An adorable, blink-and-you'll-miss-it, little coffee shop. The decor and ambiance feels alternative and cool, the staff is nice, and the cappuccino was great! read more

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

It's a small space but cute inside. Their syrups are organized to show what combinations other customers have enjoyed together. That inspired me to try cherry and caramel in my latte. Unfortunately I didn't feel it paired too well, but I do hope to come back and try others. The employees were so friendly and they have a punch card which is always a plus. read more

Great cup of coffee. I forgot to give a 5 star review 6 months ago when I was here. Housemade syrups and very decently priced. The service was fantastic. Staff there has very good awareness of clients needs. I didn't know where to tap to pay and it showed on my face. I picked up a sleeve for my coffee and was made aware there was one on the cup already. All done in a very pleasant way. Small space with no seating so don't expect to have a place to drink your coffee. You may be able to get away with drinking it standing up since they have a small area but I took mine to go. read more

Good coffee but not a place to hang out. It's a small space. They don't offer ceramic cups for your espresso, which was a bummer. But they have very fun drinks like a spycyboi, which my +1 enjoyed. We took our drinks to the park across the street and sat to enjoy them. Got a peek at the "secret" bar and hope to check that out on my next visit to the city. read more

Patent Coffee - a man standing in front of a counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I was looking for a new coffee shop to try out before my flight in New York, so I stumbled upon Patent Coffee in the area. I wasn't sure what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by a small, but cute, storefront. There isn't much seating (maybe 4 stools), so this may be more of a grab-and-go kind of coffee. Either way, I was happy to see that there were plenty of unique flavor options that were offered. I asked for the Fig/Vanilla latte, but was told they were out of vanilla syrup -- no big deal though! The barista was kind and they were able to make me just a Iced Fig Latte; I liked my drink and thought the flavor went well with the espresso and it wasn't too overbearing or strong. I would definitely come back here to try some of the other drinks (I'm seeing really good things about the rosemary latte) read more

It was a cute hole in the wall spot but i ordered my coffee half sweet and it was soooooo sugary and i asked the staff if it was actually half sweet and they doubled down and said they didnt put too much sugar. waste of money because i couldnt even drink 2 sips read more

Patent Coffee - entrance - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

My absolute favorite coffee shop. The spicy boy is incredible. The vibes are great. It's a must stop by whenever I am in the city.

Best latte I've had in a while. Got the rosemary latte that the barista recommended. Super friendly guy. Great convo while I waited for him to make it. They apparently make all the syrups in house which is a plus. And when a spot has this ice. You already know it's gonna be a good latte. read more

Superb coffee. Excellent location. Excellent service. Coffee that makes you feel happy. Coffee that lets you know it likes you. How it should be. read more

I love this coffee place, the guys behind the counter are always so friendly and can hold a great conversation. I always look forward to coming here when I'm nearby! read more

Coffee coffee coffee. Cute small shop, reminds me of something you'd see in a movie about California. Love the vibes. Peaceful spot to get some work done. Strong, great quality coffee and chai tea with some interesting and delicious seasonal flavors. Highly recommend. read more

Who plays, friendly staff. Definitely a nice little set up inside. I'm judging the coffee experience based on the flat white only. I didn't find the flavor profile very appealing. Part of that being preference since it was a little darker roasted than I like, but aside from that the coffee didn't have a great taste. read more

Tried to use the check in offer for a cookie 8.20 but the girl working was dismissive and talked about her hate for working here.. coffee is good though! read more

Probably my favorite coffee shop in the city!!! The rosemary oat is a gem, and any plain latte. I need to try more of the menu because I just know it's all great! read more

It's a small coffee shop with little seating, so it's a quick grab and go place for some great drinks and pastries. I ordered the Chai today and it was great! Usually Chai can be too milky and sweet, but this one had a nice kick of spice to it. I also got a free check-in cookie. I would get it every time but definitely not good for me, even though the chocolate chip tastes amazing! read more

super cute little place that is so easy to miss ! I walked by it twice before realizing it's a little below street level. I got their spicy boy latte, and true to its name, it was v spicy. Definitely not my favorite coffee drink, but it was intriguing enough that I'm looking forward to giving their other drinks a shot sometime, especially ~ after hours ~ at patent pending. read more

The little coffee shop that could. Opening today with stellar machines and sweet treats by Pain D'Avignon and cookies by the senior food editor of Bon Appetit magazine.The smell of the coffee here is intoxicating. Can't wait to stop by for my morning brew en route to my office and some sweet treats. Hot and cold brews abound. P.S. Tried the cookies- thin, crispy and amazing!! #Epiccookies read more

I love this coffee shop. It's coffee shop by day and speakeasy by night, LOVE them both. They make a mean espresso and cold brew. Forever favorite coffee shop! read more

Not open during posted hours of operation What a waste. Google says they're open, Apple Maps says there open, Yelp and their own website says they are but yet they're not. This is an un reliable business and not worth the time read more

Patent Coffee - Just the closed door. It's 2:30 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

It's my first time saw this coffee shop after working out. Great, definitely I wanted to try some new things out. I came in around 3:50pm and got the rosemary latte which seems pretty popular. But it seems they are about to close so the staff was quite unhappy to see me coming in and gave me some bad attitude. The drink was not even my type of drink. It's not worth to experience what I have experienced just to get this rosemary oat latte. Anyway, I wouldn't come back again. read more

We dropped in for a latte. What a pleasant surprise that we received a free cookie upon check in! I got the toffee oatmeal cookie and it was LITERALLY one of the best cookies I've ever had. The latte was great too. Not too strong but flavorful and not too sweet. Come for the coffee, stay for the cookies! read more

We stayed nearby, with a plethora of amazing coffee options. However, we came here 3x because: - earl grey latte: wow - excellent espresso - free cookie with check-in Pricing-wise, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was compared to SF or, heck, even Peet's. read more

They have house made syrups and you can really tell!! The rosemary oat latte is SO good!! A fave in NYC. I definitely recommend!

I came in last minute for the Cappy hour ($2 cappuccino at 10:30am - noon). I believe the barista should be more attentive - she charged me regular price for the cappuccino at first, since she was not aware of the discount hours. I was looking forward to choosing from pastries by pain d'avignon, but it seemed like the cafe didn't have any today. Blueberry muffin was pretty good, but otherwise there were sad looking pale pastries. read more

This is a fantastic little coffee shop hidden away down a small flight of stairs. Inside there is not much room to sit and hang out, but there is a fantastic menu of coffee and espresso options and a little case of pastries. They normally run seasonal coffee specials, and right now it is the delicious cereal milk cappuccino. Their espresso is very smooth and subtle, which makes it a perfect accompaniment for a well made simple drink. I did try their toffee oatmeal walnut cookie and need to give it a shout out as well. It's small but worth every penny! read more

Ordered their butternut squash soup. It comes in a tiny 6 ounce cup, for which they charge a whopping $6.00. To top it off, their payment interface has a 20% tip by default and -clumsy me- I hit ok the second the barista swiveled the iPad to me to e-sign my receipt. Ended up paying $7.20 for the munchkin size cup of soup in the photo, not to mention it tasted like it had been stored in an old moldy antique trunk overnight. read more

I came here because the sign outside caught my eye. It said CBD coffee and since I love coffee. I just had to try it especially considering the sign said it has all of these positive health properties. I tried the CBD Cold Brew with Vanilla syrup as suggested by the cashier. It was tasty although I did not taste any vanilla it was definitely herb tasting. But I enjoyed it this unique tasting drink. I will be back to try some of there other drinks and pastries. read more

I love this place! I came here on a whim, expecting to just get a black coffee because I needed caffeine, but was really tempted by their coco matcha on the menu. No regrets, it was absolutely delicious. Do you love coconut? What about matcha? Are you up for an iced drink? If so, look no further, the coco matcha is the drink for you! Outside of their delicious coco matcha, the service was what really stood out about this place. The man working here when I went was incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. I'd come back again while passing through the area and I recommend everyone reading this to check this place out! read more

Pretty good coffee but their hours are a disaster and the place is run poorly overall. I've gone countless times at 'opening' for no one to actually be there. What's worse is they updated the hours on yelp and google recently but still can't keep to them. read more

I love this place, the coffee is great, the baristas have a cool edgy look and vibe, and the place itself is unique. Just -1 because seating is so limited (it really is a grab-and-go type place). FYI, I paid +$2 for CBD oil in my latte and didn't exactly feel any sort of difference. In case anyone is curious... read more

The daytime coffee shop front of Patent Pending. It's a hidden gem that's easy to miss. The coffee here is excellent, and the service is always friendly and fast. It's very small, so it's more of a grab and go spot. There are some occasional fun coffee varieties such as s'mores lattes and some coconut/match concoction. There is also a small selection of baked goods available (though I haven't seen any during COVID times). Worth checking out! read more

Overall: a great quick coffee alternative to Starbucks when you're on your way to work and need a caffeine jolt without sacrificing quality Coffee: The coffee here is top notch. They have three different blends each for a different purpose: espresso, drip and pour over. I've had espresso and drip and both blends are unique and flavorful. They change up the blends every so often so it's great to come back and see what they have. Service: honestly some of the friendliest staff I've met in a coffee shop. They're always eager to ask about your morning or compliment your outfit. Other things: This is NOT the place to sit down and work on your next novel. They don't have WiFi and they only have a few bar stools. However, I love this place for its coffee and service. You won't be disappointed going here! read more

The espresso is delicious, and the "Spicyboy" stood by its name and was a throwback to a Cali-Mexican hot cocoa, superb! Also, Jonathan was so lovely and pleasant to connect with. read more

Really helpful staff and management! I had the CBD lemonade and it's very good. I like that it is not very sweet or at all and I can add my sugar as desired. I also got a cold brew in a bottle to go that I can't wait to try and share with my friends. The cbd is great quality. read more

Super nice staff and good coffee... I don't have to tell them my order - they always remember it bc I'm a regular!

I first noticed Patent Coffee several months ago and had a really great latte there- something interesting and sesame-flavored, a seasonal or signature drink. I'd have loved another sometime, except the place has been closed every time I've passed since. As another reviewer mentioned, it's basically never open during the posted business hours. The lights are on and the counters are stocked, but no one's home. Weird, unprofessional, and annoying. read more

the most lovely staff in the entire world coupled with great coffee and amazing vibes

This place is trash. The clientele and part of town can't be helped, but the management sucks and I heard they just let go of the best barista they had so there goes the excellent customer service so many people were writing about. Honestly better just to go the extra block or so to the Ace Hotel, which has a coffee shop attached. read more
