    Matcha Latte
    Veronica L.

    Solid place with solid beverages!! I got a large hot Matcha Latte ($6.25) here, and the ratio of matcha to milk was PERFECT and not watered down at all! The prices here are standard. I've also gotten an Iced Latte here in the past and that was also pretty good! I recommend picking up a cheaper pastry across the street at the farmers market, grabbing a beverage here, and sitting down. While it's a small seating area, people come and go all the time, so seats open up pretty regularly. Note that there aren't any restrooms at this location.

    First time coming here and decided to get a large latte and it cost me $4.75 plus tax and tip. The latte came out nice and the milk was foamy to the touch! Very warm and fuzzy, just like how I like my lattes. Place has enough seating and condiments are there for people to grab and take.

    Pre-pandemic, I would share my coffee snobbery of how Joe compares to other high-end brews around town. Not now. I found myself in dire need of a cold beverage on a heat wave hot, typical Union Square summer night. Joe has found *premier* real estate in this specific establishment amongst the pandemic. Right off Union Square West, directly in front of the subway entrance-- this place is the *only* artisan coffee shop on the Square, and they know it. The ambiance is impeccable! I've seen Joe throughout the NYU area over the years-- same ole same, tiles, blue hues, nowhere to sit, the whole shebang. But now? WOW. Socially distanced, minimalist seating, thoughtfully designed, earth tones, woody..... I would've taken a pic, but I was too entranced. Now, for the coffee? On a scale of Coffee Cart to Stumptown it's about a 6. Though, I didn't understand why both I & the customer behind me ordering decaf seemed to be an inconvenience.

    Rosemary maple latte & iced matcha latte
    Jennifer W.

    We tried the iced matcha latte and the rosemary maple latte, both with oatk milk sub and they were both tasty. Fairly simple coffee menu, some seating but not too much, connected to the Chase next door. Staff was very friendly and drinks came out within 5 minutes. Convenient location right across from Union Square.

    It's Cozy right next so the Chase bank. you can find a place for seat always. no bathroom. Chase bank is Connected inside you Don't have to go outside to get there. There's No bathroom. :(

    Salted strawberry cold brew
    Sanah B.

    Was feeling whimsical so opted for the salted strawberry cold brew and it might just be the best decision I make all day. Picture a little delicate strawberry-filled milk chocolate in coffee form. It's like caffeinated strawberry milk but with no flavor too overpowering. Perfectly balanced and a drink that I will absolutely go out of my way to come back for the next time I'm here. Also loved that the place was teeming with regulars who the baristas knew by name and whipped their drinks up without a word. That's service and quality. Wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood!

    New Union Sq location!
    Peter Y.

    I've always had a good experience at Joe Coffee around NYC and this location is no different. Nice inside space; it's a shame that COVID is preventing indoor seating at this time. I ordered an americano, which came out nicely; not burnt-tasting like certain coffee shops do sometimes, but mildly sweet, roasty flavor. The barista working the front was pretty friendly too. Recommended!

    Got a special matcha latte here that wasn't great. Seems like a place out of convenience in the park. Long line.

    Interesting specialty drinks selection, but the quality of their coffee itself is nothing to write home about.

But nonetheless, I was recommended to try the Carrot Cake Scone and my god, that scone will live forever in my dreams. So unique, so flavorful, if I weren't on the go I would have double backed to buy another. Thank you to the kind server who has given me this gift, I will be returning.

    I really love Librae Bakery. I had never been to a Bahraini bakery before, so that's what initially…read moredrew me in. Also, bonus points because everything is baked in-store and you can actually see the bakery setup. It just makes the whole experience feel cooler and more legit. I ordered the pistachio rose croissant and man... my mouth thoroughly enjoyed every bite. The inside was stuffed with this rich pistachio paste, and the top had pistachio pieces with a rose garnish. Just so good. I also tried the loomi babka. I've never had babka before, but it kind of tasted like a soft, slightly savory bread with a lemony twist. Super unique. I was in the city for 4 days, and the tahini date latte... WOW. SO good. The barista JB absolutely killed!!! I literally went back every single day just for that latte. It had a unique flavor, not too sweet, nice date & tahini flavor & super delicious. If I had the funds to order this every single day, I would! (but my wallet would cry.)
