not have an acidic flavor. The barista's recommendation of the iced hemp latte was the favorite, but the hot oat milk latte was also fantastic. read more
