Super smooth coffee. The place is clean and bright. Lots of good pastries to pair up with your coffee. And a variety of roasted coffee to brew at home. read more

It's bad enough that some places charge extra for a splash of almond milk, but this place charges for a splash of half and half in coffee.

What a great start to the day! I got drip coffee. It was hot, fresh and bold. My girlfriend got a vanilla latte with almond milk. It was super smooth and enjoyable! read more

Stopped by here on my way to work. Solid coffee place plus a TON of pastry options. Bagels stacked to the Nth degree. Coffee is great, and the space inside is really nice. Modern decor, decent amount of seating, and not crazy crowded. Lines get long during morning rush hour, but moves relatively quickly. read more

Stumbled across this place one day in city in between lunch and bway show and SO glad I did. This place is pretty, creatively yummy and those cute boys behind the counter were SOooooo sweet and helpful (I kinda wanted to adopt 'em -- big sista hollllaaaa). I got a matcha green tea latte and it totally hit the spot. Great place to hang, enjoy the ambience and just enjoy your favorite warm beverage or discover some cool new one. read more

I used to frequent this place since my old office was nearby - one of the few things I miss about working in the Times Square area! Located in the midtown Convene conference space, For Five is the change of pace (aka not Starbucks, although I love Starbucks too!) you were looking for for your mid-day coffee fix. They have a selection of salads and sandwiches as well, although I've only had the pastries here - definitely get the Cookie Monster cookie if you're craving something sweet while you're here! I usually got an iced americano, and am a fan of the espresso served here - strong, solid and aromatic. Seating is somewhat limited, although I'd been able to snag a few seats the few times where I've stayed to chat. Worth checking out on your next coffee break! read more

Anyone looking for an alternative to Starbucks in Midtown would do well to check out this small shop on 46th St in the Theatre District. Delicious pastry & coffee and a refreshingly relaxed ambiance with friendly servers can't be beat. A bit pricey, like everything else in NY, this became our go-to morning place on this trip. Highly recommended. read more

Decent coffee but the price made me want to punch the cash register when I saw it. A large coffee was 9$. I know they put an extra shot but I only got a large iced mocha, nothing too special. While the drink itself wasn't bad, the price is the problem. That's why I gave it 3 stars. The taste of the drink didn't really justify its price even if they have their own brand of coffee. Other shops have their own brand and charge 2$ or a $1.50 less than them so read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place out. The coffee was great, I love the layout and decor of the place, there are some tables in the back and counters all along the walls. As great as the coffee is, the staff was another story, it's not that they were bad, but they weren't very friendly or engaging. We were there on a Monday morning during off hours, it wasn't busy. I placed my order, it came out quickly, it was called out but that was about all the words exchanged, no "hi, thanks" nothing, look I get it if it's busy, it was not. read more

We got the Mott Espresso blend and it's super super mediocre. Technically, it's our fault (well, my wife's....) for picking a blend of four beans from all over the place that don't marry together at all. Had to have the "single origin" talk with my wife. So maybe that's a good thing? read more

Great coffee. Great pastries. Cool ambience. I miss the menu they had before covid but any time I get off in the Midtown area, I make it a point to stop here for an iced latte. Service is reasonable. Just depends on who's working really. read more

This was a super cute coffee shop. I stopped in to get a Duchess cookie that they sell there. Oh my goodness it was amazing! I got the caramel and it is highly suggested. The barista was very sweet and they seemed to have a lot of other good food and coffee. read more

I got the matcha latte with macadamia milk - unfortunately the milk itself doesn't taste very strongly of macadamia (whereas almond milk is very strongly almond-y), and the matcha is lacking in concentration (i.e. too much milk which causes the drink to just taste like flavored milk). The staff here were not very friendly or helpful, no one talks to you aside from taking your order - it gives off a very cold feeling (when you're used to coffee shop baristas having an open and welcoming feel / persona). If you take a look at the menu, it's very confusing because a latte is 4.25/4.75 (which is made with espresso) whereas a matcha latte is 4.75+0.50 = 5.25 (which doesn't have espresso but does have matcha). It's a very odd way of pricing - I would have felt better with a more transparent menu that states a matcha latte is 5.25 rather than their weird "matcha shot" +0.50 line item. Either way, I'm sticking with other matcha options in the cafes less than one block away or just making my own from now on. read more

Great experience! The staff was very friendly and personable. The coffee was probably the best I had in NY. I had a lavender cappuccino and it was flawless. The shop is simplistic without the cold and sterile feel. Definitely recommend this shop when you're in the city! read more

I came here last Saturday to grab something hot to drink while waiting for a friend. I was looking at the menu on the board when the staff told me to wait behind the person on the other end as this customer was ordering. There was nobody else waiting in line and I was still looking at the menu. I found that rude. My friend placed her order then took a call as we were waiting for her drink. The staff called out her drink and I acknowledged her while my friend was still on a call. After a few more minutes, the staff shouted at us to say that my friend's drink was ready. I was really annoyed at this point so I told her that my friend is still on the phone. I don't know if she's having a bad day or she just hates women because she's so sweet to other male customers. This was a bad experience and I don't care how nice the place is or how good the drinks are but I'm not coming back here again. read more

4.5! Great coffee shop that my boyfriend and I stumbled into the other day when we needed to just kill some time before meeting up with friends. I got the small latte, which I thought was one of the best I've had. Good flavor, not too expensive, and they put the heart on the top in milk (really what more could you ask for). The best part was that we helped the workers look for an item someone had left behind at the spot where we were seated and they gave us a free pastry to say sorry for interrupting us, so nice, and so delicious! Overall a nice vibe and good music playing, not a ton of seats and unfortunately no bathroom connected but I definitely recommend this place! read more

I wanted to find a local coffee shop around the Theatre District, so I decided to check this place out. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte, was not aware that they default to oat milk, which is great if you're into that but I'm not a fan of oat milk and also the extra $$ added. I had already paid so I didn't bother asking for a change. I couldn't taste a whole lot of the vanilla flavor. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place again but good if you're trying to get a quick cup of high quality coffee. read more

An unexpected oasis in the heart of Midtown. My coworkers always come here when we want a bit of a walk, because "getting coffee" is never really about getting coffee, it's about taking a step off the desk, gossiping, and treating yourself. It's a step up from running across the street to Financier or Starbucks. The space is all blond wood and artsy touches, from the cafeteria-letter menu to the hip wallpaper to the graphic design of the products. Very few seats, though, and most people grab and go. I've now worked my way through almost two punch cards, largely by getting matcha shots. This is the only source of frustration that I have-- if you're with a group and the shop is busy, they will usually put off making it until the end since it's a bit of a hassle to mix. Their matcha is good quality, though expensive at $4, so I would rather get a fancy coffee creation for $5. (Pun intended.) I just tried the "Five" today-- espresso, drip coffee, chocolate, and orange peel. I like the bittersweet flavor, though it's a lot of caffeine for me. Bonus points for occasionally giving out free samples of pastries in the afternoon. read more

This place is for the tourist with their exorbitant prices...robbery!! Haven't been a coffee drinker, but since coming back from a 3 week trip in Italy and France, I'd like to think I've developed a taste for great coffee. This place is not it. Dude with the beard was devoid of any character maybe an off day but drink some of the coffee you serve to put some sort of charisma in you...blah read more

In a town where great coffee places are literally on every block, this one is just barely above average. . It has all of the warmth of a 19th century diphtheria ward. That's not aided by the equally hip duo who work the coffee bar in that us-against-the-public kind of way that they have that barista force field up where they chatter to each other, and open the invisible door long enough to deign to take your order. High ceilings. White, and very sterile, with the usual pseudo-clever hipster homage to the five boroughs, and a huge back wall with faux-intriguing wallpaper of artists art and art in motion, scattered over a two-story high white space. All countered by a smattering of dark wood at the counter and the waste stations. They have four tables and a wall bar in this massive space. Even emptier on a chilly Saturday morning, the tables are dirty and unattended. Man-bun-boi grabs a bottle of windex to clean the hospital walls, but never touches a table. When it got busier they patrons cleaned up to find a place to sit. The lack of tables, and their disregard for them suggests that you move on. That's easy on a bustling spring day, but not when it's 12F outside. Their doors and the main door to the street are not well built for cold days. Every time someone came in, a ride of cold air swept through this over-lit hipster mausoleum. For a place with a paucity of pastries, you would think that the coffee would be better. It's low acid, but it lacks flavor, depth of any character, and it would probably help the guy with the man-bun to use a thermometer so the milk isn't tepid. That it has this kind of ranking with Yelpers maybe means more Manhattan masochists, who want to be caffeinatedly punished frequent this place. Had it not been for the bitter cold, I would have happily gone elsewhere for my morning mud. read more

Was craving some really good coffee and came to the coffee location near Times Square. The coffee shop looked really nice on the inside with decor in every corner and newly renovated machines. This is why they received the 2 stars. I ordered a mocha latte and they were out of the mocha. I then ordered a vanilla latte and they were out of the vanilla syrup. I then asked them what they recommend so they said their Pumpkin Spice Latte so I said why not and thought i'd give it a try. The drink tasted like steamed milk. I had given up and ended up going to a different coffee shop later in the day. Overall the experience was not that great. read more

For Five has everything I'm looking for for a good coffee - spacious seating, yum coffee, and most importantly, nice baristas. I kicked in a bit earlier than their usual open time, yet everyone was ready to serve their great coffee. Their menu was quite extensive - aside from the regular espressos, they also serve signature lattes, and of course, the renown matcha latte. Beans were roasted locally in NYC, with origins around the globe. read more

Stumbled in here when I was looking for a solid coffee place around Times Square. Was impressed by the setup as soon as I stepped inside. The interior was bright, spacious, and immaculately clean. Like how they have counter seating directly opposite of the registers. Menu was posted directly behind the counter area. Ordered a mocha and it was ready in about 2~3 minutes. Mocha was dark and smooth. The chocolate was definitely present but it wasn't overly sweet at all. It was really good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

I go every morning for my espresso. It's Delicious coffee, the pastries and food is fresh and still keep warm. Must try the cookies, they are sinfully delicious. And the staff is a wonderful group of people who speak to you like they've known you forever. In a place where everyone is always on the go, it's nice to walk in into a place where it's warm and welcoming. Plus the smell of caffeine and pastries is divine. read more

I'm constantly complaining about the dearth of solid coffee shops in the Bryant Park area...well, WAS complaining, because For Five is the answer to my bitchy prayers. Roasted in NYC, and just about everything here is an homage to NYC - from the logo reminiscent of old subway tokens, to the wallpaper summing up my years of people watching here. The most important part is that the espresso is good. Real good. Sure, it's fun to see a latte made using spouts coming out of the countertop, but the latte had better kill it - and it did. Baristas are clearly proficient. There's adequate seating and a nice vibe. Whole beans for sale, with many blends to choose from, alongside barista favorites like the Acaia scale & Bodum French press. There's a pretty solid food menu that I'll have to return for. To summarize: For Five is a great way to stay local without sacrificing quality. Glad they're here! read more

Local roastery from my borough gets their own coffee shop in Midtown! That' a win for For Five. Midtown is getting infiltrated with more and more small coffee shops (watch out Starbucks!) and having For Five is a great option to the growing list. The baristas do a wonderful job with their craft. Having a good barista can bring out such finesse in what comes out and the flat white was superb. As a coffee aficionado, I'm always game to trying new coffee and For Five is a welcome addition to the coffee scene in NYC. The decor is cool, modern with the monochromatic black and white and wall with the dice. There's plenty of space in the back to hang out too if you want to bring a group of friends or your laptop to do some work. Happy drinking and remember: Don't deny, satisfy! read more

Hold up, can we talk about the domino wall paper? Super cute! The little nook/den in the back is perfect for intimate meetings, catching up with friends, and work. The cafe is spacious but with very limited seating. It's more of a grab & go-type place than a sit-in. That aside, the latte pouring here is superb and yes, there are no sweet matcha lattes here (*victory dance*)! My newfound love in midtown. read more

Sure when you are in Manhattan you can get coffee at Starbucks like, on virtually every other block. However there are times you want something a bit less crazed and more sophisticated feeling. On a recent weekend trip into the city, For Five Coffee Roasters was the place I went to for this experience. Set inside a larger, modern looking building, this space is very bright and elegant looking. The large glass in front lets light pour in and the seating is very comfortable with a series of tables and seats set up in a small area towards the back where you will even find some power plugs to charge up your phone. The staff was very nice when I asked them questions. I bought a coffee (served in a mug when you eat in) and a yogurt with fruit. The yogurt was great, but there were too many sweet elements in it (such as raisins and other dried fruit) for my taste. I would have liked more yogurt and less of the fruit, but that may just be my personal taste. The coffee was very good and full of flavor. In addition to pastries, coffee and tea, For Five also sells coffee beans, chai mixes and other food items to bring the experience of the place home. I enjoyed my visit to For Five Coffee Roasters and look forward to going back. read more
