a cup of coffee and a piece of cake
Berta B.

Came in to Ground Central during my trip to New York! I loved gluten free pastry and chai tea. The barrista was helped and friendly. I loved the inside of their coffee shop. It's so different than the coffee shops in my city which was fun. They have a couple of chairs and tables to sit and enjoy your drink or food. They have so many books to choose from. I didn't have time to read any but it's a good to have the option to read a book while you visit their location. It was a such a great experience that we went twice during our trip.

I enjoy their matcha- in plan americano form or in their lemonade form. Feels like good quality matcha. I'm not a coffee drinker so can't speak on that. My friend enjoys their drip coffee so I assume it's good.

Vanilla latte
Lindsay K.

We love ground central! We had been going every Friday for over a year for their vanilla latte Friday's. It was one of our favorite traditions before they sadly got rid of the special :( we still stop in every once in a while but miss our weekly deals. One thing to note is that there's an extra charge of 50 cents (I believe) to get a drink iced. Their other coffees are really good as well as their pastries. Huge fan of the chocolate chip cookies.

Soy latte is piping hot and delicious. Great deal with the $100 gift card for $75. Lots of pastries to choose from.

Chai tea latte (with almond milk)
Kai L.

The baristas here are amazing! I have been coming to this coffee shop for over a year, and they are so friendly! Even if I don't come for a while, they always remember my order, and the orders of my coworkers when I come by to pick up coffee. They have a 15% discount for NYU employees, and a 10% discount for friends and family. If you become a regular like me, get their gift card! They give you bonus amounts when you buy a $40 gift card (you get $50 added to the gift card). It also doubles up as a points card so after you have accumulated points, you can use your points instead of money to redeem coffee/pastry! There's both outdoor seating and indoor seating, so you can't go wrong coming here! You won't regret getting chai tea latte from here. It's my favorite!

The nitro cold brew here is very good and creamy. However, the iced mocha is just average. Service was extremely fast.

This might be one of the most beautifully curated bakeries I've ever been to. I was completely…read moreobsessed the second we walked in, especially with all of the desserts designed to look like actual fruit! Mango, blueberry, avocado, lemon - you name it, they somehow turned it into the cutest, most beautifully crafted pastry. Everything looked almost too pretty to eat... almost. We definitely tried more things than we probably needed to, but it was 100% worth it. The pastries weren't just beautiful either--they were genuinely delicious. We also tried a couple of their specialty lattes, which were really tasty and paired perfectly with all of the desserts. It was VERY busy when we visited, so definitely expect a crowd, but I completely understand the hype. The space is beautiful, the pastry cases are basically works of art, and there are so many things you'll want to try that it's almost impossible to choose. Honestly, this place would be dangerous if I lived nearby because I would be here WAY too often. Absolutely worth a visit, especially if you love pastries and desserts!

The new drink edition that just been launched (Flatiron location only) is -86 degrees Celcius Dirty is amazing. The cup came out from the freezer and then the coffee and milk were poured into it. If you can drink it in 1 minute, you unlock the ice cream in it. Every dessert felt like a little work of art. The presentation is exquisite, but what stayed with me most was the taste. The flavors are delicate, beautifully balanced, and clearly created with so much thought and care. Absolutely phenomenal from presentation to the very last bite.

Stopped by Daily Provisions to order breakfast on a Wednesday morning. There's seating indoors…read more(with low back stools) and seating out front (about four tables). I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

This is located door to Union Square Cafe and shares ownership. The service was meh, the coffee…read morewas okay, and the seating area was a bit discombobulated and needed some attention.

The Cardamom Latte (9/10) was almost perfect. I got it with oat milk, which made it nice and nutty…read more The espresso was on the lighter side, so I wished it had a richer, stronger espresso flavor, but it was still really satisfying and not too sweet. The Almond Croissant (7/10) had an amazing flaky crust, dense interior, and crispy almonds on top. Honestly, probably the best almond croissant I've had texture-wise, but I'm not a huge fan of almond paste in the middle, which is probably just because I'm not really an almond croissant person. The Cardamom Bun (8.5/10) was the best cardamom bun I've ever had!! The bread was super soft and pillowy, almost like a dinner roll, but the outside was caramelized and had so much cardamom flavor. It was perfectly sweet and I could genuinely eat so many of these. This one made me love cardamom buns, and I'm not sure if any others will top it. Vibes were a 9.5/10. The space felt like I was in a cafe in Japan. Service was fine.

You'll feel badass just waiting in line tbh. 2. It's busy...most of the time. Went at 5pm on a Sat and yeah, packed house. BUT! The line moved quickly. 3. The pain au chocolat was the freshest I've ever had. Flaky, airy deliciousness. 4. The espresso ganache cookie is insanely good. The contrast of the chewy base with the lush center was such a fun combo! 5. Wasn't impressed by their cardomom bun but that's okay - the other pastries were delish.
