    A-ok small coffee shop planted on East 14th Street. opened late Fall 2025. stopped here earlier this week for a Cortado coffee. the decor is cozy, bright, and superclean. there's a few seats if you decide to stay for a baked eat or a little bit of brewed caffeine. the Cortado i got was fine for the most part. it felt a bit bitter but i think that was the roast of the coffee not from the making of the Cortado, itself. service is friendly and pleasant. this place seems like a good place to get a coffee if you're in the neighborhood or looking for a place to enjoy some coffee with a book.

    The best hazelnut oat milk latte that I've ever consumed...in.my.life.

    I dropped in to grab a latte - got a hazelnut latte with oat milk. I do consider myself a connoisseur of lattes....and let me tell you this was hands down THE best latte that I've ever had.

    This is such a cute coffee shop that just opened. Great addition to this area on 14th Street. The person that works here is also very nice. They have a few pastries that look wonderful. I got a decaf iced cappuccino that is pretty tasty! If you are in the area definitely stop by. There are a few seats in here. 2 bar area stools and a bench like option with a few small tables. Also a plus they have outlets here to use for charging while enjoying your coffee and pastries!!

    This coffee shop is an absolute must-try -- and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood. The owner Ioànnis is so welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about coffee. The coffee is incredibly smooth and high-quality. I will be back enjoying my latte at their coffee bar. .

    Hands down one of the best coffee shops in the East Village. Ioannis Coffee Chef is the kind of spot you stumble into once and end up coming back every week. The coffee is next-level--you can tell they care about quality beans, proper espresso technique, and actually crafting every drink instead of just serving it. I ordered a flat white and it was one of the best I've had in NYC. The vibe is cozy, modern, and perfect whether you're grabbing a quick coffee to-go, meeting friends, or looking for a quiet place to work. They also have great pastries and breakfast items--everything feels fresh and made with intention. What makes this place stand out is the hospitality. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and Ioannis himself brings real passion to what he does. It feels like a small neighborhood café but with high-end, specialty-coffee quality. If you're searching for good coffee in NYC, specialty espresso in the East Village, or a local café with great food and wifi, this should be your next stop. Highly recommend!

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

    I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.
