Chill cool cafe with open wifi. The place is you want to have a different vibe to work. The music's pretty loud tho, so dont expect it to be quiet like your bedroom or a library. It's a coffee shop after all. My ice cappucino was $6 after tax. Manhatan price. read more

The place seemed nice - lots of seating. The cortado was just ok. A little over extracted and the millk texturing as well as the latte art wasn't great. Definitely not a place to come back to given all the options in NYC. read more

Four reasons to come here: 1. Oatmeal Raisin Cookie - chewy, packed with flavor and will make one joyful 2. Argyle Cheese Farmers Sweet Greek yogurt pots are sold here. Yogurts from small diaries are far superior in taste 3. Calo works here and is amiable 4. The playlist has lots of Led Zeppelin (which I like) and rock music Isn't it lovely to nibble on a cookie while listening to "What is and What Should Never Be" - relaxing! read more

This is a coffee shop located near Fashion Institute of Technology. I would say there's a decent amount of seating here and what I liked most about the place was their leather brown seating in the place! However for the menu, it was a pretty simple menu you would expect to find in a coffee place, nothing stood out there for me. read more

Decent coffee spot in Chelsea. The interior of the shop is spacious, clean, and has lots of seating for you to get your work done at or catch up with friends/coworkers/etc. Service is nice. I just got a simple black coffee and it was pretty decent. The only problem that I had was that their menu on the wall wasn't up to date and my coffee ended up being more expensive than I thought (not a big deal, but I just wish that they had accurate prices). read more

Not a bad spot for coffee if you're around the area. I have had better but overall it's not bad. If you need a coffee fixing this is the place, but for good coffee I would recommend exploring the other spots in the area. The cappuccino was alright but like mentioned before, it wasn't as appealing. On the other hand, the service was great and it's a great spot to hang out or chill. read more

Popped in here to grab an iced coffee for a mid-day pick me up and hopefully use the space for a work meeting. I was pleasantly surprised to see that 100% of the cafe was occupied by laptops. If you wfh it can be discouraging when coffee shops don't allow you to use the space for meetings and have more of a grab and go model. This wasn't the case here and I was happy to snag a corner table, charge my cpu, and take a meeting with ease. Great ambiance with classical music playing. The coffee is indeed strong. I asked for their iced coffee flavor options and while they only have vanilla the barista was able to make me a mocha iced coffee with almond milk. It was under $7 which isn't bad for the quality. Super sweet at first but once I mixed it up it was excellent. The after work crowd was intense but the staff got them in and out quickly. Overall a great experience and I'll keep it on the list for whenever I'm in the area. read more

I order a chi-latte it taste like the just put milk plus it was super hot =not drinkable

The coffee is alright, nothing special. This place always so noisy, it makes me I am in the market. Also, staffs are busy all the time chatting with the costomers so need to wait make orders until they are done. A study place? No way. I don't impress anything from this place, I go few times because of the close from the my place. I don't recommend read more

Decent coffees, nothing you'd want to dial ya mums up for! We ordered 3 drinks for the 3 of us, but they only made 2. They just stared at us blankly and asked why we were waiting. LOLZ. Anyway, we needed coffee. Busy inside, quite loud. read more

Amazing cafe, amazing coffee very near by to where we were staying. We got a hot oat latte and thought it was very reasonably priced. Love the ambiance, very chill, staff was friendly and our latte came out pretty quickly for being at primetime around 7:30am on a Monday. There was ample seating so we just chilled for a bit and enjoyed our coffee. read more

Always love the latte's here! I feel they have a unique flavor when it comes to their beans, stands out a bit from the other roasters in the area.

Stopped by to grab a cup of coffee. It's a cute cafe and lots of tables to sit and relax. I ordered an iced americano with an extra shot, which was pretty strong but liked the taste of it (not bitter at all). It was a bit confusing on where to stand to order or where to line up. They did have various pastries available but didn't get any this time. The staffs can be a bit more friendlier when taking the order. Otherwise, a decent place to grab a coffee. read more

I've passed by Variety Coffee Roasters a few times during my stay in Chelsea. It looked like a cute and simple cafe, and there were always a ton of people inside. While running errands on Saturday morning, I finally popped in for an iced dirty chai. The staff member who rang me up was not that friendly. She gave me a blank stare when I went up to order. After I paid, she left me hanging there as I wasn't sure if my payment went through or if she needed anything else. I actually had to ask her if I was good, because I could see a couple of folks joining the ordering queue. Such an odd interaction because of how uncommunicative the employee was. I finally got my drink, which tasted watered down to me. Safe to say I won't be back. read more

Variety Coffee Roasters - Cappuccino /w oat milk - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - New York, New York

I kind of love this coffee shop. We were looking around for a place to read in the late afternoon while I was using up my remaining days off for the year. Not gonna lie, every coffee shop in Chelsea was busy during the holidays and still is busy. I guess that work from home life is treating everyone nicely. Finally found room at this spot and not sorry about it. They have a simple non gimmicky coffee/tea menu at super affordable prices. A regular coffee is only $3! And the cherry on top of that is that I can put any freaking milk in it I want for FREE! They place their milk options off to the side on the counter along with syrups and sugar packets. I indulged in some oat milk because this coffee was strong. I think I had heard of it before because they're a chain. They also have chargers on the tables that are closest to the wall with the booths. It was nicely decorated for Christmas. Little weird on the music selection because it was like crappy loud punk or alternative rock music. Kind of a little too wired music for chilling out. But I'd definitely be back for a better deal in this area. read more

In all the time that I've lived and visited New York in the past 30 years, Variety's service was the best I've ever received at any coffeeshop. I was pleasantly surprised. And coffee was up to my standard. I get the same thing at every coffee shop - hot latte w almond milk, no sugar. Coffee had a good roast, not bitter at all and smooth. Foam was light and airy - perfect cup. read more

Came here for a quick decaf coffee to kill some time and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their decaf. I've had variety coffee at its other locations and they do a solid job. Lots of little tables, and calm ambiance to get some reading or work done. The tables are close together. The service was good - the guy at the counter was very friendly. Variety coffee is an ol' reliable in the city so you can't really go wrong. They do a solid job, though the title of "best coffee places in NYC" goes to others, in my opinion. However, I would much rather go here than Starbucks or Dunkin to get my espresso/coffee fix. They also have some tea options as well. The nearby CRUMBL just opened as well, so maybe grab yourself a coffee to cut the intense sweetness of those cookies. read more

Been a long time since I've lived in NYC as a student. Decided on a spontaneous 4-day weekend getaway to visit Manhattan again and unexpectedly had such an amazing time. Got very nostalgic visiting old memories and places (some of which sadly :( are no longer in existence (sigh)), but I was so pleased, in exploring the city again, to discover new little treasures here and there, one of which was Variety Coffee Roasters on 7th Ave. The vibe at this corner coffee shop was a rare find--chill, nonchalant, no foo foo, yet something about the music, the windows, the baristas, the smiles, the coffee--was very nice, was perfect. Thank you for the great decaf espresso and adding to a surprisingly memorable weekend :) read more

At the heart of New York City, it is an amazing cafe with great taste, vibe and good customer service. Tyler is super helpful! Amazing cozy atmosphere with comfortable couches. It's not very noisy and great taste of music too! Coffee price is amazingly cheap starting at 3$ Enjoy the best coffee NYC has to offer! read more

We started our trip towards dinner one afternoon and it was blazing hot out. I decided to search up some coffee places and this place was highly recommended. So we did what any proper person would do, we dropped into this coffee shop to get some iced coffee and water. The place has really cool vibe inside. I realize now that I didn't take any pictures of it but I really like the floors here for whatever reason. Staff are super friendly. Placed our order and at the end of the counter is a water jug. There are plenty of tables to sit around and enjoy getting out of the heat for a little bit. It was nice this place wasn't rammed or small and just a take out counter. Ice coffee was decent. Water was nice and we enjoyed our time in here. read more

Stopped by quickly this morning for coffee. Did not get a chance to actually experience the place, just ordered to go. I did notice quite a bit of seating and people do some here to do work. Place seems to have a good amount of people coming in and out so if you want a quiet place to do work, this is probably not the spot. I did enjoy the ambiance and the iced chai latte I ordered was fantastic! Hope to come here again soon. read more

Good coffee nice friendly staff decent chocolate chip cookie too! Nice and clean space

Honestly very mediocre coffee given all the rave reviews. Coffee was bland and tasteless in our iced lattes. I was not a fan of the self service vanilla syrup at the station, the bottle which was unlabeled and basically empty save 4-5 drops. The guy at the barista counter half heartedly offered to refill the syrup bottle which I declined. Nowhere to sit inside as tables were filled with folks working at laptops. Forgettable experience, and one of the last place coffee places I've been to in New York. read more

Very good coffee. They are very nice and I enjoy their pastries.The place is busy and can be crowed. Finding a seat can be difficult .

Love this coffee. I got a latte and lemon poundcake. It's a nice space airy with good light. Ideal chillin' and doing work, reading a book, or meeting with friends. It was easy to find and a good location in Chelsea. Staff of polite and quick and helpful. It was also very clean. Highly recommend Variety Coffee Roasters! read more

Stopped in for a mid-afternoon coffee. Thankfully I wasn't looking for a place to sit as the place was packed, with several folks hovering, waiting to swoop in and grab a table. Coffee was fine -- nothing special. Baked goods looked pretty thoroughly picked over, so I'm not sure I'd recommend this place unless you want just a drink to go. read more
