I came into Elsewhere Espresso exhausted. These late nights and early mornings of writing Yelp…read morereviews is starting to take its toll. I came here as opposed to my normal coffee shop, as I need to get more reviews so that I can win another Yelpie. People don't want to talk about it, but a Yelpie is more difficult to get than a Grammy or an Oscar. Winning a Yelpie is war, and war is a full contact sport. I got my iced americano, and walked out to the covered outdoor patio and locked in. They have wifi here, which is huge because I get so annoyed when coffee shops don't have it... I mean I get it though, because when I walk into a coffee shop where all the tables are taken by people on laptops and over ear headphones I get so annoyed. The grass is always greener smh. My americano was S tier and brought me back to life, but honestly I just get it black so how good could it be. I'm no coffee connoisseur. While I was jamming away at my laptop, crafting a review that will make you laugh, cry, and contemplate your life in under 400 words in hopes to realize this long shot dream of back to back Yelpies, I spotted the only other girl on the patio reading "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain. My kind of people in here. I will leave you with a quote from the late, great Kobe Bryant: "Those times when you get up early and you work hard; those times when you stay up late and you work hard; those times when you don't feel like working, you're too tired, you don't want to push yourself, but you do it anyway; that is actually the dream. That's the dream. It's not the destination, it's the journey." IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Loved the rustic vibes and the outdoor tables (especially since the weather has been getting warmer). I really wanted to try the maple latte but unfortunately they ran out so I opted for a regular latte. It was pretty standard compared to other coffee shops - coffee was prominent and good ratio with the milk. Cold brew was pretty standard too. Hot drinks came in a mug while our cold drinks were just in plastic cups. The baked goods looked yummy but didn't get a chance to try. Not sure what was going on but I had to repeat my order 3 times before the staff member finally got it. She wasn't even polite/nice about it and kept repeating her questions even though I shared the same answers. Computers welcomed even on the weekends. Despite the meh service, I'd come back for the vibes and to try their other drinks.

This cafe was close by to our hotel, menu had a wide variety…read moreranging from breakfast dishes, pastries, and lunch items like salad, sandwiches, bowls etc. I ordered the chicken avocado bowl. Portion was pretty big. It comes with really delicious seasoned chicken, half salad/half brown rice, onions, corn, black beans and pico de gallo. My friend got the breakfast burrito. That was on the smaller portion. It's perfect for us small eaters but if you're someone with a bigger appetite....FYI you might want to order something to go along with that burrito. Wish we were able to try their coffee drinks because everything looks GOOD. If anything, I think they're known for their coffee beans as you can place a order on their website to get it shipped home to you. Unfortunately, seating may be difficult to come by as it was all taken up by people and their laptops. We were lucky enough to get the last table towards the front. Although there are some tables + chairs on the sidewalk too. Great option for when the weather is nice and people watching.

Laptop friendly w/ wifi and seats with outlets, but they do have signs asking for a 2 hour limit per customer unless you buy another item. Nice place to start my day, could also see it as a morning hangout spot with a friend -- feels third spacey and in a nice location in the West Village.

If you're looking to do some work here it's a great space. I might recommend to bring headphones as it might be a bit loud for some. For others who don't mind some vibey music (like me), it's totally fine. Drinks menu is a bit limited but I loved the matcha that I got. Pastries here are also so well made and super yummy. I loved how the almond croissant wasn't overly sweet or soggy (as others sometime are). Staff is super friendly, laid-back, and nice. Would love to come back.

We had no trouble finding seats and ended up yapping for over an hour. Brass-colored tables, slate-gray walls, and some interesting plants, the interior gave a warm, yet elegant ambiance. ESPRESSO PLUS - 6 +0.50 for oat milk The latte had a lightly sweet syrup that paired really well with oat milk, which reminded me of sorghum (earthy and nutty). This was kind of my ideal "sweet" latte. Not overly sugary, just smooth and balanced. My friend's cold brew was rough. She had me try it to see if it was "good coffee" -- it was not. It was muddy and tasted like straight up cigarette ash. Overall, hit-or-miss with the drinks, but a great space. I'd come back for the latte and the vibe!

((3.25 stars))…read more modernish coffee shop. clean, chill space with a good amount of seating. got a Cortado to-go in the evening before heading to the gym. it was okay and passable as a Cortado. i mean it did its job in terms of caffeine but just lacked that balance between coffee and steamed milk. also the cup had coffee-milk splash on the outside and had to ask for a napkin to wipe it off as it was all across the outside of the cup. not the best execution. service was fine but a little curt. maybe the end of day evening-ness contributed to the coffee being just "okay" in terms of quality and presentation. i'd probably stop in again but probably not for a Cortado. this Saltwater location seems like a good spot to read a book or to hunker down for remote work.
