Bar seating

Iced Coffee was not that great but the location and service is. Coffee had a bit of a bitter flavor, and couldn't really taste the vanilla in the syrup. Loved the location of this place - great view

Menu

This is one of the first places you'll get to at 57 market. You'll see that there's about 20 different restaurants and cafés. This one seems legitimate. It's got a lot of fresh mixes not just coffee, friendly service, big bar facing the Hudson that you can sit down just behind the bar check it out great place to meet a lot acquired and then Chelsea market.

Lychee perilla lemonade was light and refreshing, not too sweet. Also tasted the Sparrow - espresso poured into lemon soda - and liked that too.

Stopped by this spot since it was the only specialty coffee place near the pier, floating island, and the food court area. Tried both the coffee and matcha--both were just okay. Both drinks were pretty sweet and lacked strong flavor, plus got a bit watered down from the ice. Located inside the food court, so there's plenty of space to sit and relax. It can get busy, but it was pretty empty when we visited. Overall, convenient if you're in the area, but the drinks didn't really stand out.

Matcha

Right on the pier. Authentic matcha - could've been stronger and less milky but still delicious. The perfect spot to chill and soak in the view

Just tried their cappuccino with oat milk but it was perfect! Foam, coffee strength, taste, temperature etc. great location and service.

Coffee

Better customer service! Located indoors around so many other eateries, this place is so adorable. I feel the staff lack customer service and good training. Little small cares can make a huge difference in a customer's experience. To give me a cup with another customer's name scratched out is tacky! The coffee was filled to the top and no room for nothing else, since the tops are on another counter ~ hot coffee splashed on my hand. (((Yikes))) and the other counter has no trash can that you can pour the extra into. The coffee taste was meh ~ nothing special

Blackbird latte
Gab G.

This location of Bird and Branch is inside the Market 57 food hall on the water (I've also been to the theater district one). I tried The Blackbird latte, which was unusual and pretty tasty. Also, expensive. Not sure I'd walk all the way over here just for coffee, but if you're craving it while already in the food hall, it's a good option.

I was so wowed by our lattes from the other Bird and Branch location stopped here too. This location is great within Chelsea Pier with tons of food options in the food court. Ordered the mockingbird which is incredible. I think I still like the blackbird the most. That one totally blew my mind! Almond macadamia milk is so unique and absolutely delicious! I can't recommend this place enough! Note some drinks contain honey.

Iced latte
Simone E.

Was here on Thursday very briefly. Walking up, there wasn't a line. I was immediately greeted with a smile. I'm not a huge coffee drinker (I stick to what I know), but the woman there made everything easy. I ended up getting an iced vanilla latte with oat/macadamia nut milk. It was really delicious! It wasn't too sweet and the coffee wasn't too strong! I would recommend coming back here for a cup of coffee!

Blackbird
Samantha D.

I've been wanting to try Bird and Branch for a while, and I finally got a chance to try it at their newer location. I do appreciate that they have rotating seasonal drinks. I believe I got a drink that was on their permanent menu. I tried the blackbird. While I liked the blackberry, I didn't appreciate the choice of milk. I think almond milk generally overpowers a drink because it has a stronger taste. Otherwise, I enjoyed the coffee. It was much needed caffeine.

Iced coffee with a view!
Michelle K.

Very good coffee and what makes it even more special is stepping right outside and there's a gorgeous view! Right on Pier 57! The coffee goes down so smoothly. Highly recommend for all my coffee lovers

Lychee perilla lemonade
Marissa L.

I was looking for a cold refreshing drink on a hot summer afternoon, and the lychee perilla lemonade here was just right. I'd been to the Bird & Branch in Hell's Kitchen before for snacks, but this was my first time picking up a drink (since I can't drink coffee), and I really liked the more unique additions to the lemonade. This location is in the food hall at Pier 57, so there is plenty of seating and great river and city views for enjoying your drinks.

BY FAR the best place to buy crystals in the city. I started stopping in on lunch break because…read moreit's near my work. When I got into crystals I figured there'd be better places than this hole in the wall in the heart of midtown but after going to many shops in the city I can say hands down this is the BEST. The quality and size of crystals you can find for very reasonable prices is unmatched. You can find large, palm-sized stones for $5-$15 - even the $5 ones are quite large compared to most places. In the back they have bins of pocket sized stones for $1.50 - but even these can be larger than you'd expect. I've found black tourmaline, pyrite, aquamarine, and many others back there. When compared to the sizes offered for this price at other places it's an incredible deal. I commented on this to the woman who works there and she told me the place is a non-profit. It's near my work so I pop in often and am pleasantly surprised to see new crystals in stock regularly. The vibe there seems a bit stuck in time - this is what new age was before it became fashionable. However the heart of this place and great selection keep me coming back.

I stoped in here being new to the world of meditation and crystals and personal power…read more The lady behind the counter was excellent at give it me insight and answered my questions. I felt very comfortable. I'm looking forward to making a return visit. The prices for merchandise looked very reasonable as well.

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
