    Black & Tan. $5.73 + tip
    Ruwan J.

    this is the La Colombe location, next to the Whole Foods on Houston Street. it used to be Allegro coffee shop. while it's a nice location and convenient if you need pre- or post-supermarket shopping caffeine. it is not really doesn't have the same vibe as the La Colombe flagship on Lafayette. the coffee is solidly good and served accordingly as it using La Colombe coffee products and baked goods, but it doesn't have that La Colombe top-notch vibe. the space gets a lot of sunlight, well-maintained, and organized. also it has a good amount of seating. betond going to Whole Foods, it's convenient when you're in the area or getting on or off the subway but if i want that La Colombe magic then i head to the Lafayette location. all that said, the staff is friendly and makes this location work. the location is just missing that coffee personality which is more reflection of the energy of the space and setup.

    La Colombe is a longstanding coffee provider and had a lot of early success in the growing coffee scene. It's been a long time since I've been back to try their coffee, and I will say that as industrialized as it's become, it's still solid. There's a lot better coffee scattered throughout NYC, but for as unanimous as they've become the coffee isn't bad at all. This particular location is attached to the whole foods and serves as a bit of cafe/watering hole for shoppers. There's a moderate amount of space to sit, no bathrooms (i don't think) and no wifi. The music was kind of loud but I think it just depends on the day you come; good place to maybe get some reading done or get a quick coffee on your way to your next adventure. As far as coffee rankings go, it's not a place I feel the need to return to but it's not bad by any means. They of course also sell a variety of their beans there.

    Staff was super friendly and were pushing out drinks quickly. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was delightful. Hubs needed a spot to sit down and enjoy his Russ & Daughters bagel. This shop was spacious and had plenty of seating for him to eat and enjoy some coffee as well.

    Nice place that's conveniently on a corner in the LES. It was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon, so there was plenty of seating available. Not as aesthetic as their other locations, but still nice and clean. Pumpkin Spice Draft (~$8) - pretty expensive for a cup of coffee, but I have to admit it is good. It's draft so it's ready immediately. It's smooth and creamy, but not too much of a pumpkin flavor. Pretty light on the coffee flavor though, so don't think it has too much caffeine.

    My favorite coffee in all of Manhattan! Always consistent and always great! This new location opened on the corner on Houston and Chrystie and on normal days will be open from 7-7 daily. Very cool to have a La Colombe open so early in the morning! This location is their first actual roastery in Manhattan. They even have their own Bowery blend beans!!! How cool is that?! They are serving up their tasty pastries and have a great sitting area if you have time to chill. If you like coffee or espresso...give this place a shot! It's truly my fav and what I brew at home!!

    Chai latte

    Very good location, right next to the Whole Foods. Coffee is good, chai is quite sweet. Service was friendly and simple. Haven't tried their pastries as they did not look the freshest. Interior decor is way too simple and quite frankly lacks any design. But this cafe is spacious, and wasn't crowded at all on an early Saturday morning. Definitely a good spot for a very casual coffee drink.

    La Colombe always delivers the best fast service for a drink or pastry. The drinks never disappoint and had me visiting everyday. The quality of the espresso shines through each beverage, and you can't beat their draft lattes!

    This location is connected to the Whole Foods next door - we popped in during the afternoon after walking around the city all day. Clean menu, without paralysis from having too many options. Staff was friendly as our big group ordered. I can see myself coming by again!

    Coffee was good but not too special. Spacious place to sit and chat but not the most clean or comfortable. I'd say it's an easy place to stop for a while!

    Classic la colombe coffee. It's nothing special but it's decent and reliable. The best thing about this location is lots of seating.

    My friend told me to meet her at the Bibliotheque, and so I did, not knowing what I am walking into…read more(no googling before hand). Wow, what a beautiful space! When you enter there is a bar you can sit at and two large high top tables next to it. As you walk further in there is a lounge with couches and various sizes tables. The whole space is surrounded by books! Heaven! We ordered a chai, matcha and a ginger cookie. Shout out to the woman taking my order for comping me my drink for my birthday! Everyone from the staff was friendly - I really enjoyed being there. The only thing I would say is someone should come by to check on the tables more often as I had to return other people's abandoned drinks. But you know what first world problems, am I right? Maybe they can have a sign or mention to customers to return their own cups before leaving. I sort of can't imagine why people don't... It is quite popular spot so you need to be very patient and strategic if you want to grab a table, as well as sprinkled with a little bit of luck. We unfortunately got there a little late. I went there at 3pm and hunted for a table and my friend got there by 330pm. By the time we ordered and started drinking our coffees - we were informed the lounge area will be closed at 4pm to prepare for the evening wine bar. Oh right this cafe turns into a wine bar in the evenings! How cool! At 4pm we thankfully grabbed one of the high tables - sharing it with another couple but it was large enough for the 4 of us. The lights dimmed and the atmosphere changed to more intimate. We unfortunately had to leave at 5pm, but I imagined picking up a James Baldwin book, ordering some white wine and enjoying both.... Mmm definitely next time. Maybe sometimes after work - sounds like a great wind down.

    there is a reason this cafe/wine bar tops every "best places to work remote from" list I've found…read more - this the most gorgeous bookstore and cafe that slowly turns into a wine bar. the walls are covered in beautiful books with sections for weird female protagonists and banned books. large couches, tables, spinning plushy chairs, truly a range of seating options until 4pm when it turns over for dinner service (beware 90 min wifi limit!!) - the coffee is reasonably priced ($5 americano with almond milk) and the service is very fast at the counter. the food menu is minimal until dinner, so I went with the one sandwich option with meat. - the prosciutto Gruyère was delicious. the bread has a crispy crunch while the inside had the perfect amount of butter to soften the inside further. cheese was sharp and meat was salty, a classic combination done well. - I loved it here and will certainly come back when I have hotspot data or downloaded materials to work on after the 90 min wifi limit

It was way too hot and crowded inside for us to wait, so they told us we could just come back in 20 minutes to check on our spot. I wish they had a call list or a texting service to let us know when we were up. We came back at the 20 minute mark and thankfully were seated pretty quickly after that. Thankfully the dining area was cooler than the waiting area. For food I got The Smash and added a poached egg. My bf got the breakfast burrito (he would have gotten the eggs Benedict, but it didn't look like they had Cholula). I had read reviews that this was the best avocado toast in NY, but it was maybe my least favorite of the few I tried! Could just be me, but it had more of an acidic flavor than I like. My last bite was also a mouthful of feta which I had thought was egg lol, it was honestly hard for me to get down. My bf's breakfast burrito was maybe the smallest he's ever had, but it tasted decent. 5/5 for service, and the ambiance (though hot) was cute. I'd be tempted to give them another try because of how good the reviews are, but I wouldn't get their avocado toast again.

There is limited pastries of cookie, croissant, coffle, and bun. Come to Koré Coffee for their Croffle which is my primary purpose for my visit. Koré Coffee is located at 26A Elizabeth Street, Chinatown, Manhattan, NYC. Customer service is average with patience as I doomed scroll my Yelp app for a photo of my coveted pastry since I was unable to describe in words. Four stars, there are no tea options (hot or cold) available. No comment for the coffee or latte as I did not purchase any. I do not drink coffee in any shape or form. No restroom facilities are located on premise because this business does not meet the NYC bathroom requirements for mandatory facility of having 20 or more seats. Matcha Croffle with strawberries $11.00 (with NYC sales tax $11.98) It was served on a small plate. The Matcha green tea cream was refreshing delight as well as the strawberries. The waffle was good. I always have a predilection for waffles. It was filling as dessert for lunch or morning brunch. I enjoyed mine seated as I did not want the Matcha to spill into the bag or on my lap along with the strawberries dropped for loss. WiFi access is available. Business cards are available which also serve as a loyalty card where the tenth paid purchase enable "buy 10 coffees, get 1 free." I did obtain my sales receipt amid my payment method was by credit/ debit card. https://kor-coffee.wheree.com/menu
