the matcha drink with jam was sooo good. i had never tried anything like it before, and it was so tasty. The color of the match was so bright and deep, and the quality was amazing too. service was efficient and friendly, and it didn't take long to get our drinks. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cute place, I love the pigeon theme![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The two young people welcomed us in and helped with recommendations. My lover and I tried the hibiscus tea and turmeric latte with a lemon poppyseed muffin. Hibiscus tea is not as sharp, and is more perfume-y? I like it a lot, he added some of the honey syrup they had available. The turmeric latte is delicious and unique, comes with oatmilk (and without coffee but I get it with be good with a shot added). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music is not too loud, and the doors were propped open when we were sitting in for fresh air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think there are not a lot of places to plug stuff in if that would be a problem for you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But it does seem like a cozy place to sit and read or do homework.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks you guys! read more

Stumbled upon this coffee spot while wandering the west village neighborhood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was cozy inside with a limited amount of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The baristas were really friendly to chat with. They had a sign out front with some of their limited edition fall drinks. I ordered the iced apple cinnamon matcha with oat milk. This was really good and tasted like fall in a cup. My only note is that I wish the cold foam cream on top was thicker. It was pretty thin but still really good. The matcha they use is pretty good quality. Would absolutely get this drink again. read more

I came here recently on a Sunday afternoon with a big group of people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a couple tables inside and we were able to move things around so everyone could sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the orange blossom espresso tonic, which I probably wouldn't order again. I usually like the mix of espresso and citrus, but this particular one didn't taste great to me. I also tried the Nutella-stuffed banana bread, which was delicious. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stumbled upon it a few days ago because I saw that they had a banana bread latte. Tried it and it was really nice! read more

First time in NY and ran into this cute & small place while walking. Very warm inside and we were greeted as soon as we walked in. We ordered two coffees and they were delicious! 1 hot miso brown butter - definitely get a butter taste, creamy and not overly sweet. 1 hot banana bread latte. It was good, sweet and you get a good banana taste. read more

I came here on Saturday morning at 9am. This is the original Joe Coffee. I ordered a large drip coffee. When I asked the barista about the origin of the beans, she informed me it was a mix of Peru and Guatemala. It was very dark and bitter for me. The atmosphere was nice though. I think most of the customers live in the neighborhood. I saw all of them greeted each other when they walked in. Clean bathroom and fast WiFi. read more

Even though Joe Coffee has locations all over Manhattan, this is the original coffee shop on Waverly Place that opened twenty years ago. I was visiting New York City awhile back and stopped here for a cup after a day in the West Village. The coffee shop itself is cute and cozy and I enjoyed the nice hospitality. I appreciate neighborhood coffee shops like this that are a staple in their surrounding community. Great coffee and great place to relax or do some studying. You can also order their products online and have them delivered to your home. read more

I almost didn't want to write this review because i had so many memories with this coffee shop. But I really enjoyed spending time at this place. It was a wonderful friendly neighborhood coffee. I am giving it a 4 because the coffee was good, it wasnt great like oh my god i fell in love with it. But it was the place in general. There was something about this spot that felt like my favorite coffee shop in LA. It felt like a nice break from the hustle and bustle that is manhattan. It felt peaceful, not too quiet, yet a safe space to study, go to the bathroom, drink a coffee and a pastry and even chat in the patio with a friend. That said, this place is small, with a counter a couple tables, and a little front patio where you can sit for a moment. But many people usually take their coffee to go so on a week day, its a nice place to sit for a moment and drink a nice coffee. read more

Some mid-day coffee is always needed. I visited to grab a cup of coffee after my lunch meal. The Chai Latte was a good refreshment after our meal and gave some warmth for the cold day. Their branding is also eye catching, the blue packaging did play a part in contributing to my reason for visiting. Overall, from a traveler's perspective, this is a nice neighborhood coffee shop with your basic coffee drinks. Nothing special or unique on the menu, but it gets the job done, 3.5 stars. read more

We came by this cafe after dining at Olio e Piu next door. When we first entered, it gave student cafe vibes. There were a couple people working/studying. I ordered their seasonal special - a lavender earl gray oat milk latte, size small. The cup was definitely small, but I'm guessing it's once of those cups which are bigger than they actually look. The latte was really yummy and tasted quite light. It was $6.25 though so a bit hefty of a price for the size. read more

- I spend a lot of time at coffee shops so my reviews are tougher - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Laptop friendly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lot of locals frequent here at what seems like all day, so it does have a nice neighborhoody local vibe, despite being a chain[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - I found the coffee to be higher on the quality end for a not so boutique boutique chain - [[HIGHLIGHT]]No paywall WiFi![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good amount of seating as well as seating on the outside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Con - Only downside is there's often just 1 person working there so I'd have to wait upwards to 1-2 minutes for something as simple as a drip coffee. Won't ding them for this as coffee shops are just trying to manage their costs and this place has a lot of pros (as mentioned above) P.S. - I manage a database of coffee shops with detailed info on seating, WiFi Speed, etc. DM me for more info =) read more

We stumbled across this coffee shop as we were walking from Stonewall to Washington Square park and needed some refuge from the cold. It was the best place to get a coffee. I didn't know I needed a boost of positive energy until I encountered the people working here. Everyone was beaming with positivity. I cannot actually describe it in words but from the interaction with the cashier to the baristas making the drinks it was all like watching the most efficient yet happy form of humans making coffee nonstop while singing and interacting with customers. Imagine a coffee shop where it's so cramped yet you are not upset about the space because the feeling of just being in there is giving you life. My latte tasted amazing and while the pastries in the display were calling my name, I used some sort of will power which I don't know came from where but I did not order any more food. My latte tasted amazing and I cannot wait to become a regular at Joe Coffee Company if I ever end up moving to NYC. read more

Came to a coffee shop to get some work done. First of all, they don't have a bathroom which is really unfortunate because it's a coffee shop. They also don't have any outlets inside so your time inside is pretty much determined by how long your battery lasts and how long you can not pee for (after drinking coffee). There are also few seating options inside - 2 window areas (2 seats each so 4 seats here) and a large 4 seat table. But there are a lot of outside seating. Also has wifi! Iced large latte ($6.10) - this itself was good, pretty strong. Adding flavored syrup or different milk is an extra dollar so I just opted for whole milk and added the simple syrup myself from the sugar table. Large tumeric latte ($5.60) - also good, but we got a large and were presented with a small instead. It was only a 50 cent difference so we didn't make a fuss, but disappointed. While we were there, they've messed up multiple orders by making the warm versions - including my iced latte. So it was chaotic and a pretty long wait for them to realize and fix it. read more

I have lived around the corner for years and this was frequently my go-to. ...unfortunately, there is a new assistant manager(?) and I've never seen someone at that shop be so rude and unprofessional when handling fellow staff and customers. Completely different vibe, now. Culture is just not the same and I have no interest of spending time in the outdoor cafe or ordering coffee like I used to. What a bummer. Off to Rosecrans I go I guess. read more

Let you use the restroom for the price of a drink. Thanks. Had a blackberry spritz and holy cow it hit. Thanks to the barista for being speedy and sweet. read more

Cute place with a bunch of seating and relaxed ambiance that's work-heaven. There are a couple benches outside, too. I know they're known for their quality beans, but te house brew was too acidic for me. I went with the ginger turmeric tea, and while pricey at almost $4, it was pretty refreshing and comforting. I dug it. Guy and girl at the counter were friendly and welcoming. Wish they had a bathroom. read more

I meeeaaaan, talk about perfect location??? This cute lil coffee shop is right in the heart of West Village (my fav neighborhood) and we had dinner reservations at Petite Boucherie in a few hours so we decided to sit in this spot to grab some drinks and chill out. It was soooooo hot out (96 degrees) so we both went for an iced chai tea!! Soo yummy and flavourful. $4 for a pretty big cup! Very nice vibe. I would definitely come back to this Joe Coffee spot to do some work/relax and write. Love this spot & can't wait to try their pastries! read more

A great neighborhood feel coffee shop! Right at the corner of Gay St. & Waverly, this cozy spot offers a few outdoor tables and two benches to sit and enjoy the local vibe.

Loved this coffee shop! Very cute inside and looks like one of those shops you would spend an entire afternoon in just sipping on your coffee and enjoying a book. My boyfriend and I split a coffee and a chocolate doughnut. We just got the regular drip and it was a very nice cup of coffee. Plus the mugs they serve it in are really cute. The coffee did not have a bite and was pretty smooth. The doughnut had an interesting texture, there was a powdery outside to the yeast inside. With the coffee it was good but by itself nothing to be excited about. We will definitely visit this shop again when we are in NYC! read more

First came to this location 6 years ago, when my ex girlfriend convinced me I needed to move out of Hell's Kitchen and she was insistent on showing me how great things are "downtown".

I ordered an iced latte that somehow got made without the espresso machine being touched? Instead my "espresso" came out of a metal tin looking incredibly dull. The drink came out tasting like slightly flavored milk. read more

Still just the best latte pretty much anywhere in the world. And I love this original Joe's location.

The Quick: Flavorful coffee at an adorable location on my favorite block (gay street!) The Details: Joe's is the coffee lovers coffee shop. It's cute, tucked away in a little corner on Gay Street. It's always crowded but the line goes fast. If you happen to nab a spot early, it would be the perfect location to read a book and people watch. The actual coffee taste amazing and blows Starbucks out of the water. it's a nice spot, I would return. The Details: A little pricey meaning you can't get coffee for $.99 like McDonald's. But you get what you pay for. read more

Unpleasant all around. Barista was unfriendly and condescending, looking aggravated when I asked for their sweetener options. Didn't know that was such an offensive question! I'm a server myself and know for sure I didn't act in any way to warrant such an attitude from her. The coffee itself was bad. So expensive too. I spent the rest of my day upset with myself for spending nearly $8 on one of the worst iced coffees I've ever bought. Had that unpleasant metallic, headache-inducing quality to it. Tried my friend's drink as well and it just tasted... odd. We weren't able to finish them. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

Good to support locally owned and locally roasted coffee businesses. There are so few in NYC it's surprising to me. The coffee here is very good, I will try to support them on my visits to the city. Excellent service, nice people, and wonderful coffee. read more

Never actually heard of anyone having a bad experience at a Joe Coffee- I certainly haven't had one. The people that work here kind of take of take you away from the grime of NYC and Greenwich village is the best place for that. Kind people that are knowledgeable and able to efficiently walk me through the ordering process even with my order alterations (oatly, light ice, in my own reusable cup, etc.) Seating is sparce, but most people get theirs to go so you'll often find a seat. If it's a nice day choose OUTSIDE ON THEIR BENCHES! Love Joe read more

Competent enough coffee shop, but staff weren't really up on the menu. No public restrooms, a fact which was not disclosed until after I ordered. That's fine, but what really set me off and makes me write such a forceful review is that they wouldn't void the order. If they had started making the coffee, that would be one thing and I'm happy to pay. In this case, the order hasn't even been started and yet my request to cancel was not carried forward. read more
