Just when I thought I tried all the coffee spots near my office, a new one landed on my radar. While I am prone to Starbucks, they're not my exclusive spot for plural peps, and have tried several other spots in the Midtown East vicinity. This latest one, Blue Bottle, was brought to my attention by one of my colleagues - so we decided to pick up some brew to start off the day. Blue Bottle has several locations in New York, California, and Asia - with 16 of them in Manhattan. The look of the cafe is very modern with light woods and clean lines - typical of trendy coffee spots. The menu contains the standard items, though I was intrigued that they had a section dedicated to New Orleans coffee; this was marketed as sweet with chicory cream. Despite that, it was the morning and I didn't want anything too fancy and went with their winter blend. The coffee was quite smooth - I kept it simple with no sweetener and a little cream which was just enough. Overall, the coffee was good - it's definitely in line with other trendy spots I've been to. It's a little out of my way to get to in relation to my commute, but I wouldn't be against returning. read more

Quick and very friendly service! Will be my new go to when I travel into NYC by train. Found by happy accident on my walk to the hotel.

Loved the matcha latte. Authentic matcha and the foam was really good. Very small location with no seating. Can also get pretty busy because it's near tons of offices. Service was pretty good. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee - Bryant Park - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Had an amazing cappuccino here and all I can say, is this is a high quality bean! Service was great. They were patient to explain to me the differences between the choices I had and I opted for a decaf cousin with oatmilk. It was nice and creamy, a perfect choice! Always a treat when stopping here. read more

My favorite spot from one of the most popular coffee chains in New York. Service little relaxed. Coffee expensive. read more

I've order Blue Bottle Coffee online and I really like this coffee so I was so excited to see my hotel in NY is like 5 minutes away from the coffee shop! Right across the street from Bryant Park, you will see the Blue Bottle sign. The inside is a simple clean look. I ordered a Saffron Vanilla Latte and it was sooooo yum! Sometimes I have to worry about decaf hurting my stomach because they will "chemically" get rid of the caffeine but Blue Bottle does a Swiss Water Process making it chemical-free . This is one of my favorite coffees!! read more

I dislike long lines, when I arrive in front I am disappointed, I invested my time in something so mediocre. However I understand the line for this coffee. It is on the path off the D train in Bryant Park, making it accessible for people to stop on their way to work to get coffee. I ordered the pour over coffee and I NEVER want to see Starbucks again. No aftertaste or that awful "coffee bite" in the back of your throat, after drinking black coffee, just a smooth beverage that you can't stop drinking. I'm not a coffee drinker but this company convinced me to give coffee a try. I like my coffee black no cream, no sugar, just jet fuel please. read more

Fine coffee. Everything is just nice. Nothing blew me away. Pastry selection is small.

It's a small cafe with cute tiled floors and stools. My friend recommended that I try the NOLA coffee, which has a unique chicory taste. I liked it but wouldn't order it again. Workers were nice. read more

Great coffee - I've had the Iced Cafe NOLA in DC and was hoping it was just as good when I tried it here in NYC. Pleasantly surprised because it's different but delicious. Very nice staff but very little seating. read more

The speed of service in this coffee shop is great. The workers are friendly. Please keep in mind this is a smaller location. If you are in a rush you will have to wait sometimes. The coffee was smooth. There is no bathroom here and limited seating. A nice spot if you like a more silent coffee shop. read more

I am departing NYC with a Blue Bottle problem. Oh, how I wish I could go here every day for a perfectly made latte. The coffee is so smooth and has great flavor. I loved how they keep the drink menu short, but do what they do really well. Espresso is the star. They also have a small selection of pastries, but did not try any of those. read more

The coffee is very smooth. Nutty, kinda sweet, not sugary sweet, and well rounded wrt to the acidity - not too sharp or bitter at any point, guessing this is a lighter roast. Apparently, baristas here have to 'graduate' with a test. However, my request of frothed milk in an iced Americana could not be done. While I acknowledge my snobbery in coffee, one of the perks of working from home has been having my perfect cup. My $6 coffee in the West end of the main floor of the Moynihan Station will have to do. Maybe I'll try the cold brew next time. Legit option for those looking for an alternative to Starbs or dunkin. read more

Yummy coffee just extremely overpriced. I ordered the Nola shakerato and it came out to almost $10.

I went to blue bottle 3 times while in NYC. Two times I got the lavender yuzu iced latte and one time a matcha. Didn't care for the matcha- wasn't anything special for the price.... The latte however was AMAZING. I loved it. It's a very small coffee for like $8.50, but it was really good. I think the seasonal drinks are probably where it's at for the most part with this place. The service was good and the ambiance is nothing special. read more

Hey, another San Fran resident in NYC like me. I remember when they first opened in SF and there were lines around the block. Wasn't quite that bad but the line here was pretty long too. read more

Exponentially one of the better coffee place near Bryant park. Skip all the others which are near to the park, not worth the wait and price. I'll recommend to get their drip coffee variations. Baristas are friendly but do tend get engrossed in their own world when making coffee. Only negative is their tiny lobby with limited seating space. Hurts in winter but other times you can just grab one on the go and enjoy it at the park. read more

My new go to coffee brand! The quality of the coffee is good and stable. Very smoothy pairing with Italy oat milk. Their coffee bean won't be too bitter or too sour and I won't have acid reflux after one cup (compared to Starbucks) The location here is very convenient. Sometimes I buy a Angelina Mont Balnc and a blue bootle coffee and enjoy them in the park. What an indulgence! read more

I always try to visit this place with in New York. We started our day here with coffee and a pastry. The place is so bright, clean, and the service is always so wonderful. I will usually order a flavored latte, but here, I'll order just a latte, because it's so delicious on its own. Will be back. read more

I love going to blue bottle coffee and while we have a couple in the Bay Area, I wanted to see if the NY locations were any different. We tried the hojicha, sweet latte and new orleans. All of these were amazing and this location was definitely one of the smaller ones we visited. This is inside a mall so there is limited seating but definitely a great pick me up mid-day. The wait was longer than usual but it seems that it is just because they were really busy. If I were to rank the drinks I would definitely say that their new orleans and sweet latte were my favorite! read more

When in NYC, it's a MUST DO. That's all I need to say.

I love the taste of Blue Bottle Coffee's espresso and thoroughly enjoyed my iced latte here today! This location is right next to Bryant Park and centrally located in Midtown. It was pretty crowded when I was here, but the workers did a great job of moving the line along quickly! The only reason I didn't give this spot 5 stars is the lack of seating. There were only about 6 chairs and it was counter seating (no tables). If you are looking for a place to sit and do work and drink some coffee, this isn't the place. It is good for grab and go, and would be nice in the summer because you can bring your coffee to Bryant Park and sit at one of the tables there! Overall, I wouldn't set out to go here, but if you are passing by, it is a nice place to get come coffee! NOTE: they have paper straws here! If you are not a fan of them, like me, make sure to bring your own reusable straw! read more

I visited this coffee shop while on vacation in NYC. If you are looking for a wonderful latte in a no nonsense setting, this is the place to go. The coffee is so smooth, it does not require much if any added sweetness. The seating inside is limited, however it is located across from Bryant park which has plenty of sitting in a beautiful outdoor setting. read more

I think it's slightly overhyped but it's 5/5 coffee. It is much better than Starbucks for sure. If you believe in premium coffee this is a place to go. It is great for tourists. Tip: Get a photo for your gram. All for the gram. Pro Tip: Try Stumptown Coffee if you are in NYC or Portland. Don't get me wrong this place is the 2nd favorite coffee place out of 948273 coffee places I have been to. Follow me on Instagram @willeatfood read more

Blue Bottle Coffee - Bryant Park - Blue Bottle inside the Edge - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

If you like good coffee, or maybe you consider yourself a bit of an expert, you should try blue bottle coffee, you probably already know about it! It is a coffee snobs paradise as well as a regular coffee drinker's paradise. This is a small and very intimate location of the chain in NY, and it probably is very busy always. There was a line outside and it was a bit crowded inside, but the coffee is so good, and the flavor is always reliably excellent. Without fail, you can always get a good cup of coffee, a great latte, cortado, cold brew, cappucino, or chai lattes and matchas at this chain. The baristas were nice and friendly. And it was very clean and set up to be more distanced and safer than usual. TLDR; delicious coffee or drinks every time, always a pretty and clean environment. read more

We tried coming to this Blue Bottle Coffee near Bryant Park where everywhere online and on the door the hours say closes at 6:00 PM. We show up at 5:15 PM and the employees were already closing up and locked the door. Then completely ignore us when we knock to come in to get coffee. There was no acknowledgement to closing order. I want to pay six dollars for a good latte but you have to get better at customer service and update your hours. Please do better. read more

This is very accessible to bryant park but i found it a little expensive when compared to other coffee shops around! $11 for a cappuccino and almond croissant - probably its because as a Canadian after conversion, it comes to $14 which is a lot and high end coffee shops in Toronto doesn't cost that much Anyways besides the pricing, loved their cappuccino and so is their almond croissant , they do have about 4-5 seating. Also the customer service was good Very attentive and makes the coffee to the perfection especially the art on top of it shows it how much they care about the business and employees. read more

Blue Bottle has struck the perfect balance between hipster and trendy vibes, and is very popular among the silicon valley crowd. You walk in and it's like a show to watch your coffee be made. It's very crowded and even to get a drip coffee, it takes about sixteen years from the time that you order until you actually get it. Ours was taking so long that I was about to approach the baristas and ask for an update, but my friend stopped me and said, "No! You're not supposed to do that here!" I laughed but now, I get it. You're supposed to let them work on their art and drink your coffee when they bestow it upon you. I got a cafe au lait made with their house blend, 3 Africa. It's about twice the price of anywhere else what's the coffee is so good and you can certainly tell the difference between the quality here versus other places nearby. If you're okay to skip the bathroom, wait about 10 minutes for your coffee, and pay over $4 for small cup, treat yourself to Blue Bottle, especially if you're a connoisseur of sorts. read more

Love their coffee. I used to live across from the Ferry Building in SF and there was never a time where there wasn't a line at Blue Bottle. Actually, there was one time nobody was in line - I happened to be passing by with no intention of getting coffee, but when I saw there was no wait, I had to go get a cup! I would never have done that for the Seattle-based coffee companies. Glad it's a lot closer than SF nowadays! read more

I came here on a weekday afternoon for a work coffee meeting. While it is very busy (line was out the door), the baristas work quickly. There is indoor little seating, but it's close enough to Bryant Park that you can enjoy it if the weather is nice. It's a pretty standard coffee shop menu, both in terms of food and drinks, but if you're in the area, it's a great option. read more

Super friendly staff, insanely delicious coffee and located right opposite a cute park. I don't see a reason not to love this place. Their pastries looked delicious, too. Can't wait to try them next time! read more

This is nice and cozy coffee shop located next to 2 large libraries, which is ver convenient for us in the coffee break between study. The shop is kinda small, you may pass by it. It has limited seats which may accommodate up to 8-10 customers but the vibe here is very chilled. We ordered cold brew. We must say the quality of the coffee is good. The staff was very friendly. The only minus point is no restroom here. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee - Bryant Park - Front - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

// Summary A typical Blue Bottle experience, minus one of my favorite things you'd might expect if you went to a Blue Bottle in the Bay Area. // Experience I've been to this Blue Bottle location a couple of times, and it's pretty much the same quality coffee and espresso you'd expect at any Blue Bottle. Here's my one gripe...they don't have the liege waffle. I do unfortunately have to knock it down for that - especially since that was the breakfast I was most looking forward to. // Service My order was taken kindly and the baristas seemed to move things along pretty quickly. // Ambiance It's a narrow space. As with many coffee shops in midtown, this would not be a place where you'd sit down and do some work - but great for a "grab-and-go" for great coffee. // Convenience You may encounter a long line, and there's not much space inside for a line to form - so take that for what it is. It's right across Bryant Park and relatively easy to get to. read more

This is my favorite go to place for coffee. Always deadly delicious coffee. I never got disappointed with blue bottle coffee. I've been try a lot of different locations and I can tell you that this place was smaller than where I've been to. Very clean and cute small place with limited seat. There's no restroom because of private building. If you want use restroom should go near any of public places as Brayan park or Starbucks or Macdonald or etc.. My favorite coffee is latte in here. The barista was amazing great job with my coffee. All the staffs were very accommodating. I will definitely go back to this place again as much as I can while stay in NY. read more

I really like Blue Bottle drinks. I even like the simplicity and minimal design which is the essence of their culture.

I understand this is a chain coffee shop and i went to a New York location, but the coffee was really not that good and it was way too expensive. It took the workers along time to make the drink and when it came out it was not worth the wait read more

Crazy busy all the time, to me this is just over priced coffee and you can get better coffee else where. Not much place to seat inside.
