Forever Coffee - Grabbing a coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

The food is good and the coffee is good but the service is terrible. Takes the staff forever to make the drinks and to get the food out. It seems apparent that the owner/manager doesn't care enough about the business, because the barista needs help. They are swamped and all by themselves and getting bombarded with online orders while also fulfilling in person orders. They need to hire another barista so that one is making coffee and the other is taking orders and doing food expo. It's embarrassing. read more

My first time here and it was delicious. Cold brew and a chocolate chip cookie....could not have been happier. I will definitely be back to try their bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll! So happy they are in the neighborhood! read more

Good coffee, good service, a nice asset for our neighborhood. Thank you for reconsidering your sidewalk dining area! I will be sure to visit soon. read more

Forever Coffee - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Such a cool little coffee shop in Washington Heights. There isn't a ton of room here so get here early if you are trying to do work. They do have good wifi so that is always a plus. It is also pretty quiet so it is easy to concentrate in here. Some coffee shops are so loud and bustling it is hard to do any work. Not here. There is also a bathroom in the back that needs a good cleaning honestly. It does the job though. On top of the different coffee and tea they have some pastries. I don't think they make them on site but they were pretty serviceable. I personally would come back to do work. The cafe has the full package and I will be back! read more

Bagel sandwiches are tasty and filling but by no means the best in the city. The service is friendly but a bit slow, at least the one time we went. Our drinks were also good but not exceptional. The space is small and a bit disorganized. Our almond croissant was one of the worst I've had (over baked, deflated, not enough almond paste, etc). This place definitely gets the job done but there are better options, especially for pastries or ambiance. read more

Got the seasonal salted maple caramel latte. The flavor combination was pretty good, but the coffee seemed kinda weak and needed either some more syrup or espresso. Partner got the matcha and liked it. read more

I'm all about supporting neighborhood spots & small businesses, but the service here really needs work! The coffee is great and the staff is incredibly nice & wants to help but every time we have ordered food for pick-up, we are waiting 30+ minutes after the time the confirmed pick-up time. It would even be okay if when placing an order it allotted for more time, but to say your order will be ready at 11:30 and it's not being handed to you until 12:13 is unacceptable. Hope this place can get it sorted out soon because everything is really good but you pay for service & this just isn't cutting it. read more

Fast courteous service and fantastic breakfast foods. Highly recommended. Would definitely do this again.

Best coffee and breakfast in town! Latte and egg/cheese on a baguette! Recommend for any day of the week!enjoy! read more

Forever Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Response to the owner: That is absolutely not true. The laptop is ruined. Yes a company laptop - but I pay the consequences. To be honest, I was being very generous initially when the barista explained how it happened which really put the blame on the manager. I thought I would allow the barista to share the incident himself and given that the owner knows me and he really is the one who owed me an apology but now I see that was a mistake on my part. Your barista offered to give me a microphone and speakers - no that is not offering to fix my laptop (I cannot travel with those and my company is based in Switzerland). He also offered to take me out to dinner. (Im pretty sure that is the last thing I'd want to do). No, a free coffee won't cut it. I was made aware that the managers and owner knew of the incident - I expected at the very least an apology - at the very least. Now suddenly because I write a Yelp review, I receive a response. No. I used to encourage people to go there and I used to buy expensive coffee drinks despite not even liking the coffee (I don't know anyone who likes the coffee). I came instead for the ambience which isn't pleasant for me anymore. read more

Great place to have a great cup of joe. And the staff has always been great. And the in believe in supporting small business.

Wonderful every time! I got a seasonal latte and they sure know how to make their coffee. Also the barista's are lovely!

Best coffee in Upper Manhatan. They fine tuned every morning grinder settings with Espresso Machne making a perfect extraction everytime.

The draw backs are no wifi, and the drip tasted watered down. The food was fabulous extra points for Turkey bacon and a sandwich on Frenchtoast was everything I needed. read more

This is a little craft coffee gem in the Heights. The owner, Artem, makes it a point to showcase local artists--I had the privilege of having an art show here with his support. The baristas are all talented and able to make beautiful beverages. The usual dairy alternatives are available. CBD lattes are also available. Forever uses Irving Farm coffee. read more

Love the matcha latte here. Also, they expanded their menu and now offer really good sandwiches. i tried the tuna last summer and it was delicious. read more

Great coffee and breakfast options. Lunch is optional as well. Close to the neighborhood!

Not only is the coffee average. I have literally never been around more rude staffing in my entire life.. The first time I went there the guy working was extremely cold and his responses to me were given to me with an attitude. I tried to give this place a second chance but another employee was the exact same way!! She was absolutely disgusting. I kindly asked her if they had oat milk available and she responded with "Um we always have oat milk" and proceeds to laugh at me with her coworker. I really tried with this place being that it was so close to my apartment but i just can't tolerate that nasty behavior read more

Listen, I just want a Latte, but this place delivers, on point, every time. The guests all seem to leave happy and I've even gotten to know a few of the regulars, Forever Coffee Bar feels like a local spot, and that warms my heart. The baristas are quick, polite, and professional. Thank you so much for the outside tables, I love being able to people watch and have my morning cup of coffee. Cheers guys. read more

Cute shop. Nice pastries. They use pacific food oat milk which is pretty gross and doesn't foam well at all. read more

Forever Coffee - Pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I've put off leaving this review for so long, because this place was part of the reason my partner and I chose to move into our apartment down the street almost 5 years ago, but in that time, I've seen such a disappointing decline in the quality of food and service at Forever. I used to love their coffee, and was so happy when they added bagels to their menu. I also liked when they briefly combined with their previous location, Forever Falafel. I also used to love coming here for the great service (shoutout Kelsey, Jacob, Sequoia, and others) that really made it feel like my neighborhood spot. In the last year, it's felt like every change has been for the worse. Most of my drinks are now incorrect or poorly made, and I often see employees sitting on the floor behind the bar on their phones. Most recently, I placed an order for pickup ahead of time for one coffee, arrived 15 minutes later to a mostly empty restaurant, and had to ask the barista to check the system and prepare my drink. While I still appreciate that they are one of the only spots in the neighborhood to get a decent bagel, that's pretty much the only reason I go anymore. I truly want them to stay in business, but it's hard to want to go anymore knowing how great it used to be. read more

I have tried their cafe latte (good), their matcha latte (okay) and their chai latte (worst chai in my life). Love the artwork, specially the ones from local students. The barista with the neck tattoo has this "ehh I don't really care" vibe. The last time I went there it was a different person, young Latino guy at the register, and he was nice. I like that the started a point system. Final Verdict: Wouldn't object to returning for a regular latte there but skipping the matcha and chai latte. read more

Delicious coffee and bagel sandwich - excited to see the evolution of this place - wonderful for the neighborhood

What they are calling cold brew and charging $5.44 for is so thin & light yellowish brown that there is no way it is quality cold brew and worth the price. read more

Excited to finally have an independent coffee shop up in The Heights--great conversational and work environment for about 15-20 people--cozy, great artwork, and good music! They serve Irving Farms and have good food options; and don't forget the free WiFi. The owner, Artem, is so friendly! read more

Good offerings, but overpriced!! An egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is $6.50! Plus tax. You're almost at $10 for a simple breakfast when you can get a good E&C at a Bodega for less than half the price. read more

181st Street has always been a wasteland for independent coffee shops, which is a shame... That being said, these guys popped up at just the right time and definitely fill a large market on that block between Fort Washington and Broadway. The coffee is great too. I almost want to keep this place a secret as the seating options onsite are limited... I've decided not too though for the benefit of others... Constructively, the space needs a few more touches to feel "complete". It's almost as if the interior designer missed a chunk of the space. I wish them all the best and will of course stop in again for an iced latte when I'm on the block and send friends and colleagues their way. read more

I had a long drive from Boston to DC and decided that, rather than pausing at a rest stop, I'd take a break in Washington Heights. I'm glad I did. For under ten bucks, you can use a clean rest room, have a great conversation (about bunnies), and grab a fantastic latte to go. Street parking is relatively easy to come by in the neighborhood on a Sunday. I'm looking forward to my next trip! read more

great service, great food. coffee amazing as well. you can do you work there in peace. Sometimes the food takes long but it's worth the wait and you can order ahead of time for pick up! 10/10 read more

i was excited to try this spot in the neighborhood. i've lived here all my life and lately have really been craving a coffee shop that is cozy and a small business. however, the staff is cold and the guy behind the counter was rude and condescending. i think one staff noticed i was thrown off my the rudeness and tried to make up for it but barely. i ordered and the coffee was fine but the vibe was not warm , nor did it match the neighborhood vibrancy. disappointed because of it it wasn't for gentrification & arrogance the spot would meet its potential. Also -- way too overpriced. almost $7 for a small reg latte ?? jeez where do you think we are?? read more

The people are all super nice. I am not a big coffee guy so they recommended the iced green tea and it was awesome (with some simple syrup)! It is my new go to spot for my new go to drink. Great people. Great vibe. Great drinks. read more

Nahhh this ain't it. The coffee tastes burnt. They don't warm up the pastries anymore. The barista has an attitude. I'd rather go to Starbucks read more

LOOOVE this place! It's totally a diamond in the rough here in the heights (coffee wise). Especially being lactose intolerant. We come here almost every day. Artem (spelling might be off, sorry!) is amazing. We love him. read more

Forever Coffee - Outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I'm so happy this place opened up. I was tired of settling for Starbucks when getting coffee before work. Their coffee is so good, a little strong. Their chai lattes have literally made me fall back in love with chai and their pastries are amazing. My absolute favorite place at this moment. You will not regret giving them a try! read more

Forever Coffee - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Im not the type to write yelp reviews but I had to make an account just for this. I came in the other day looking to try out this cute looking coffee shop. The barista was very cool and friendly. I got a coffee and a muffin. I went to put some milk in my coffee and noticed a few ants or termites on the lids and sugar packets where their little condiments section is. Then I sat down and just as I began to take a bite, I noticed ANTS CRAWLING all over the muffin. I was absolutely disgusted. I told the barista I was leaving and he was apologetic and offered a refund. He told me he had just started working there and had told the owner about the ants as soon as he first saw them. When I stepped up to the counter to get my refund, I noticed ants all over the rotten looking wooden counter? Seems that nothing has been done?? How can a food establishment operate under these conditions??? This place is a food safety nightmare, stay away! read more
