A cool little vibe for a coffee shop. Was impressed with the coffee as well as the size of the breakfast options. The breakfast burrito was tasty and filling. For coffee, I ordered "The Five" which was a nice change up for me. It had cold brew, dark chocolate and a few other things that I can't fully remember. It was supposed to be garnished with an orange peel according to the sign in the store, but did not find one in my drink. Regardless, both coffees were still enjoyable! read more

I stopped in around 6 p.m. and asked what specialty coffees were available. From the start, the employee seemed bothered by my questions. He suggested the pumpkin spice latte, but his answers were very short and his overall demeanor was unwelcoming. I decided to order the pumpkin spice latte, but unfortunately it tasted burnt, though it was pretty. That, combined with the poor customer service, made for a disappointing experience. The one positive is that the shop appeared very clean, especially considering its busy location near Times Square. Unfortunately, the service and coffee quality mean I won't be returning. read more

Ever since Simon Sips closed, I've been coming here on and off. And honestly...this place sucks. The price you pay NEVER matches the menu price that is shown. I think they add a service fee of some kind. Also...the black guy stays mean mugging for no apparent reason. Take a chill pill dawg. Or get a new job. read more

I stopped by For Five Coffee and the space is very cute and aesthetic. It was not busy when I went, and service was quick. I ordered a latte, but it just was not for me. I think it came down to the bean or roast not matching my taste. Nice spot to sit, just not my favorite coffee so far. read more

Honestly had good coffee, i'd rate it a 7/10, but the customer service of their barista working 6/26 at 12:15 was terrible. Very rude to my husband and I, and the people around us. He had a vape out and when a customer asked if a drink was theirs, he just did a finger wag in their face. read more

Paid over $8 (excluding tip) for a small chai with regular milk, which I know this is New York but it just felt too steep for me. Chai was fine but absolutely nothing to write home about. They also don't have a bathroom which is annoying. read more

What a great coffee shop this is. The baristas are very nice, the music played here is great and it is a spacious and clean shop. They have places to sit to enjoy your coffee and pastries. I did not have any pastries but I had a cappuccino which was good. If I find myself in the area again I would go back and try out other of their coffee drinks. read more

Had one of their speciality iced lattes with maple syrup that was strong and delicious, not overly sweet. Almond crossaint was good!

Best coffee in midtown. Simple. Don't need to go anywhere else. Cost is on par with other shops in the area, and they have delicious cookies. Service is quick and the staff are always friendly. They have 4-6 tables in the back for seating and a few bar top chairs. I will keep coming back read more

Average coffee spot in Times Square. Great seating, no bathroom, fun story. Founded in 2010 in Queens, New York, For Five Coffee is a micro-roasting facility with two founders.

It maintains a global network that ensures responsible health, safety, environmental, and ethical business practices, with many products holding certifications from reputable bodies like QAI, Fair Trade USA, and the Rainforest Alliance.

I first have to wonder what is wrong with the people who posted one star reviews. The experience that they describe is not this place. This place is very trendy with great staff.

They overcharged me significantly and never returned my email or call. They charged nearly $10 for water that I never received, and they overcharged me for coffee I didn't even order. There are better places across the street in Port Washington. read more

I swear if you told me someone was under the counter holding these employees at gunpoint I'd believe you. It's almost comical how grumpy they are. Coffee was just okay, ambiance is cold and boring. Won't be back on purpose but good in a pinch. read more

Well, ya know, I don't like Times Square, especially not on a rainy day, but if you're pulling in bank to pay the rent for your coffee shop that's gotta tell you something. I came in today because I won a giveaway from the gram, i of course couldn't get to one of the other locations that serve some awesome looking 'foodular' items, so I opted for Times Square which is a 20 minute walk from work if you're a long legged type of fatty like me who always has the right of way and a stone cold, man on a gimme coffee mission, kind of exterior... I digress. Arriving promptly 19 minutes after I ventured out between rain bursts for my "2 drinks, 2 cookies, & 2 pastries instead of 2 meals" (lucky me) I asked for the man in charge, announced my presence and waited for the red carpet and trumpets! Instead I ordered the two drinks and picked out two cookies and waited patiently. It was what it was... pretty busy, everyone seemingly chill and satisfied; good sign for ForFive. I got: 1. The matcha late w/ lavender simple syrup - pretty good 2. The Five coffee espresso drink thing - not bad 3. S'mores cookie 4. Fruity pebbles cookie You do the math, I'll do the stomachache read more

No wonder it was completely empty inside. The young lady behind the counter seemed annoyed that I was there and was very stand offish. I ordered a cortado with oat milk and an almond croissant as well. I got it warmed up. The cortado seemed like a 1/4 of what it should be and the almond croissant was stale and the filling was bland but overly sweetened. The damage was 17$. I could not believe it. 6.25- cortado 6- almond croissant. Approx 13.34$ which means a little more than 3$ for warming a croissant and a splash of oat milk for a small cortado. I understand it's time square but I'll pass! read more

The iced chai and iced lavender latte were both great! Quality was awesome! Customer service was an opportunity. One person working and she didn't seem like she wanted to be there.

I'm familiar with this establishment and over the years they've opened even more locations. My preferred location is the one in Manhasset in Long Island, but this review is for the one in the Manhattan's theater district. I tend to avoid this location for a number of reasons, but it's conveniently located near my job. The vibe is mot the same as the others, which are warm and inviting. This location has a cold feel, is nearly always out of products, the staff tends to be extremely lazy and unfriendly as if they're doing you a favor, and it's always cold inside whether it's winter or summer. I really think whoever does the hiring should make sure that they train their staff properly on how to interact with customers who pay a premium for coffee and cookies. On a positive note, the coffee really is good and their cookies are soft and delicious (albeit expensive!). Yesterday the rainbow cookie I bought was fresh out of the overnight and smelled and tasted amazing, was soft and goey, exactly how it should be. read more

Maybe it's just me, but NYC coffee shops hit differently because of their sound systems lol. Clear quality and here I was vibin' to Childish Gambino's "Feels Like Summer" with that extra reverb, phew~~~ Anyway, out of all of the coffee shops that I have bookmarked in the city (tourist here), I sought out this one particularly because of the cookies and, boy, you *have* to get the caramel cinnamon apple one if you're a huge fan of Dutch apple pies like I am. It's pretty much a pocket-sized version of it. Amazing crispy streusel topping on top. Probably a top 5 based on all of the cookies that I've ever had lol. As for the coffee here, the pour over is super smooth. Not much bitterness at all. One of the better pour overs that I've had for sure. The reason why I docked a star is because of the service. Cold demeanor especially from the cashier man who wanted to rush my order (he quickly said a grand total cost even though I was still looking at the cookie display). There was no one behind me waiting to order and the place wasn't busy. The barista who handed my drink didn't seem friendly either. Overall, I'd say that if you're in the area (and you don't mind meh service) this coffee shop is worth checking out (you have to grab a cookie if you do)! read more

Went into a completely empty store, the employee who was leaning over the counter couldn't be bothered to even look up to take our order. When he finally did he had a horrible attitude. Not only was the service terrible the drink was way overpriced ($10 for a small iced latte?) Never going back and I suggest you avoid as well. read more

I love this place! My friends and I all ordered different lattes, and one of my friends even said her iced vanilla latte was the best she's ever had. She asked for oat milk and normally, at most coffee shops, the oat milk dilutes the coffee and makes it not as milky. However, her iced vanilla latte was super creamy and had a really nice vanilla flavor. I ordered a macadamia milk matcha latte, and it was delicious! The matcha flavor was really strong, and it was also slightly sweet too. I would come again! Like the other reviews say, coffee is pretty expensive but I don't mind at all. read more

I can't understand the rave reviews. Mediocre coffee at best. Walked here bc I'm always on the hunt for great coffee places. I'd already had Blue Bottle twice during my time in NYC and this place was a local roaster with rave reviews. Came in on a Tuesday morning, with only 3 ppl in line ahead of me. Ordered the Gotham mocha with oat milk extra hot. Horrible Lukewarm drink with no hint of mocha! Also delivered to me with spillage over the counter. Garbage customer service and garbage coffee. I don't say this lightly--you are better off at Starbucks! read more

I came on a weekday afternoon. Vibe: the inside is bright and spacious, which gave me a good mood. There're some seats inside and only 2-3 customers at the time I visited. I stayed there for about 30mins and it's been quiet inside the store. I would say this is a good place to read/take a short break from work when you're nearby on a weekday afternoon. Coffee: I ordered a hot flat white and a chocolate croissant. Both are ok, the flat white lacks some coffee flavor. Would visit again if I'm nearby and craving for a cup of coffee. read more

Tried their matcha and it is strong but still smooth. While the drink is good, I'm a bit disappointed in everything else. None of the seating tables were clean (I wiped a table myself and there was no other customers), they have signs for wifi but the router was off so I had to use hotspot, and the staff was generally rude and begrudgingly sharing information. I wouldn't come back because there are a plethora of cafes in NYC and this one just does not stand out. Also no bathrooms at this spot read more

This coffee place is super cute and has the best cookies! The chocolate chip was my favorite because I love the classics, but it was super decadent and sweet, so sharing just one between 2 people would be enough for me! In terms of the coffees, their Freddo cappucino is a must try since it's soo unique and delicious. - Navya J @nyconthetable read more

What we ordered: Iced Latte, Pour Over, Almond Croissant, Chocolate Chip Muffin The pastries were fine, nothing to write home about. The coffee: yikes. The latte had bitter notes and would not have been drinkable if not for the milk. But the latte was nothing compared to the pour over. When we asked for the pour over, the barista told us it would take 10 minutes to prepare. TEN MINUTES. When he said this, we honestly thought it was so we wouldn't keep asking when it was going to be ready. So we went with it. But he actually took 10 minutes to prepare the coffee. We watched the barista make the coffee and were horrified to see it just sit there and drip for 10 minutes while he prepared other orders. By the time the pour over was ready, we had eaten the pastries and almost finished the latte. The coffee was absolutely horrid. Extremely bitter, over extracted, no care put into it at all. On our way out, we saw a sign that said the coffee was roasted locally. It got us thinking how good beans and a good roast mean nothing when the coffee prep is subpar. Will not be visiting again. What a shame. read more

This is a quaint shop with some great food options inside and huge fresh-baked cookies for sale. I walked past while heading to an appointment in the diamond district and needed my fix. I ordered my usual, a soy latte and found it to be flavorful and delicious. I sat inside for a while and asked about the cookies, to-go salads and overnight oats. The to-go items looked very appetizing and the cobb salad was large with tons of fresh items inside. Very good quality. The cookies are huge and about $6 a cookie with tons of yummy out of this world flavors that are different. Comfy chairs and tables in the back for working or hanging out and just steps from Times Square. read more

I was looking for a place to get work done in this area and am so happy I stumbled upon this coffee shop! It is very modern and clean on the inside. They have a great variety of coffee/espresso drinks and teas! I got an iced latte. The service was efficient and the taste was great. I also thought it was a bit cheaper than other craft coffee spots in the area. I also appreciated the good amount of seating. It was a good spot to pause in the midst of Times Square craziness. I definitely want to come back and try their matcha! read more
