Decided to take a walk in the pouring rain (ok, it wasn't raining when I made that decision) and stopped by Birch Coffee. Really nice little shop, not stingy with the coffee, and it tasted great! Definitely stop by if you're in the area. read more

Asked the barista if she could make the matcha latte with almond milk and she said yes. Took a sip and something tasted off as I Immediately tasted the soy. Took another sip, confirmed it was soy and threw it straight in the trash. If you don't have almond milk, just say you don't have it. There's a huge difference in taste between soy and almond milk. and also customers should be given what they ask for given we're paying for it. read more

This located for Birch Coffee I thought was better than the other I had been to. They were much more friendly, which I appreciated, especially first thing in the morning. I had an iced latte (unfortunately they don't have any flavorings like vanilla, they only have mocha and chai). But overall it was pretty good! It's a small place with no places to sit FYI. read more

Literally the best mocha I tried while in NY. We tried many but this took the cake. Baristas were friendly and chatty. It was only a take away window and there was a line. Try them ASAP! read more

Do not buy from here, place is absolutely disgusting and leave milk out for hours on end..there cold brew is disgusting and super tangy, sign of being left unattended for far to long read more

Some of the best coffee I've ever had! The place is super tiny, big enough for just a few people in line, no seating or anything. Staff were pleaaant and made great coffee! read more

Super kind staff and very reasonable prices. A very small shop in Hell's Kitchen that is easy to miss but has great coffee inside. They also offer a student discount and have some great pastries read more

Small but mighty! Tiny location about the size of my studio apartment's bathroom but smells way better. Two wee spots by the window for a quick sip on the way out. Hopefully they'll soon participate in the CUPS app here! But you're here to have the most delicious espresso-style coffee in the city. Made at the perfect temperature by relatively pleasant staff (hey, they get up hella early!) Personally my most fav is that they have oat milk (yes it's an extra charge boo hoo). Try it - you'll be shocked how delish it is! Long live Birch! read more

Great coffee, mediocre pasties and weirdly grumpy staff ‍ maybe that's just New Yorkers though right?

After a long morning of working from home, I was in desperate need of a cup of coffee on my walk to Columbus Circle. Thankfully Yelp pointed me in the right direction and I ended up at Birch Coffee. It is a super small shop in Hells Kitchen so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you want to sit down and work or looking to catch up with a friend. The staff was super friendly and it was refreshing to see people who actually were happy to be at work. I went with the Oat Milk Latte and added in the fresh vanilla flavoring that they were advertising at the counter. The latte was so delicious, not too sweet and the perfect pick me up to keep me going. Taking one star off because the drink was nearly $6 and the drip coffee was pricier than other spots in the area so I couldn't see myself coming here throughout the week but will definitely be back to try a regular cup of coffee. read more

Service perfect. Coffee perfect. I got the oat milk latte and oh my, so creamy and smooth I fell in love! A very warm 'Have a wonderful day Diane' when I was leaving the cafe touched my heart - it made me want to come here every day! Most highly recommend. read more

This was one of the best lattes that I've had in the city. I went in the wintertime, so it was one of their seasonal winter flavors, but friends of mine have had their year-round flavors as well, and all have come highly recommended. Definitely worth a try! read more

So amazing. Drinks were delicious I got a iced chai latte and it was perfect concidering I got a bad one prior from another cafe. Everyone was warm and welcoming. Go now! read more

Eh. $9 for a coffee and almond croissant. Coffee was decent. $6 croissant was dry, stale and not very tasty. Happy to pay for a good pastry, but this wasn't. read more

The aesthetic of the coffee shop is really cute! It's clean and easy to find. The coffee shop itself is tiny. It only has about 4 bar seats. So it is not a place to study or meet up with friends, but the spot to stop by and grab a coffee on the way to Columbus Circle or around that area. They have a good selection of different non-dairy milk including oat milk and hemp. They do latte art on the coffees, even if the latte art doesn't stay intact as you drink the coffee down it is nice to have. The had background music at a good level that was fitting to the environment. The baristas are friendly and easy to talk to about coffee. They made my coffee so quickly I had barely sat down to pull my book out and they had already called my name. If I am in the area again soon I'll be back. read more

Birch Coffee - Hemp milk latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Place takes forever (15 minutes) to prepare a latte when no one is waiting, and their coffee sucks anyway.

I don't really have much to say other than "it's good coffee and quick service". The staff was preoccupied with something when I arrived but they quickly took my order and I was off. There were no lines, no frills and not much room inside. If you're in the area, it's worth a try. read more

staff was rude and unhelpful , definitely made my experience terrible. I'd never come back due to the way I was talked to by their staff.

Super small space, quick service, good coffee!

Love the student discount! And the cold brew was great. I also got a matcha crumble cookie and a macaron.

SO GOOD! Been in NYC for a few days and haven't found a good place to get coffee until this one! The coffee was super delicious and the staff was really friendly. read more

This is one of the rare places that have student discounts. Their coffee hot and cold are delicious. They also offer oat, soy, and hemp milk. They have quite a good array of healthy baked goods also. The baristas are always really nice!! I've come to this place more than 14 times read more

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

Very limited store space inside, ordered a cordato and a cappuccino. The cordato did not taste strong and that cappuccino did even less. If you are a one coffee aficionado, please seek a different establishment, I would still recommend the place to average coffee shop goers. read more

Solid cold brew and not too long a line at 9:30am on a weekday! Their food selections looked tempting, particularly the almond croissant (... though realistically, when am I NOT tempted by an almond croissant...) Will definitely return if I'm ever in the area. read more

I recommend this Birch Coffee location if you're looking for a great cup of joe to-go. The quality of the coffee is great; it's the same as any other Birch Coffee location around the city. HEADS UP: There is NO seating to study or relax and chat with friends. The shop is extremely tight, with only a handful of people fitting inside at a time. The store consists of only the walk-up counter and some standing space. It does have two stools and a small counter for seating against the window, but I'd personally recommend taking the coffee for a walk over the Columbus Circle to take in the views and be Park. read more

Quickly stopped by here for a great coffee on my way out of a broadway musical. Super small space (only like two seats) but very very good coffee and they had their fair share of baked goods. It's the classic pick-up-your coffee and go kind of spot. I got a fantastic americano and my friend got a cappuccino - you can tell they use very good beans and they really do it right! It was a great pit stop during a cold NYC day. Don't expect to sit here for too long since they don't have much seating but your a New Yorker, you got things to do anyways! And if not, grab a coffee and go explore the ever touristy Times Square and midtown area nearby. read more

Good oat milk latte, wish their large sizes were actually large though. It looked more like a small. read more

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

The coffee here is pretty good but on the more pricey side. Milk substitutions and making a drink iced also cost extra. Service is really good and the staff are all super friendly and fast. I would recommend the cold brew and flat white, both are my go-to's and very good. They converted the store to a booth that you can order from during the pandemic. read more

I've always checked out Birch Coffee from the outside on my way to Central Park. The shop is quite small but it offers good coffee and pastry. Good place to pick up some coffee on the way to work. read more

good music vibes and coffee. try the chili cheese palmier! also the baristas are iconic and nice.

The staff is so friendly! I purposely go out of my way to get my weekend coffee here because of the baristas are awesome. Shoutout to Jess!

So thankful that Birch opened a location in Midtown West. 9th Avenue needed a solid coffee shop like pizza needs cheese. They have delicious coffee that competes with the best cups in New York. This location is very small. Probably could only fit 6 customers at a time small. There's a few bar stools to sit at by the window I would say it's more for a quick rest than a spot to work on your novel. read more

Birch Coffee - Storefront on 9th Ave - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Came here to get a cold brew. It tasted ok, but why would you charge 4.50 for ice and a splash of coffee. It is a cold brew, not an iced coffee, why is there ice. Ice waters it down, also chills it to the point that you aren't able to taste the full flavor profile. Originally rated this as one star due to how dissappointed I was with ice in the cold brew, seems like that is standard around here. read more

Im so glad I discovered Birch around my school! They have some goodies and great coffee! It is a small coffee shop that you can't miss out on. read more

Hands down, probably one of the best coffees in the city. Loved the silky, creamy texture of soy latte; good people, great coffee. Also try the almond toasted iced tea, yum. These guys know how to make a good coffee. read more

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

Perfectly pulled shots in well steamed milk. This small little branch serves up delicious coffee. It was a lifesaver for the grueling long days of my conference. Finding it was a little bit hard but the search resulted in great cups of coffee. There's a decent selection of pastries. The cheese scone is my fave amongst what was on offer. Though if you're in NYC, you probably want a bagel. read more

Long line to get coffee and they didn't have almond milk. Coffee not at level of other chains, won't be back

LOVE THIS PLACE! I got an iced vanilla latte w oat milk- oat milk is becoming their default in September so there won't be extra charge! Employees are so sweet. Small but good for an in-n-out coffee. Nice retail area too. Highly recommend read more

Quick and friendly service. They even remember that I'm a student and give me the discount every time. My favorite afternoon pick-me-up because it's not too expensive, is simple, and delicious. Thank you Birch for helping me get through law school! read more

The shop is very small. Wasn't enough room to stand inside, let alone sit down and work. There's only 3 stools by the window where you can sit. I ordered an iced latte and it was okay... it was just heavy on the milk and light on the espresso. read more
