New smaller location. Has delicious pour overs ($15+) including a Swiss water decaf pour over which is hard to find! Favorite cafe to hang out in the hood.

Love this chic modern coffee shop! Super pretty and I love the deconstructed latte...super cool!

Brandon Y.

Really great pour over selection in hell's kitchen! Not many places can match their selection. I was a big fan of their Janson lot 950 gesha. They also price their coffee reasonably compared to other shops. Alexa their barista provided great service. Ambiance is more fast casual less slow bar but they're more than willing to let you stay should you want to. Would recommend

Pandan Latte & Strawberry Matcha Latte

Coffee project has a lot of tasty drink and food options, I haven't been disappointed with anything I've ordered yet! The ambiance of Coffee Project is very cute and trendy. There is usually a line around busy hours and you may need to wait for a seat.

Their latte is super smooth and rich! Its latte art is also beautifully done!

Love their coffee! I had a latte this time and everything is perfect! Barista is very professional and so friendly. However, the cafe is not that spacious ( nice location though!) The number of the seats is limited. Not the place for a large group. This cafe is very cozy and the place for real coffee lovers I want to try their pour over next time.

Big fan of this coffee shop. It's located around the corner of 9th ave and has a neat vibe to it. Like every coffee shop it has the needed bathroom (that is well maintained), wifi (not sure if they leave it on during weekends but both the times I visited were on weekday mornings), and solid coffee. They rotate between a few seasonal drinks which I always appreciate. I tried the pandan latte and was honestly a big fan. It was not too sweet and the pandan flavor complements the coffee nicely. The service is quite nice and they do a good job maintaining the cleanliness of the store. They also have a kitchen and a few pastries. I tried the blueberry muffin and it was delightful. The staff will also warm up pastries for you if requested. When you walk inside they have a few tables on the right where you can use laptops and work, and on the inside there are 3-4 tables for small groups that the store will request you avoid using laptops on. Big fan and if there is seating it is a decent place for a work from home day at a cafe.

Cute little coffee shop tucked away. It's not very noticeable but glad I discovered it. Walking in, it's easy to order at the counter - depends when you go it can get pretty busy. There's definitely a fair share of tables inside the place and lighting is really comfortable. This coffee place doesn't have loud music playing at others and it makes it easy to have conversations. The coffee and food were decent - classic NYC prices but definitely a comfortable place to go!

Dry ass scone
Harry R.

So I asked if the scone was good. "Yes it's good." Ok I'll take the scone. They heat it up. I take a bite. I can only think that the Sahara Desert feels like what this scone tastes like. "Dry" is such a limited word for the consistency of this scone. I ask for butter. "We don't have butter." But you have a kitchen, with cooks and other entrees. Don't they use butter for those? Jam? "We don't have jam." Really? I bet there's jam here somewhere. Yes I'm old. Yes I long for a coffee shop counter that gave you generous helpings of butter pats and jam pats. Yes I'm cranky and tired of robotic, unsmiling people in horrific, futuristic "coffee projects". I don't want a coffee project. I just want coffee and a scone that doesn't taste like sandpaper and a pat of butter. I'll settle for margarine.

I felt welcomed by the barista with red hair--such a warm and friendly vibe. The space is on the smaller side, but the elevated interior design makes it cozy and stylish. Pandan Latte ($7.50) + Oat Milk ($1): Hands down, the best pandan latte I've ever had. Most pandan coffees I've tried are either too sweet or too subtle, but this one hit the perfect level of sweetness. The balance of coffee, milk, and pandan flavor was spot-on, with an impeccable ratio. Love, love, love! Highly recommend.

Sesame Latte
Stephanie C.

I am not easily impressed by coffee shops as I have an extensive setup at home. Coffee project thoroughly impressed me. My flat white was complex in flavor and that's hard to do with espresso and milk, let alone in a cafe setting. Their dial in was legit. The baristas were attentive and friendly. Great place!

Pandan latte
Julia X.

Came here to try to work a bit in the afternoon. There are limited tables that allow laptops inside, but thankfully someone left pretty quickly. The person working the counter also said that around that time, 1pm ish, the tables come and go very fast, so if you wait a little you'll probably get a table soon. The tables outside were mostly free, though, and all of them had outlets nearby. Tables are quite small and others are working and taking calls and having conversations and outlets are shared between tables, so it can be quite loud and there's a chance there isn't a free outlet. I didn't see what it was like at the outdoor tables, but I assume roughly the same thing, plus no AC :') The pandan coffee was pretty tasty and kept me going through the afternoon, so no complaints there! It also wasn't too sweet; would order again. They also have a nice selection of food and pastries and other interesting coffee drinks. Overall would definitely stop by again if I needed a cafe in the area to work at, but maybe I'd try one of the outdoor tables if I had a ton of meetings.

Iced Chai and Latte
Ruby N.

Coffee Project has such a classy vibe to the store, while entering you see an organized space with tables and a seating area. There was also this beautiful installation that I saw when I looked up. This is a super cute cafe to loiter with friends or to get work done (limited tables for computers). They served typical cafe drinks that were averagely priced. I got a chai latte with oatmilk and it was a little sweeter than expected but was still good. The iced latte was super good and refreshing.

Almond croissant and iced latte with my tiny violin
Mona B.

Overall: Love this place from the ambience to the coffee and baked goods to the staff. Loved it so much I came back the next day. Ambience: It looks like a small place but it is a decent size. I love that it is accessible with a ramp. The aesthetic is beautiful - modern and minimalist. The big windows are great for natural light and there are separate spaces for people who just want to sit and chat vs those that want to stay for a bit. Service: Friendly and quick. Just some food wholesome folks. Food: Try the almond croissant! They warm up all their baked goods. I tried the almond and chocolate croissants but the almond is superior! They don't make the food themselves but the coffee they do. I tried the latte, macchiatos, and the Kickass London Fog. All are delicious! Please come here!

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

The inside looked really nice with some nice pictures on the wall and lots of space for seating. They also have a downstairs that has a bar and plenty of seating. We just ordered a few Aperol Spritz and chilled at the bar. The drinks tasted really good. Hard to mess that up but you never know. They had music playing from something in the background which was really good. The bartenders were alway asking if we needed anything so that was good. We didn't order any food but the plates that we saw looked really good. Definitely a place you need to check out if your looking for a cool spot to drink and get some bites to eat. They also have a good happy hour and from the looks of it a nice brunch with bottomless mimosas. Have to come check out this place if your in town or live near the area.

My objective was to find a bar for happy hour in Midtown East. In my rarely treading over to the…read moreeast side these days and wanting to avoid Grand Central I searched a little through google maps what was nearby Murray Bro Hill/Kips Bay area and this spot popped up and I remembered wanting to check out their brunch but never did. It's $25 for unlimited drinks plus food by the way. Which is sad is a deal these days. Anyway, their happy hour is solid enough for a Monday and was meeting up with a friend I hadn't seen in over a year. Place is actually very cute. There are no tvs which I appreciate and the paneling of the walls and decor with all the flowers is quite tasteful. Happy hour deals 4-7pm Mon-Fri & all night Thursday apparently: Aperol Spritz $8, Hugo Spritz $9, Paloma $10, Mules $9, Draft Beers (except Guinness) $7, House Wine $9. As well as 2 Appetizer Bites for $19.95. Not the best but not the worst. I'm normally not a Spritz kind of gal. I think watering down prosecco or wine is heinous. But it was a Monday and I didn't exactly feel like powering down into happy hour so Aperol Spritz it was which switched to a Modelo later. It was the perfect drink situation on a god awful hot as hell day. We also ordered the fish tacos and what initially were the curry fries but they brought out the Greek fries. I wasn't mad about it. Honestly was torn between the two and I don't send food back unless something really bad happened. But it was essentially a side of Caesar salad dressing with feta cheese and generous amount of herbs on a very sparse and frugal amount of crispy standard cut fries. Now I know why it's a 2 for $20 deal. The tacos were 3 in an order which I guess is typical. They weren't bad but nothing stood out to me. I'd come for the drinks or try something else on the menu.

What's new? Is that a VEGAN Pastrami and Ruben on the menu?!? Holy Cow who did not have to lay…read moredown their life?! Wow. I never thought I'd see the day a Jewish Deli would consider some vegan dupes of classics - but wow - way to be on trend and health conscious to help cut down the heart disease and cholesterol meds. I'm here for it and couldn't believe my Vegan friend would ever get a chance to get close to the classic NY Jewish Deli experience in a vegan context. To be clear- they still serve up the real stuff too- but I just need to put it out there how rare and kind of amazing this is for an OG spot like Sarge's. It's been 9 years since my last review here and- wow, we've come full circle. Also- congrats to making it through and out the other side of the pandemic- many businesses did not, but it's nice to see an institution like Sarge's survive a serious hit like that, it means the community cares too. What's still good- OG 1960's-70's diner vibes and booths- a place your grands can feel at home, but very well maintained and clean. Portions that send you home full even if you're just ordering soup or a side of French fries- you will not leave this grand's house hungry ya'll. Classic flavors that come from recipes before artificial flavors were a thing- made with real bone broths that will keep your hair, skin, and nails shiny with collagen.

There are certain things worth traveling for: beautiful scenery, great pizza, and an exceptional…read morepastrami sandwich. If you can get that pastrami without navigating a queue organized like an airport security checkpoint, all the better. Welcome to Sarge's Delicatessen. Founded at 548 Third Avenue in 1964, Sarge's was opened by Abe Katz, a retired NYPD sergeant who decided feeding Midtown was preferable to actual retirement. Facing the obvious naming dilemma presented by a certain famous delicatessen on Houston Street, he smartly opted to name the business after his police rank rather than his surname. Over six decades later, the vinyl booths, wood-paneled walls, and classic diner atmosphere remain intact. My family and I stopped in for dinner around 6:00 PM on a Friday. The place was surprisingly uncrowded, and we were seated immediately without the typical Manhattan routine of checking in with three hosts and standing on the sidewalk until your appetite dies. Service was prompt, friendly, and completely devoid of drama. As for the food, we ordered enough to conduct a proper survey of the menu. I had a pastrami Reuben, while my wife ordered the beef barley soup and a half pastrami sandwich. Our oldest son chose the matzo ball soup and a half salami, while our youngest went with a hot dog. We added fries for the table, along with a Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray soda and a classic chocolate egg cream. Everything was outstanding. The matzo ball soup was deeply comforting, the hot dog had a proper snap, and the fries vanished with impressive efficiency. Even the house pickles and coleslaw tasted fresh and intentional, rather than serving as decorative plate filler. Then there is the pastrami itself. Saying this in print can cause traditionalists to question your judgment, but I believe Sarge's pastrami is better than Katz's. Quite a bit so. Katz's has the international fame, the endless lines, and a chaotic ticket system that feels like a live-action hunger game where everyone is competing for cured meat. Sarge's pastrami, cured in-house, is sliced thin, carries a better ratio of fat to lean, and delivers a richer spice profile in every bite. You get elite pastrami without the surrounding circus. Sarge's offers extraordinary food, comfortable booths, and an authentic 1960s atmosphere. If someone tells you that you have to stand in line on Houston Street to get the best pastrami in New York, smile politely, thank them for the advice, and head to Murray Hill instead.
