    New smaller location. Has delicious pour overs ($15+) including a Swiss water decaf pour over which is hard to find! Favorite cafe to hang out in the hood.

    Love this chic modern coffee shop! Super pretty and I love the deconstructed latte...super cool!

    Delicious Colombian pour over coffee!
    Edward K.

    Every time I was at another coffee shop in the suburbs, someone would tell me that I have to try Coffee Project. I was in the city early for a concert and figured it was time to give it a shot! Basically designed with me in mind, modern and bright and laser focused on the coffee experience! The woman working behind the counter was pleasant and knowledgeable about coffee. Another plus, she didn't look to upsell to the most expensive option. My biggest requirement for a serious coffee shop is a nice selection of pour over coffee. They certainly deliver. I went with the Colombian Julio Cesar Madrid Logan Culturing Caturra and it was delicious! Served at optimal temperature, the coffee was smooth with well rounded flavor. I will certainly return to Coffee Project! Almost forgot to mention, the seating was comfortable and the music was pleasant!

    Really great pour over selection in hell's kitchen! Not many places can match their selection. I was a big fan of their Janson lot 950 gesha. They also price their coffee reasonably compared to other shops. Alexa their barista provided great service. Ambiance is more fast casual less slow bar but they're more than willing to let you stay should you want to. Would recommend

    Dry ass scone
    Harry R.

    So I asked if the scone was good. "Yes it's good." Ok I'll take the scone. They heat it up. I take a bite. I can only think that the Sahara Desert feels like what this scone tastes like. "Dry" is such a limited word for the consistency of this scone. I ask for butter. "We don't have butter." But you have a kitchen, with cooks and other entrees. Don't they use butter for those? Jam? "We don't have jam." Really? I bet there's jam here somewhere. Yes I'm old. Yes I long for a coffee shop counter that gave you generous helpings of butter pats and jam pats. Yes I'm cranky and tired of robotic, unsmiling people in horrific, futuristic "coffee projects". I don't want a coffee project. I just want coffee and a scone that doesn't taste like sandpaper and a pat of butter. I'll settle for margarine.

    Coffee project has a lot of tasty drink and food options, I haven't been disappointed with anything I've ordered yet! The ambiance of Coffee Project is very cute and trendy. There is usually a line around busy hours and you may need to wait for a seat.

    Big fan of this coffee shop. It's located around the corner of 9th ave and has a neat vibe to it. Like every coffee shop it has the needed bathroom (that is well maintained), wifi (not sure if they leave it on during weekends but both the times I visited were on weekday mornings), and solid coffee. They rotate between a few seasonal drinks which I always appreciate. I tried the pandan latte and was honestly a big fan. It was not too sweet and the pandan flavor complements the coffee nicely. The service is quite nice and they do a good job maintaining the cleanliness of the store. They also have a kitchen and a few pastries. I tried the blueberry muffin and it was delightful. The staff will also warm up pastries for you if requested. When you walk inside they have a few tables on the right where you can use laptops and work, and on the inside there are 3-4 tables for small groups that the store will request you avoid using laptops on. Big fan and if there is seating it is a decent place for a work from home day at a cafe.

    Their latte is super smooth and rich! Its latte art is also beautifully done!

    Love their coffee! I had a latte this time and everything is perfect! Barista is very professional and so friendly. However, the cafe is not that spacious ( nice location though!) The number of the seats is limited. Not the place for a large group. This cafe is very cozy and the place for real coffee lovers I want to try their pour over next time.

    Blueberry Cheesecake Pastry

    Cute little coffee shop tucked away. It's not very noticeable but glad I discovered it. Walking in, it's easy to order at the counter - depends when you go it can get pretty busy. There's definitely a fair share of tables inside the place and lighting is really comfortable. This coffee place doesn't have loud music playing at others and it makes it easy to have conversations. The coffee and food were decent - classic NYC prices but definitely a comfortable place to go!

    I am not easily impressed by coffee shops as I have an extensive setup at home. Coffee project thoroughly impressed me. My flat white was complex in flavor and that's hard to do with espresso and milk, let alone in a cafe setting. Their dial in was legit. The baristas were attentive and friendly. Great place!

    I felt welcomed by the barista with red hair--such a warm and friendly vibe. The space is on the smaller side, but the elevated interior design makes it cozy and stylish. Pandan Latte ($7.50) + Oat Milk ($1): Hands down, the best pandan latte I've ever had. Most pandan coffees I've tried are either too sweet or too subtle, but this one hit the perfect level of sweetness. The balance of coffee, milk, and pandan flavor was spot-on, with an impeccable ratio. Love, love, love! Highly recommend.

    Came here to try to work a bit in the afternoon. There are limited tables that allow laptops inside, but thankfully someone left pretty quickly. The person working the counter also said that around that time, 1pm ish, the tables come and go very fast, so if you wait a little you'll probably get a table soon. The tables outside were mostly free, though, and all of them had outlets nearby. Tables are quite small and others are working and taking calls and having conversations and outlets are shared between tables, so it can be quite loud and there's a chance there isn't a free outlet. I didn't see what it was like at the outdoor tables, but I assume roughly the same thing, plus no AC :') The pandan coffee was pretty tasty and kept me going through the afternoon, so no complaints there! It also wasn't too sweet; would order again. They also have a nice selection of food and pastries and other interesting coffee drinks. Overall would definitely stop by again if I needed a cafe in the area to work at, but maybe I'd try one of the outdoor tables if I had a ton of meetings.

    Iced Chai and Latte

    Coffee Project has such a classy vibe to the store, while entering you see an organized space with tables and a seating area. There was also this beautiful installation that I saw when I looked up. This is a super cute cafe to loiter with friends or to get work done (limited tables for computers). They served typical cafe drinks that were averagely priced. I got a chai latte with oatmilk and it was a little sweeter than expected but was still good. The iced latte was super good and refreshing.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

The atmosphere is super sweet and cozy. The restaurant was empty when we first walked in, but the second we sat down, it completely packed up!

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating.

It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.
