This is a nice little coffee shop in Manhattan. It was busy when we arrived. Because it was winter and a little cool outside we enjoyed hot chocolates and mochas. Service was fast and friendly. The coffee was delicious and smooth. Excellent experience. Highly recommend recommended. read more

Delightful vanilla skim latte! I don't know why I don't come here more! It's cute & clean, and appreciate that there's some seating. Didn't try any pastries but they looked good. I'll def come back soon! read more

Birch Coffee is a cute little coffee shop on the 1st floor of the 8 Spruce Street apartment building. It has a quiet atmosphere with a cozy feel. It's the kind of place where you can curl up to a book and some hot cocoa. The bathroom is clean (an important must!). Plus, they give a 10% discount to educators and uni students with ID. Be mindful, however, that there are no Wifi and outlets, so if you're looking for a place to work for some time, this may not be it. Still, I love the good vibes of the place. Very friendly, chill staff. They do not sell hot food but they offer an array of pastries. As for beverages, they have the standard options for a coffee shop. I've had the hot cocoa and birch spiced latte, the latter which is a sweet, caffeinated mix of ginger, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. Both have been decent. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely stop by! read more

Great coffee. Friendly staff. I had the black drip coffee and it was great. My daughter had the blackberry latte and she loved it.

Nice staff, great drinks and normally ease during rush hour. I like the dirty matcha

Spacious cafe where there's plenty of places to sit and enjoy a drink/pastry. Saw a couple of people working in there as well. Got a large cold brew for $6 which was tasty (liked how it wasn't too bitter). The barista was friendly and they also had pastries but didn't get any this time. Would like to try some of their specialty drinks next time! read more

Had the best experience grabbing an iced chai latte. The space was clean and inviting. The person who took my order was super sweet and suggestive. Definitely tried to connect with me and get to know me even though I was traveling. I waited maybe 2 min for my beverage and it tasted amazing! 10/10 recommend! read more

Upbeat seratonin-boosting music, cozy window seating, and decent coffee (latte for $6). The matcha is unsweetened, though, but there's simple syrup on the counter. Waitresses were super nice but there's NO WIFI and NO OUTLETS, which makes it a pretty bad study spot. read more

Birch Coffee - latte and matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

We stopped here after visiting the Brooklyn bridge. yeah there was a Starbucks nearby but we can get that anywhere and wanted to try this place. This place is small but cute. I felt like I was at a Berkeley coffee shop - it felt hipstery. They have a long table, communal style. It was late morning/early afternoon and was happy to see they still had baked goods available. My chocolate croissant was pretty standard. My iced caramel latte was good. Although I was thrown off with the extra 50Cent charge for making it iced. They have a little station off to the side with what seemed to be simple syrup. I would've added that to my coffee had I seen it earlier and skipped the $0.75 caramel. Before tip, 2 coffees, 2 croissants, $20. read more

Cute coffee shop. Very nice hipster-ish vibes. They have the old and new standards. Their baristas provide excellent customer service and know what they're doing. The vibe with the books etc is cool. Prices are normal. You won't regret eating here. read more

This was a very spacious coffee shop with plenty of seating. The shop offered an assortment of coffee options, cold brews, lattes and a selection of sweet and savory pastries. All of which looked very appetizing. I decided to go with their new drink, lavender hibiscus latte and a plain croissant. The croissant was flakey and not too buttery. I didn't taste much lavender in the latte. If I were to order it again, i'd like to try the drink iced and add a little more sweetness. read more

The place is small, sms, coffees are good, sometimes it is hard to find a table, flat whitw I was nice, service was fast.

amazing cafe + great atmosphere. Clean, and you can always find a place for seating. It's not packed like Starbucks near by with collage students. Close to the train and buses. I highly recommend! read more

LOVE! I came to NY for a few broadway shows and stopped in here for a cup of coffee. The young woman at the counter so VERY helpful when I inquired about a bag of beans and the coffee was delicious! The atmosphere was welcoming, it was cold like some small coffee shops and the seating was inviting. We are here another 2 days and plan to visit daily for our caffeine needs. I highly recommend visiting. read more

Super cute and cozy spot in financial district for some great coffee ! They also sell two types of Underwest doughnuts, which was awesome, because it saved me from making the trip to midtown to try the famous car wash doughnuts. Their coffee is amazing! I ordered the cappuccino and it was divine. If you are a coffee lover and coffee snob like me you, you know what good coffee should taste like. I was very happy to be able to enjoy a vanilla lavender Underwest doughnut and cappuccino there. Overall the service is good. They have a communal table in the middle and a few tiny two person tables on the right side of the coffee/order area. It's a bit narrow so it does get uncomfortable if there are people sitting next to you. But right. They also have some sitting space on the left side of the coffee/order area with high stools, where you can people watch or whatever. read more

I love Birch Coffee but I had never been to this location before, but I was staying nearby. We came in on a Sunday morning and the line was (almost) out the door. But it moved semi-quickly. When I got to the front, I was surprised to see that there was only one person working. She would take an order and go and make a couple of orders. She was quite efficient because the line wasn't longer. But perhaps they should have staffed better for a bustling Sunday. Birch Coffee always has a pleasant atmosphere with fun things to read and creative napkins. They had a nice selection of bags of coffee to peruse while waiting in line. I didn't buy any this time but one benefited charity. The coffee tasted great, as I expected, and I appreciate that they have an extensive collection of alternative milk. read more

2025 and no wifi? with these inflated prices? really disappointing, Might as well say "overspend here and leave as soon as possible"z

Great coffee and vibe! All staff were fantastic. If you are booking for a place to do work that need WiFi connectivity, Birch is WIFI-FREE shop read more

"For coffee lovers, in a serene decor" Although it's a chain, I do like this place --- No flavors, fancies or bs, just really good coffee. I got the Americano which had a good rich flavor without tasting like burnt over roasting ala that other chain from Seattle - Get the coffee for here and you'll get to drink it in a nice ceramic cup - Wish they had milk options out at the fixins' bar! - Note: Good bathroom, very clean esp for this area Maybe not a destination place, but a good neighborhood option read more

Whoever the guy was that was working on 04/14/2021 at 12:56PM was horrible. He had a nasty attitude and yelled at me and my friend. I understand working at a coffee shop can be stressful but there's no reason to EVER scream loudly at a customer. Especially a regular customer. I've been to all of the Birch coffees for YEARS now and I will never ever return to this location and I am actively discouraging everyone I know from coming. read more

This is an intimate coffee spot that is perfect for casual work meetings. I usually go to Birch around 3 pm on the weekdays and I never have an issue finding a spot to sit. The coffee is really good and they have a toasted almond tea that is really flavorful, just add 2 packets of brown sugar. The tea is so good that I've purchased the unbrewed tea and a jug of the tea as gifts for coworkers. read more

Coffee itself was 3/5. Wildly mediocre. We came here for a bathroom break and caffeine stop, but their restroom wasn't open for use. There was also no indoor drinking/sitting allowed, only to-go, and they asked us to leave. read more

My second time here and the quality has gone down drastically. I passed on the pastries when I saw a fly behind the glass. My friend said the iced matcha latte was pretty bad so I tried the coffee and it was very acidic. The barista didn't seem happy to be there so we didn't say anything. read more

just now Hi! I'm sure the coffee is great, I bought a bag of Mexican Chiapas coffee that I can't wait to try on my aero press, but (this is where things go south) while I was waiting for my beans to be grounded, I ask kindly if was possible to use the ladies room, the answer was "I'm sorry we are close" which it wasn't. Still were customer inside the cafe, the hours where 7 to 7 (me not knowing the holiday hours yet) and it was clear that answer was a general one. I reply to the non so friendly barista that didn't make any eye contact with me, "how come I can't, I see people and I just bought an $18 pound of coffee" at he replied; " no sorry, we are close for the day, sorry" however I see him organizing bags and such. I went outside where my husband was waiting with my baby and I explained the situation, and he as well got upset. He went inside asking why denying service to a customer, their answer: "we are in Holiday hours, and we closed at 4:30" as soon as he got out he explained to me , however the holiday hour sing on the window said 8-6pm, we were there at 4:30. Honestly, if the bathroom service is not allowed because owner stated and baristas need to follow, I get it, but please don't make customer feel stupid where you are contradicting your reasons. Rant done and hope customer service gets better. Thanks. 12/28/19 Seaport location read more

Small neighborhood coffee house. Operative word being small. Birch has 3 or 4 other locations in NYC, but this is the only one that I visited so I can't attest to whether or not they're all about this size. The limited seating didn't affect me in the least, since I did strictly to-go. They make a mean soy chai latte, so I was happy. What I really loved about Birch is their book program. Like a true coffee house, they encourage, honor, & promote books/reading/writing. You can bring a book that you're done w to add to their collection, & in turn, if you find a book on their shelves that you love, you're free to take it home. Forever, if you want. Isn't that nice? And cool? And refreshing? Conveniently located just across the street & around the corner from The Beekman Hotel. 4 stars. read more

The positive: nice space. Friendly staff. Standard (good) service. Music isn't too loud. The rest of my experience was dissatisfying. Cortado so milky it tasted like a latte. (That's called a piccolo.) the small-ish pre-made salads had no price so I was surprised to find out it cost more than $10 when I brought it to the counter. Come on Birch. You can do better read more

A simple oat milk cap was my order. Middle of the road quality, nothing exceptional unfortunately. The service was welcoming, and their patience was appreciated since it took a minute to decide on what I wanted to try. If I return I'll definitely default to my usual Americano to have a better idea of their beans and espresso pull. read more

This place was a great find! You can still hear the busy streets outside a bit but it's not too bad. I didn't need headphones to work so it's decently quiet. If you're looking for a great cup of coffee, latte, tea or even a good pastry, this is the place. They have great coffee and matcha blends. I tried the mocha and they made it just the way I like it! Their staff was always welcoming, friendly and took the time to make your drink right. Will be coming back soon read more

I was staying with a friend in the area and they suggested that I check out Birch Coffee. Immediately when I walked in I could tell this was a quaint, friendly, coffee shop where I could grab a quick beverage. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. I enjoyed that they had little signs available with questions people could ask you if you were sitting there alone. It made the entire atmosphere feel at home where people can come for a drink, relax, and meet new people. read more

Birch Coffee - Small area, but very friendly! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Comfy place, great culture, great stuff, good coffee and various leaf tea to choose from! Falling in love with this place! There are countless good coffee places in New York. However, Birch coffee is unique by bring ing a connection between drinkers and through books. The place has plenty comfy seats with chillin background music. The ignition initiative (topics you can place on the table to have a discussion with strangers) is a great idea to add warmth to this busy cold city. I also love their bookshelf - free to take home, free to contribute! Coffee - I got soy cap. It has a "Hello, my name is: Cristina." on it!!! So coooool. The coffee is less foamy but it's creamy, rich and well balanced. Will come back. Note: soy milk available, no almond milk. read more

Birch Coffee NY: Manhattan: FiDi 6pm Sunday 24th April 2016 Four Stars Located on South West Corner of the Gehry Building, Birch Coffee is a great addition to the coffee shop community. Its open until 8pm which is odd but wonderful because I can always use coffee. The place was all but empty. There were some seating by the windows and in the center of cafe. The staff was friendly. The coffee was excellent. The rich espresso and foamed milk was exactly what I wanted. I will have to check this place out in the morning and see how it really is. read more
