Cute Swedish cafe in Tribeca that can be as delightful or as simple as you want it to be. I got a few items mostly for sampling, but am happy with the outcome. The Swedish Meatball sandwich I got feels very Panera-esque, however when deconstructed something more beautiful appears. The meatballs taste great with the sweetness of the lingonberry jam, the pickles give it an extra contrast to the sweet jam and savory meatballs. The bread can work either as toast or a sandwich, though the latter made me feel slightly nauseated because of how dense the bread is. The hot chocolate is rich but delightful too. The cute heart shape the foam forms feels inviting and warm. It essentially was telling me to make another visit, and while I cannot promise one soon, recommending it is something I can do heartedly. Lastly, the cardamom cinnamon bun is extremely flavorful and super sinful. If this is how the Scandinavians make their cinnamon buns, I fear I may have just gone up a pants size because this is one dangerous bun. I thought Iceland ruined cinnamon buns for me here, but Sweden may have overtaken it. Time will tell. For a nice Scandinavian take on things, this is perfectly acceptable. read more

Walking downtown and a bit hungry when I noted the sandwich board out front announcing their Kaffe Åre Swedish Meatball Sandwich Midsummer Special. The lingonberry topping called out my name. This café's a low key, tasteful space. Also saw the baked goods, including small Cardamom Buns that looked similar to one of my favorite Nordic baked goods, Finnish cinnamon rolls, which also have cardamom. So, ordered the sandwich, the bun, and an iced tea. The Swedish Meatball Sandwich, came with meatballs of 100% grass-fed beef and local ground turkey, organic lingonberries, and pickled dill cucumbers. Everything was tasty! That being said, considering the amount of food, it reached over $25, making me think this café experience was pricey. They do have something so frequent patrons can get points, but that's quite far from where I am regularly. If you're in Tribeca, though, would definitely recommend checking Kaffe Åre out. read more

Hands down best filter (Fjoll blend) coffee in Tribeca! Neck to neck with Vandame's La Colombe. Any local probably knows this! We had a bluberry lemon scone, made on the premises with minimal ingredients!. The cold brew was superb. The server was patient with requests to go easy on the ice! If you enjoy real fine ingredients drink or baking, this is the spot. Love the pristine Scandinavian ambiance. read more

stopped by for a cappuccino with their house made vanilla syrup, and it was delicious! I love when coffee shops make their own syrups, as it makes a huge difference in the quality and taste of a coffee when I want something a little sweet. The interior is also quite spacious and cute, and staff are incredibly kind, highly recommend! read more

So this place is awesome because: 1. It has awesome options of freshly made brewed coffee..obviously. 2. Plenty of seats with additional seating area downstairs so no issue vulturing for a seat which I hate. 3. Great ambiance and music. 4. When you leave you don't leave with that strong coffee smell. Definitely one of my go to places for coffee. read more

Kaffe Are - Perfect cup of coffee on rainy day before Christmas! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Overall rating: 4.8 Super cute spot I stumbled on while I was walking in the area. I went to try the matcha which was okay. Def want to come back for either a breakfast snack or a smoothie. While it's large in space, the order waiting line was a bit hard to get confused with the food waiting line. I guess it depends on how many people are in the queue. read more

Really friendly staff and the large communal table in the front and smaller meeting tables in the back offers a great mix of spaces to choose from. What surprised me was the large bouquet of fresh flowers on the community table that lifted the atmosphere even more. The whole place feels like a great meetup spot in the neighborhood and a great destination to find new coffee blends. I already had lunch before coming in or else the menu of sandwiches and snacks would be really great accompaniment to the nice range of pour over and espresso drinks. Would be returning again. read more

They make a fabulous Pumpkin Spice Latte! It's not too sweet at all, it's just right. This location has mostly one large communal table to sit at and a few smaller two seat areas so it's a great spot to go for a quick bit or to sit for a bit! The staff is very friendly and the coffee is SO well made. read more

I had a nice oat milk latte with salted caramel syrup at Kaffe Are. You order at the counter and then can either get to-go or a nice mug. There's a wide oak table where you can sit and sip or do some work on a laptop. The wifi worked well. I didn't try the food but it looked like they had a nice grab-&-go fridge section. read more

This is one of the best lattes I've had and I drink a LOT of lattes. The workers are so sweet. There were a few people inside but my latte only took like 3 minutes which wasn't too bad. I would come back again. read more

One of my newest favorite coffeeshops. It had a wonderful assortment of accessory food items. I personally had the french toast (and although I wished they warmed it up), I really enjoyed it. I saw people enjoying smoothie bowls and sandwiches and they all looked scrumptious. I walked in and asked the staff for a matcha latte as well, and boy did the latte art look fantastic. Great vibes, great music, always packed (so be sure to get there in the morning), since there was a quite a crowd later in the day. There is also free wifi from nearby stores, outlets, and some seating space if you want to get work done. There is entertaining Sweadish (i think), music playing in the background. Great place to get work done, but it can get a bit crowded. Also a bit on the pricier end for a matcha latte. Still enjoyed my time here. There are also a few outlets and a bathroom for coffeeshop workers. read more

The food is literally so bad I don't know who would like this. Don't eat here. Kind workers though.

I hopped into Kaffe before heading into the office with one of my colleagues for a quick coffee and breakfast on-the-go. The inside was really cute and had some seating to eat in. We both ordered drip coffees and breakfast wraps. Our drip coffees were really good. Note as with any drip coffee, it took about 10 minutes for our coffee. I ordered the breakfast omelette wrap and my colleague ordered the quinoa power wrap. We both thought the wraps were filling but light at the same time. Everything in my wrap was so fresh and paired perfect together. The service was pretty quick and the staff was nice. I will say they assumed we were sitting in rather than to go, so I'd recommend making that clear when you order so that your drinks / food come in the right container. I would stop in here again for a quick bite. I recommend checking it out! read more

Extremely cute place with some amazing healthy breakfast and lunch options. My friend and I stopped in for breakfast and coffee. It's a little snug in there, but its the Financial District, so it's to be expected. A lot of regulars were working and having small meetings in there, so we knew it was good. I had the Quinoa Power Wrap and it was gigantic! I probably should've only eaten half but due to the amazing flavor, I shoved it all down. Everything is fresh and delicious and the staff is very nice. The only thing I would change (definitely not the music as I loved the Lorde vibes emulating from the speakers), is that they wouldn't call out the names of the coffee orders, or the coffee order at that. So we couldn't tell when our coffees were ready. The food was the same, too. very strange. read more

I came here spontaneously for a coffee drink before getting some work done, and it is a nice little find. There was a fairly long line, which really conveys its popularity. I appreciated the friendliness of the girl behind the counter who made me an iced espresso with oat milk without suggesting I get an iced latte! :) There are a bunch of healthy food options here such as açaí bowls, sandwiches, salads, and juices. Next time I am here, I would love to try any one of them since they all looked very fresh. While the music can be somewhat loud, I appreciated the long wooden tables with beautiful flowers as the centerpiece. I also wish Kaffe Landscape had more natural light to brighten the atmosphere because it can be quite dim even on a sunny day. I definitely will be back for some more coffee and a healthy lunch! read more

Surprisingly excellent variety of baked goods. I'm rather particular as an intermediate cook and their lemon (-glazed?) blueberry scones, moist muffins, and gluten-free berry muffins all especially stood out to me. Details like cardamom really speak to me too. Apparently they're a Scandinavian/Swedish cafe that started out in CO, with 3 NYC locations of Tribeca (2) and Midtown (1). Feeling pretty lucky they're a short walk from me in lower Manhattan! read more

A homey little cafe and a rare gem in a neighborhood of fancier, more expensive, less cozy places.

We really enjoyed stopping here before a full day of travel! Everything we had was so delicious and obviously, incredibly photogenic. I had the double espresso, as is my go-to, and thoroughly enjoyed this full bodied shot! Husband got the cappuccino, which he says was as tasty as it looked. My avocado toast was the perfect start to my morning: healthy, filling, and savory. I loved the side of arugula as it's one of my favorite things to pair with avocado toast in the morning! My husband got the oatmeal which I managed to sneak a bite of and WOW! It's literally comfort in a bowl with all the super fresh fruits you crave in the morning. The vibe inside was great: cozy, but perfect for catching up with friends before heading our separate ways. This was definitely a worthwhile stop and would definitely make a point to come back next time we're in the Tribeca or FiDi areas! read more

A nice cafe to work from. Though seats are plenty, it was relatively busy when I went. There is a clean restroom in the basement, which is always a huge plus. I ordered a blue bowl. They were nice enough to sub the banana for me. Though I was a little disappointed at the bowl. The toppings felt skimpy to me. I forgot the bowl came with cacao nibs until I felt a bite and saw there were a few more. The housemade granola is tasty, vegan and gluten free for all my friends who need to know. read more

Literally running here every weekend for coffee and a matcha mana bowl after the gym. I like to indulge in as much caffeine as possible it seems. Ha! Great coffee (a brew of their own) and nice breakfast/ lunch options like salads, sandwiches and pastries. Really great for an on-the-go meal or to stay and hang out (though it can get loud when it's busy). If you're looking for food inspo (so many options)... I'm a fan of the breakfast BLT... and always ask for extra avocado. read more

I got the Hawaiian pink dragon smoothie from here, and it was really tasty and nutritious! Not sour, but a well balanced and nice tasting smooth smoothie. The service was pretty quick, and the seating was very spacious and picture worthy. This cafe is also a quick 5 minute walk away from the 9/11 memorial and WTC, so it's convenient and efficient! read more

Sheep on! Kaffe 1668 South is the family love creation by Swedish twins Mikael and Tomas Tjarnberg. They've been in NYC over five years when they opened their first Kaffe 1688 on Greenwich Street. Now with three NYC locations, they are serving up some terrific coffee. What's great here is the variety of single-origin pour overs. There are many different coffee choices ranging from Ethiopia to Honduras. The espresso offering is a bold roast, Kaffe 1668 South is a true coffee lovers destination. All of these Swedish places have some insane baked goods! If I had more time, I would have loved to have one of their many egg breakfasts or panini lunches. I grabbed a big chocolate chip cookie with sea salt with my latte. The coffee after the first sip is bold, perfecto! If you're in the area, have a seat and enjoy the coffee along with a few fuzzy sheep. read more

Did anyone else get a fraudulent charge from Ecolab no less than 30 mins after coming to this place? I purchased a salad. I'm not really sure how to mess up a salad, but I paid $15, took 3 bites and tossed it. I wouldn't be returning for this reason alone. 30 Mins after I left I got a $374 charge on my credit card for some kind of environmental website. read more

This is a quiet little coffee shop near the 9/11 memorial. There is plenty of seating and food is available. We just ordered our usual lattes and they were very good. The milk was textured reasonably well and the temperature was good. A small amount of latte art was produced. The drink was mellow in flavor and relatively smooth. One of the things I didn't like was that I explicitly asked for the drink to be for here as I much prefer to drink out of a mug than a paper cup. When my drinks were ready they were in paper and when I folks the barista this, he looked at my order and just said, oh yeah, sorry about that. And, that was it. I'm glad that was the only thing wrong otherwise I might have been stuck with additives or alt milk which I didn't want. Also, there is no public restroom so make note. Overall, it was relatively good coffee, but I'm confident there is still a better shop in that particular area. read more

The Kaffe brand offers some delicious coffee, lunches, snacks and treats. This location is no exception. I like a lot of things about this cafe. Obviously their drinks are snacks are good, that's what keeps me coming back. They sometimes sell day old cookies at a discount. But a TriBeCa discount so they're still like $2 each. The seating is nice and he atmosphere is pleasant. You can come here with a friend or alone without feeling lonely. The restroom is downstairs, so be aware of that if you have limited mobility. Perfect location near Whole Foods and Target if you're running errands and need a break. read more

I used to go to the Kaffe 1668 in midtown once in a while and always loved how big it was. The FiDi location is smaller but still has plenty of seating at a communal table, and a few smaller tables. The thing is, downtown coffee shops don't have the come-and-stay-while-sipping-coffee vibe...since everyone is heading to work and busy. This is one of the few non-Starbucks locations in the area where you can actually sit if it isn't slammed. Friendly service, nice decor, and bougie coffee drinks. It's what you'd expect. read more

I don't usually hang out in Tribeca, so I'm not familiar with the local coffee scene. I was looking for a place on Greenwich Street with only one requirement: wifi, and this was one of the establishments that I had bookmarked a while back that fit the criteria. Unlike it's sister location a bit further up on Greenwich Street, this particular location has free wifi (open network). Also, if it's important to you (those of you who are looking for a place to hunker down and do some work), there is a large clean bathroom available for customers downstairs as well! Although I liked the decor and the rustic feel of the cafe, I found it a little too dim of a place to start my morning - honestly, all I wanted to do was cuddle with one of the stuffed sheep, toss a sheep throw over me, and take a nap in the corner, instead of waking up like I should with my morning coffee. I started out at the back of the cafe at a small table, but found it way to dark to do work, so I moved up front to the bench next to the window sans table. However, I do appreciate that there are a variety of seating options - both at the communal table up front and smaller tables in the back. I ordered a latte, and it was photogenic, but even with whole milk, it tasted watered down to me. I was hoping that a couple shots of espresso would wake me up more than it did! I like this place, and would definitely meet up with friends or do work here if I was in the area, but I would not go out of my way to visit! read more
