With a dynamic list of coffees, La Colombe offers both organic blends and a selection of freshly-ground options, from light to full-bodied. Opt for a dark, chocolaty blend, or go for the medium roast with sweet, fruity, and nutty tones. Alternatively, keep it light with a bright, citrus, tangy roast. The venue is spacious, and serves as a perfect meeting spot for that mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

McNally Jackson

Not your traditional cafe, McNally Jackson also serves as a library. Enjoy a strong cup of freshly-brewed coffee and a pastry while you browse their literary selection and delve into your favorite book. They also offer organic products supplied from the Hudson Valley.

Maman

Serving family recipes from the South of France, Maman brings the indulgent flavors of a French bakery to New York City. Headed by Chef Armand Arnal of Michelin-star restaurant La Chassagnette, Maman’s menu offers inspired dishes crafted from local produce, so the food is always fresh and delicious.

Cafe Integral

Bringing the taste of Nicaragua to New York City, all coffee at Cafe Integral is roasted locally. Try the La Embajada – Red Catuai, a unique roast which is fermented for 36-hours in-cherry. Cafe Integral also boasts a brand new espresso bar located inside American Two Shot on Grand Street.

Ground Support Cafe

Ground Support Cafe offers coffee grown by farmers who have a direct relationship with the cafe. Their coffee is all freshly roasted on-site, with the option to have a cup in the shop or buy a bag to take home. Should you decide to linger, you can also enjoy a selection of sandwiches, salads, and snacks.

Gregory’s Coffee

Gregory’s Coffee offers customers a solid background on what they’re sipping, from where the coffee was sourced to its nutritional information. Download their app, available for iPhone and Android, which also lets you pay by card without wasting time at the register. Pair your coffee with one of their baked goods and enjoy.
