Small coffee shop on UES. They have cookies from Funny Face and pastries from a bakery further uptown (I think). They had several seasonal drinks available. I tried an almond marzipan latte. It didn't have much flavor to it so I actually went back and asked for more syrup which they happily provided! read more

The Marathon Coffee establishment has an ideal layout. The indoor aesthetic is unmatched and has a rainy day, calm coffee shop vibe. The coffee decorations surround the customer with feelings of warmth and welcome. The service at this establishment is terrific. The accepting welcoming greeting of the baristas are quite like none other. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for, and the coffee is exceptional as well. Overall, I really enjoy my visits to the shop, they are active on socials as well! There is indoor and outdoor seating with a wonderful aesthetic. I would definitely return to this establishment many times over. I feel like I have not put enough stress on how kind the service was to me during my visit, they are extremely helpful and take your order with pride. The baristas are wonderful and the customers there are personable and able to converse (especially on how good their coffee is!). read more

Marathon coffee on the UES is on my weekly rotation! I come here very frequently and they have never let me down! From their drip to their cappuccino to their lemonade, signature drinks they have never served a bad drink here and I really appreciate it and the reason I keep coming back! The service is always fantastic and it never takes any time to get in and get out whatever I get that day! Get a funny face cookie while here they are GREAT! read more

Great coffee and fast and friendly service! I appreciated that the pumpkin spice wasn't overly sweet. read more

Okay, it's the little things in life that truly make your day better. Like this iced chai latte--I tried the iced matcha latte, and it was good, but it didn't hit the same way as the ICED CHAI!!! So, it's perfectly sweetened, and I always pair it with oat milk because, hello, why would you drink regular milk in 2023? Just kiddingggggg, I love dairy - but anyways, this cafe always hits the spot right after the gym/I'm not even exaggerating when I tell you that this is my favorite place ever to get an iced chai latte from. Marathon Cafe is my daily motivation to go to the gym because I always reward myself with their lovely refreshments afterwards! Not to mention, the lavender syrup they use is homemade --WOWWWW! read more

I love it here because they have pink coffee cup tops and it's a kind of think that you can make custom made for your Cadillac or convertible Chevy. Or it can look like Barbie pink as well. There is outdoor seating and two tables outside, and a little bit of seating on the inside. The latte was full of good foam, and the place had a CRUFFIN with strawberries, which were preserved and cheesecake and the filling was really good and sweet. There was also a lot of filling which was a great surprise. I always get so disappointed with dessert when the filling is a small dot but Marathon's cruffin had so much yummy filling. Friendly and sweet staff too! read more

Tiny locals neighborhood coffee joint which offers up a tasty cup of java. Nice and clean spot. Friendly service. No real seating other than a few seats by the small front window area. During nice weather they place a few tables on the sidewalk. Limited menu of pasty items and bagels also available. There is a holiday drink menu and the peppermint mocha hit the spot on a cold afternoon. Not a large menu overall but what they do offer is done well. Decently priced too. They also have a loyalty punch card. read more

So sad because the store is a super cute hole in the wall, and I absolutely love their branded cups for hot drinks. It's not in the photo, but the lid is like a light pastel PINK. THAT IS SO FUN. More places should have more colorful cups because it was so pretty with the light blue cup. But... this review is for the iced rose cardamom latte, which came recommended by the cashier as one of their new drinks. I generally love spiced, flavored, coffee, but this was just...bad. I am very sad about it. I couldn't tell if the coffee was good or not because I was so focused on the fact that the flavor was So. Bad. I'm talking from the MOMENT you take a sip to the experience of having it on your tongue, to the aftertaste. There's something not only bitter but also sour(??) about it. I just cannot un-recommend it enough. I'd be willing to give this place another shot just because this is one of so many drinks on the menu and I'm a ginormous sucker for cute packaging. read more

My friend recommended this place in the Upper East Side since it's quick and has reasonably priced drinks. I tried the spiced matcha latte, which was a fall special with matcha, honey, and cinnamon. I thought it was a great balance of sweetness and spice! There isn't too much variety in the menu, so I would only come here to get more of the basic coffee drinks. read more

What a cute little coffee shop! Good coffee, friendly service, and the lavender syrup is en point, flavorful but not too sweet. There isn't much seating inside, just enough for two at a counter table, and about three tables outside. No outlets inside, so this isn't the sort of place you'll want to work remotely from, but great for grabbing a latte on the go or for chatting outside when the weather is warmer. read more

Marathon Coffee has been open a while now. I've been visiting numerous times and always find the employees friendly and efficient. I've talked to the owner a couple of times. They are working on serving a hot food menu and bringing back the bagels and cream cheese. I'm looking forward to eating some breakfast with my coffee. I've got my favorite seat in the window. It's very clean both inside and outside. I'm raising the stars to five. It's my favorite coffee shop near home. Check out their Fall Menu. I like to get here early! read more

Love this coffee, especially the salted caramel latte. Nice balance of flavors, not too sweet, coffee flavor comes through and with a nice roasted taste to it. read more

I'm a big fan of Marathon Coffee though I haven't tried the coffee - just the matcha. Sometimes it feels like matcha and other teas are an afterthought at coffee shops and at marathon that's just not the case. I've had the spiced matcha latte with oat milk twice now and I'm obsessed. It's a great flavor that is lightly sweetened and has a holiday flavor to it with the cinnamon. Even when there's been a short line it only takes a few minutes to get my order and the service is friendly and welcoming. Plus they have a rewards card that you get stamped for a free drink after so many visits. read more

The coffee is great quality, but better if you enjoy americanos, black coffee etc not the sweeter kinds of speciality coffee though. The service is always great, the baristas are always so nice and I love the pink lids on the hot coffees!!! read more

Meh, this place is very mediocre for a third rail coffee shop. Coffee so so, no place to sit, slow staff and a few different baristas were just all around not the warmest (nor was their coffee--keep it warmer!). Better option than Starbucks, but I'd probably grab a cup from a cart over this. read more

Yum! I ordered a Chai with espresso and the mix they used had such a nice blend of spices. Cute restaurant and mugs, too; I would honestly continue coming just for the cups but luckily the coffee I tried was good, too. They had a nice selection of muffins and breakfast loafs (like Banana bread). Small space inside, though, so it's grab and go rather than a work area. Staff was super kind, too! read more

I ordered an iced vanilla oat milk latte. I watched her make it and by the color alone, said too myself "that's too much milk" and on my first sip my thought was confirmed. I took 2 sips and threw it out. It tasted like milk. just milk. no vanilla, no coffee. if your into that, go ahead and try it lol Also, to charge $6 for a SMALLL latte is insane lol especially when i could have made something better at home. Wouldn't try again. read more

I have been to just about every cafe in the area and my favorite oat latte so far has been from Marathon. The employees are friendly and the cafe itself is super cute. I also love that they have a punch card. read more

first time coming here great experience the staff member was so nice a friendly the coffee great and the cookie that i had was delicious

I've been here maybe 4 times now? Solid drip coffee (and I like strong, roasty Starbucks coffee so this is saying something -- something good IMO :) ). My boyfriend once tried some flavored latte and it was too sweet (but that's often the case with those -- maybe we should ask for less pumps of syrup or whatever they use next time). Food-wise I've had the veggie quiche twice and really liked it. Also the cups are really cute. Lol. Wish it was an even *slightly* bigger space so there could be more seating. They're always playing good music in there and I would love to stay a while and work, read, or chat with a friend. In any case, happy to have this place right by me! Definitely a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

Wanted something different for my usual Dunkin Donuts pick-me-up. I decided to come here in the morning and the place looks really nice and clean. However, the cappuccino I ordered was straight up a SCAM. Tasted terrible and the amount they give you for what you pay is absurd! $4.50 for half a cup. Sizes they serve are small and large. Ridiculous...I'm going to go back to my usual DD, I wanted to try something local but didn't meet expectations. In the picture I didn't take a sip. That's how much they gave. And it was not the best coffee I've had. read more

Nice looking place, however, my wife and i got an espresso and cortado and they were so bad we had to throw them out. It was late in the day and they tasted like burnt coffee. We think the machine needed cleaning. read more

The coffee was ok but a little watery. It was hot enough. Service was quick and pleasant.

A cute new little place! I got the matcha chai iced, a combination I've seen only at a few other places and can't resist when I do see it. It was tasty! The two baristas were friendly, fast, and kind. The space itself is pretty, looks modern, and has just enough space to grab a quick bite with a friend. I'll have to try their baked goods sometimes, but for now I'm really happy with it! read more

Marathon coffee has delicious lattes. Their espresso is smooth and lacks the acidic bite many cafes have. The owner and his staff are friendly. Delicious pastries too. Recommend the hazelnut mocha. Usually flavored drinks are so sweet and lack real flavor. This drink is perfectly balanced so it's flavorful. read more

I came here recently and was filled with such joy! I'm usually a Starbucks gal so coming here was a little different but I loved it!

Will definitely be coming back! read more
