Zamnnnnnnn Five Stars for Five Coffee Roasters because I loved it. While I was visiting NYC and putting on my tourist hat, I was in dire need of coffee after running around Times Square trying to snag RUSH tickets for a broadway show. I wasn't in the mood for a small bite at the time but they have plenty of baked goods to enjoy and I appreciatted their menu. The decor was very welcoming and I loved the high ceilings. For those of us who enjoy studying/working out of coffee shops they had three work tables in the very back. The rest of the seating is bar seating against the walls except for a two person table underneath their "mantra wall". My iced latte was delicious and what I enjoyed was that it wasn't sweet and very well balanced. The coffee they source is very high quality and I didn't feel a sugar crash with their in-house syrup. Solid spot if you're in the area and you have to check it out. Went on a Saturday and they do close earlier just a heads up. read more

Such a disappointing experience here... I wish we walked away when we got charged almost $20 for two lattes. When we were there, the huge menu clearly says $5.25 for a large and even with the extra shot of espresso in one of the lattes, the total should not be $20... Unfortunately, I was too quick to tap and pay, only realizing a second later that the total didn't add up. When we questioned the total and suggested that the staff rang us up wrong, he casually said that their prices have been changed but not yet reflected on their menu. Coffee was average and if anything the one with the extra shot tasted pretty much the same as the one without. Not sure if they finally updated the menu to reflect their increased prices, but it's pretty ridiculous not to have updated prices displayed or even bother mentioning the increase. read more

// Summary Nothing particularly special about their drinks, and had a bit of a hiccup in my only experience there as they didn't open on time. // Experience I came right around the time they were supposed to open, but the doors were locked. I saw some action in the inside as they seemed to be getting ready, but they probably opened about 9-10 minutes after they were supposed to be open. Several people who walked by waited for like 2 minutes before they decided to try out another place or something. I wasn't in a particular rush, so I got an americano and thought it was fine. There wasn't anything particularly special about it. // Service As I was the first guy there, my drink came out relatively quickly. So while it was open, I didn't have any problem. // Ambiance Seems like a cool space with bright lighting and a decent amount of space, but doesn't seem to be the type of place you can hang around for long, unless you're lucky to get one of the tables towards the back. They do have some bar seating away from the service counter. // Convenience Not too far away from Bryant Park, so it should be a decent place. read more

Walked in to get an iced latte, walked out $10 poorer.. Coffee is good, but way overpriced.

Got a vanilla iced latte and it was delicious! A bit expensive but then again it's in Times Square. Service was fast and shop was clean. There was also a fair amount of seating available. read more

Came by for some coffee and saw their cookies display and decided to grab one too. Their coffee is delicious and they have a lot of special flavors cookies. I tried the fruity pebbles flavor and it was surprisingly not too sweet. Loved it and would come back to try out other flavors! read more

I've been to For Five's Long Island location several times, and was excited to try their midtown location. There's very few seating (a few tables and a couple high-tops), and it gets packed during lunchtime, so keep that in mind if you're planning to meet someone at this spot. There's some outlets, a few, but they're there. The coffee snob in me deems the coffee to be excellent, and they have all the milks available (almond, oat, macadamia), which they'll steam at no extra charge. Pricing is at par with surrounding cafes, maybe .50 more, no biggie. So why the three stars? I got the grilled chicken wrap as well, which is premade in the display by the door. The ingredients aren't listed up there, and not only was the sandwich overly drenched in sauce, but also it turned out to have lots of bacon. I'm surprised this isn't included in the display name, because what if someone buys the $10 sandwich and can't eat it? I went to tell the manager, and he couldn't seem to care less. His demeanor was disappointing, especially because I think these types of dietary needs should be acknowledged. He actually tried to defend himself by taking out a menu with the ingredients, which was hidden behind the counter underneath other papers and written in the tiniest print. No customer can see this where you are keeping it! Anyway, he and the rest of the staff seemed to be pretty dismissive the entire time I was there, but the coffee and the atmosphere are great. read more

I really looked forward to visiting and trying their coffee. Unfortunately came during a morning when the only staff on site was quite rude and negligent, on the phone the entire time while taking orders and making lattes. Not much attention to detail while making espresso or steaming the milk. My milk was definitely too hot and everything from the foam to the overall texture of the latte was subpar. More like something I'd whip together at home. It's a pity because this seems like a place that puts a lot of care and pride into the roasting of their beans but the last half of execution in the storefront and presentation to customers left a mediocre impression. As for study space, this would have been a great location, but they don't have bathrooms, and I was quite surprised at how messy the tables were. There were crumbs and stains everywhere and it was still early. Considering there wasn't anyone in when I got there, and the person manning the front was just chatting on the phone, I'd expect the seating area and tables to be a bit cleaner. In terms of beverages, knowing their specialty is the coffee, I probably should have ordered a cold brew or pour over. But at that moment I just wanted a matcha latte, so that I ordered. To be honest, it is quite overpriced for an oatley matcha latte. There are quite a few spots in Manhattan that use premium matcha and house made nut milks for a truly premium latte at ~$6. So I definitely recommend here for coffee, but not necessarily lattes. I am not deducting a star for that though since its a preference and that's what I happened to order. Still excited to try their beans. The beans smelled great even through my mask. 4 stars taking into account the overall experience, cleanliness, etc. I'll definitely try to come back to try one of their Ethiopian varieties and maybe get a bag of beans to go. Will update my review then... read more

Interior: Trendy, modern, minimalistic Service: Efficient and quick Price: standard NYC coffee shop price Workspace: Nope Seating: Yep, but limited Reward system: punch card (buy 8 drinks and next one is free) Coffee: good taste - no real complaints Oddity: I asked for skim milk in my ice coffee and the barista just diluted whole milk with water - oh okay ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Strolled through Times Square and arrived here on a Monday morning and it was not too busy. Ordered the hot latte with whole milk and I was very good. Although I don't have a super refined palate for quality coffee, it is definitely better than most coffee shops I've been to. They also have really epic-looking cookies! Too bad I didn't pick one up since I don't have a massive a sweet tooth. My friend highly recommends them though and apparently that's what they're known for too! Will pick one up next time-- I've been eyeing those rainbow ones read more

I come here every Friday as a treat Their coffee is so good and they make it so well! I always like to add cinnamon to my lattes and most places just throw it on top as an afterthought but this place incorporates it into the drink so my latte ends up tasting like a warm hug in the winter haha. I highly recommend! read more

The place is so cute. It is one of those coffee shop that looks more refined, and had put some thoughts on the interiors. They have high ceilings and a pleasant environment. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk, and it came out tasting really good! They also have a cute pastry corner with different kinds of cookies that looks super inviting. Their menu contains more coffee options than the ordinary menu, drinks such as the Five/ Freddo/ etc. It is a cute place that i will definitely keep visiting. read more

Hours on the window say open till 4pm, I arrived at 3:30 and it was already closed. I only wanted to purchase a bag of coffee beans, and the person inside working was super rude and wouldn't even acknowledge me. If you're going to state you're open until 4pm, be open until 4pm. And certainly don't be rude about it either... read more

My company just moved offices and I'm glad that For Five is nearby, because there aren't many good coffee options in the area. Regular drip is great and I had a decent chai tea latte. Almond croissant was also pretty good. Only thing I wasn't into was a salad from the cold case; the dressing was odd. Otherwise no complaints. Very limited seating so you'd best take it to go. Definitely will try the cold brew soon, and those cookies! read more

The service. I get that it's supposed to appear like a hip indie coffee joint but one employee was so incredibly rude every time I was there. Not just to me but others. She made a ton of faces while people ordered like she legitimately couldn't stand talking to a single person and heaven forbid if you have to repeat yourself. The food was fine, coffee was good and the rest of the staff was fine but the one girl I saw there was so rude that it ruined my entire experience of this place and I honestly wouldn't recommend it just based on that. You don't need to be excited, you just don't need to be rude to everybody and have an attitude the whole time. That's a low bar and she missed it. read more

Pretty good option in an otherwise crazy and commercial area. I get annoyed when I'm charged for something that I didn't order, and it was too late for me to get the cost remedied by the time I noticed it. However, the barista was really nice and accommodating to a fellow customer while I was waiting for my drinks, and I found the cinnamon and apple danish nice without being too sweet. My flat white was standard and well done. Lofty ceilings. Handful of high top and regular tables to hang out a while. read more

This is a great little coffee/pastry shop that I didn't know about until I saw their yummy posts on social media. Their filled cookies are THE BEST! Better than most bakery delights. The cafe is very modern and their baristas are super nice, posh and welcoming. It feels like a modern cafe with a homemade atmosphere. Definitely a pricey spot since it's located in the theater district but worth the splurge. read more

The barista greeted us upon walking in and was very friendly. I ordered a vanilla iced latte and it was delicious. My friend ordered a hot coffee and liked that as well. If I lived in NY I would definitely be a regular here. The coffee is very fresh and smooth tasting, no bitterness at all. read more

It's me. It's not you. Everything in NYC is small and snug and I'm just not a fan of that aspect. I say that to say this coffee spot was packed, probably because the drinks were great. There were about 4 small tables smushed together and we grabbed one by sheer luck. Unfortunately, I had to go to the bathroom and they didn't have one. Curious. How do the staff go while they are at work. Anyway, we had to leave our table so I could go find a bathroom which was a first world problem but still sucked. My latte was delicious. Just as creamy, hot and caffeinated as I'd expect. Even though it was crowded and busy, fast-paced, my drink was made with care which I appreciate. Don't go on a weekend if you expect to sit, relax and chat. Oh wait, I was there on a Tuesday at 2pm. Nevermind, it's probably always that busy! read more

Wow, I am a big fan! I really, really wish that my office was just a bit closer to this café! To start off, this place has a very modern and inviting décor, love it! There is a big display of pastries upon arrival, how welcoming! What makes it even better is that it is locally roasted in New York City. At any new coffee shops that I try, I go for cold brews and americanos. Both are solid choices are here! I drink all my coffee black and without any sugar or dairy. I really enjoyed the flavor of the coffee here. It is really good quality. The back seating area of café is an ideal place to chill out for a coffee break. I do look forward to come back here some time when I am not in a rush to go back to my office and in my casual summer clothes! read more

One of this first things I do in any city is find a good cup of coffee. I got myself a pour over the first time I came. Twas excellent. Second visit got a drip. Both were some of the best cups of coffee I've had in awhile read more

I came because I wanted to try one of their famous cookies. I asked the guy at the register if they still had the blue cookies and he said they never had blue cookies. So I ordered a red velvet cookie. It's definitely big, and very buttery. But red velvet it is not. It just tasted like a sugar cookie, with red food coloring. But it did have the cream cheese filling which was a tad tangy and more sweet. I checked photos on yelp later, and they did indeed have blue cookies. Disappointed with my experience here. read more

Great place to hang out with friends if you need a break from the city or to come and work or just read a book. They have a rather extensive menu of drinks and can make whatever coffee drink you want into matcha. My iced matcha green latte was refreshing and satisfying, and most importantly, not sweet - they whisked the matcha straight from a bowl of powder in front of us. Its modern interiors and fun wallpaper gives this coffee shop a cool vibe that I can jam to. No restrooms though:( read more

On our first visit, we had a matcha latte and a hot chocolate. We came back and had a cappuccino and mocha. I'm a big fan of their matcha latte. The mocha was good too but I prefer the matcha latte. The place has high top table seating (like 4-5 tables) and a back area with maybe seating for up to 10. The coffee bar runs almost the length of the cafe. Staff: I guess it depends on when you go. Our first visit had 2 baristas working and you could totally tell that one of them was not in the mood to be at work. She didn't smile once and when people asked her questions, although she was helpful, she seemed very unhappy to be there. Location: A couple of high top tables with some bench seating in the back of the cafe. I guess it could be a place to work or study if you can grab a seat in the back. Coffee: Hubs thought the cappuccino was okay; not one of his favorites but okay. Again, I was a big fan of the matcha latte and would definitely come here again just for that. read more

Cookies are mediocre / average and way overpriced at $6.50 - insane. Matcha and coffee were the same - nothing exceptional and priced too high. Won't go back. If the cookie was $4 and the match latte $5 I'd probably give it 3 stars for being average but it gets 2 stars because of the high prices. read more

I'm a sucker for cute and relaxing coffee shops. This particular place brought me the friendliest and reliable customer service. The baristas here treat you so kind and insures you get your caffine fix. The iced latte was really good and hit the spot. They roast their coffee really strong and bold and a tad robust, so it hits you with a subtle "good morning, time start to start your day". I will be coming back to try more. read more

I got the iced matcha latte from For Five Coffee and it was delicious. It wasnt too sweet so I added some sugar but it was delicious on it's own. Not pictured was the croissant which was extremely disappointing. It was not flakey and buttery, rather hard as a rock and a bit burnt. I was already on the train which was nearby or else I would have returned it right away. It was also about $5 so I was disappointed I wasted my money on such a sad excuse for a croissant. read more

Cute coffee shop with great coffee! This coffee shop actually doesn't feel like NYC; it feels like Seattle (where I'm originally from). It's pretty quiet and mellow inside with old jazz music playing, and there wasn't too much of a line even though I visited in the morning. The baristas are super friendly too (also probably why it feels more like Seattle haha). It's definitely more of a take-out-and-go kind of coffee shop, but they have seating available for about 10-15 people. It's really clean and bright here; I can see myself working or reading here. The coffee tastes really good, but their baked goods selection is good too. They have pastries (croissants, muffins...) and cookies (fruity pebble cookies, rainbow cookies, red velvet cookies...). I didn't get a chance to explore the bakery options, but everything looked really tasty. read more

Not loving For Five. Dull, mild yucky roast. And they use cheap alternative milks like Pacific. A nice selection of cookies and bakery, though. If you're not too picky about your espresso it's ok in a pinch. read more

For Five Coffee Roasters - Oat Milk Latte - Not a great roast. Wish it was Oatly Oat Milk. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - New York, New York

I've been here probably 50 times. This is by far one of my favorite places to get an espresso in the area (they also have a full menu of coffee drinks). The espresso comes out at the right temperature (somewhere between warm and hot, but never actually hot) Also, the espresso is never bitter. It is strong in flavor, but has a smooth finish. The staff is very efficient and often friendly. They also have some light sandwiches and salads as well as some pastries. They do have some really awesome cookies, too. There is some seating, but I would not expect to come in with 10 co-workers and expect to find a place to post up. read more

so many coffee shops to choose from...this is what the concierge at our hotel recommended. if you want a strong cup of coffee...you'll get it here... line moved fairly fast... i was a bit confused because it looked like there were 2 different lines ...but i wasn't sure. no place to stay and sit... so i went for a little walk then headed back to the hotel to finish up my coffee... read more
