((3.75 stars) convenient to Union Square when you need some caffeine or calories. decent coffee when you're on the move--got an Americano to go, here. offers a fair amount of eats. a lot of seating in a modern clean cafe setting if you need to catch your breath, read a book, or do some work. NYU-ish crowd since it's near one of their dorms, i think. friendly service. read more

Yesterday after two errands and quite drenched, I needed a hot cappuccino and a nibble. So I ordered hot coffee and a blueberry muffin. The coffee was warming. While the muffin was tender, it had very few berries in it. It would have been tastier with more blueberries in it. Cupsoul Cafe is a neighborhood cafe with regulars and lots of school children coming to have a snack. A gender neutral restroom with a code is the here. read more

In a neighborhood that's full of National and local coffee chains of coffee shops, this place is a gem. The service is genuinely warm and welcoming, the food is made fresh (I watched these guys *craft* sandwiches, not just make them), and the space is bright and cherry with a lot of seating for us looking for workspace. The music is chill, and jazzy (this Django Rhinehart) and not too loud. Really dig the vibe here... (The one drawback is with so many people on their computers- including me - the wifi is a little slow) read more

I really wanted to like this place. The music was good, atmosphere was cool! Coffee wasn't too good, and it was a bit loud here. And pricey( I know what isn't pricey in nyc!) Their donuts and pastries looked great but I did not try any as due to my allergies (also wasn't hungry). The staff was friendly. Also the bathroom was one of the cleanest coffee shop bathrooms I have been in. read more

this cafe is a cheerful little oasis! such a pleasantly designed space to have a cup of coffee, enjoy a pastry sandwich, and even work from. The staff here is next level, friendly and kind. The menu is 10/10. Their pastries are to die for, from the croissants to the donuts to the cheese pies, it is all delicious. I have a hard time picking just one most days. I love that there is some outdoor seating on the quiet side of the corner. Perfect for getting some fresh air and people watching. VERY dog friendly as well!! They love to say hello to your four legged friend and give treats :) read more

Pretty standard coffee shop, kinda pricey for the coffee sizes but it's really cute inside and there's a good amount of seating!

I love CupSoul. This is my Sunday morning stop in between my street outreach with the homeless. I start my day at 4:30 or 5:30, and then take a 15 minute break at 9:45 on that day to grab a cortada and a cappuccino. Sometimes I'll grab a pastry (awesome and delish). I often have my volunteers meet me there because it's such a nice way to kick off that part of my day. The staff is awesome. Friendly. And they absolutely love their clientele, from the babies to the dogs to the humans. It's just an all round great place to start a day or stop off in the middle of it to regroup. read more

Service was extremely fast, although it also wasn't too busy when I arrived. I ordered a fairly regular sandwich, but the quality of ingredients did exceeded my expectations. Iced latte was also good. read more

Great new coffee shop addition to the Gramercy area. The Greek coffee place is pretty much what the neighborhood needed. Here are the highlights: 1. Good coffee but expect lower liquid amounts for the cappucino (which is my go-to) 2. Great and friendly staff 3. Array of pastries and Greek savory treats (including all of the yogurt...) 4. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors 5. A few Greek imported pantry staples are available for purchase Top family-owned coffee stop in the area that has been a go-to for a lot of locals. If you can stop by, definitely do it! read more

Tried this donut and I honestly forgot the name of the donut, but I do know that it was one of the best donuts I've ever had. It tasted like an Oreo cookie. The staff were helpful enough in telling me that I made a good selection. I'm visiting from Los Angeles, so I'm trying to see as much of New York as I can. read more

I'm giving an update to this review. All the good things about this cafe still stands, the friendly and professional staff, the impeccable decor, the perfect vibe with music that is not too loud or brash, instead it is great tasteful music with just the right amount of volume, but the internet connection has been the slowest I've experienced in almost any cafe and that weakness reflects this latest score. read more

I happened to be in the area and stopped into the CupSoul Cafe. I loved its modern, clean look and its display cases highlighting decadent pastries and fresh food items, like salads and sandwiches. I only picked up a Turmeric Almond Milk Latte, but it was by far one of, if not the, best renditions I had ever had. It was creamy, spicy, and soothing. I would definitely go back! read more

A cute enough place: The café was completely decked out for Halloween, the staff was friendly, and there were a number of area residents who came in with their dogs who seemed to know each other. My Americano was weak (they gave no discounts for people who brought in reusable mugs), and though the place was clean and bright, the rubber seating was uncomfortable. The muzak made it impossible to read so I left. read more

A modern and cozy cafe close to union square. It is fairly big inside with many tables, would be a great place to enjoy your coffee while work on your laptop. The ham and cheese croissant and iced latte both are delicious, staff are really friendly as well. Definitely will be one of my go to cafes read more

I was looking for a cafe/bakery near Union square that wasn't a big chain and found this on Google maps. The inside is big though it was full the whole time I was there (noon on a Sunday). The cappuccino I got was delectable and i really enjoyed the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was flaky and buttery and left me wishing I had tried more of their pastries. The staff was very friendly. They have an A health rating. read more

I want to give this cafe a higher review, but I really did not like my cappucino. It was really watery, and it didn't have the consistency of a normal cappucino. I appreciate that the barista was really nice and helped me pick a drink I would like, but I just don't think the cappucino was for me. I noticed this cafe is really popular so I'm sure they have a lot of food and drinks that are really good, but I personally did not have the best experience. I would give CupSoul the benefit of the doubt and visit and try their yummy-looking pastries. read more

The place looks really nice with marble stones and pink chairs so it's a good place to relax and take photos. The staffs are really nice and pastries look appealing too but the croissant tasted so much worse as compared to its looks - not flakey at all. The cold brew ordered also just tasted okay as well. I guess style over substance? read more

5 stars for the creme filled croissants! I can't speak for the coffee or anything else as I came in specifically for the crema croissants which I'd been eyeing for many months. This is not a cheap pastry ($6.26) but it is huge and they do not skimp on the vanilla custard! I'd like to come back another day when they first open to try them fresh? With a cup of soul. read more

Was happy to see turmeric latte on the menu here. I ordered one with oat milk. To go. It was the perfect temperature and level of sweetness. There is a restroom here. Staff has cute uniforms. $3.50 donuts (at time of writing) are available. Roomy, clean, nice vibes. Worth a pop in if in the area. read more

I heard from my friend that this place is a great place to work from and so I had to check it out. It definitely is!! There is relaxing jazz music playing, plenty of tables, as well as bakery items and sandwiches. The ambiance is beautiful, especially since it was decorated for Christmas. The coffee was great and the service was also superb. I'll be back! read more

I was so excited for their opening I visited the cafe within hours of their official opening. The exterior is wicked cute but their interior is bright, spacious, and super modern. So far I've tried their muffins and lattes. The vanilla latte is really delicious. Their muffins are huge and really tasty. The workers are still learning but very kind and the owner is also a pleasure to talk to. I can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

The thing that stuck out to me was the greek pastries, donuts, and delicous looking bunt cakes. They had friendly staff who greeted us right off the bat. The inside is modern and they had a bunch of tables. Loved the vibe. The tea was good and the pastries were awesome. Come check this place out! 5 stars. read more

I go to CupSoul regularly for a coffee and pastry. Yesterday, I went and ordered a latte, a donut and a coffee for my elderly father, who - upon attempting to make room for milk - spilled out a little too much of his cup. When I explained the situation to the barista and asked her if she wouldn't mind topping him off she said she'd have to charge him for another coffee. Apparently 5 oz of black coffee is too much to spare for a regular customer with an old man in tow. Great customer service . read more

Mediocre taste and expensive. Stopped by one morning and got a iced chai laté and an almond croissant. The drink was overly sweet and mostly ice, disappointing for an $7 drink. The almond croissant looked very appealing but was dry and lacked the soft almond center you look forward to in almond croissants. Seemed as the pastries were a couple days old. Very aesthetically pleasing cafe with the art wall. read more

CupSoul Cafe - Iced Chai Latte and Almond Croissant - Cafes Near Me - New York, New York

This place is excellent. The spanakopita, koukouri, and other Greek staples are some of the best I've had outside of Greece. Oh and when you order a cappuccino, it's the actual size a cappuccino is supposed to be. Americans are used to everything being oversized. If you want something bigger, order a Latte and don't complain about it. The non Greek Pastries are delicious as well. I also got some Greek fig jam to take home and it was delicious. Ignore the naysayers on here. There is a reason why this place is so packed with people all the time. Because it's excellent. read more

An instant neighborhood institution. The only thing better than their coffee is their staff.

Wow! This beautiful cafe just opened in my neighborhood. Came in to get a latte and one almond croissant and it was phenomenal! Coffee was super tasty and almond croissant was super delicious and fresh. Super super clean and the staff was so friendly and very welcoming. Definitely recommended this cafe. You have to visit and give it a try. read more

Ok,I like this place. The coffee is good and the pastries are excellent. But they refuse to use ceramic cups. I don't know about you all, but coffee tastes better in ceramic and any place that doesn't serve their coffee in it is doing their chief product a disservice. Today I asked the owner why they don't use ceramic and she gave me a song and dance about the extra expense, which is total bull. When I raised the environmental concern she tried to gaslight me about how ceramic and paper are the same. Infuriating! I'm linking to this article in the hope that she and others will educate themselves on the subject. https://ecorate.eco/blog/paper-cup-vs-mug-whats-better-for-the-environment#:~:text=That's%20just%204%25%20of%20our,That's%2025%20times%20better! read more
