We came on a weekend and it was relatively empty. The service was fast and friendly. I got a latte which was a bit bitter and didn't have a strong coffee taste. There are about 6 tables and free wifi, but the tables are on the smaller side and bolted to the ground a bit too close to the booth. I would come back if I needed a spot to work since it wasn't too busy, but I wasn't a huge fan of the coffee. read more

This is a nice stop as you're walking around midtown. I can see how it would be good for coworking op too given the Wi-Fi and outlets. Something that I really appreciate is when coffee shops provide simple syrup for customers to add as per their own liking, which Kilogram does. Simple syrup is much preferred over granulated sugar, which sinks to the bottom and doesn't mix easily. The coffee was decent. We ordered an espresso with condensed milk and a latte with lavender syrup. I actually thought the almond croissant was the best offering -- really buttery and flakey. read more

The baristas here were nice and friendly and the owner and I had a nice conversation about coffee beans and our preferences. Apparently, I have hippie coffee taste since I like light roasts, haha. The interior was clean and they sell a couple blends here (medium and medium-dark roasts). STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE - 5.88 The strawberry flavor was very subtle and so was the matcha. I enjoyed the iced latte drink but would have wanted stronger flavors of both matcha and strawberry. Good combination, though. Too much cream on the top made the drink less enjoyable for me. The drink was a 3/5 but the friendly service bumped my entire experience to a 4/5. read more

Where Ninth St Espresso once lived comes Kilogram a snazzy coffee joint using Brooklyn coffee and tea. It's new pseudo tropical design feels welcoming. With new hotels opening on the block hopefully Kilogram lasts a long time. Bought Brooklyn beans to go- $16 read more

Tucked away on 29th street between 7th and 8th avenues, Kilogram is a new quiet spot attached to a residential building that brings great coffee and baked goods to an otherwise nondescript block. With beans from local, small- batch Brooklyn roaster BKG Coffee, their 100% Arabica coffee beans taste great as an espresso alone or in milk drinks such as lattes or cortados. The barista was super helpful, service was quick, and the ambience is very intimate and relaxed with lots of seating for twos. They're aiming to get a beer and wine license as well. I'm looking forward to coming back as their menu continues to expand. read more

Solid cup of coffee. There's a decent amount of seating inside, with a pretty cozy ambiance, so definitely feels like a spot where you can settle down for some morning work. I got a cortado, and it was good. Flavors were a bit muted, and nothing in particular stood out to me, but definitely would come back if in the area wanting a caffeine hit! read more

Cute and quiet cafe with good coffee! The storefront is a little hidden and they mostly serve to-go orders, so even though there are only a few small tables inside it's likely that you'll be able to find an open table. They also have outlets available which is a huge plus! Service was friendly and my lavender latte was great and relatively affordable ($5.50). I asked the barista to go light on the syrup and she was very accommodating. Will be back! read more

Great, new hidden gem in midtown, and I selfishly hope it stays that way, but I know it won't! The coffee is excellent; I got a hot latte with honey and regular milk (no soy or 2%) and the price was fair, too. The service was so nice; the guy manning the counter was friendly when I was ordering and was cool with me staying there for hours, even though he did not have to be! The ambiance is elegant and modern, but cozy and welcoming. They've managed to put in as many seats as possible in the space, with lots of outlets and strong WiFi, as well. The owner and manager were there separately, and they both chatted it up with me. There's a bathroom down the hall, too. Oh and they're getting their liquor license, so it looks to be a buzzing place in the evenings soon. Overall, excellent new addition to the area and I hope they thrive! read more

Lovely little coffee shop. I'm a tea drinker and they had a great assortment of options. The seating is super comfortable and there are several outlets below for charging your devices. It's not loud or overly crowded, and the baristas were really helpful and welcoming. It was the perfect place for me to warm up and wait out the rain before heading to the airport. Will be back next time I'm in town! Thank you! read more

Beautifully decorated small cafe near Penn Station. The interior designer really did a great job. The finishes make you feel like you entered another decade. The food and coffee itself isn't great. It might be because of the milk they used but my iced vanilla oat milk latte was borderline good. The vanilla flavoring is the same standard flavoring Starbucks or other non-speciality cafes use. There is no depth to the vanilla and it tastes artificial. The oat milk they use is too watery and not rich enough to complement the taste of the espresso. As for the dessert, the chocolate chip cookie is very soft but is slightly strange in chew. Also, it is very sweet for a cookie (which may work for others but does not work for me). There are some window seats as well as some seats with tables in the back but I'm not sure if there are restrooms as it shares the entrance with a hotel/apartment. read more

Stopped in for the first time and tried the Kilo Espresso and the Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte. Both were top notch! One of the best coffee spots Ive tried in a while read more

Small shop with wifi, outlets, bathroom, and seating for parties of 2! I've been here at least 5 times since they opened, and they've never disappointed. Their cappuccino is one of the best I've had among coffee shops, and the staff are always super friendly and accommodating. They also offer a pastries, including apple danish, croissants, pound cake-type breads. read more

The sepia reflections of five or so office workers streak across the dark storefront window. One streak solidifies into a woman as the rest move on. Her fingers comb strands of frail black hair out of her eyes as she squints into the window. There is just enough light outside still that the glass is opaque and she can only see her vague silhouette between heavy green curtains. Her blue dress flutters against her calves as a boy on a skateboard skids past. She glances down at the gold-embossed sign, 'Kilogram café,' and thinks, good enough. She just needs a place to sit and wait. She opens the door as someone pushes a heavy garment rack over the pavement behind her. The noisy clanking diminishes as soon as the door closes, the worker and his cargo off to some anonymous fabric-strewn factory in the garment district. She does a double take once she is inside. Green and brown dot her view and she wonders if she stepped inside a Starbucks by accident. But there are no rickety tables, plastic green straws, or espresso machines screeching over loud conversation. She likes how small and quiet the café is instead, how the barista's bar extends across the middle of the room like an arm shielding the tables behind it, how the green of the tables and seats is a deep unabashed emerald, glowing under the yellow lights. Beveled glasses and green teacups glisten on the shelves. She lowers her backpack, holding the top handle with two hands. She presses her lips into a line as she considers the dark purple night ahead of her, imagines sitting across from her daughter in one hour, who will have taken the train here three hours just to see her. Her daughter will complain that she needs to stop drinking coffee, especially so late, because of some paranoid ideas she has about caffeine. But she needs this. Her head pulses. She feels the lines in her face deepen, her hair grow frizzier. It's fine if the night ends with her sleepless again. She wants to enjoy dinner with her daughter. After getting her coffee from one of the two workers behind the bar, she takes a spot on the green bench in the back of the room. She lifts the gold handle of the cup and puts it to her cheek until her skin blushes under the heat. It smells pleasantly chocolatey and bitter. There are half circles under her eyes. The truth is that she hadn't slept last night again. She lays back against the bench. It is quiet, the air unbroken by the jazz playing from the speakers. There are two other customers, one sitting by the counter in front of the window reading a book, the other one two tables away from her, typing steadfastly into their computer. She texts her daughter where she is and puts her phone down. She worries about how soft her daughter is, more strait-laced and afraid than she had ever been. She wishes that her daughter had stayed in the city, not just to be near her, but also so that she could remain close to the world instead of hidden in a house in a silent sunny neighborhood. She knows that she had accidentally helped mold her daughter this way. When her daughter was born, she was so stunned by the life in her hands and loved her fragility so dearly that she worried, uncharacteristically, for her until she saw her anxious face reflected in her daughter's. By then, it was too late. As she stares at the black lines slicing through the green and gold marble pattern of the table in front of her, she tells herself that she doesn't know her daughter and never will. Her daughter might not be as soft as she sees her to be. Her heart hurts anyway. It's aggravating. She thinks she's too old for her heart to break over her daughter, but it's only on the rare days of the year when she sees her that these thoughts roil inside of her. She decides to watch a video for the next hour and rests her temple on her palm. Her eyes close. In her dream, she is ladling soup out of a large bowl at the center of a green table and pushes it over to her daughter. Her daughter's face is a blur. She squints. Then her daughter is on her lap. She is a small child. Her hair is in a fluffy braid that smells strongly of oriental medicine. The scent is so incongruous that she wakes up. As she opens her eyes, she realizes it is the scent of the shampoo that she grew up with. Her daughter had never used it. She becomes aware of where she is. She is nestled like a regular in a soft crevice of the café she has never visited before. She lets her frizzy hair fall over her face. Her lips are slightly open, the lines around her mouth less prominent. She checks the time on her phone. After finishing the last sips of coffee in her cup, cool enough now to bite the tip of her tongue with unpleasant bitterness, she stands and leaves. She appears ready for whatever the night holds. read more

Friendly service. Got a tea that was pretty much tasteless. They have limited food choices--2 types of croissants and a cookie basically. Worth going to for its modern, chic decor and ambiance. read more

Great coffee, friendly service and ambiance. Wi-Fi connection is also strong. Highly recommend this place!

I love the location of this cafe and how it offers a quiet and peaceful environment if you want to bring your work here. The modern interior design is very tasteful and makes the place look great. Given these pros, it was disappointing to see how the ice vanilla latte I ordered was pretty bad. I'm an iced latte enthusiast and have tried a lot of good and bad ice lattes. The part that made the latte bad here is how the ice was 90% melted and bits of it were just floating on the surface of the drink when it came out. Needless to say, the ice drink was lukewarm. This usually happens when you intend to make a hot latte and then realize the order was ice instead of hot, so you hastily add ice to it. In my experience when that happens, the barista throws out the hot latte and starts making a new iced one. Not sure whether the barista made this mistake and tried to cover it up by adding ice at the end instead of remaking the drink, but it was not a great experience drinking the lukewarm latte. read more

A hidden gem, to find for sure in Chelsea! Kilogram is a nice, cozy spot that surprisingly is quiet and comfortable (save for the music they play, which helps fit the chill atmosphere) to either relax from walking around NYC, or do some side work on your laptop. The drinks are pretty good, and the treats are solid. Gen, the barista is a cool and chill person and knows how to make your lattes the way you like them. If you live around the area or are traveling to or from Penn Station, I recommend stopping by here for a quick drink and show some support to this small, cozy coffee shop! Bonus: They even have cocktails here if you're looking for something more spirit forward! Ask for an espresso martini! 10/10 would come back again. read more
