Great flat white! Super cozy spot and great people but immediate 5 stars for an excellent espresso. I've been getting soy flat whites forever and only the specialty roasters use the right beans that shine. It really takes a few bad ones l for the excellent ones to shine. The brightness of the beans really shine through the soy milk in this flat white and I am very satisfied and happy now. read more

This is my absolute favorite coffee shop. Their blackberry latte was life changing. Like so good that I was getting it every other day. The blackberry matcha was delicious too. Their vanilla latte is also super good. They also have pastries from the Hungry Gnome, which is one of my favorite baking companies. I love the punch card system. I'm so happy I discovered Birch because it's now my go to spot for a good cup of coffee. read more

Quick service which makes this a great place to stop on your morning commute. The coffee was average but they do have many options from traditional lattes to the cold brew with cold foam including oat milk cold foam for those that would prefer a nondairy drink. There are also two vegan and gluten-free prepackaged pastries. I didn't try them personally but it is always great to know they are offered. The space is small but there are a couple of tables that you can sit at. They also have many books that you can borrow while you are there or exchange if you have a book and want to leave one and take one. Overall would recommend giving this place a try. read more

I love great accommodating service . Arrived to meet a friend for morning coffee and conversation. I was early so I ordered a large regular cofree and saw an everything croissant. Interesting I love everything bagels but never saw an everything croissant. So I ordered one. Moments later I had my breakfast and sat down. Coffee was hot and delicious and the croissant, yummy! So delicious I'm putting Birch on my places to go for coffee and.... Sorry Starbucks, you lose. Now comes the added laurels...I ate the croissant so fast I forgot to take a picture for this review. So I went back up to the counter and asked the young lady to display one on a plate so I could take a picture. She was a little taken back by the request but said ok as long as I didn't touch it. Only drawback is the place is small with not much seating. Yes, I will return often. read more

Deep rich flavor of lattes, that's really all a coffee shop needs to do and it is rarely executed well. This place does it perfectly! Friendly staff as well read more

Great coffee shop to stop for a quick drink on the go. They have seats inside, bar stools, and a variety of pastries. Highly recommend the flat white, has an umami flavor! Would return. read more

- this location is super tiny, but quite adorable. - their chai is DEVINE, and mixed with the espresso it's quite nice. the perfect sweet and spicey combo. - expensive, but you get a lot of coffee in your iced cup compared to other places. - i have been here a few times at the end of my runs, and i have to say it's a great treat after running the west side highway. read more

The little treasure of a place isn't too far away from Integral Yoga Natural Foods- a place I use to work that is now permanently closed. Great coffee, positive vibes and a sense of pride in each cup that makes this place special. The west village area has changed in many ways and Birch is apart of that. I hope it stays for years to come! Loved the Cold Brew! read more

The spiced latte!!! Get it! Cannot express to you enough how comforting, rich, warm, and creamy this seasonal special.

Yummy! I remember getting an iced chai latte from here which was sweet but delicious. After all, aren't they normally sweet? I recall the interior of this coffee shop having a very homey, library type of feel. Bookcases and all. My friends and I took a night brisk walk and passed through an elementary school to get to this shop. It was cute! read more

Birch Coffee - Lattes and an iced chai latte. - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Love the oat milk and hemp milk lattes! The coffee always tastes delicious. It boarders on being overpriced though. ($6.25 for a large) Took away one star for the environment. This location is very small and feels crammed. The tables are too small to really do anything other than drink your coffee and chat with a friend. Also, no WiFi is available which, in my opinion, has become standard for a coffee shop to have in 2019. read more

Birch Coffee - Large oat milk iced latte, unsweetened - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

First time trying out Birch Coffee! This coffee had a really good taste and definitely would come back to have another one. The price point was fine and definitely on the borderline of it being a bit expensive, depending on what you have! The only part about this specific location that I didn't like is that there isn't any wifi for you to work but there is enough space for you to have a convo with your friend. The tables are small and really only room for a book and a coffee. Also, there isn't a restroom. Just wanted to point that out. Overall, a great experience because the coffee was really good. read more

Birch a solid little coffee shop on the edge of the West Village. It is less of a coffee shop in the classic sense, where you pull up a table and do work or snuggle up in an easy chair and read a book over your chai latte. It is more of a coffee kiosk. It is a very small shop, with only a few stools. Also, the menu of pastries, etc. is limited as well. However, if you are looking for good coffee to get in get out and go on your way, this is a good place for you. Personally, I am not a huge fan of their coffee, but it is pretty good. I think the taste part of coffee all comes down to personal preference. Regarding the get in/out/go part, they are located about 50 feet from the 1/2/3 14th Street stop. read more

A great coffee shop that's perfect for a break over a well-made pour over. The baristas were very helpful in providing recommendations on single origin roasts and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our cups. Worth a stop! read more

Visit there occasionally. Excellent coffee. Great service. I love their pastries. Will come again. Michael

I stumbled into Birch Coffee straight out of the subway and grabbed a cold brew on the way to my sister's office. It was cold, strong, and just a tad creamy with the addition of some soy milk. The location was small and cozy and seemed like it had a great vibe. Baristas were friendly and I was in and out in under 5 mins. Win. read more

Great coffee, though it took forever (they're on par with Blue Bottle waiting times here). I get it, though - it takes time for the good stuff. Anyway, I had a great skim latte and my friend liked her cortado. Edit 7/2018: iced coffee is excellent and they serve Underwest Doughnuts now. Can't go wrong with the Car Wash!! The cheddar scone was a bit of a letdown so definitely go for the doughnuts instead. read more

Birch Coffee - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

I had a good experience here. The space is very small - smaller then most other coffee shops. There's no space for lingering...you come in, get your order and have to move on your way. The cold brew was decent. I was in and out quickly during rush hour. There were a good amount of employees on, so everything moved fluidly. Got caught snapping a photo of the menu for my Yelp check-in. Always feel a bit strange trying to snap those. I will likely return to try something else on the menu. Sounds like some of the other menu items may be worth another try. read more

Kind of sucks they have pour over on the menu, keeps bringing me in but end up getting nothing since their brewed coffee is also just a blend. Can't have a "third wave" decor and menu if all you're gonna offer is lattes and espresso plus sugary drinks. Second time i mistakingly came in i ended up ordering an Oat Latte, got a whole milk latte, and the runs! Thanks for that. Can't go wrong with Chocolate Croissants right?? Well, if you like 3 day old pastries you can't, eh? read more

I had the chance to visit this Birch Coffee location while catching up with friend who was visiting the city. I've been to several Birch locations but this was my first time at their spot on west 14th street. Walking in I instantly noticed that it's smaller than their other locations around the city. It has about four high top tables and a small counter top where you're able to enjoy your beverage. Honestly though I'd say this spot is best to grab and go with your coffee since the seats fill up pretty fast. I ended up ordering a small 12 oz. coffee that came out to be $2.75. Compared to other options in the area I'd say this was a little steep as well, especially given the fact they only had one brew. Overall an ok spot to grab a quick coffee and head out. There are a few other options in the area with larger seating spaces I'd check out first though if that's something you're looking for. read more

This is a great spot for a cup of coffee. Walked in for a macchiato and sat. Great atmosphere, quiet, and the coffee was good. They have alternative milk options, such as the elusive Oatly oat milk. Only critique is that there is not a lot of space. I didn't take a close look, but I believe that new configuration could give more space. I had to ask a couple to move that took up the tiny window bar. Not a big issue, but it would invite more people to stay longer. All in all, will go there again. read more

Wanted not Starbucks Coffee and a snack while killing time before meeting with friends. This place is tiny with limited seating, but people were still around working on laptops. I had a chai latte and a vegan peanut butter cookie. The chai didn't taste bad, but nothing unique. The cookie was definitely good. Before I showed up, I really had to pee. After a chai latte, I really really had to pee. As far as I could tell, no public restroom :/ read more

I guess once in a while you just wanted to return to some of your old favorite coffee shops and have something classic over there. So today I settled myself in Birch, a chained coffee shop spreading around NYC, and enjoyed my flat white. Unlike all those hipster trendy spots, Birch to me was more like a family-style coffee places, that I could bring a book, sit down, and quietly enjoy some of my personal time (of course with coffee in hand) - a feeling I was always longing for. Wish they could bring more locations in the city. read more

Birch Coffee - Skinny flat white. - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Birch is awesome, at least this location is (haven't been to any of the others). There is such a great vibe here right from the moment you walk in. Right off the bat, I liked the deli counter style menu rather than the over done chalk board, the wood tables that had character and felt lived in and seasoned rather than fresh and new. Everything felt more natural, more authentic here and less like they were trying too hard which I feel many other coffee shops seem to do. Now this is not a place to come work, and I think that's the point. There's no wifi, so you can either get your coffee to go, or stay a while, kick back, enjoy your coffee, have a meaningful conversation with a friend, ponder our existence relative to the multi-verse, read a book or do as you like. My barista was super nice and the espresso had great depth and flavor. It was just what I was looking for. If I lived in the area, I'd come back here all of the time. I guess I'll settle for the next time I'm in town. read more

Went here on a recommendation, i love coffee, service was welcoming. the barista was very helpful in offering a suggestion, the cold brew with cold foam was delicious. I was worried it would be to sweet, I usually don't add sugar to coffee, she described it as a not to sweet complement/alternative to milk which was spot on. Im a fan of the coffee. The only down fall is Manhattan prices. read more

OK, so I am not a coffee snob, usually I am an equal opportunity caffeine addict, but since I was given a Disloyalty card (basically a card that sends you on a coffee scavenger hunt), I am now on a coffee hunt mission! I've already been to Gimme! coffee and this is the second stop on my tour de coffee. The baristas are super friendly, and even remembered my name when I was leaving the place. It has a nice community vibe to it. I had a small soy latte ($4) and it was my second cup for the day, so now the engine is well lubricated. Good coffee, no burnt taste and yumminess all around. They have wifi, but you get a code for only 30 minutes, so you can't like just loiter here for hours. But, I am sure if you needed more time, they would help. Nice coffee place, would definitely go back when I am in the area! read more

The Quick: High quality coffee and a nice spot to stop by. Lots of snack options in case you're looking for something sweet. Much better than a Starbucks as there is a more local vibe, even though it's a chain as well. read more

Birch Coffee - Iced chia latte. So good! - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

New location, same great products and service. This morning I finally tried the toasted almond tea and it was incredible. I've had their coffee before (at the Flatiron location), which was great in and of itself, but this iced tea takes the cake. I don't know how they make it, but it is unlike any other tea drink I've ever had. On a hot soupy day like today in NYC I definitely should've gotten the large instead of the small to go because by the time I reached the train I was already done with it! This is also the place where you want to take your coffee to go as it is a rather small cafe. The baristas were incredibly friendly here, too, so A+ for service. All, come here and have the iced tea. You won't regret it. read more

Birch Coffee - toasted almond tea (and donut from The Donut Pub around the corner) - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

Great service! They were very kind answering my questions with the alternative milks. I think I got hemp--it was alright, but not my absolute favorite. The seating is all high-tops I believe, which was fine with me but isn't very accessible to those living in disabled bodies. read more

This place is super adorable and what an amazing find! They have vegan pastry options and even serve soy and hemp milk (though it's not on their menu). I had the decaf almond tea and it smelled amazing along with tasting great. The staff were friendly and polite. They even do the leaf designs in their coffee much to my delight. My friends loved their cappuccino and cortado. Will return for sure! read more

The magpie = homemade pop tart. What the?!?? Light fruit jam, buttery flake crust and all sorts of sweet and savory deliciousness your mouth! I think I fell in love with pop tarts again, ma!
